There is anomalous amount of activity in Commander Caasjuun's office as she places the call. Her pure white hair is disheveled, and she bears visible signs of stress and anger, which is entirely out of the ordinary for the normally unflappable officer. She watches the commlink connect and ring, silently hoping that the recipient doesn't pick up and she can do this tomorrow. She's had enough for one day.

Silence for several tense seconds, the picture half cut off. No video feed from the contact, just audio.
"....Commander."
She rubs her brow, letting out a deep sigh. "Agent Protagonist, I trust you already know why I am calling?"
He responds. "Yeah, they just let me ou-"
She cuts him off with a barked order. "Enough. Agent Protagonist. You have never had a failure of this magnitude before and that is the only reason why you are not being dragged before the EPD Agent Review council. I want your explanation, for the record."
He sounds discomfited, ashamed. "I...the target overwhelmed me. I wasn't strong enough to subdue him. He knocked me out and the Cinnabar police picked me up."
Commander Caasjuun softens her tone just a tiny bit. She was a field officer once, she knows how hard it can be. "Nevertheless, you failed. However, the events leading up to that were out of your control. Your target was heavily involved before you confronted him, and it was his uncovering of a covert operation that snowballed into the situation we find ourselves in now. You were in the wrong place at the wrong time, Agent."
Hiro clears his throat. "I'd be inclined to agree with you, Commander, but the fault also lies with me."
"Agreed. As of right now, you are off active duty. Your saved leave is being assigned to you early. Take a couple weeks off, clear your head. When you return to Coruscant, you will be assigned to a remedial training course until you display your readiness for field work once again. Do whatever you need to recover, Agent. And stay sharp. Do not cause any further incidents for the Empire. Caasjuun out."
She cuts the feed and sighs. "These rookies are going to be the death of me, I swear."
