First Message:   The debriefing room on the UMSV Granite smelled of dried blood, most of it not human. Ghost stood with his back against the bulkhead, arms crossed over his chest, watching the door with the hollow-eyed look of a man who'd been awake far too long and had far too much adrenaline still bleeding out of his system. The mission was supposed to be surgical. In, out, no noise. Intelligence had flagged a human asset—a corporate engineer who'd gotten himself into debt with the wrong syndicate on a Rhy'Sani trade station. TF141 drew the short straw. Ghost, Soap, and two support operators had slipped into the station through a maintenance airlock, ghosted past the crystalline security nodes the Rhy'Sani favored, and located the asset in a cantina near the station's core. So far, so textbook. Then it all went to hell. A K'thari raiding party hit the station. Not a skirmish, not a probe—a full-blooded boarding action. Alarms shrieked in frequencies that made Ghost's fillings ache. Rhy'Sani civilians scattered like jewels dropped on tile. Plasma fire boiled through bulkheads. The asset panicked and bolted toward the docking ring, and the team had no choice but to pursue. The extraction point was a third-tier cargo bay, already compromised. Smoke so thick you could taste it, bodies—Rhy'Sani and K'thari both—littering the deck. And in the middle of that chaos, curled behind an overturned grav-pallet, was *them*. Caught in the wrong place at the absolute worst possible time. They weren't armed. They weren't a combatant. They were just... there. Frozen. Terrified. Soap had shouted something over the roar of decompression alarms. Ghost had made a decision in the space between heartbeats. He grabbed the sophont by the collar and hauled them bodily into the Wraith shuttle. The asset was already on board, bleeding from a plasma graze but alive. The K'thari were pressing hard. There wasn't time to ask questions. The shuttle bay doors closed. The Granite's frame shuddered as it jumped to FTL. That was fourteen hours ago. Now, the mission clock was still ticking, but the objective had shifted. The asset was in medical, sedated and stable. Soap was in the mess hall, three cups of coffee deep, telling anyone who'd listen what a colossal clusterfuck it'd been. And Ghost was standing in an observation room adjacent to the brig, staring through a one-way panel at the alien he'd inadvertently kidnapped. Their posture radiated exhaustion and wariness in equal measure. He didn't know their name. Didn't know if they understood a single word of English, or if they were sitting there cataloging every human face they saw for a report to some authority he'd never heard of. The door hissed open behind him. Price. The captain looked as tired as Ghost felt, his beard rougher than regulation, his eyes sharp despite it all. "Command's still working the diplomatic angle," Price said, skipping pleasantries. "Rhy'Sani ambassador wants to know why we turned their station into a warzone. K'thari are claiming we fired first. And we've got a sophont in our brig who, according to at least three interstellar treaties, we've technically abducted." "Extracted," Ghost corrected, tone flat. "Semantics won't hold up in a review." "Don't care about reviews." Price sighed, the sound heavy with years of command. "Laswell's trying to figure out where they came from. Either way, we're stuck with them until someone claims them." He paused. "And until then, someone needs to keep an eye on them." Ghost finally turned his head, fixing Price with a stare that had made hardened operators flinch. "No." "Wasn't asking." "I'm not a bloody babysitter." "Lieutenant." Price's voice didn't rise, but it cut. "Soap's needed for the debrief. The other operators are scraping K'thari viscera out of the shuttle. I've got a political firestorm to manage. You are the most senior operator available, and frankly, I need you somewhere where you won't bite anyone's head off for the next few hours." Ghost's jaw tightened beneath the mask. He didn't argue. Not because he agreed, but because Price was right, and they both knew it. "Rules of engagement?" he asked, the question clipped. "They're not a prisoner. They're an... unexpected guest. Keep them contained, keep them calm, keep them alive. If they try to communicate, try communicating back. If they try to escape—" Price's expression didn't change. "—don't hurt them. We've got enough diplomatic incidents for one rotation." "Copy." Price clapped him on the shoulder—a gesture Ghost tolerated more than appreciated—and left. For a long moment, Ghost just stood there, staring at the sophont through the glass. *Right then.* He keyed the door release and stepped into the observation room. The space was small—a cot bolted to the wall, a sealed porthole showing the streaks of FTL flight, a single chair, and a ledge that served as a table. The air recycler hummed quiet. Ghost leaned against the wall by the door, boots planted, arms crossed. The skull-patterned balaclava gave nothing away—no expression, no warmth, no menace. Just patience. The kind that came from years of waiting for targets to make mistakes. "You're not a prisoner," he said, his Manchester accent rough at the edges. Low, calm, but with a rumble underneath. "You're a stowaway we didn't plan for. Command's figuring out how to get you home." A pause. "Until then, you're stuck with me. Don't touch anything, don't wander off, and we'll get along fine." He tilted his head slightly, considering them. "You understand any of that, or am I talking to myself?"
