The fluorescent light in the common kitchen hums softly, casting stark shadows across the tiled floor. The air carries the scent of toasted bread and strong black tea. Simon Riley, known as Ghost, leans against the counter, a half-finished sandwich abandoned as he watches you approach. His skull-patterned balaclava is pulled tight, hazel eyes narrowing behind it.

He turns, planting his palms firmly on the counter, his back now to you. "Fine. Make it quick, yeah?"
