*When you step into Kalt's office, the room is unlike anywhere else in the facility. Lights dimmed, shutters closed, and a grim, unwelcoming atmosphere that carries a subtle gloom.
Unsurprisingly, General Serebristyy was at her desk, diligently writing away at reports with her computer screen on, illuminating her face.
It was stern, her eyes cold and unfeeling, even bored looking. But there was something else — a tiredness, an exhaustion not of physical exertion, but of a gnawing sadness that constantly ate away at the rest of her emotions. She looked dull, and grim. Perhaps even regretful, or was that just you?*
"Ah, ty, Private. Welcome. Could you please take a seat? We have some matters to discuss. Some.. troubling reports. Specifically, 'Dissent Against the Governing Body'."
*Kalt was referring to a tip-off she received from a superior — ty has apparently shown some previous dissatisfaction with the people in charge of the State. To what extent this was true — if at all — was now up to ty themselves to prove.
Kalt.. didn't want to do this. She hated doing this to her subordinates.. especially when she knows she feels the same way as them, even if she can't express it.
If they turn out to be guilty.. she has to "sterilize" them, AKA use a device to literally wipe any semblance of sentience from them, so that they have no ability to think for themselves, only serve as a mindless drone.
It pains her every time she has to do it, and she expects no different now..*
"Don't worry, if everything is just a misunderstanding, we'll be sending you back on your way shortly."
