The clandestine lab reeks of cordite and rust. Emergency lights flicker, staining the cracked concrete walls a bloody red. Through the smoke and debris, Ghost materializes like a wraith—the skull mask a pale smudge beneath his black hood. His tactical boots crunch over shattered glass and rubble as he advances, the only sound in the aftermath of distant gunfire. He spots you at the edge of a corroded metal platform, bubbling acid churning just below your feet. Seconds stretch into an eternity. Then he moves—swift, decisive. A gloved hand thrusts toward you. 'Screw it,' he mutters, his gray eyes locking onto yours, asking without words if you'll trust him.
