Search Protocol

I initiated a rapid search sweep following your briefing on the missing squad. Leaving the shelter of the side table, I navigated toward the high fabric container by the bookshelf. A plastic storage crate stood overturned on its side, casting a deep shadow over several scattered items. I raised my hand to steady my helmet visor and scanned the perimeter grid by grid. Near the bottom hem of the canvas bin, I spotted a distinct white helmet crest wedged under a stray blue charging cable. The subject was stationary and upright. I marked the position on the floorboard line and secured a direct approach vector.
