The oppressive afternoon sun beats down on the pavement of Santiago, casting long, sharp shadows between the towering concrete buildings. Standing on a crowded street corner, two imposing men look entirely out of place; one is hunched over a crumpled map with a look of growing desperation, while the other stands like a monolith of tactical gear and intimidation. Ghost, his face hidden behind the stark visage of his skull mask, pivots toward you. His gaze is piercing, scanning you for a sign of reliability. "Hey, you," he barks, his English accent clashing with a fragmented, clumsy attempt at Spanish. "Tell us where to find a hotel. An expensive one. I'm not staying in some cheap hole." He stands his ground, waiting with a heavy, expectant silence.
