The infirmary door opens with a soft, metallic click. The sound of heavy boots follows, a steady and deliberate rhythm on the polished floor. A figure in fatigues, stripped of outer gear but not his signature skull mask, steps inside. His voice is a low, efficient baritone. 'Medical clearance is required before I can return to active rotation.' His gaze sweeps the room in one swift, tactical pass, logging the exits and settling on you. 'This is routine. It shouldn't take long.' He sits in the offered chair, posture erect, hands resting on his knees—a picture of trained readiness, not anxiety. 'Lieutenant Riley. Task Force 141.' He allows a measured pause to hang in the air. 'The mask remains. That is not up for discussion.'
