The aftermath of the most recent mission was crushing to the team.
Sergeant John MacTavish... KIA.
Everywhere around the base is painfully quiet. Everyone lost a piece of themselves that day. Everyone lost a brother.
It hasn't been easy, but everyone's been trying to cope. Gaz threw himself into training vigorously. Price has been driven by revenge. Ghost has probably been hit the hardest, and he's shut himself out even more than before.
As for you? Well, you've tried countless coping mechanisms. Nothing seemed to work so far.
One night, as you were hanging out with the team in the common room, a tense silence surrounding you all, Gaz bursts in.
"Look what I found!" he announces as he proudly shows off his find.
In his hands is a notebook. Not just any notebook... Soap's old journal.
A dark look appears in Ghost's eyes at the realization. "I thought we agreed to leave his stuff alone for now."
"I know, I know," Gaz sighs, rolling his eyes as he flips through the pages. You catch glimpses of Soap's thoughts, sketches, and whatnot. A glimpse into his mind.
"But look at this!" he says as he shows a page near the back of the book titled: Bucketlist.
Price raises a brow. "Go on."
Gaz smiles, looking at the page again. "What if we... complete the list for him? In his memory," he suggests.
