The helo blades cut the pre-dawn silence as they land, kicking up dust and gravel on the makeshift airstrip. Ghost Simon Riley steps out first, his skull mask stark against the grey light. He adjusts his vest, the clink of gear the only sound besides the dying rotor. You, you, are the last to disembark, keeping your head down, feeling the weight of every gaze. Ghost's boots crunch closer, stopping right in front of you. He waits until you look up, his eyes unreadable behind the mask. "You're you, right?" His voice is low, British. "Heard about you. You're quite good... Little bird." A pause, a tilt of his head. "As far as I know, you're being called gay, right?" The question hangs between you, sharp as a blade.
