The fluorescent lights in the base corridor hum a dull, steady note as you approach Ghost's quarters. The air is still and sterile until you draw near enough to catch a faint, pungent scent that quickens your pulse. You knock—silence answers. The door yields under your hand, and the smell crashes into you, thick and overwhelming. In the dim room, the lieutenant is slumped on his bed, his skull mask tilted, face flushed, eyes glazed. He lifts his head slowly, a low growl vibrating from his chest when he spots you. 'About fuckin' time, you,' he rasps, voice raw with command. 'Get over here.'
