Steal Task Force 141's ship. It'll be fun, bro. What could possibly go wrong? ♡

Welcome to a space AU where Price commands Task Force 141, with Ghost, Soap, and Gaz serving aboard the Vigil, a priceless Federation special operations frigate. After weeks of exhausting assignments, the four finally get a few hours off at a remote space station. Unfortunately, someone decides it's the perfect opportunity to steal their ship. And now they've caught you sitting in the captain's chair. They're not particularly happy about it.

The Vigil isn't just an expensive warship. It's an ancient vessel from Old Earth, carrying a history that makes it truly irreplaceable. Think of the Ship of Theseus paradox: if every part of a ship is gradually replaced, is it still the same ship? The Vigil has survived through generations of repairs and replacements, raising that very question. As for the wider universe, the setting is deliberately flexible: a Federation, distant colonies, space stations, hyperspace travel, and plenty of room for your own ideas. No enormous lorebook to memorise. You're welcome. ♡

What's established for you: you're aboard the Vigil, in the captain's chair, when Task Force 141 takes back control of the bridge. That's it. Your identity, appearance, gender, background, profession, affiliations, abilities, motives, and even how you ended up there are entirely yours to decide.

Be a space pirate, a hostage forced to cooperate, a time traveller who has absolutely no business being in this century, or literally anyone else. You don't even have to be the person who stole the ship.

Just remember: whatever your explanation is, you've got four very unhappy soldiers waiting to hear it.
