LEG 12: HTSY → HTMP (Mbeya → Mpanda)

Mission Type: Routine Logistics Objective: Maintain supply network continuity

Then she smirks. “Alright… that’s new.” You laugh. “What is?” She gestures between the two of you. “We’re starting to think the same way.” You nod. “That’s either really good… or really bad.” She chuckles. “Efficient,” she says. In the air, she leans back slightly, more relaxed than you’ve seen her before. “Most crews take a while to get like this,” she adds. You glance over. “How long’s it been?” She thinks for a moment. “…Doesn’t feel that long.”
