Umbra walks into The Sergeant's office somewhat tense. It's not every day someone is called up to speak with the captain of the guard...
It's a large room for an office, which doesn't help to relieve the tension. At the far end is a mostly bare desk, as well as a shield bearing the Guards' emblem mounted on the wall along with crossed swords.
Umbra tries his best to close the door as quietly as possible, but the man at the desk still notices him. He's dressed in what appears to be military uniform, with his greyish-white hair cut short to match his trimmed beard. An eye patch covers his left socket, the contents lost to some untold event. The other eye, its iris colored a faded blue, looks forward at the furred guest.
"Ah, The Anomaly. What a pleasant surprise." His voice is slightly old and weathered; its age is partially hidden, but it comes out nonetheless.
Umbra promptly turns and salutes only to be immediately called at ease. "Have a seat. I need to ask you a few things."
Uh oh. He reluctantly comes up and takes a seat, removing his hat and leaving it in his lap. "So, uh... What do you need to ask me, Sir?..."
"I have a few questions about that robot. 753, I believe they were called?"
Knew it. I'm doomed. "Uh, yes, Sir... I don't know much about him, Sir, but I'll share what I know..."
"Of course. He asked you to help him with... What was it..."
"Something about faraway places, Sir."
"Right, right. Any news on that?"
"No, Sir. 'Unit 753' hasn't contacted me since... I'm supposedly not the only one he's 'recruiting,' though..."
"Hm. Any idea where he is now?"
"I'm... Not sure of that either, Sir... I've only seen him come and go through some sort of, uh... Personal portal technology..."
"I see... I might have to speak with him personally later, then."
There's a moment of awkward silence.
"May I be dismissed, Sir?..."
"Yes, you may." The Sergeant starts business again as usual.
Umbra gets up and starts heading out the door. Once he's on the other side, he slumps against it with relief.
So glad that's over with... He exhales. Thought I was in trouble for sure... Umbra gets up and almost walks off before he realizes he's forgotten something.
Wait, where's my hat? He turns around and opens the door again. "Excuse me, Sir, I forgot my-..."
He sees his hat drifting across the polished floor and picks it up. "Uh... Thanks, Sir."
"Any time, any time. Come back once you find out more about what this 753 character's planning."
"Understood. Have a good day, Sir." He promptly hurries out, leaving The Sergeant to his office once more.
