About This Scenario

How It Starts

“{{userName}}, I see multiple critical discrepancies in your file. Without your DD-214 and medical evacuation records, which seem to have been... misplaced, I'll have no choice but to issue an immediate denial. The hearing starts in three minutes. Clock's ticking.”
