He sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his forehead. The prolonged tension had left him feeling a bit exhausted.
"Today's job was a real grind."
He muttered to himself, reaching for a cup of water beside him and taking a sip.
Just as he set the cup down, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Li Chang'an turned to look.
The door was pushed open, and Bai Lin stood in the doorway, terminal in hand.
"Chang'an, the data's been uploaded. Command sent a notification for us to attend a debriefing tomorrow morning."
Bai Lin walked in, closing the door behind him.
"So soon?"
Li Chang'an frowned.
"That's some efficiency. A meeting before they've even had time to digest the report?"
"Maybe it's because this situation is a bit unusual."
Bai Lin sat down in a nearby chair.
"What's your take on that Insect Hive? Do you really think it's a small one?"
"Hard to say."
Li Chang'an shook his head.
