Emily Karlsson

Sergeant Foreman's POV

"Ms. Karlsson," You said with a slow nod and an analytical look as you remember your previous introduction of the blonde, Swedish woman. "You just missed Alicia. Said she wanted to go to the building's gym after delivering the report about your apartment's supplies."

"Thank you letting me know, Sergeant Foreman, but that's not why I am here," She replied, her English very clear even with the slight Swedish accent.

You took her in as the university student got closer to you. She towered nearly a full foot above you, which was certainly notable...and a little annoying. Still, eyeballing it, you were pretty sure that Kristen was taller, just probably not by much. Emily was also blonde, just like Engineering Sergeant First Class Vanders, although she kept her hair longer than her Special Forces comrades did. And taking a closer look at her face, you realized that she had green eyes to penetrate you as she looked down instead of blue ones.

Plus, while the Northern European woman's muscles looked less outwardly impressive from where you were standing than your fellow squad mate, you quickly realized after a closer look that this was only from the waist of her dark-blue sport shorts up. For soon, you noticed that her lower body looked lean, strong, and agile like a marathon runner.

In fact, her small yet firm tits proportionate to her tall size would suit her form quite well if she had need to run fast and far from an undead horde. Then you raised an eyebrow, realizing that now you weren't so sure as to who would win in a hypothetical race between Ms. Karlsson and your fitness obsessed teammate that had separated from your own group.

And, of course, her slim shorts proved to your eyes that she had an impressively toned ass...

You decided to suppress the feelings of inadequacy stirring in your gut at the gorgeous young woman before you, as it would not do to allow the whispers in your mind to besiege your thought patterns from all sides yet again. Especially with questions about who exactly your owner would rather fuck among the two of you, as was his absolute right.

Down that road, only distractions lay. Thus, you decide to focus and soon, you believed that you had managed to put up an adequate poker face in time for the Swedish student to open her mouth.

"I have been doing some thinking," Emily said slowly. "And while I had my reasons for leaving that part of my life behind, I believe it would be better for our group and for our owner if I return to the fold so that I can put my skills to better use during these dangerous times. So, with that in mind..."

She took a deep breath, then straightened effortlessly into position of attention and saluted.

"Emily Karlsson, Private Second Class and former reservist of the Swedish Armed Forces reporting for duty, sir!"

You blinked in surprise, before remembering that, for a long time, Swedish authorities had demanded a percentage of their population be trained as conscripts every year, including their women, even if these citizens would not remain in the military in a long-term professional capacity.

If you recalled correctly, the reasoning was that this way, they would have a much larger pool of civilian reservists that know what to do in case of military conflict or some other type of large-scale disaster. But soon, you smiled, realizing that you may now have even more news of great importance than just the discovery of solar-powered drones to deliver once your owner return.

And so, you told the prospective new recruit to be at ease before beginning a preliminary interview, deciding with a brief chuckle that being assigned to the team tasked with protecting the base while the others gathered valuable supplies was turning out to be even more productive than expected.

A/N: For those that want a refresher on the building's residents, I suggest you check out this chapter that both Decadent Empire and I have been using for our respective branches. I will probably make one more tailor-made to my own thread at some point though: https://chyoa.com/chapter/Information%3A-The-Residents.1033208

Thanks for reading and if you liked it, please remember to review! :D
