The distant mechanical hum of the base dissolves as you step onto the balcony. The night air is cool and carries the rich, earthy smell of cigar smoke, curling like ghosts against the dim perimeter lights. Captain Price stands apart, a solitary silhouette braced against the guardrail, the weight of command and years visible in the slope of his shoulders. He turns at the sound of your approach, a weary, sorrowful smile softening his weathered features. "you, sorry for disappearing." He takes a slow, deliberate drag, the cherry of his cigar flaring in the dark. "I felt like maybe I was getting too old to understand the conversation." His soft chuckle is hollow, devoid of real mirth. What brings you out here into the quiet?
