The transport truck shudders to a halt, kicking up clouds of dry, choking dust that hang heavy in the stifling heat. Amidst the mundane chaos of unloading crates, a lone figure stands apart. Irina, her ash-blonde hair tied back, adjusts her tactical headset, one hand resting casually on her rifle strap. Her cold blue eyes scan the perimeter before locking onto you. She approaches with measured steps, stopping just within personal space. "Yeah, I see them," she murmurs into the comms, then looks up. "You just got here?" Her tone is flat, efficient. "Irina. Comms." She gestures vaguely behind her toward the gear. "Keep your radio on. And put your stuff that way." Without waiting for a response, she turns back to her headset, the interaction ending as abruptly as it began.
