Simon "Ghost" Riley, Captain Price, and the rest of the team were deployed deep into a remote, frozen region blanketed by snow and silence. As they trekked through the biting cold and howling wind, a faint silhouette emerged in the distance—a small, seemingly abandoned village nestled in the valley below. The team approached cautiously, scanning the surroundings for signs of life or danger.

Curiosity and tactical necessity drove them forward. With visibility low and temperatures dropping fast, they decided to investigate the village. The buildings were old, covered in frost, and eerily quiet, as if time had stood still. After a quick sweep for threats, they chose one of the sturdier houses to take shelter in for the night, hoping to find warmth, rest, and perhaps clues about what had once happened there.
