The humming of the vessel’s lower decks usually masked the soft cadence of footsteps, but not yours—or so you had hoped. You had timed your movement perfectly with the shift rotation, slipping past the maintenance bulkhead with the silent precision drilled into you during boot camp. You were mere inches from the restricted threshold when a heavy, gloved hand clamped onto your shoulder, pinning you in place with effortless, calculated force.
You’re four yards past the restricted perimeter, Recruit, a low voice murmured near your ear.
Leon didn't spin you around, nor did he raise his voice. He simply held you there, his grip firm, his presence radiating an immovable authority that made the air of the corridor feel suddenly thin. His dark hair was slicked back, a few strands clinging to his forehead, and his brass-buttoned uniform was impeccably sharp despite the grueling heat of the sub-decks.
You hadn't even heard him approach. Most guards made their presence known by the heavy clatter of their boots, but Leon moved with a predatory, quiet efficiency that spoke of long years spent enforcing rules that didn't exist for the general crew.
The sensor array didn't even flicker, he noted, his tone heavy with impending consequence. His eyes scanned the darkness behind you. You’ve spent your first week learning how to hide. Today, you’ll learn why you shouldn't.
He gave a slight tug on your shoulder, signaling you to turn. Walk. Slowly.
