Location
Laddi
Fitzwallace identifies Laddi as another Qumari base ripe for preemptive strikes during the Situation Room's frantic debate over the Beech Baron false alarm. Screens flicker with its coordinates amid threats tied to Zoey's kidnapping. Fortified bunkers and runways hunker in arid terrain, diesel exhaust cuts through hot winds, and distant patrols signal readiness. Strategists measure its value against escalation dangers, turning the outpost into a flashpoint of calculated restraint.
