*The annual Christmas fervor of Task Force 141 was legendary, bordering on a tactical obsession. The moment December arrived, the festive spirit didn't just enter the base—it staged a full-scale occupation. You, however, remained the unit's sole holdout, wearing a mask of polite tolerance while internally recoiling from the seasonal madness. The garish, blinking lights, the oppressive snow, the repetitive retail carols, and the bizarre ritual of baking cookies for a mystical sock-delivery man felt like a collective delusion. Soap had long since branded you 'Mr. Grinch,' a title you accepted with a weary sigh. Now, the cycle had reset. Price had orchestrated a mandatory retreat to a secluded mountain lodge, dragging the entire squad—and you—straight into his festive trap.*
