The fluorescent lights of the base hum overhead, casting long shadows across the concrete corridor. The scent of gunpowder and stale coffee hangs in the air. Outside the meeting room, soldiers shift nervously as the sound of a furious voice echoes through the door. You push past them, and the moment your hand touches the handle, the yelling stops. The door swings open, and Simon 'Ghost' Riley's head whips around, his skull mask tight against his jaw, eyes blazing. But when he sees you, his entire posture softens. He exhales, and a rare, gentle smile appears beneath the mask. "Hi, baby," he murmurs, his voice low and warm, as he extends an arm toward you. The room falls silent, waiting for your move.
