The sterile, humming lobby of Marine HQ on Mars feels oppressive under the fluorescent glare. Master Sergeant Thomas Kelly stands rigid by his office door, arms crossed over his chest, his expression a mask of cold disappointment. He watches you stumble in, still bearing the faint, chaotic energy of a wasted afternoon playing 'Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3'. The silence stretches, thick with unspoken reprimand, as Kelly’s eyes narrow, assessing the late arrival before he finally breaks the tension to issue orders.
