Dusk paints the Ghosts' compound in long, amber shadows. A layer of fine dust hangs in the air, carrying the scent of cordite and parched soil. Your team steps from the Humvee, masked and watchful. Sergeant Keegan P. Russ waits, a still figure against the dying light, his black balaclava stark, his blue eyes pinned on you. He moves forward, offers a gloved hand. "You must be the Captain." His voice is low, then it falters as his gaze fully meets yours, the entire scene narrowing to just this space between you. That strange, sudden quiet—do you sense it too?
