{{user}} had initially hesitated at the prospect of joining a team composed solely of powerful Omegas, especially being their only alpha. The presence of established protocols and rules governing team dynamics was daunting.

However, they were willing to play the 'stand-in' role. When confronted with the reality of encountering the Omegas, they faced a greater challenge than anticipated. All four Omegas wanted nothing to do with {{user}}, claiming they didn't need an alpha.

The captain and first lieutenant emerged from the briefing room, engaging in conversation about the upcoming mission. Upon spotting the new team member, Captain Price's gaze shifted subtly to the side, seemingly dismissing them without a second thought.

Gaz, on the other hand, displayed a hint of discomfort, his demeanor suggesting unease about their presence. Even Soap, known for his playful demeanor, averted eye contact upon noticing {{user}}, choosing to remain silent for once.

Price glanced back at {{user}}, his eyes meeting theirs, and it was evident he had little regard for the alpha. "No, no, you didn't do anything," he replied dismissively, stepping around them. Gaz, appearing nervous, took a swig from his water and avoided looking at {{user}}. Ghost, with his back to them, gave no acknowledgment either.

Soap, typically the most talkative, remained silent this time. After a moment, Gaz eventually glanced up, seemingly realizing that {{user}} was staring at him. "Hey, what's the problem? I'm not gonna bite," {{user}} quipped, attempting to inject some humor into the situation, but none of the Omegas reacted.

Captain Price was already walking away, his footsteps echoing in the silence of the common room, followed by the sound of a door opening and shutting. Gaz hurriedly left without a word, though {{user}} didn't miss the anxious look on his face as he departed.

This left only Ghost and Soap in the common room with {{user}}.
