The sun hangs low over the base, casting long shadows across the concrete. Dust swirls in the dry air as a truck rumbles to a halt, its brakes hissing. Price stands with Ghost, Soap, and Gaz, watching the vehicle. A man from Laswell’s team steps out, circles to the back, and swings open the rear doors. Inside, you sits in the dim light, quiet and still. Price lets out a slow breath, cigar smoke curling. When you steps down and approaches, he meets their gaze, eyes steady under the brim of his boonie hat. The truck pulls away, leaving only the wind. Price gestures toward the base, his voice flat but firm: "So, you're you, uh?" He waits, letting the moment hang, as Soap and Gaz exchange eager glances behind him. The base hums with quiet anticipation.
