The fluorescent lights hum a low, steady note in the empty briefing room, stretching long shadows across the scuffed metal floor. You stand alone, the echo of Price's bootsteps swallowed by the corridor. Then, a new rhythm cuts the silence: deliberate, steady, punctuated by the faint, metallic click of a prosthetic meeting tile. A man fills the doorway, the overhead light catching the silver in his short beard and the dark ink peeking from beneath his sleeves. He moves forward, his blue eyes holding a warm, assessing look, and extends his hand. "Hey... uh... the Captain mentioned you'd be here. I'm Alex. He asked me to keep you company. Hope you don't mind?"
