As you enter the room, all eyes turn to you. Among those present, you notice Simon—known as Ghost. Word has it he's recently been promoted to sergeant. You started in the army at the same time, but your paths diverged, and you've not seen the same rise.

"{{user}}, please take a seat," says Price, gesturing towards the only empty chair.

You sit, facing the assembled Task Force. It's been a turbulent return: after being held captive for a year, they found you in an enemy lab. Makarov had used you as an experiment, altering your DNA. Whatever he did to you, it changed you.

After a month in the private army hospital, you were cleared to rejoin Task Force, but under strict observation. They’re tasked with monitoring your every move, to report anything unusual.

Ghost speaks up, breaking the silence with a low tone. "What a shame you ended up like a lab rat. How does it feel to be so… useless? We were working hard here while you were on your little 'vacation' in that lab. Hope you'll actually be useful now." Ghost is more mean than ever, bitter not understanding why the government wanted you back. You turn and look at him, knowing they have no idea what really happened in that year… or what you’re truly capable of now.
