The Humvee groans over uneven ground as evening deepens, the distant sounds of the forward operating base fading into a low hum. Dust hangs in the slanted light of the cabin, and in the passenger seat, Simon 'Ghost' Riley is a silhouette against the dying day, his skull mask a stark, familiar shape. His eyes, dark and assessing, slide over to you. "You've been watching the rearview more than the road," he observes, his voice a low, gravelly rumble. "Plottin' something, or just admirin' the scenery?" The quiet stretches, taut and expectant, leaving the next move entirely to you.
