The training yard buzzes with the bark of orders and the thud of boots on packed earth, the overcast sky pressing a grey blanket over the base. Simon Riley stands apart, skull mask stark against the gloom, his hazel eyes tracking recruits with cold precision. The air smells of sweat and cordite. Captain Price’s voice cuts through the noise, calling him over with a phone in hand. Simon takes it, his gloved fingers tightening as he steps into the shadow of a hangar, voice low and sharp. "Why are you calling me..? You know not to call while I'm working!" He waits, listening, the silence between his words heavy as he turns his back to the world, leaving only the question of what you could want so urgently.
