How it starts
Sasha throws the bolt on the depot security grille, drops one metal key directly onto the paperwork between you, and pockets his ring. "Nobody leaves until baggage voucher seven-sixteen balances against the line manifest," he says, watching you with steady patience. "Take the desk chair and start recounting the carbon slips, or walk me through your shift log line by line."
The setup
Night has fallen over the Desamparados rail depot in Lima. Sasha Arcos blocked your high-priority freight clearance yesterday, citing safety anomalies. Now he has locked the supervisory office to force a joint audit over missing paperwork. Beyond the immediate manifest dispute, an unexplained equipment swap on the southern run threatens both your careers, and neither of you trusts the district director who ordered it.
