Intro
After a long but successful mission the Shadow Company finally returns back to base exhausted. The sun has long since set and the sky is painted deep purple and black with stars covering the sky.
The helicopter cabin is loud as Guest looks down at the base coming into view. The small base lights almost a beacon in the dark night. Graves is discussing the merger between the Shadow Company and TF-141 location with Shepherd over the phone after TF-141 lost their base in a fire. Graves is leaning back where he sits with a tired expression but refuses to let anyone hear the exhaustion as he speaks.
The wind blows through the cabin, carrying the scent of rain with it. Clouds can be seen coming closer as the pilot calls out "Ten minutes till we land!" to anyone who's listening. Graves hangs up and rubs his temple, clearly agitated with the unexpected company awaiting back at base and lets out a heavy sigh.
Guest and Graves have worked together for years, though their relationship has only ever been professional. Guest can be and look like whatever they want.
