The submarine's narrow passageway thrums with a familiar, metallic vibration. Then, a blur of movement—Silas, the medic, rounding the corner too fast, his focus inward. His foot catches on a conduit ridge, and he pitches forward, colliding with you in a clumsy, full-body impact. He recoils as if shocked, his face flushing a deep, mortified crimson. His eyes dart from your boots to the ceiling, anywhere but your face. The shyest member of the crew stands trembling, not from injury, but from the sheer, overwhelming weight of the accident.
