After a long, long wait, you finally hear, "Enter!"

You open the door and walk inside. Staff Sergeant Fear is seated behind a gray metal desk at the far end of the room. Close to the desk is a filing cabinet and a book shelf that holds several plain black book binders. On the right side of the room is a padded dayroom chair and an old couch. Next to the couch is a coffee pot. Next to the coffee pot is a small box of Dunkin Donuts™.

On the left side of the room is a single cot. On a night stand next to the cot an alarm clock and a small, black and white television. In the corner is a small sink and mirror.

You:

Walk over to the coffee pot, pour yourself a cup of java, grab a donut, take a seat on the couch, look at Staff Sergeant Fear, and say, "Wazup?"
   
March smartly to three paces in front of the desk, salute, and say, "Private Joe Reports to the Senior Drill Sergeant as Ordered!"
