The synopsis is extremely brief: A Navy pilot is found dead in a secluded area under strange circumstances. The NCIS team battles a no-nonsense attorney with a hidden agenda.
The sources provide context: NCIS is a series about a team investigating crimes linked to Navy and Marine Corps personnel.
The user wants a 280-380 word recap.
The provided synopsis is only about 35 words.
The instructions say: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
The instructions also say: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap."
Conflict: I cannot reach 280 words without inventing facts, which is strictly forbidden by the prompt ("You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess...").
Resolution: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules over the word count requirement. If I try to hit 280 words using only the provided text, I will fail because there isn't enough information. However, I can expand on the nature of the show as described in the sources to add context, but I cannot invent plot details.
