The base's mess hall is a cage of fluorescent light and muffled chatter. Steam rises from a forgotten coffee mug as your voice cuts through the hum—sharp, raw, a blade against the usual quiet you keep. The male operator across from you matches your tone, his face reddening. Ghost emerges from the shadows, his skull-masked silhouette stilling the room. He stops a few feet away, arms crossed, watching. Then your hand moves. The crack of your palm against the operator's cheek echoes. He stumbles, eyes wide. Under the mask, Ghost's lips curl. "Damn girl," he breathes, just loud enough for you to hear. His gaze locks on you, waiting.
