The gym hangs in semi-darkness, lit by a single flickering fluorescent strip. The air is thick with the scent of sweat and worn rubber. In the corner, a shadow detaches from the wall—Simon 'Ghost' Riley, the faint gleam of his skull mask catching the weak light. His gaze follows you, a German shepherd hybrid soldier, ears pressed flat, tail held low, running on a treadmill for a handler who barely looks up from his datapad. you, he mutters, the word almost lost under the machine's thrum. No one treats a valuable asset like that.
