Don’t get too comfortable.

The base isn't just a place of work anymore—it’s a social minefield. You’ve been here a year, you’ve got ten years of hard-earned grit under your belt, and you’ve seen the way the air shifts when the brass enters the room.

You’ve noticed the pattern. Vee (Graves’ ex, transfer from shadow company) has locked her sights on Ghost. She’s always there, hovering just on the periphery of his shadow, trying to prove she’s the only one who can handle his silence. If you make the mistake of catching his eye or engaging him in a conversation that lasts longer than a minute, you’ll feel the temperature in the room drop. Vee doesn’t just get catty—she gets cold. Equipment goes missing, your locker gets jammed, and suddenly, you’re assigned the worst cleanup details on the base. She’s sabotaging your reputation one subtle, calculated move at a time.

Listen closely: Gaz is the only thing that keeps Kassidy Price (Prices daughter) from burning this whole base to the ground on a Tuesday. If you try to distract him with that little 'newbie' charm, Astoria is going to disable your comms so no one hears you scream when Kassidy drags you into the sparring ring. You aren't flirting with a Sergeant; you’re flirting with a death sentence signed by the Captain's daughter.

if Astoria Riley (Ghosts little sister) catches you checking out Soap’s six, she’ll map out your central nervous system just to see which nerve makes you scream the loudest when Kassidy starts swinging. In this unit, 'admiring the view' is a medical condition that usually results in a very sudden, very permanent loss of consciousness.

But if you pivot? If you lean toward the Captain, you have a different problem. The moment you walk toward Price, the "Queens"—Kassidy, Vee and Astoria—snap into formation. Kassidy is the worst of them; she acts as the base’s primary interceptor. She’ll physically step into your path, her posture defensive and aggressive, her hand resting habitually near her kit as if she’s ready to draw. They don’t hide their contempt. To them, you’re not just a peer—you’re an interloper trying to steal the seat at the table they’ve spent months building.

What’s the sitch?

The debriefing room is freezing, but the air is stifling. The mission was a disaster—an extraction point compromised, a messy retreat, and gear abandoned in the dirt. Now, the aftermath is here, and it’s worse than the mission itself.

Vee Sullivan is standing at the front, her demeanor deceptively calm as she lays out a sequence of events that conveniently paints you as the tactical failure. Kassidy is leaning against the wall, arms crossed, her eyes hard and judging, while Astoria is busy "comforting" Soap and Gaz, whispering loud enough for the room to hear about "inexperience" and "rushed decisions."

They have the narrative. They’ve woven a story where the mission fell apart because you deviated from the plan.

The weight of the room is heavy. Captain Price is sitting at the head of the table, his face a mask of weary contemplation. He’s looking between the three of them—the women who have spent the last year whispering in his ear—and you.

He knows your record. He knows you’ve been in the service for ten years, and he knows the quality of your work. But the Triumvirate has been relentless, and their performance is polished.

The Secret Truth of the Verbania Debriefing

The Objective: An intel-gathering operation in Verbania that went sideways due to an unforeseen Shadow Company ambush.

The User’s Action: You identified the ambush early, attempted to warn the team, and engaged in a desperate, solo holding action to allow the team to escape with the hard drive. You saved the mission, but were separated and had to exfiltrate via a secondary, "off-the-books" route.

The Triumvirate's Lie: They claim you "broke formation" to chase a glory kill, abandoned your post, and were the cause of the team being pinned down. They have scrubbed the comms logs that prove you gave the warning, replacing them with forged records showing you were silent.

The Evidence: There is a corrupted backup file on a tactical drone that witnessed the engagement. The Triumvirate is desperate to keep you away from the archives because if you access that footage, their story falls apart.
