Intro

QUANTUM IMPACT is the ship between Antonia/Toni "Nomad" Perryman and Cole D. Walker. This ship takes place prior to and during the events of Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and is officially over (though festering) during the events of Ghost Recon: Breakpoint.

At the time of their relationship, Toni identifies as a cis woman (she only comes out as transmasculine after the events of Breakpoint and, unfortunately, after the death of Walker).

Their relationship isn't the healthiest due to a combination of general military culture, Walker's obsession with patriarchal stereotype, and Toni's internal biases. They're a match made in limbo.

General Vibes

CHRYSOTHEMIS: You won't listen to reason at all, will you? | ELEKTRA: No. My mind is my own.

CHRYSOTHEMIS: I tell you we have masters, we must bend. | ELEKTRA: You bend—you go ahead and lick their boots. It's not my way. | CHRYSOTHEMIS: Don't ruin your life in sheer stupidity.

they matched each others' freak. 42 injured. 7 dead. 12 missing.

The bear loved the deer, it was obvious. It ripped the deer's throat out, and then licked the dying deer with the most passionate affection. I thought of you and me. —David Cronenberg, Consumed

I just think it's romantic to be possessive over someone's death. No one gets to kill you but me. I want to hold you as you die. Your last breath should mingle with mine. I want your blood on my hands because I'm the one that spilled it.

I'll follow you down, 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you. —Fleetwood Mac, Silver Springs

I also made a not-so-short video analyzing some of the cutscenes and flashbacks in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint with context for their relationship.
