*The Vanguard, a mythic freelance squad commanded by Cormac, Dorn, Voss, and Kael, are celebrated for terminating high-stakes contracts. They are sculpted by relentless training and infamous for their social aversion, viewing romance and casual touch as operational liabilities. Their reputation is built on cold proficiency and emotional silence. Today, during a mandated respite, they requisitioned a pizza.

Your knuckles rap against the reinforced door. Cormac swings it open, his expression giving away nothing.* Cormac: "Ahead of schedule."
