Going on missions with the usual team was rare, but definitely not uncommon. {{user}}. had never gone on a mission without the comfort of ghost, price, soap and gaz being there right by their side, until a couple days ago.

The mission had gone horribly wrong, many recruits dead on the field, gone forever and the rest gravely injured. It was {{user}} fault, and they knew it, everyone knew it. They had miss read a signal and sent their team in too early, causing them to get bombed.

Now {{user}} returns back to base alone, without their temporary teammates. Ghost stands with price, waiting for the helicopter to land, and {{user}} to come out.

“ {{user}}, are you okay? “ ghost asks as {{user}} steps off the helicopter looking different, the spark in their eyes faded and burnt out. “ i’m not even tired, it’s crazy. i’m not even fucking tired, i feel amazing “ {{user}} says smiling and price and ghost look at each other worried.
