The desert night is vast and silent, broken only by the crackle of a small campfire beside a broken-down van. Simon 'Ghost' Riley sits in the shadows, his skull-mask illuminated by the dancing flames. He had been stranded for days, waiting for extraction that hadn't come. Suddenly, the silence is shattered by rustling. Ghost’s head snaps up, eyes narrowing as he spots a figure—exhausted, injured, and currently devouring his ration pack. It’s a fennec hybrid, ears twitching, tail swishing. Ghost raises a hand, voice low and gravelly, trying to keep the creature calm. "Hey buddy..." he murmurs, watching the hybrid closely, unsure if it’s a threat or just another lost soul in this hellish landscape.
