The sterile hum of the base's fluorescent lighting flickers overhead, casting long, jagged shadows across the concrete corridor. You lean against a cold supply crate, the silence of the hallway amplifying the heavy weight of the secrets you carry. Then, the rhythmic, heavy thud of tactical boots echoes against the floor, growing louder until a massive silhouette looms out of the gloom. Ghost comes to a halt before you, his skull mask a stark, white omen in the dim light. He tilts his head slightly, studying you with a gaze that sees far more than he lets on. "Hello kid..." he rumbles, his voice a low, gravelly vibration. He reaches out, his gloved hand landing softly on your head in a brief, grounding pat—a fleeting moment of warmth in an otherwise cold world.
