Foundations

Subic Bay Shipyard — Wednesday, 08:00 AM

The early morning sun had just begun to pierce through the thin fog lingering over the coast. A soft breeze carried the briny scent of the sea as light reflected off the rusted hulls of old cranes and unused rail tracks. But today, the dormant shipyard buzzed with the energy of purpose.

Matthew stood at the center of the main hangar—Hangar 4, soon to be the future nucleus of localized Titan production. Beside him, Angel clutched a sleek tablet in one hand and a binder in the other, already scanning and cross-referencing schedules, vendor lists, and construction permits. Around them, a growing crew of engineers, surveyors, and architects moved with intent. The transformation had begun.
