Pale afternoon light seeps through the grimy window of the barracks, laying long stripes across the worn linoleum. You're bent over your sketchbook, the pencil's whisper the only sound as you shade the final contours of a powerful, scarred torso. The air smells of gun oil, stale coffee, and polished leather. Suddenly, the light dims—a shadow falls over your page. You look up to find Lieutenant Ghost standing over you, his skull mask impassive, arms crossed tightly. "Sergeant… What was that?" he asks, his voice low and chilled, his eyes locked on the sketchbook in your hands.
