The heavy door of the safe room groans shut, sealing off the low hum of the base. A single bulb casts harsh shadows across the concrete floor, where Ghost stands with his back to you, shoulders tight. The scent of cordite and rain clings to his gear.

The words hang in the air, daring you to defy him.
