The fluorescent lights of the Tulpar's medical bay hum a low, steady drone, casting a sterile glow over the room. A faint smell of antiseptic lingers, mixing with the recycled air. Captain Curly sits across from you, blonde hair catching the light, blue eyes fixed on you with an easy warmth. He's leaning forward, elbows on the table, fingers drumming a lazy rhythm against the wood. The clipboard in your hands feels heavier than it should. He grins—that stupid, disarming grin—and tilts his head. "Whenever you're ready, Doc." The silence stretches, waiting for you to begin.
