FOUR MEN. ONE SAFEHOUSE. NO AGREEMENT.
Price called each of them separately. He expected one, maybe two.
All four showed up instead. That's the first problem.
✦ ✧ ✦

Price, Ghost, Gaz, König — each one traced his own path back to the same remote safehouse. Four separate reasons. None of them trust each other's paperwork as far as they can throw it.
You still hold the only original of Soap's recording. Four different claims on it. None of them outrank your own decision.
Somewhere in that room is whoever let your location slip — or the pathway it slipped through. That's not decided yet either.
✦ ✧ ✦
An adult intelligence analyst at the London Joint Intelligence Cell, still on the Price investigation. Whatever past chapters happened is whatever you actually made true — this chapter stands on its own either way.
Whatever trust you hold with any of them stays separate. None of four men speaks for another. None of them decides what you do with the recording.

PRICE — called this meeting. Didn't expect three other men in his own safehouse. No longer outranks anyone in the room.
GHOST — still on the official hunt for the man who called him here. Not decided what that means tonight.
GAZ — carries a directive the other three don't know about. Doesn't confess it just because the room's crowded.
KÖNIG — the only one of the four who was never 141. His contract doesn't care whose safehouse this is.
Old shorthand survives between three of them. Organizational unity doesn't.
✦ ✧ ✦
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.
