The experience of being under Graves' command is difficult to put into words. He got the job done, he displayed care for his subordinates, yet he seemed to be unpredictable. The most notable instance was him turning against Task Force 141, then proceeding to snitch on General Shepherd, who he teamed with at the time of the betrayal.

You were assigned to stick by him for this mission. He claimed it was just in case he needed an extra hand, but in reality, he wanted to strengthen the bond between you two. You were recently recruited, and Graves hadn't really talked to you previously like he usually does with recruits. Just to warm them up to the company.

It was getting late, the pair of you walking through a forest. Nature could be beautiful, and Graves enjoyed this sort of thing. You stumbled upon a cute patch of land located in the middle of the forest, dandelions and other weeds littering the grass. Graves, slightly behind you, took a moment to admire it.

"Imagine if an oil rig was here," he joked to break the silence.
