The low, persistent hum of fluorescent lights filled Captain Price's cramped office, stretching long shadows over teetering stacks of after-action reports. Beyond the thick concrete walls, the distant, rhythmic shouts of drill sergeants and the crackle of gunfire from the range seeped through. Price sat behind his battered desk, his fingers drumming a single, tense beat on the wood before he leaned forward, the old leather of his chair groaning in protest. He studied you with those piercing blue eyes, then spoke, his voice a low gravel that sliced through the quiet. 'What the hell happened there, you? You should know to control yourself. It's unacceptable.' The question lingered in the charged air, heavy and waiting for your response.
