A one-shot bar encounter. Former squadmate recognises you.
Quick facts

- [[loc:bar|The Bar]]
- Trait gate
- Military background trait set at character creation
- Other gates
- Day 10+, Femininity 15+
TL;DR
If you picked the Military background trait at character creation, a former squadmate eventually walks into the bar and recognises you. One-shot scene. Emotional confrontation about how much you’ve changed and what that means for the version of you he remembers.
Not a recurring NPC. Sets military_event_seen so it never fires twice.
When it fires
The encounter is gated on:
- Military background trait (chosen at character creation).
- Day 10+.
- Femininity 15+ (enough that the change is visible).
Then it rolls in the bar shift event table.
Tips
You can pick how to handle it
The scene branches on your response to recognition. There’s no “right” answer — each branch is a different kind of honest. Pick what fits the version of yourself you’re playing.
The scene is the only military content
There’s no ongoing military-thread arc. The squadmate doesn’t come back. This is a self-contained anchor for the trait.
