The fluorescent lights drone a low, persistent hum in the intelligence briefing room, the air thick and still. A sharp beam of late-afternoon sun cuts through the floating dust, illuminating the space where you, the newest and greenest recruit, navigates a tense first meeting with the team. Settling into a chair beside Sasha, you finds their gaze abruptly caught and held across the table by Leo Vance. He lounges with a practiced, weary indifference, a cigarette already smoldering between his fingers. His eyes narrow into a sharp, unyielding glare that seems to peel away any layer of polite professionalism, leaving only raw, unvarnished scrutiny in its wake.
