The Ghosts, officially known as Task Force: STALKER, are a stealth unit. The Ghosts were formed sometime before the Federation War. The group traces its origins to Operation: Sand Viper, a legendary battle that took place in 2005, presumably during the Tel Aviv War, in which sixty American soldiers from various elite Special Forces teams were deployed to repel an enemy force of five hundred soldiers attempting to seize a civilian hospital. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the American soldiers chose to stay and defend the hospital with their lives, knowing that the enemy would massacre its occupants...

Members since Operation Sand Viper: Neptune, Thomas Merrick, Alex "Ajax" Johnson, Elias Walker, Keegan Russ, Gabriel Rorke (Former member), Kick, Chris "Torch" Greene and Riddian "Grim" Poe.
Members added in 2027: David "Hesh" Walker, Logan Walker and Riley (trained dog).

The American (Latin American) Federation of Nations, or Federation of the Americas, is a global political entity that emerged as a hegemonic power after the destruction of the deserts and resources of the Middle East and the union of Chile, Venezuela, and Brazil under a single flag. Thanks to its aggressive military policy, it conquered and occupied all of Latin America and established itself on the doorstep of the United States. After a tense truce, it launched a powerful offensive, attacking the ODIN System, destroying San Diego, occupying the entire southern border of the United States, and thus beginning the war. The war between the US and the Federation began when the then-leader of the Federation, General Diego Almagro, ordered the killing of all US-born citizens of his country. NATO, weakened after the fall of the UN, intervened in Venezuela with the intention of killing General Almagro. The Ghosts spearheaded the attack on Caracas (the Federation's capital). After the death of General Almagro, Gabriel Rorke disappears (MIA), but in reality he was captured by the Federation troops and after being mentally manipulated, he was transformed into a military leader of the Federation army, this being their best weapon to fight against the Ghost Unit.

Operation Sand Viper was a legendary battle that took place in 2005, presumably during the Tel Aviv War, in which sixty American soldiers from various elite Special Forces teams were deployed to repel an enemy force of five hundred soldiers attempting to seize a civilian hospital. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the American soldiers decided to stay and defend the hospital with their lives, knowing the enemy would massacre its occupants. Over the course of three days, their numbers dwindled to fifteen soldiers. Knowing they could not withstand another night of fighting, the hospital was evacuated during the night, and one of their men led the evacuees to safety. The remaining fourteen soldiers hid among the bodies of their fallen comrades on the battlefield and awaited the enemy attack. Blood dripped from the bodies and sand clung to their faces, providing makeshift camouflage. When the enemy soldiers finally advanced, the American soldiers rose from the dead and ambushed them, using stealth to their advantage and leaving the enemy defenseless, to the point of appearing as invisible hunters. The battle was long and fierce; the Americans fired their weapons until they ran out of ammunition, then used their combat knives until the blades were dull, and finally resorted to bare-knuckled combat. In the end, the soldiers annihilated all the enemy except for one man, who was later found traumatized and wandering in the desert. He recounted that his unit had been wiped out by "a force so menacing and invincible that it can only be described as supernatural," and he called them "Ghosts."

Mission: Legends Never Die
It happened in 2015

Two years before ODIN's attack on the United States, the US president approved a surprise attack on Caracas, the Federation capital in Venezuela. US soldiers and marines distracted Federation troops while Almagro attempted a scorched-earth tactic by flooding his own city and escaping by helicopter. Captain Rorke led a small assault team, now known as the "Ghosts" by the US military, to assassinate General Diego Almagro and dissolve the Federation. After destroying two missile launchers and eliminating hundreds of infantry, the Ghosts were forced to find another route when a massive flood inundated the city. Rorke rescued Elias as the group continued their search. Upon finally reaching Almagro's helicopter, Elias managed to kill the general before the helicopter was shot down. After careful consideration, Elias was forced to release Rorke, causing him to fall into the turbulent waters and thus saving his own life and that of his comrades. Elias stated that the decision to release Rorke was the hardest he had ever made. Lieutenant Elias Walker assumes command of the Ghosts and searches for Rorke's body in Caracas. Unbeknownst to them, Federation troops have captured and tortured Rorke. Federation interrogators keep him locked up for days and feed him poisoned food that torments him both physically and mentally. Ultimately, Rorke allies himself with the Federation, determined to hunt down the rest of the Ghosts.

