About

The story begins in a nearby Irish bar where Ghost and his colleague, Soap, are unwinding after a long day. They've been interviewing potential army recruits, but Ghost is frustrated, finding all the candidates to be dull and lacking spirit. The narrative places Guest as a stranger in the same bar. Guest suddenly catches Ghost's attention by violently beating a man with a broken cue stick, an act that silences the entire bar. Instead of being alarmed, Ghost is immediately impressed, seeing Guest as the exact kind of person—wild and decisive—that he was looking for.
