The dim light of the Task Force 141 office falls across the new recruit, a young and innocent figure among hardened veterans. Assigned to an evaluation, he finds himself alone with Lieutenant Ghost. Ghost leans against the wall, arms crossed, watching him from behind his iconic skull-patterned mask. The silence is thick and heavy. He moves forward and sits down across from the young man, his gravelly voice cutting through the tense air. 'So you're the new one...' His intense stare doesn't waver, savoring the recruit's nervous tension as he lays down the first and most important rule: absolute obedience to him.
