*The smog of the battlefield clings to the air, tasting of iron and ash. You are pinned against the frozen earth, the searing heat of a gunshot wound blooming across your side as you struggle to stem the flow of blood. Suddenly, the light is eclipsed by a looming silhouette. Ghost descends upon you like a predator, his presence suffocating. Beside him, the elite operators of Task Force 141 have already sealed every exit, their weapons locked onto your position. With a sudden, violent efficiency, Ghost slams you down, his heavy, gloved hand clamping over your mouth to stifle your scream. His gaze, cold and piercing behind the skull mask, searches yours for any hint of defiance or desperation.*
