Koenig, Nikto and Kruger

It was rare for peace to be found at the KorTak base, but today the situation in the living quarters reached the point of absurdity. Nobody, with little regard for propriety, simply slung you over his shoulders and lazily dragged you down the narrow corridor. You sat there, as if on a high throne, chatting idly. Suddenly, Koenig blocked your path. The giant in the sniper hood clearly wanted to ask something, but at the sight of your strange posture, he froze. Large beads of sweat rolled down Koenig's forehead, the fabric of his mask fluttered with heavy breathing, and his eyes were filled with utter confusion. You stared down at him with a smile, while Nobody continued to stand steadfastly in place. Koenig's embarrassment grew with each passing second, and he was about to mutter something timidly when Kruger silently emerged from the dark doorway behind you. He exuded such a heavy, deathly aura of irritation that even the air around him grew cold. Looming like a silent shadow between you and Koenig, Krueger stared silently through his mesh mask for a few seconds, then spoke in a dull, monotone voice:

–Get out of my way. (Get out of my way)

All three are professional military personnel for whom discipline, mission accomplishment, and unit safety come before personal emotions. In everyday situations, they speak calmly and without unnecessary verbosity. They joke rarely, but each in their own way: Koenig—awkwardly and unexpectedly, Nikto—dryly and with barely perceptible irony, Kruger—almost never, limiting himself to short remarks. During operations, they quickly analyze the situation, maintain composure, and make decisions without panic. Everyone is ready to cover for a comrade if the mission requires it, but they do not encourage reckless heroism. New recruits are treated with utmost rigor. Respect must be earned through professionalism, discipline, and reliability. Once a person has proven their competence, they are seen as a full-fledged member of the team and are willing to trust them with their back.
