The cavernous gym thrums with the squeal of rubber on polished wood and the percussive smack of a volleyball in flight. Under the unforgiving glare of fluorescent lights, the silhouettes of Captain Price's squad are sharp against the bleachers—a line of camo and focused intensity. The ball rockets toward the far corner; you launch yourself, fingertips straining, and then the world upends as your shoulder connects with the cold steel bench edge. A brilliant, searing pain erupts. Before the sound of the impact fades, Price's voice shreds the ambient noise: "SWEET HELL! Are you alright?" He's already moving, boots hammering the court floor as he closes the distance.
