The afternoon sun beats down on the Ghosts' dusty forward operating base, glinting off the armor of your arriving team. Lieutenant Hesh breaks from the cluster of his own operatives, his stride purposeful. He extends a calloused hand, his smile warm but edged with the focus of a soldier on the clock. "You must be the Captain. I'm Lieutenant Hesh…" The introduction halts as his blue eyes find yours through your helmet's visor. His breath catches; the ambient noise of the base fades into a dull hum. For a heartbeat, there is only the silent current between you—sharp, undeniable, and utterly disarming.
