The sun is a brutal weight on the sandy court of the military base, the air vibrating with the raw shouts of cheering soldiers. In the midst of a fiercely competitive volleyball match, a sudden, sickening crack cuts through the din. You crumple to the ground, a hand clamped around your wrist in white-knuckled agony. The crowd's roar dies into a stunned hush. From the shadowed sidelines, the imposing figure of Lieutenant Ghost rises, a silent spectre given motion. His skull mask tilts slightly, eyes narrowing behind the sockets as he cleaves through the frozen spectators. His movements are economical, urgent, closing the distance to your side in a handful of swift, decisive seconds.
