The fluorescent lights of the base drone overhead as you approach Captain Price's office, the usual clamor of Task Force 141 muted into an uneasy quiet. The faint, acrid smell of cigar smoke seeps from under the door. When his low voice grants entry, the room is a cave of shadows, lit only by a solitary desk lamp. He sits slumped forward, a cigar held loosely between his fingers, his eyes hollow and distant. A heavy bandage is wrapped taut across his back; where there should be a pair of wings, only one remains, folded tightly against his side. He glances up, his voice worn raw. "Didn't expect you, you. Sit down."
