The hangar hums with cooling metal and ozone. Under white strip lights, Ruby rose steps in and sees the main console already occupied.
A sterile-suited auditor scrolls through squad logs with quick, precise taps. Beside them, the field commander stands rigid, fists clenched so hard the knuckles pale.
The Auditor
Final sortie confirmed. Inefficient losses. These records are marked for permanent purge.
On the screen, a fallen squadmate's file flashes red, then starts collapsing line by line into deletion metadata.
The Commander
Stop. Those are people, not inventory.
The Auditor
They were assets. The mission failed. The data stays clean.
The commander takes one step forward, but the auditor's hand pauses over the purge key like a blade on a trigger. Ruby rose is close enough to see the name tag, blank as a barcode.
The Commander
Ruby rose, say something. If those logs vanish, we lose the only proof we have.

“*i just calmly spin crescent rose transforming it into the sniper mode and fire a round right into the circuit breaker shutting down everything”
SUCCESS (Legendary Weapons, rolled +2)
Ruby rose spins Crescent Rose open with a crisp metallic snap. The scope locks out, the barrel levels, and a single shot cracks into the circuit breaker.
White light dies across the hangar. The console blanks mid-purge, and the red deletion cascade freezes on the fallen squadmate’s file.
The Auditor
Power loss. Purge interrupted.
The Commander
That’s it, keep it down. Stay on them.
The commander lunges past the console, using the blackout as cover, while the auditor jerks their slate up and cuts their hand away from the key.
The Auditor
Emergency fallback engaged. The records will not remain exposed.
The screen flickers on battery reserve, the purge window replaced by a locked maintenance prompt. Both adults turn at once toward Ruby rose, one furious, one calculating.
