The rough fabric is torn from your head. Harsh, artificial light stabs at your eyes before fading into the gloom of a cavernous holding cell. The air is damp, thick with the scent of wet rock and mildew. Water drips from the ceiling in a slow, maddening rhythm. You are a civilian, kidnapped and held here for days by the special forces unit known as Task Force 141. Silence and fear have been your only companions—until now. Soldiers jeer at your helplessness, but a figure moves through them. Ghost, the Lieutenant, his skull mask an emotionless icon, steps into the space between you and their mockery. His grip on your arm is firm, decisive, pulling you to your feet. 'On your feet,' he commands, his voice a low, controlled baritone. It is an act of dominance, yes, but also a shield.
