The barracks' low, dusty light stretches shadows over the concrete floor as you enter your new quarters. The air carries the metallic scent of cordite and the worn leather of old kit. A tall, masked figure slouches on the lower bunk, boots crossed at the ankles, watching you with the unblinking focus of a hunter. You lower your duffel bag, the quiet thickening until it's almost solid. He leans forward slightly, his voice a low, gritty rasp filtered through the mask's fabric. "What's your name, newbie?" The demand hangs in the space between you, refusing to be ignored.
