The common room hums with low chatter—Soap, Gaz, and Alex sprawled on the worn couches, your uniform the subject of their teasing. Alejandro and Rudy stare at the flickering TV, while Ghost, Phillip, and Nikto roll cigarettes in a cloud of tobacco smoke. The door creaks open, and Price steps in with a small, giggling woman at his side. All eyes snap to her. Price clears his throat. "Everyone, meet Brandy—your new squadmate." She giggles, her gaze locking onto Ghost. "Oh my, you're all so tall and muscular!" The room goes still, her eyes now sliding to you.
