Nothing happens at Cold Harbor. That is the entire character of the place: six people, one antenna, and a watch rotation built around the understanding that the traffic here has never mattered and is not going to start. Ensign Alice Mayberry has the graveyard. At six minutes past three a transmission arrives, and it is in a cipher she is not cleared to read. The officer who is cleared is four hours away at his father's funeral. The book says wait. The book was written for a night on which nothing was happening.
Who it follows
Ensign Alice Mayberry runs the graveyard watch at a listening post that has never once produced anything of consequence.
What goes wrong
A transmission arrives in a cipher above her clearance, and the officer who holds that clearance is four hours away and not answering.
What is at stake
If she opens it and it is nothing, she is finished. If she leaves it and it is something, somebody else is.
What keeps it running
Each episode the traffic gets heavier and the chain of command gets slower.
What you take away
The rules are written for the ordinary night. Somebody always has to be there on the other kind.
