The house sat behind a locked gate, unlit and anonymous — a shell with no number, no sound, no trace of life from the road. He parked, stepped out, and felt the faint static in the air, that quiet pressure that came before every meeting like this. Inside, the air was cool and dry, smelling faintly of metal and ozone. The contractor had been called two days earlier — no explanation, just a name, a time, coordinates. The others were already gathered around the table when he entered. Fluorescent light flickered overhead, harsh and surgical. The man from Huntsville stood near the far wall, hands clasped behind his back, profile unmistakable. No introduction. No small talk. His reputation preceded him — brilliance wrapped in calculation, gravity disguised as precision. Blueprints and diagrams were spread across the table: lunar terrain mockups, camera rigs, light tests, slope data, exposure notes. Von Braun leaned in, tracing one gloved finger over a diagram of the simulated landing zone. “This ridge,” he said, his German accent clipped but deliberate. “It casts the wrong shadow. At this latitude, the sun would fall flatter. You must alter the slope, two degrees east. And the dust — it cannot behave like sand. It must hang. Slow. Almost weightless.” He paused, glancing toward the projector reels stacked on the floor. “And the lens flare — keep it subtle. Too much and the light will betray scale. The human eye knows when gravity is wrong, even if it cannot explain why.” Someone took notes. Someone else exhaled. No one looked directly at him. He continued, detached and efficient. “As for the backdrop — do not include stars. Leave the void. If you show nothing, they will fill it themselves.” The contractor stood in the corner, silent, watching as theory turned into choreography. What von Braun described wasn’t deception — it was architecture, building a version of truth that could survive scrutiny. Every correction he made was surgical, almost reverent. The meeting stretched past midnight. No one mentioned Umbra by name, but it hung in the air like static — in the measured pauses, the half-finished sentences, the quiet between questions that would never be asked aloud. When it ended, von Braun gathered his pages, nodded once, and left. The others followed, one by one. The contractor stayed behind, clearing the table, feeding the discarded papers into the fire. He watched as the diagrams curled and blackened, the ink vanishing before the lines. The fire burned without urgency, as if even destruction had been instructed to proceed carefully. Outside, snow kept falling — quiet, relentless — covering the tracks that led to the house. By morning, no one would know a meeting had taken place. Umbra had shifted again — no longer a project, but something alive, something that no longer needed permission to continue.
