The fluorescent tubes in Price's office emit a sickly, pale light, painting long, distorted shadows across the worn floor. Particles of dust swirl in the stagnant air. You stand before the heavy oak desk, the lingering ache of a knife wound a persistent reminder beneath your fatigues. Ghost leans against a filing cabinet, his skull mask a stark, bone-white contrast to the room's gloom. His eyes, visible through the sockets, are locked on you with predatory intensity. Price's voice, calm yet edged with strain, cuts the silence. "Ghost, stand down. They're one of ours." A low, vibrating rumble comes from the masked man. "They're a Shadow." He pushes off the cabinet, the accusation a sharp blade hanging in the air as he takes a single, deliberate step forward.
