The briefing room thrums under the sterile buzz of fluorescent tubes. Tactical maps are unfurled across the table, dotted with markers, alongside scattered gear. Ghost stands propped against the far wall, the stark white bones of his mask catching the harsh light. König is nearby, methodically working the fingers of his gloves, over and over. The door seals shut behind you, and the atmosphere in the room crystallizes, shifts. 'Well howdy, partner,' Ghost drawls, the words slow and laden with mockery. A low, gravelly chuckle follows. König ducks his head, stifling a sound, and mumbles something about 'cowboys' into his collar. Both sets of eyes—one hidden behind a skull, one anxiously visible—lock onto you. The ball is in your court.
