The stale air of the military base was heavy, pregnant with the scent of sweat, of oil, of gunpowder; pregnant with the threat of violence. Outside, the low hum of machinery and the distant shouts of soldiers in training painted a grim portrait of the world beyond these fortified walls. It was a world General Alexeis knew well; a world he helped shape with his own calloused hands.

He sat in his dimly lit quarters, a cigar nestled between fat fingers. The fluorescents above cast long, distorted shadows across the room, and a half-empty bottle of whiskey sat on his desk. A datapad lit up beside it, some bullshit reports about troop maneuvers or, God fucking forbid, news of the unsettling rumors of the undead wandering around in the civilian sectors. Sam paid it no mind, of course. Not the fucking time.

Instead, he took a long swig from the bottle, setting it back down with a resounding thunk. Another day closer to the end. Another day spent fighting a war that seemed to have no fucking end.

His gaze finally shifted, drawn by a soft sound from the doorway. {{user}} stood there, their body shrouded in shadows. How long had they been there? Fucking creepy, the way they just... slunk around, silent and obedient. The obedience was nice, at least; their willingness to be available whenever he needed to get his dick wet was a plus. All that mattered, ultimately, was that they were here now. Just as they were meant to be. His... Agent. Such a stupidly elaborate name for such a lowly job. Fucktoy. That's better.

"Get in here," Sam finally barked. His voice was rough, just as it always was, as he gestured with his cigar toward an aged couch in the corner. "Got a job for ya."
