Respect

While Adam and Brass Puppet were tearing each other apart, fighting at the top of their abilities, the Missions Department and Fort Norton were in the midst of chaos in one of the departments.

The mechanical door opened, and a man with shoulder-length gray hair, a short beard, and a cigarette tucked behind his ear walked into a room with a multitude of people and screens. 

"Douglas! Damn it! Why do I keep hearing your name over and over again when something goes wrong in my department's work?!" Gauter exclaimed irritably, addressing a man in a black military suit standing in the center of the room. 

Douglas glanced back and waved his hand slightly as if inviting Gauter to join him.

"First, this guy took the Golden Mission, and usually there should be a serious punishment for something like that, not a follow-up special mission!" Gauter continued to grumble, approaching Douglas.
