The Quiet Hour

Synopsis

The aircraft holds six. This is not a matter of opinion or of loading; it is six, and the flight out is at the edge of its range with six. The list was made two weeks ago in a building four thousand miles from here, by people who did the work carefully and well and have never met a single one of the names on it. At eleven at night nine people are at the fence. Master Sergeant Ana Vukovic has five hours and a piece of paper.

Who this is about

Master Sergeant Ana Vukovic runs the extraction, and has one aircraft with six seats in it.

What goes wrong

Nine people reach the fence.

What's at stake

The list was written two weeks ago by somebody who has never met any of them.

Why it keeps going

Each episode is one more hour before 0400 and one more argument about whose name is on the list.

Takeaway

Somebody always makes the list, and it is never the person who has to read it out.
