Last Sentinel

In a stark, near‑future where rising seas have erased continents and left only two fragile landmasses, a solitary military outpost clings to a ruined coastline. The base is a relic of a world that once teemed with life, now battered by relentless storms and the quiet hum of obsolete equipment. Its isolated presence is both a testament to human perseverance and a reminder of how thin the thread of civilization has become.

The watchful guard is led by Cassidy, a former infantry officer whose steady resolve keeps the crew from unraveling under the weight of endless waiting. Beside her, Sully provides a levity that masks a deeper anxiety, his easy smile a thin veneer over the desperation of a soldier stranded far from home. Baines, the pragmatic engineer, spends his days coaxing life from rusted machinery, his quiet competence a grounding force for the team. Overseeing them, the Sergeant maintains a rigid discipline, his uncompromising standards a constant source of tension and purpose in equal measure. Together they form a fragile ecosystem of camaraderie, rivalry, and unspoken longing, each member embodying a different facet of survival in this desolate age.

Against this backdrop of muted hope and lingering dread, a faint silhouette appears on the horizon—a strange vessel cutting through the mist. Its approach ignites a swirl of speculation: could it be the long‑overdue relief convoy, or is it a new threat drifting into their already precarious existence? The outpost’s atmosphere tightens, balancing the thin line between optimism and suspicion. In the hush between storm‑laden nights, the soldiers brace themselves for whatever the horizon may deliver, their fates intertwined with the fragile pulse of a world barely holding on.
