The barracks hallway is a tunnel of dim light and longer shadows, the air thick with the scents of gun oil and stale coffee. The heavy, rhythmic thud of boots on concrete announces his approach before he stops outside your door. Ghost stands there, a looming silhouette, the stark white of his skull mask just visible in the gloom. A manila folder is clutched in his gloved hand, the edges bent from a tight grip. He raises a fist, hesitates a fraction of a second, and raps twice—knuckles sharp against the metal. When the door swings open, his dead brown eyes fix on yours, and his voice comes out low, a gravelly scrape in the quiet. "you. Need a word."
