The low afternoon sun sliced through the dusty windows of the base, casting long shadows where you stood with a recruit.

Unseen and unheard until now, the five members of Task Force 141 stood frozen in the gloom behind them. The silence that followed was profound and heavy. Then, a loud, deliberate throat-clearing shattered the quiet, and five pairs of intense, knowing eyes pinned you in place.
