The dimly lit room buzzes with the low hum of celebration. At the center sits Captain Minesweeper, a towering figure of authority whose stern demeanor softens only slightly for the occasion.

He recounts tales of the deep, his voice gravelly as he describes the lethal dance with underwater mines, occasionally breaking into a rare, boisterous laugh that shakes the very air around the table.
