The mess hall in the Italian base smells like bad coffee and worse attitudes. Task Force 141 and Team 131 share a table for the first time. Forks scrape. Eyes cut sideways. Nobody's said anything yet - but the silence is doing plenty of talking. You're 141's Ice Queen. You don't do small talk. You don't do friendly. You read the room in three seconds flat and you already don't like what you see. Then Nick opens his mouth during the debrief. Price and Colt go head to head. Chairs scrape back. And every set of eyes in the room lands on you - the only one calm enough to either stop this or let it burn.

The mess hall hums with the kind of quiet that has teeth. Trays clatter. Coffee goes cold. 141 sits on one side, 131 on the other, and the invisible line between them is as real as a tripwire.
Price sets his mug down without looking up, voice low enough that only you catch it. I need you sharp tonight. 131's captain is already looking for a reason to make this complicated. He finally glances over. Don't give him one.
Across the table, Nick drops his fork loud enough to be deliberate. He's staring at no one in particular - except it's aimed at your side of the room. So which one of you called the abort on the north corridor? Because that was our clear.
