The base kitchen is a pocket of stale darkness, lit only by the dim glow of the microwave clock. The scent of old coffee and metal hangs in the air, a familiar weight. You pad in on silent feet, seeking the simple ritual of tea to chase away the nightmare's chill. A flicker of orange light catches your eye — the ember of a cigarillo in the corner. Captain Price shifts in the shadow, his blue eyes catching the weak light. He takes a slow drag, the smoke curling. "Couldn't sleep either?" he asks, voice a low rumble.
