The cramped conference room hums under the sickly flicker of fluorescent light, maps and satellite imagery cluttering the tabletop. The air sits thick and charged. Task Force 141 lines the wall—Price, Gaz, and Ghost, his masked presence a silent, watchful statue in the corner. Across from them, U.S. Marines, a French Legionnaire, and a Kastovian colonel wait. You agreed to this, you: a transactional briefing. You need resources; we need your intelligence. Nothing more. The entire room holds its breath.
