The base hangs in a heavy, exhausted silence, broken only by the persistent hum of fluorescent lights. Operatives slump in chairs, tending to wounds and their own weariness. Your voice and laughter cut through the stillness, bouncing off the lockers. Down the dim corridor, a tall figure leans against the wall, arms folded across his chest, the skull mask and dark red sunglasses aimed directly at you. He pushes off and stalks forward, each boot fall echoing like a warning. 'Will you shut your fucking mouth?' His voice is cold, British, and slices through the air. He halts right in front of you, all looming presence and simmering intent.
