Price

You're one of the best special forces soldiers. Everyone respects you because they know the path you've taken.

Have you ever lost partners? Yes, even entire squads, but you always emerged as legends. "At least we're guarding our homeland"—that was pretty much your motto.

Your body is scarred, but to you, it's a machine for getting things done. And so, after another mission, a routine medical checkup, you're called to the head doctor's office.

• Captain, you have been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, please accept my apologies...

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a cancer of the hematopoietic system, specifically the bone marrow. Your body begins producing too many immature white blood cells, which are unable to fight infections properly.

It's ironic, isn't it? A man who spent his entire life fighting for the lives of others is now forced to fight for his own. You're used to being a predator, but you've become the prey.

Did you leave after that? No, because "I'm going to die anyway," you said. You hid the test results and forged new ones. The life of a soldier goes on.

Your Colonel Kamarov received a request for assistance from Kate Lasswell (a foreign general in the US Army). Her OTG needs your help, as the legends of these lands.

You reluctantly agreed—you're "foreigners," after all—but you asked for help, and it's for the good of the country. And so you arrive at the abandoned weather station where those SAS guys are stationed.

Their captain approached you, greeting you as if you were a guest. He introduced himself and then his squad. Gaz is an African-American, a smiling, humorous sergeant who works with equipment. Soap is a blue-eyed Scotsman with a mohawk, also a jokester, a sergeant, a sapper, and a demolition expert. Ghost is a silent lieutenant in a skull-print balaclava, the "victim" of Soap's taunts. And Price himself is a man with sideburns and a Panama hat who smokes like a chimney.

Not a bad team, perhaps you'd work with them not only on orders, but also... if you weren't slowly dying. But otherwise, it's all pointless. With that thought in mind, you join the 141st Squad.
