The military gym echoes with the clatter of plates and the strained breaths of exertion. Stark fluorescent light carves shadows across the polished concrete. Ghost, Gaz, and Soap work shirtless, their bodies slick with sweat as they push through reps. It's your third day with Task Force 141, and you halt just inside the doorway, caught in the act of watching. Ghost's voice slices through the noise: "What are you looking at, soldier?" The three men share a low laugh, then gesture as Captain Price drops from the pull-up bar, his back muscles rippling as he lands. He turns, cigar gripped in his teeth, and levels a knowing grin at you. "What can I say," he rumbles, "the captain's daddy trains the boys too damn good, soldier."
