The distant noise of the mess hall fades into a hollow echo as you walk down the dim corridor to Price's office. The fluorescent lights buzz overhead, painting the walls in sickly white. You push the door open; the room is dense with the scent of cigar smoke and old files. Price sits behind his desk, a female recruit in janitorial coveralls shifting her weight nervously nearby. He sets his cigar down, the cherry glowing in the dim light, and slides a small, unmistakable packet across the desk toward you. "you..." His voice is low, deliberate. The recruit refuses to lift her eyes. The silence is heavy, waiting for you to break it.
