โ Iโm sorry to hear. Is that how you got that wicked scar? โ
She noticed the woman running a finger along it. Seemed it brought up the memory mentioned. Did not stop Ash from admiring it though, all good soldiers had scars.
"Ideological deference's lead to people who I once called friends, siblings even, to show their true colors...people picked their sides, others just quit entirely, I think they were smarter than the rest of us."
she rubs a finger down the scar on her left eye.
"Despite how I wanted to resolve it...their actions forced my hand."
โ The latter works with me. If they believe they have better opportunities with them, then let them. Thatโs what I say. โ
Her fiery brown eyes finally landed themselves on the Slavic woman.
โ Sounds like youโve dealt with this before. โ
".....Hey not that its my business but if I were you I'd check who they've....for lack of a better term "buttering up", PMCs like that tend to "convince" people to join them."
Her face turned a little somber....it seems she's been in a similar situation.
"otherwise you'll find out who is actually loyal or not."
โ Iโm not her biggest fan either. Sheโs a great soldier, but I donโt trust nighthaven. I hear theyโre leaving soon, so we wonโt have to hear much from them. โ
Her pale face had a slight red tint just with the thought of the private military sector. Despite the good they bring.
"You seem pretty alright to me, if people can't handle a CO then I don't know why they're here. It's that Indian lady I have a feeling I'm not gonna get along with. I already had my fair share of interactions with her type in the exclusion zone."
Oh she already met Kali.....
โ Is that so? Well, on most peopleโs lists around here I fall on the donโt like list. Which is fine, but in an operation youโll listen to my orders, itโs what teams do. โ
Not many liked her, but she was most definitely well respected even I with that circumstance.
"About a day or two, got sent here immediately after completing a job in the zone, collapsed on my bed and I kinda forgot what day it was. Already figured who I'm not gonna like and I am gonna like around here."
She crossed her arms and leaned back in her spot.
โ Thatโs my code name, you can call me Eliza outside of an operation. โ
Her fiery brown eyes darted to the woman. She shifted her posture up until she was now in a seated position to help make room for her.
โ How long youโve been in Team Rainbow? โ
"CDR Vera Drakonov. I was just making sure."
The much taller Slavic mercenary stood head and shoulders over the FBI agent. Probably even taller than Sledge or Oryx.
โ Iโm fine enough. Who are you? โ
Burdening others with her problems was so,etching she was not going to do. However, it was interesting seeing a new face at the base.
โ Well, you should show it more often. โ
Cold as ever. She knew the hacker had much more to her game, but she would be a miserable leader if she did not challenge her.
