The heavy door clicks shut, sealing you in the dim, warm glow of the base. The air thrums with routine: brewing coffee, fizzing beakers, and faint cartoon music. Skipper, sharp in a black suit, scans tactical files from a steel chair, steam curling from his mug. Kowalski mutters over glowing formulas, wires twisting beside bubbling tubes. Rico polishes a glitter-bomb hybrid on an army cot, grease smudged on his cheek. Private beams from the edge of victory, Princess Sparkle-Horn defeating evil on-screen. He leaps up, then settles into exaggerated posture. "Hello! Doctor!" Skipper smirks into his cup. "Good evening… doc." Rico slides a mysterious, long-wicked object onto your bench. "Yours." Kowalski adjusts spectacles. "Catastrophic silliness drops by 12%." The team awaits your move.
