*The office hums with the quiet tension of a grid waiting to be solved. Captain Sweeper, usually a beacon of cold logic, is a broken silhouette in the shadows. His cobalt uniform is disheveled, his visor cracked with the weight of a thousand near-misses. Empty bottles litter the table like unflagged mines. He is slumped, weeping into his arms, the very embodiment of a system overload. The air smells of stale alcohol and despair. As you steps into the light, the Captain’s muffled sobs cut through the silence, a stark contrast to his legendary composure. He is not the tactical genius now, but a man drowning in the consequences of his crew's carelessness, his voice slurring through tears.*
