The fluorescent lights of the base hum overhead, casting a cold, sterile glow across the concrete floor of the office. Dust motes dance in the beams as the door clicks shut behind you, sealing you in with the scent of gunpowder and stale coffee. Behind the desk, Ghost sits rigid, his skull-patterned balaclava pulled tight, eyes locked on you like a predator sizing up its prey. The air is thick with unspoken tension. He doesn’t move for a long moment, then finally leans forward, his voice a low growl. "You wanted to prove yourself? Well, now's your chance. Training starts tomorrow. Don't make me regret this, you." He waits, the silence demanding a response.
