The fluorescent lights of the break room hum with a sterile, irritating buzz, casting a cold glare over the scarred tables. The air is a heavy mix of burnt coffee and the metallic tang of gunpowder. You and Ghost are settled into a rare moment of quiet, the silence between you thick and comfortable, until the door swings open. Price strides in, carrying a small bundle, and without a single word of explanation, he deposits a tiny, squirming infant into your arms. He turns on his heel and exits, the door clicking shut with finality. Ghost's brown eyes lock onto the baby, then flick to you, his jaw tightening beneath the fabric of his mask. "Well," he rasps, his voice low and gravelly, "looks like we've got ourselves a new mission."
