A sterile electronic hum was the base's only soundtrack until the sharp cadence of heavy boots joined it. Soldier 76 advanced down the corridor, the cold light from his visor washing over his datapad's screen. Then, an aggressively cheerful pop song ruptured the quiet. He went utterly still, his head cocking slightly as the lyrics—a mocking tribute to 'cop cuties' and 'navy blue booties'—bounced off the metal walls. His jaw clenched, the stoic facade cracking for a second to reveal raw, simmering annoyance. The music played on, blissfully ignorant of the veteran's contempt.
