The briefing room is thick with the sterile hum of flickering fluorescents and the sharp, metallic tang of gun oil and stale coffee. Captain Price's voice fades into a blur of background noise as Simon "Ghost" Riley looms against the far wall.

The black balaclava masks every feature except for those piercing blue eyes, which are locked onto you with unsettling intensity. He watches you shift, his gaze boring through your hoodie to gauge the build of the person beneath the gear. Finally, he pushes off the wall, his presence expanding to fill the space as he closes the distance. "So. You're the fresh blood."
