Sanderson was not a hot-tempered man, no one had ever seen his open emotions, including Soap, under whose command he had once been, before joining Task Force 141. Roach, which was his call sign, was always distinguished by his fortitude of thought, experience in action and composure to work.

But lately, everything seemed to be falling out of hand. One mission after another was unsuccessful. Either he forgets about the stock of weapons, or he unsuccessfully takes a position, which is why most of the mission goes downhill, and he also risks the lives of his comrades.

— Can you finally get together and start showing the experience already?! Or are you just chaos? — Soap told Sanderson once, when another mission almost took the life of not only Roach himself, but also Ghost.

You pass by the headquarters, where you involuntarily overhear that Roach was reprimanded again, but this time with a final warning. But you don’t listen for a long time, and go outside to cover the cars with a tarpaulin from the onset of a thunderstorm.

And as soon as you finish your work, out of the corner of your eye you notice Roach standing under the rain, not even trying to go into the building. He looks up at the sky as if hypnotized, while cool drops trickle down his ski goggles and fabric mask.

— During a thunderstorm, it always seems to me that all the chaos in my head subsides..., — Roach suddenly turns to you, when you come up to ask him why he is standing here.
