-REDACTED NAME-: Looks like it. -chair screech- Wake him up.

A: My pleasure. -footsteps--loud metallic bang-

B: Ah! -feet shuffling--chait falling--laboured breathing- S-SIR!

A: No need to salute. I'm not defense.

-REDACTED NAME-: At ease, Corporal.

B: SIR!

-REDACTED NAME-: Stop yelling.

B: SI-Sir, i-I'm sorr-I mean, I apologize for being asleep and uh-

A: Apologies should be ours. -footsteps- You must have been waiting for a while.

B: It's not the waiting, sir. It's my constitution. It's in my report, sir.

-REDACTED NAME-: Is that so? Hmm... the tablet does show that.

A: Interesting. -chair screech--exhale- Take a seat, Corporal.

B: Yes, sir! -footsteps--chair being picked up--exhale- Apologies for my manners, sir.

A: It's okay. You can't help it. We understand your... unique circumstances.

B: Thank you, sir. It won't happen again, sir.

A: So, Corporal, can you tell me how you got that bruise on your face?

B: We got in a fight, sir.

A: Well, that's obvious but I'm asking more about the circumstances.

B: After the live news coverage of Terra ended, we decided to turn ourselves in for questioning because we figured someone might come for us. While leaving, we got cornered by some of the residents of the building. We just protected ourselves.

A: And I'm sure the video will show that too?

B: Yes, sir. They were asking questions about Terra and if we'd know she was planning this.

-REDACTED NAME-: Did you?

B: No. We're all close friends who would die for each other if needed, but... No, Terra never let us in on anything she was planning. We didn't even know she was planning something. She seemed to be... She seemed to be returning to who she used to be lately.

A: She is clearly just a good actor. She had us all hoodwinked, not only your team... I didn't see any bruises on Corporal Rush. Are you the only one hurt?
