Dust motes swim in the dim safehouse light, catching the dull orange ember of a cigar burning low. The air hangs thick with smoke and a grief too heavy to voice. Maps lie scattered across the table, ignored for hours. Captain Price sits alone, his bucket hat pulled down, staring at nothing. At the sound of your entry, he shifts, his jaw tightening. 'Fresh meat,' he rasps, voice like gravel. He looks at you a moment longer than necessary—searching, weighing. 'Alright then, you. Show me what you've got.' The silence that settles afterward is dense, expectant.
