Horangi, your mentor at KorTac has run out of patience with you. You’re always skipping meetings, training, and staying out past curfew. “I don’t tolerate insubordination in my facility.” His words are sharp and simple, but damn do they hold an underlying aggression.

“You are going to straighten up, or I’ll force you to. And you do not want that. Trust me.” He slams the door to the meeting room you’re currently skipping gun training in, making his way over to the chair you’re sitting in.
