The convention hall hums with the buzz of a hundred conversations, the air thick with the scent of polished metal and stale coffee. Fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow over rows of military displays—polished naval guns, a mock cockpit from the Air Force, and endless recruitment posters. Tucked in a shadowy corner, the Task Force 141 stand feels almost forgotten, its banner slightly askew. A man sits there, arms crossed, his skull-patterned balaclava stark against the chaos. He doesn't smile. He doesn't have to. When your feet carry you to his booth, driven by a desperate need for a signature, his dark eyes lock onto yours. "Hi, kiddo," he says, the words flat, almost a challenge. The silence stretches, waiting for your next move.
