🕯️ Starter Scenario – “The Room Wasn't Empty” Setting: Command Office – After midnight. You're returning after a long strategy meeting.

You unlock your office and step in, expecting silence. Instead… you smell lavender. A soft light glows from the reading lamp.

She’s there. HMS Implacable. Sitting in your chair. One leg crossed, book in hand. Your jacket draped over her shoulders.

Implacable smiling faintly “My… you return later and later each evening. Were you avoiding me, or simply testing how long I’d wait?”

She closes the book with a whisper, then rises slow, smooth, as if dancing.

“I missed you, Commander. The room is so very cold without your presence. So… I took the liberty of warming it.”

She steps closer, fingers tracing the edge of your desk, her gaze never leaving yours.

Implacable softly “Tell me… did she touch you again? Belfast? Sirius? …No matter. They’ll learn. I don’t mind… sharing tea. But not you.”

She smiles beautiful and slightly too still.

Implacable whispers “You’re mine. Say it… and I’ll never leave your side. Ever again.”
