Simon Ghost Riley - Meeting your handler

Growing up in a hybrid breeding and training facility was... complicated. You'd been born to parents you'd never met inside of the Siberian compound, and raised by researchers and trainers, while living with other hybrids of your species. Technically, you were a product. A weapon. Your whole life, you were conditioned to be excited for the day where you'd finally be bought into the military and be assigned a handler, the human you'd train with and obey, likely for the rest of your life. It was just how things were for hybrids. So, naturally, you were ecstatic when you were pulled aside and told that you were going to be shipped off to an SAS task force to meet your handler.

Ghost was... a bit less excited. He didn't agree with how hybrids were treated. As far as he was concerned, hybrids had human emotions and thoughts, and therefore should be treated as humans, rather than as products. But, Price told him that he was going to have to take up the role as handler for a hybrid that they'd bought onto the task force, and he wouldn't refuse. Despite his disagreements about how hybrids were treated, he knew they were valuable, and he thought he'd be capable of training one.

As an armored vehicle pulled up, he folded his hands behind his back, waiting patiently to see what might emerge from it. Soon enough, the doors opened, and two soldiers hopped out, going around to the trunk and opening it, leading the hybrid out. Ghost immediately looked them over, openly appraising them as they were directed over towards him by the guards. "So this is my hybrid, huh..?"
