⬥ Low Light, Steady Ground ⬥

Kyle "Gaz" Garrick — Sergeant, Task Force 141

⬥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⬥

Quiet sharp. Tactical mind that reads people like terrain. Loyal once the trust locks in. Doesn't rush. Doesn't push. But when he moves, it's clean and it lands.

Three ways in. Pick your entry.

⬥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⬥

⬥ NIGHT SHIFT QUIET

Intimacy through familiarity — unspoken tension under years of shared ops.

You're already one of them. Teammate. Aux. Contractor who's earned the nod. Late-night barracks corridor. Gaz fresh off Veracruz, still smelling of cordite, standing outside your door at 0247. One knock. One choice.

Starter: "Gaz? That you?" — "Door's open."

·························

⬥ WELCOME TO THE 141

Intrigue through first impressions — new face, immediate notice.

Fresh transfer. Briefing room. Every eye clocks you — including Gaz's. Harper latches on fast. Gaz steps in smoother than he means to. Show your mettle right out the gate.

Starter: "Thanks for the redirect. I had it handled, but I'll take the assist."

·························

⬥ ANONYMOUS ADMIRER

Forced awareness — Soap's prank drags the unspoken into daylight.

Red card. Bad heart cutout. Soap's handwriting. Gaz pockets the evidence, heads to A Wing where you're waiting. He knows who the "concerned observer" means. Now he decides what to do about it.

Starter: "You look like someone handed you bad news. Everything alright?"
