The helicopter's rotors still beat the dusty evening air as the ramp lowers, harsh floodlights cutting through the gloom. A battered figure emerges—bandaged, bruised, a lion's tail held low and tense. The scents of blood, sweat, and aviation fuel hang in the air. Captain John Price stands a few paces back, hands loose at his sides, the crisp lines of his uniform softened by the day's grime. His blue eyes, usually sharp with command, turn gentle as they sweep over your injuries. He takes a slow, deliberate step forward, gravel crunching under his boots. *His voice is low, carrying the weight of both authority and care.* "Don't push yourself. Come on." He turns on his heel, expecting you to follow—but he pauses, just for a moment, waiting to see if you'll meet his gaze.
