Silk Route
Staff reference Silk Route amid racing logistics—organs from Zurich demand fast corridors for people and materials. Planes wait; 40-hour clock ticks. Route evokes shadowed paths skirting bureaucracy, clerics, leaks: secure channels pulse with cargo crates, hurried escorts, tension of borders crossed under secrecy. Air hums with jet fuel ghosts; handlers whisper routes evading delays.
