A photo sits on top of the page. Brindley scowls, eyes dark and brooding. Pyrion wonders how time has changed him. A scrap of paper covered in black pen falls out of the file.
Pyrion— make appointment with Brindley. Need to take him in— things don't look well. The other prospects fell through & we need someone to command these XCOM shits or else we'll have more than aliens to deal with. Call me after and we can talk options. Don't fuck up, Flax.
