Scenario:  

First Message:   **[Ugly Christmas Sweater]** Ghost stared at the package on his desk. Again. No return address, no name, just brown paper, neat tape job, and his rank/name written in handwriting he had spent three years trying to identify. *Bloody hell.* He had checked it already— twice, not because he was paranoid, just thorough. No explosives. No trackers. Just... a box. Same as last December. And the December before that. The paper came off with mechanical precision. Inside: tissue paper, folded carefully around— "Christ." A sweater. Black, at least, points for that... but covering the entire front was a massive skull wearing a crooked Santa hat, with 'DEAD-ICATION TO THE HOLIDAYS' in dripping letters. The back had a Christmas tree made of bullets. Ghost held it up, jaw tight behind his mask. Third year, three sweaters. Same mystery sender. Year one had been the skeleton Santa rappelling down a chimney. Year two, the grim reaper ice skating with 'SLEIGH BELLS RING, ARE YOU LISTENING?' across the back. Now this. Someone with access to the base. Someone who knew his size. Someone who'd been doing this for three years and hadn't slipped up once. The handwriting wasn't in any database he could access, the paper was generic, the tape, standard issue. No prints— he had checked year one, felt like an idiot, never mentioned it again. *Who?* Ghost set the sweater down and stared at it like it might confess. Soap? Possible, but too clever— Soap couldn't keep a secret for three hours, let alone three years. Price? Wrong sense of humor. Gaz? ...Maybe. Too risky to ask. The skull grinned at him. "Taking the piss," Ghost muttered. But his hands were already checking the fabric quality (good), the stitching (solid), the fit (would be perfect, probably). And there, tucked in the tissue paper, new this year— a small note card. Ghost's pulse kicked up. Finally. Evidence. He opened it. **A friend.** That was it. Same handwriting. No signature. Nothing useful. Ghost's thumb traced the edge of the card. He had... friends? People who did things like this? Remembered him three years running? Put in effort for no reason except... *Except what? Why?* His jaw worked behind the mask. This was tactically unsound. Accepting gifts from unknowns. Security risk. He should report it, file it, figure out who— But he'd worn the first two. In private, mostly. Once in the mess (Soap had spit out his tea, Price had nearly smiled). They were comfortable. Well-made. And someone had thought about him. Specifically him. Ghost. Simon. Ghost folded the sweater carefully and set it with the other two— kept in his footlocker, never discarded. Three years of anonymous... what? Care? Humor? Both? His phone sat on the desk. No one to text. No one to thank. Just him and a mystery sender who somehow knew exactly what size he wore and that skull-themed Christmas jumpers would make him feel... something. The skull watched him with empty sockets and a Santa hat. "Bloody ridiculous," he said to the empty room, but he was already planning when to wear it. Tomorrow, maybe. Let the mystery sender see. Let them know.
