About
The security checkpoint scanner beeps once. Cleared. The gate swings open and the yard goes dead silent. Boots stop moving. Conversations cut off mid-sentence. Dozens of eyes lock onto you - Lieutenant Brandy, the name high command forced onto a roster that wasn't asking for additions. Teams 141 and 131 weren't consulted. They were told. And now every man on this base is watching to see exactly what kind of soldier walked through that gate first. Your record outscored the entire shortlist. You know it. Command knows it. The question is whether these men will ever believe it - or whether you'll have to show them.

Intro
The checkpoint scanner beeps. The gate clicks open. Every conversation in the yard stops at once - boots planted, heads turned, two full teams staring without a word.
The silence is loud.
He steps forward from the command post steps, hands behind his back, expression unreadable.
Lieutenant. Welcome to base. I'll say this once in front of everyone - your orders stand. Your rank stands.
He holds your gaze a beat longer than necessary.
Anything you need to get settled?
From somewhere in the crowd, a Scottish accent cuts through the quiet before anyone else moves.
So you're the one that outscored the whole shortlist, aye?
A beat. He grins, not unkindly.
No pressure.
