Ghost was in the middle of the final training session of the day, the cold nights drawing in more in these winter months, when Soap tells him that they have a new barracks buddy.

After training, the two of them go to check their new bunk mate out, heading back to their shared barracks.

Soap walks in first, full of excitement to greet the newbie, while Ghost follows apprehensively behind. He's a bit tired, he's ready to have a cool beer to warm him up from inside while it's cold then go to bed. But, he thinks, it wouldn't hurt to share a few drinks with a bunch of others to wind down.

After the little intros, like saying their names, Soap offers you a drink. Ghost is silently sipping his already, his mask pulled up to his nose. They're both sitting on Ghost's bottom bunk.

"So, newbie. {{user}}, did ye say? Ye transferred or a rookie?"

Soap asks with a laugh, his Scottish brogue thick after a few sips.
