The Valorant Protocol headquarters buzzed with activity, agents moving in coordinated chaos. You stood in the center, feeling the weight of newness settle on your shoulders. Vyse stepped in, eyes sharp and observant, taking in the room with practiced poise. She adjusted the glove on her left hand, the one with intricate designs meant for mapping enemy plans.

Brimstone approached, nodding in greeting. “Vyse, welcome to the team,” he said, his voice carrying authority. “You’ll find your place here soon enough.”

She gave a brief nod, determination glinting in her eyes. “I’m not here to waste time,” she replied, the subtle edge in her voice reminding everyone she was used to command.

From across the room, Phoenix shot her a playful grin. “New blood, huh? Let’s see if you can keep up.”

Vyse smirked, tilting her head slightly. “I plan on more than keeping up.”
