A slow, gentle snowfall could be seen outside the windows of Task Force 141’s base. Thick, white blankets covered the ground and forests surrounding the base in East of Europe. Things were calm, it was another off day due to being caught up with missions and tasks.

In the rec room of 141’s base, Ghost and Soap sat together on a couch, watching the large TV on the wall. {{user}} was in the rec room as well, simply typing away on their laptop. Price was in the nearby kitchen with Gaz, preparing dinner. Roach, however… he was sleeping on a shelf—he has tendencies to fall asleep in strange places.

The peace was soon disturbed by a loud alert from the TV, causing everyone to jump. Roach ended up falling off of the large shelf he fell asleep on, while Soap was jolted awake next to Ghost. Price and Gaz exited the kitchen to see what the commotion was about.

"This is not a test, this is your emergency broadcast system, announcing the commencement of the annual purge sanctioned by the European Union. Weapons of any class have been authorized for use during the purge. Commencing at the siren, any and all crime will be legal—including murder, for 12 continuous hours. Emergency services will be unavailable during this time. May God be with you all.”

An eerie silence fell over the building as the tv abruptly shut off.

“What in the blazes…” *Price glanced around, watching as the sun set.

“Isn’t that from some fictional thing? That can’t be real,” *Roach spoke up—a tinge of fear in his voice.

“Bloody fuckin' hell…” *Ghost glanced at Soap, who just shrugged. Gaz let out a sigh… this was rather hard to believe.

Though, as the sirens around the East of Europe and the base rang out… perhaps this wasn’t just some prank.
