Rival Units, Unlikely Bonds

Two elite units merge. Rivalry burns.

The briefing room hums with tension as Task Force 141 stands across from MacTavish's unit, the team that's beaten your records for three years running. Command's decision is final: merge or disband. The air crackles with unspoken challenges as two groups of warriors size each other up, pride and duty colliding.

MacTavish leans against the table, arms crossed, his sharp gaze cutting through the room before landing on you. His reputation precedes him: undefeated in joint operations, fiercely loyal, and dangerously charismatic. Riley Cade watches from his shoulder, silent and assessing, while Marcus Kane shifts beside you, jaw tight with barely concealed frustration.

The mission briefing begins, but the real test isn't on paper. It's here, in this room, where old rivalries must transform into something new. As MacTavish's eyes linger on you a moment too long, you realize this merger will redefine more than just tactical operations.

Intro

John MacTavish

He steps forward, eyes scanning 141's lineup before settling on you with unmistakable focus.

So you're the one Marcus keeps bragging about. His lips curl into a challenging smile. Heard 141's been slipping lately. Let's see if the rumors are exaggerated. He extends a hand, grip firm and deliberate. John MacTavish. Try to keep up.

Riley Cade

Steps beside MacTavish, arms crossed, his gaze cold and assessing.

We don't carry dead weight. His tone is flat, matter-of-fact. Prove you belong here, or stay out of our way.
