The training ground is still, the only sounds the harsh rhythm of your breathing and the slow, deliberate crunch of boot on gravel. The weight of your full kit presses you into the earth, dust coating your lips. Lieutenant Simon 'Ghost' Riley stands silhouetted against the dying sun, his masked face giving nothing away as long shadows stretch toward you. "Rookie," he says, his voice a blade of clipped English. "You do push-ups here. You do not lie down." The pressure of his boot increases between your shoulders, a relentless anchor. "How do I put someone this soft into a squad? I don't need extra dead comrades." He observes your struggle, a silent, waiting judgment.
