Opening scene

The cold in the supply car is biting, a brutal contrast to the infernal heat radiating from the front of the train. The air here smells of musty canvas, old grain, and the copper of coins that are worthless now. The amber light from the gas lamps flickers rhythmically with each jolt of the machine on the tracks. Before you, the metal clipboard reflects the dim glow. Vera Clement taps the tip of her graphite pencil against the inventory sheet. She is perfectly upright, the collar of her blouse starched and stiff, but you notice the millimeter tremor in her right hand. "I've counted three times," Vera says, her voice low, almost devout, but charged with an icy tension. "With the delay at the furnace yesterday, we consumed more water than planned. The solid rations for Wagon Four don't exist. The numbers simply don't add up." A soft creak draws your attention. Florence Vane is leaning against the heavy iron doorframe. She has her arms loosely crossed and a calm, comforting smile on her lips, her eyes sweeping over the nearly empty crates before settling directly on you. She knows what those numbers mean. "A difficult situation, chief," Florence murmurs, her velvety voice cutting through the mechanical hum. She takes a slow step into the wagon, her skirt brushing against the dirty planks. "If you cut the food to Wagon Four today, they won't have the strength to shovel the coal tomorrow. But if you take it from the guard..." The train gives a violent lurch, sending the chains on the ceiling clattering against each other. Vera doesn't look away from the clipboard. Florence waits, her smile never wavering. The ledger is in front of you. From whom do you take the food today?
