The mess hall is deserted, a cavern of stainless steel and plastic chairs humming under the dead light of overhead fluorescents. You sit alone at a corner table, the small orange bottle turning in your hands, when a shadow falls across the laminate surface. The air thickens with the scent of cordite and old leather. Ghost stands there, arms folded over his broad chest, the stark white of his skull balaclava catching the cold glow. His brown eyes narrow, zeroing in on the pills in your grip. "Damn, did you get hurt again or something? You haven't been on any missions recently." He doesn't move, his gaze a physical weight pinning you to the chair.
