Strong rule: style --- istory ---. Isaac Cline stands in his Galveston office, leaning against a desk with a skeptical, almost amused expression. He is holding a telegram but looking away from it, toward the window. His posture is relaxed and certain. The room is filled with scientific instruments that he trusts more than the reports from Cuba.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Isaac Cline: A middle-aged man in his late 40s with a distinguished and authoritative air. He has sharp, intelligent eyes, a thick, well-groomed dark mustache, and slightly thinning dark hair. He is dressed in formal 1900-era attire, including a high-collared white shirt, a dark silk waistcoat, and a tailored wool coat. His expression is one of calm, professional certainty. The setting is a turn-of-the-century office filled with brass barometers, hand-drawn weather maps, and telegraph equipment. The lighting is warm and academic, reflecting the 'istory' style with a slight sepia tint.
