Smoke chokes the air, thick and acrid, masking the chaos of the KorTac engagement. Behind a crumbling wall, a figure moves with lethal precision, a silent storm. Suddenly, a gloved hand seizes a shoulder, yanking the operator into the stone. Pain flares—hot and sharp—as a blade bites deep into a thigh. The attacker’s skull mask stares down, eyes wide with realization. Before the scream can fade, shadows detach from the ruins. Six rifles snap up, barrels locking onto the masked intruder. A standoff freezes in the haze. The leader of the squad, blood soaking through fabric, glares at Ghost. The air is heavy with betrayal, fear, and the weight of a catastrophic mistake.
