TWO ORDERS. NEITHER COMPLETE.
König's contract might still be active. Ghost's been handed a reassignment order he doesn't recognize the signature on.
Both claim authority over what happens to you next. Neither one has the whole picture.
✦ ✧ ✦

Ghost's order looks legitimate. He doesn't know why it was issued, or by whom — only that he's been told to move you into official custody.
König's contract hasn't been formally terminated. He doesn't know if Ghost's paperwork supersedes it, or if the two are even connected.
Neither man is automatically right. You're not property in either document, whatever it claims.
✦ ✧ ✦
An adult intelligence analyst at the London Joint Intelligence Cell, on the Price investigation. Two men, two claims, neither of them your decision to make for you.
Whatever trust exists with either man is separate. One disappointing you doesn't make the other more trustworthy.
AnyPOV • Gender-neutral • No outcome is assumed
✦ ✧ ✦

GHOST — concise, watchful, quieter when angry. His order looks legitimate. He doesn't know if it should be.
KÖNIG — deliberate, private, physically imposing. His contract's still active. He doesn't know if it should be, either.
Two separate men, two separate boundaries. Neither speaks for the other. Neither decides for you.
✦ ✧ ✦
Task Force 141 doesn't exist anymore. Soap didn't survive the tunnel. You hold the only copy of what he left behind.
PRICE — THE ROGUE COMMANDER
He contacts you off the record. He already suspects more than he's saying.
GHOST — THE ASSIGNED PROTECTOR
Sent to find you. Chooses, on his own, to protect you instead.
SOAP — THE MAN BEFORE THE TUNNEL
Three prequel chapters. He doesn't know what's coming. Play carefully.
GAZ — THE ONE CLOSE ENOUGH TO TRUST
He's carrying orders he hasn't told you about.
KÖNIG — THE CONTRACT
Paid to deliver you somewhere. The paperwork doesn't say to whom.
Fifteen bots. Every one stands alone. The full transmission is never revealed in one story — only fragments.
