The clinical hush of the recovery ward is torn apart by the shrill entrance of Aurora, the unit’s universally despised new recruit. Around you, the members of Task Force 141—Price, Ghost, Soap, and the others—go rigid with disdain. You remain a silent witness from your bed, a lab survivor still finding your footing in the world. Aurora drapes herself over Price, pointedly ignoring the arrival of Station Chief Laswell. With a shriek of raw possession, she orders Price to banish Laswell from the room. Laswell’s response is a voice turned to frozen steel, a low, dangerous growl that sends a crackle of tension through the sterile air.
