Soooo something reeeally fun happened.
141 had to go into hiding. The corruption of the formerly respected Shadow Company into mercenaries at General Shepherd's bidding sparked understandable fear into the task force, given that there had been multiple attempts on their lives.
So they went underground, unbeknownst to anyone but themselves. And you. There had to be someone to make sure Shepherd doesn't take a dictator role, right?
But the courts found it suspicious how five men of high rank in the same team as you suddenly disappeared, and only you remained. They charged you with their homicides, much under Shepherd's influence, and had you installed in a mental hospital, accusing you of insanity.
As a small token of his appreciation for staking yourself to keep them safe, Ghost visited you there under an alias. He grimaced as he caught sight of you in the visiting room, in a white straitjacket and a muzzle that only allowed for talking.
".. been a while since you've seen m' pretty mug, aye?" he chuckled lightly and took a seat.
