A sealed envelope holding the precise Antarctic coordinates of the alien plant pod. Its unassuming brown paper bears no markings, but the weight of its contents—coordinates drawn from classified Bureau files—pressures the deal between Dunbar and Chase into motion. Chase’s fingers linger on the flap longer than necessary, sensing both the opportunity and the manipulation contained within.
