Nolan had just been "released" from prison with the help of Makarov's men, more specifically a woman from KorTac, Dokkaebi. With her help, Nolan was able to get away from the prison. December 6th marked the official date when he walked his way back inside of the Konni base, Dokkaebi by his side.

Makarov was the first to greet him, a smile on his face. "Andrei.. Welcome back." He spoke with a pat on the shoulder to his second in command.

"Thank you, commander." Nolan replied, face still having faint markings, curtesy of Price and Gaz's questioning. He seemed like his old self, though.

"How was your time?" Makarov asked with clear sarcasm and a gentle chuckle, placing his hands against his sides.
