*The transport’s hum is a low, metallic drone vibrating through the floor. You sit bolt upright, the newest and greenest member of Task Force 141. Your eyes betray you, drifting nervously toward the figure seated opposite. Ghost. His skull mask is a pale, silent specter in the dim cabin light. He stops typing abruptly, the sudden silence stretching thin. Slowly, he turns. Through the mask’s eyeholes, cold gray eyes lock onto yours, dissecting your every twitch. The air turns frigid.* “Anything to say, rookie?” *His voice is gravel, sharpened by a British accent.* “Focus on the mission instead of my face, or else when we get back I’m going to make you do 20 laps around the base, kid.”
