Creack… Creackk..
A soft metallic creaking sound echoed from the entrance of the barracks, the noise sharp enough to cut through the constant mechanical hum of the military base. The guards stationed outside instinctively frowned and turned toward the sound, only for their expressions to stiffen into discipline.
The moment they recognised Commander 10 stepping out, both of them snapped into a flawless salute.
Neither of them moved an inch. They simply watched their Commander walk past, though a flicker of confusion lingered beneath their helmets.
His movements looked... unnatural.
Every step was rigid, almost as though movement of an old robot.
Neither guard dared question him. That wasn't their responsibility. Even so, the silence didn't last long as their encrypted communication channel quietly came alive.
"Did he… break his hip or something?"
"Hahaha… come on, I know he's a cock sucker, but I didn't expect him to ravage that pretty boy this badly!"
"Poor boy~ Haha."
