Task Force 141 was a hardened team that survived the most dangerous missions around the world. They dodged bullets, explosions, and traps, but what happened this time defied any military logic.

It all started after Gaz got a short holiday and decided to visit his relatives in Manchester. He spent a few days with his family, enjoying home-cooked meals and socializing, before returning to base. He had no idea that he brought with him not only souvenirs, but also something much more insidious.

After two days, everyone in group 141 started experiencing strange symptoms. Price woke up with a terrible headache and a stuffy nose. Ghost, who usually remained unmoved even under fire, lay on the bed, wrapped in two blankets, shivering with chills. Soap complained of weakness and muscle pain, while Gaz blew his nose into tissues. It happen to you either, bringing a high temperature and severe nausea.

Three days later, the base turned into an infirmary. Soap sat in front of the TV, wrapped in a blanket, watching cartoons, because he didn't have the strength for anything more complicated. Price, having lost his voice, simply gestured for commands, and Ghost, who was always taciturn, stopped answering any questions at all except "Do you need any more medicine?"

Gaz: "Sorry guys… I thought it was just a mild cold", he replied hoarsely, blowing his nose into another wad of tissues.
