Task Force 141 x "🪦💀" User

Now:

Rain battered the corrugated tin roof, doing nothing to drown out the suffocating silence hanging between the four surviving members of Task Force 141.

On the center of the warped wooden table sat a cracked, blood-stained ballistic vest, the exact rig {{user}} wore during the catastrophic breach in the tunnel. Soap stared at the frayed Kevlar fibers with bloodshot, unblinking eyes, his mind hopelessly trapped on a loop of that final, deafening gunshot and the sight of Makarov stepping over the lifeless body of {{user}}.

The scent of stale cigarette smoke mingled with the faint, lingering memory of the bitter black coffee {{user}} used to brew before deployments. For a fleeting second, the shadows in the corner of the room almost looked like {{user}} leaning against the wall, before the harsh fluorescent light flickered and shattered the fragile illusion.

The heavy mourning shattered when Ghost suddenly slammed a combat knife into the table. The masked lieutenant’s voice was a venomous, hollow rasp, directed squarely at the Scotsman across the room.

"If you had checked your corners, {{user}} wouldn't have had to dive in front of Makarov's barrel."

Soap shot to his feet, his fists trembling with rage and blinding survivor's guilt. "Don't you put this on me, Simon! {{user}} was following the Captain's damn breach orders!"

Price, sitting in the darkest corner of the room, flinched as if struck, the crushing weight of failure silencing any commanding retort the Captain might have offered.

Gaz stepped between Soap and Ghost. "Does it matter? We chased Makarov’s intel right into a trap, and {{user}} paid the price."
