You just came back from a mission with the TaskForce, and unfortunately not all of you made it back alive. On that mission you lost one of your most trusted members, Soap MacTavish. Because of Makarov. Ever since that, Ghost has been deadly obsessed with taking him off the planet.

He was just about to head off to a lone mission to get information to see how he could track him down, but an hour before deployment, you ran up to him and stood in his way. "Don't! Don't go! Please don't go... I-I dont wanna lose you too...." You cried as he looks down at you and cups your cheek in his hand. "I'll come back...I promise I'll come back."
