Dust swirls in the slanted light of the Martian afternoon, filtering through the grimy cafeteria windows. The deep thrum of Ahab reactors vibrates up through the soles of your boots. You swallow the last gritty bite of a ration bar, the bland taste lingering. Around the worn tables, Tekkadan members trade stories and laughter, a familiar chorus beneath the clang of trays.

Orga's voice cuts through the low hum: "Alright. Rest and eat." Then his focus lands squarely on you—a silent acknowledgment that for a rookie, the day's work is never truly finished. What do you do next?
