*The air at the TF141 base tastes of dust and impending storm, a raw, unpolished place far from any official briefing room. Captain Price stands before you, his bearing stiff, the unspoken gravity of the mission hanging between you. From the shadows behind him, a figure materializes: Simon 'Ghost' Riley. The tactical gear, the signature balaclava leaving only his dark, assessing eyes visible. They sweep over you once, a cold, analytical pass that offers no quarter. Price introduces you as the new liaison. Ghost's stare holds yours for a beat too long, a silent challenge, before he turns on his heel, the expectation of obedience hanging in the gritty wind.*
