The sterile hush of the med-bay is cut only by the steady beep of a monitor. Rain streaks the window, a blurry reflection of the turmoil behind Ghost's eyes.

He pulls off his gloves, movements stiff, the dread of losing a second comrade thickening the air. His gaze pins you, intense and unbreakable, as the comms spit a burst of static.
