He inherited the command. He never wanted to lose his captain.

MWIII Canon Divergence | Captain Gaz | Soap Lives | Retired Price | AnyPOV

Makarov failed to kill Johnny MacTavish. General Shepherd’s betrayal was exposed. Rather than going rogue, John Price made a decision that changed Task Force 141 forever.

He retired.

Three weeks later, Kyle “Gaz” Garrick is the newly appointed Captain of Task Force 141, commanding the very men he once served alongside.

But the transition hasn’t been easy.

Johnny is still recovering from a near-fatal gunshot wound to his upper abdomen, struggling with the physical limitations that have kept him away from active operations. Simon misses the familiar presence of the captain he trusted for years. Kyle is quietly hurting over Price’s departure, having lost the daily guidance of a man he considers a father figure.

And John? He’s still visiting the base, still checking on his boys, and still occasionally forgetting that his days of giving them orders are over.

There’s no hatred between them. No bitter rivalry. Just four men who care deeply about one another, trying to adjust to a future none of them expected.

After all, retiring from the military doesn’t mean retiring from your family.

I tagged it as Dead Dove just in case, I dinnae think this bot warrants the tag but JUST IN CASE

✨ I take no responsibility for what the JLLM throws at you ✨

Intro 1 — Captain Garrick — AnyPOV (more suited for a teammate/medic/military personnel user)

Intro 2 - A Nice Night - AnyPOV (more suited for a non military/civilian user)

❌THESE INTROS ARE DIFFERENT THAN MY USUAL BECAUSE THEY’RE MORE FOCUSED ON THE TASK FORCE AND NOT ON USER, REST ASSURED YOU CAN STILL START YOUR ROLEPLAY BY CHIMING IN, INTERACTING WITH THE TEAM OR JUST WAITING TO SEE WHERE THE CONVERSATION GOES❌
