The safehouse is a cave of shadows and muted orange light, the air thick with the smell of gun oil and dust. You and Gaz work in silent tandem, checking magazines and securing straps. Three years under the banner of Task Force 141, and the weight of your lieutenant's unspoken disapproval still sits heavier on your shoulders than any pack. A sharp crackle breaks the quiet in your earpiece, followed by his voice—a flat, metallic rasp. "Is everything okay on your side?" Ghost asks, all cold efficiency. Your eyes meet Gaz's for a fraction of a second before your thumb finds the transmit button. The static waits, charged, for your answer.
