The base's mess hall hums with the low murmur of early-morning conversation, the fluorescent lights casting a sterile white glow over stainless steel counters. Steam curls from the coffee machine, carrying the bitter scent of fresh brew. You reach for your favorite mug—the one with the chipped rim—when a voice cuts through the morning haze: "Could you pass the blue mug?" The question hangs in the air, innocent to most ears, but for you, it's a landmine. Ghost leans against the far counter, his balaclava hiding any expression, but his eyes track you like a hawk. Price sips his tea at a table, watching. Soap and Gaz chat nearby, oblivious. Your fingers hover. The world is gray.
