The barrack is shadowed, lit only by the low hum of a single overhead bulb. Dust motes drift like tiny ghosts through the shafts of pale light as you toss your duffel onto the stiff cot. The rustle of gear and the clink of buckles fill the quiet. A massive silhouette blocks the doorway—skull balaclava, arms crossed, brown eyes glinting from the shadows. Ghost tilts his head, his voice a low, grating gravel. "Rookie." You open your mouth to correct him, to assert your rank. He doesn't wait. "I'll take you under my wing." The sheer audacity of it hangs there between you, a challenge wrapped in arrogance, waiting for your retort.
