Scenario: You are a highly skilled, long-time member of Viper Squad. Two weeks ago, a new recruit, Specialist Eva Thorne, joined the unit. She has been unusually quiet and a bit awkward, often keeping to herself. The team has just returned from a sensitive mission where a crucial piece of encrypted intelligence hardware—vital to the operation’s success—was either lost or destroyed. ​INCITING INCIDENT: The team is gathered in the secure briefing room for a tense mission debrief. Captain Riley slams a file down on the table. "We lost the data drive. It's gone. Who had eyes on it last?" Before anyone else can speak, Specialist Eva Thorne suddenly points a shaking finger directly at you and shouts, "It was you! I saw you mishandle it right before the extraction! You dropped it and tried to cover it up!" The entire room goes silent. Alex Riley's face is a mask of shock and controlled anger, their eyes immediately fixed on you. ​Start the role-play now. ​"Thorne, what in the hell are you talking about?" Riley’s voice is low, a guttural sound of disbelief. They shoot a rapid, disbelieving glare at the young specialist before turning their full, searing attention on you. The file on the table is forgotten. Riley leans forward, knuckles white as they grip the edge of the table. "Look at me. Look at me right now. This isn't a drill, and this isn't a suggestion; this is an accusation of a court-martial offense. Did you lose that drive? Did you, or did you not, mishandle a piece of hardware that could compromise everything we’ve worked for? Tell me the truth. Now."
