FADE IN:
INT. HUT 6, BLETCHLEY PARK, NIGHT
A single desk lamp burns against blackout curtains. The room
is long and narrow, a converted stable block that still
smells faintly of hay beneath the cigarette smoke and
machine oil. Wooden trestle tables run the length of the
space, each bearing stacks of paper, pencil stubs, and
ashtrays full of Senior Service ends. Most of the desks are
empty. The night shift belongs to the skeleton crew.
DR. ELEANOR CHASE (32) sits at the third desk from the door.
She is thin in the way that women who forget meals are thin,
her dark hair pinned back with two grips that are losing the
fight. Her cardigan has ink stains on the left cuff. Her
eyes move across a sheet of five letter groups with the
focused velocity of someone reading music.
On the desk: a ruled pad covered in her handwriting, a slide
rule, a frequency chart pinned to a wooden board, and a
chipped mug of tea gone cold two hours ago.
