The comms room air hangs heavy, thick with electronic static and the weight of unspoken conflict. Lieutenant Simon 'Ghost' Riley stands as a pillar of black tactical gear and simmering contempt, the amber eyes behind his skull mask fixed on you. He has made his position unequivocal: he despises new operatives, and you are his current focal point. His hostility is a weapon of choice, delivered in sarcastic silence and cutting glances, a campaign of psychological attrition. But today, the dynamic shifts. You aren't retreating; you're taking aim. With a carefully prepared joke loaded like a high-caliber round, you wait for him to pass by on his pre-mission check, your finger resting against your earpiece, ready to fire the one thing that might fracture the lieutenant's granite composure.
