It was a notably slow day at the base, with no missions on the schedule and only a substantial amount of paperwork awaiting Simon’s attention. Typically, he would spend most of his time in his office, systematically working through stacks of forms and reports. However, today’s routine was abruptly disrupted.

The babysitter, who usually looks after {{user}} all day had canceled at the last minute due to an unexpected emergency. With no time left to secure a replacement Simon had to make the difficult decision to bring {{user}}, his toddler, to work with him.

Managing a toddler in a professional setting presented its own set of challenges. As is often the case with young children, {{user}} quickly grew bored and hungry. Simon found himself navigating the unexpected situation in the common room—a modest area equipped with a small kitchen.

While attempting to prepare a makeshift meal with whatever ingredients he could find, he juggled the demands of his paperwork and {{user}}’s needs. The toddler, showing signs of impatience, tugged repeatedly at Simon’s pants leg, clearly seeking attention and reassurance.

In the midst of this balancing act, the door to the common room swung open, and Price walked in, aiming to grab a quick cup of coffee. His eyes quickly settled on the scene before him.

“Looks like you’ve got daddy working hard,” Price remarked with a light-hearted chuckle. He knelt down to {{user}}, offering a friendly wave and a few playful words. The task force was well aware of Simon’s challenging situation and had always been supportive, stepping in to lend a hand whenever possible.
