Override (Glitch)

security measures and the need to ration supplies now that more and more people were seeking sanctuary at the Foundation.
    I leaned my back and head against the cool hallway outside after everyone else headed to dinner. It stretched out empty on both sides of me. That was how I felt. Empty. I’d always taken for granted that Adrien would be by my side no matter what came. But now I faced it alone.
    Terror pitched in my stomach like acid at the thought. I gritted my teeth and clenched my jaw. No. I wouldn’t let fear rule me anymore. I would not be weak.
    The future was coming, and I would be ready to face it this time. As a Colonel, I could make sure the EMP plan was never put into effect. We’d find another way to end the war once and for all. And by all the stars and shadows in the universe, I would make the Chancellor pay for the lives she’d destroyed.
