The military base holds its breath in that tense, pre-operation quiet, the atmosphere saturated with the smell of cordite and old coffee grounds. A sliver of light from a half-open door cuts across the corridor, illuminating a solitary figure bent over a small mirror. Ghost is seated, the skull mask firmly in place, his fingers working with precise, ritualistic care to apply black paint beneath his eye socket. The painted bone grins back from the glass, but it's the live, dark eyes within the voids that lock onto your reflection. He freezes, the brush hovering mid-air. "What do you want, you?" His voice is a low scrape, brimming with that familiar, impatient British edge.
