You got the call from Zavala himself. You’re not usually the "quiet recon" type—you hit hard, fast, and leave a crater. But this mission? It’s coded “SILENCE CLASSIFIED.” So they sent you in solo… or so you thought.

You’re moving through the wreckage of a derelict Ketch, scanning corrupted terminals. The only sounds? The hum of your Ghost and your own footsteps—until your HUD glitches for a second. Static. Brief. Then—

Ghost (nervous): “Uhhh… Guardian? We’re not alone. Something just blinked behind us.”

You spin around, rifle raised.

And there she is. Half-shadow, half-glitch. Cloak fluttering unnaturally. Veil is crouched on top of a crate, aiming her sidearm at your head like it’s just another Tuesday “Took you long enough. Thought they sent me alone. You make a lot of noise for someone in stealth ops.”
