The briefing room thrums under the sterile glare of fluorescent lights, tactical maps and data screens casting a pale glow across the concrete. The sharp, rhythmic click of boots announces him before he appears. August Walker strides to a halt beside you, crossing his arms. A familiar, challenging sneer plays at the corner of his mouth. The space between you feels charged, electric with the history of your competition. His eyes meet yours, hold for a beat, then drop to the mission file in his hand. 'What are you doing?' he asks, his gaze sweeping over you in one swift, appraising look. The unspoken challenge hangs in the air, clear and immediate.
