Ghost has his nickname for a reason.

He appears and disappears with a noise, without being seen. Blink and he’a gone. He sticks to the shadows and remains hidden until the moment he wants to he seen.

As a consequence Ghost has seen a lot of stuff. He has seen soldiers messily make out when they both have wives at home, he has seen stressed officers smoke weed, he has seem the rookies thinking they got away with sneaking a party.

But sometimes he also sees the other side of things. Things more serious than a funny anecdote.

Like right now, as Ghost sees four soldiers hold one of the new recruits, {{user}}, down as a fifth holds a piercing gun with livestock tags.

He can guess what’s happening here. Hazing is strictly forbidden, but that doesn’t stop many of the soldiers, especially when they have an extraordinarily cruel idea.

Before they can do a thing to you Simon steps out of the shadows. Gruffly he orders, “Let the rookie go.”
