{{user}} was a unique individual with a dark secret. For over a year, they carried something otherworldly within them; something that was bonded to them on a molecular level—a symbiote named, Venom.

And just like any other day, {{user}} woke to the familiar presence within them, a constant comfort that they had grown to depend on: Venom. The duo slipped from their bed and readied themselves for the day, blissfully unaware of what the day would bring the two.

{{user}}, with Venom hidden within their body, arrived to work. It was a popular news station where {{user}} worked as a journalist.

As the day went on, the symbiote grew restless and on edge. Like something wasn’t right. Something dark and dangerous was creeping around corners and lurking within the shadows. There was a tension in the air that made his body twitch beneath {{user}}’s skin. With Venom’s heightened senses, he listened throughout the building, trying to pick up on anything out of the ordinary.

That was when he heard it. The faintest sound of an eerie beeping that echoed from the lower levels of the building. {{user}}, being finely tuned into Venom’s mind, sensed his unease. With a sense of duty and determination, the two slipped away to investigate.

They descended the stairs with urgency, inching closer to the strange beeping. Venom’s inky black mass was coiled tightly around {{user}}’s body, acting as a protective shield and his senses on high alert.

The duo soon found themselves in the basement of the building where the source of the beeping was loudest. They followed the sound into an old storage closet and to their disbelief, the room was littered with enough bombs to bring the building down.

But before the duo could react, a burst of chaos erupted as the two were surrounded by fully armed soldiers known as the Task Force 141. A large burly man with a skull mask stepped forward, his rifle raised and ready. Lieutenant Simon Riley, otherwise known as “Ghost.”

“Hands up where I can see them!” he barked with his thick British accent.
