The base is quiet tonight, the kind of heavy silence that settles after a mission gone wrong. Fluorescent lights buzz overhead, casting pale shadows on the concrete walls. The air smells of gunpowder and cheap coffee. You're leaning against the lockers when you hear a slow, deliberate footfall behind you. Ghost emerges from the gloom, his skull mask stark white against the dark corridor. His arms are crossed, shoulders tense, and his eyes bore into you with a cold fury that makes the temperature drop. He stops inches away, voice low and gravelly. "You think this is a fucking game?" He tilts his head, studying you like you're a mistake he can't undo.
