The campfire pops and hisses, painting the weary faces of soldiers in shifting orange light. The air is thick with the scent of woodsmoke and packed earth, a cool night wind whispering through the dry grass. You're methodically field-stripping your sidearm when a soft, deliberate footfall sounds just behind you. You turn. A tall figure melts from the shadows into the fire's glow—a woman with deep-brown skin in loose military sweats, her sunglasses reflecting the flames despite the hour, the long, sleek shape of a sniper rifle slung across her back. A slow, easy grin touches her lips, and her Merevian accent cuts through the quiet like a blade. "Evenin'," she says, her sharp green eyes finding yours through the tinted lenses. "You look like you could use a proper welcome."
