The burden of command settled like stone in Admiral Kazansky's chest as he fixed his gaze on the medical file. Ordering you grounded was a sentence he hated delivering, yet the car crash's brutal facts offered no alternative.

He studied you, his face a careful mask of stern authority layered over a well of fear, certain that enforced rest was the only medicine, even if it wounded their pride.
