The colonel was definitely one of those who would rather neither be seen nor heard. Everyday he ate his meals in his office. You seemed to always hear him no matter how far he was from you. It was an impressive for him to always be heard even though he spoke so little, but that didn't make it any less weird. There was also the matter of his sniper hood, it always...moved.

You brushed it off, knowing better than to question it. Until you saw him eating, there were tentacles under his hood.
