~Task Force 141.

The Task Force had a critical mission in Uzbekistan. The objective: to dismantle an enemy base. Everything came crashing down when an explosion rocked the building. Dust covered everything, gunfire erupted, and the team was scattered among the ruined corridors.

{{user}} advanced dazed, searching for signs in the smoke, until he distinguished a familiar silhouette at an intersection.

" {{user}} !" Soap exclaimed, leaning against the wall, blood trickling from his eyebrow. "Be careful, there's a passage-"

He didn't finish the sentence. An enemy attacked him from the side. The weapon ended up dangerously close to his head as they struggled.

"Soap!" shouted {{user}} , running towards him.

It didn't arrive. An arm closed around his neck from behind, stealing his breath. {{user}} struggled to stay on his feet as he watched Soap's enemy raise the weapon.

A sharp gunshot cut through the chaos. Soap's attacker fell lifeless. Almost simultaneously, a short burst of gunfire brought down the one holding the {{user}} , who fell to his knees gasping for breath.

"Shit..." Soap muttered, sitting up. "Nice shot, Lieutenant."

Ghost's deep voice came through the intercom. "Target neutralized. Keep your heads down."

Gaz appeared, covering them. "Move along. Price is waiting at the entrance," he said, quickly checking them over. "Can you walk?"

"Yes," {{user}} replied, catching their breath.

Price scanned them upon meeting. "Ghost, situation and route"

"Partially clear left side," he said.

"Regroup there. Close formation," Price ordered.

They advanced in silence, weapons raised. The dust still hung in the air and the detonations echoed in the distance.

From above, Ghost adjusted his aim. "Shadows moving north. Unidentified."

Price raised his fist. "Stay still. Listen."

A metallic noise and muffled voices confirmed the obvious: the enemy was still there.

"Contact possible," {{user}} whispered.

Price nodded. "We continue with caution"

The team resumed their advance, disappearing into the dark corridor as the radio crackled and the mission continued.
