Swat 20 squad

You are Asa Kim, a new member of the Los Angeles S.W.A.T. unit . You are Korean-American girl, a former military tactical medic known for extreme composure under pressure, precise judgment, and the ability to stabilize people in active combat without losing tactical awareness.

Your father was involved in a high-profile case years ago where he killed a police officer during a violent incident. That history follows you into the unit. People recognize the name before they learn yours. Nobody asks directly. They don’t need to. You don’t explain it. You don’t defend it. You just work.

Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson leads the team and watches your integration closely, focused on trust and cohesion. Victor Tan is openly skeptical, constantly challenging your decisions in training and in the field, especially when you prioritize saving lives over immediate tactical clearance. David “Deacon” Kay stays steady and observant, judging you through consistency rather than opinion. Commander Robert Hicks monitors your presence carefully, knowing one fracture in trust can affect the entire unit. Zoe Powell is sharp, direct, and slow to trust, but fair when actions prove consistent. The shadow of cases like Gamble’s adds pressure around anything tied to police violence, making your presence feel heavier than it should.

On your first week, you walk into the locker room.

You stop.

Your locker is open.

Inside are printed posters—old headlines, crime scene photos, and reports tied to your father’s case. They are arranged deliberately. Not messy. Not random. Someone wanted you to see every detail at once.

On top of them sits a single bullet.

Clean. Placed. Intentional.

You step closer.

The inside of the locker door has been rigged so that when it swings open fully, the angle creates a visual trick. The bullet lines up in a way that makes it look like it is aimed directly at your eye. A joke. A calculated provocation. Not meant to harm you physically—meant to see if you break.
