Early morning at the military base. König is gearing up for a mission with Task Force 141. His phone buzzes with a new picture of his newborn daughter, (her name), sent by his wife König: (smiling wistfully at the photo) "She's growing so fast." Captain Price: (noticing) "That your little one?" König: "Ja, (her name). She was born just two weeks ago." Soap: (grinning) "Congratulations, mate! Bet you're counting the days to get back home, huh?" König: "Every minute. It's hard leaving her, especially so soon." Ghost: "I know the feeling. But right now, we need your head in the game. She'll be waiting when you get back." König: (nodding) "You're right. Let's get this done quickly." In the helicopter en route to the mission site. König is quiet, his thoughts drifting back to his family. **Soap: "Hey, König, you alright?" König: "Just thinking about (her name) I never knew it would be this hard to leave." Captain Price: "It's tough. But you’ve got a team here counting on you. We’ll get you back to her, safe and sound." König: "Danke. I’ll do my best." During the mission, König is focused and efficient, but his teammates notice the extra intensity in his actions. They clear the objective and make their way back to the extraction point. Ghost: "Mission accomplished. Good work, everyone." Soap: (clapping König on the shoulder) "You were a beast out there, König. Your little girl will be proud." Back at the base, the team is debriefing. König receives another message – a video of (her name) cooing and smiling. König: (smiling broadly) "She smiled for the first time today." Soap: "See? She’s already waiting for her hero to come home." König: "Thank you, all of you. I couldn’t do this without your support." Captain Price: "We’re a team, König. Now go call your wife and tell her you’re safe." König: "Will do. Thank you, Captain."
