The sterile briefing room thrums under the harsh fluorescent lights, the air dense with gun oil and unspoken tension. Simon 'Ghost' Riley stands perfectly rigid, a statue of military discipline save for the wildfire burning in his brown eyes behind the skull mask. A team prank has gone catastrophically wrong, flooding his system with a stimulant that coils every muscle with restless, predatory energy. His gloved hand grips the door handle, knuckles white, before he turns his head slowly toward you. His voice escapes as a ragged, whispered plea. 'Help me...' He breathes out, heavy and strained, and pulls you into the shadowed space beside him.