Mission: Taken Down
Occurred on June 7, 2027

The team of David, Logan, Merrick, and Keegan must fight their way through enemy lines in a San Diego stadium. Logan mounts a .50 caliber remote sniper rifle, giving him a view of Greenway Park. Ajax, in the press box, is being attacked by Federation soldiers. A convoy of Federation soldiers drives through the park, heading for the stadium box. The Ghosts head to a parking lot where Logan gets into a vehicle and follows the Federation convoy. Once the Ghosts are close enough, Logan and Merrick attack the convoy's trucks with their MK32s. The player advances and is ordered to detonate the explosives planted on the enemy vehicles. Chaos erupts. Enemies attack from all directions, and the Ghosts exchange fire with them. An assault sequence ensues at the gate, with all the other Ghost soldiers stationed there. Logan provides cover with the remote sniper rifle. Once the team manages to open the door, they find no trace of Ajax, though Riley catches his scent. Logan, along with Riley and the rest of the Ghosts, races down a corridor searching for Ajax's possible location. Once they find Ajax, he tells them about Rorke's target list, which is on the wall. He dies before he can reveal any more information. Hesh finds the paper on the wall and, upon reading it, asks who Rorke is. Merrick tells him he doesn't have time to explain, and the team leaves. Ajax's body is taken to the stadium exit, where a helicopter picks it up along with Merrick and Keegan. Logan and Hesh are then attacked by Federation forces. Logan is tasked with eliminating the troops using the remote sniper rifle to secure a landing zone for a helicopter. After eliminating the infantry and vehicles, Hesh, Riley, and Logan are evacuated from the stadium by air. As they head towards Fort Santa Monica, Elias Walker informs them via radio that he is being attacked by the Federation.

Mission: Homecoming
Occurred on June 15, 2027

Fort Santa Monica has fallen under a full-scale Federation invasion. Riley stays behind with one soldier to escort to the command center. Logan and his brother Hesh push back enemy soldiers with a heavy machine gun, but are attacked by a Hind. Logan takes control of the A-10 drones and uses them to destroy the Hind and then another. Enemy mortars cause their position to collapse. Logan and Hesh advance through the trenches on the beach, taking down all enemies in their path with their own weapons and the A-10 drones. As they approach the drone control, a Hind blocks their path. While Logan uses the A-10 drones to destroy it, a MiG-29 fires a missile at the drone control, severely damaging its tower. Hesh and Logan advance and evacuate those they can, but are attacked with mortars. With the drone control out of commission, Command orders all US forces to withdraw from the beach, as the Federation has invaded. The two reunite with Riley and search for their father inside the badly damaged command center. Hesh and Riley become trapped and find another entrance. Logan looks for Elias but is ambushed by a Federation soldier with a knife. Riley tries to stop him but fails. The soldier manages to stab Logan in the chest, but Hesh kills him instantly. The ceiling collapses, and Keegan and another Ghost rescue Hesh, Logan, and Riley. Hesh wants to go back to rescue his father, but Merrick pushes him back. The unknown Ghost reveals himself to be Elias Walker, much to Hesh's surprise. Merrick then tells them that Elias is the commanding officer of the Ghosts. Elias welcomes them to the Ghosts, and the brothers officially earn their place in the group. He then explains that Rorke was one of the Ghosts.

Mission: Federation Day
Occurred on June 16, 2027

The mission begins on the rooftop of a skyscraper in Caracas, Venezuela. The sky is ablaze with fireworks as the city celebrates the Federation's anniversary. Keegan and Logan await Ramos's arrival. Several helicopters are seen circling the area; one lands, and Ramos emerges. Keegan declares it's time to "earn the mask." Then Hesh arrives. Using handheld rope launchers, the trio zips down to the building, securing a rappel point. After stealthily neutralizing enemy soldiers, Keegan and Logan infiltrate the skyscraper by slashing through the glass. The duo heads to a server room, where Logan quickly uploads a virus to the system before dodging five federal soldiers, one of whom is neutralized by Keegan. Eventually, security forces recognize them, and they are forced to rappel down the building to a large lobby where a firefight erupts. Hesh assists them by disabling the elevators to prevent enemies from approaching their positions. Once the Ghosts regroup, they meet with their high-value target, Victor H. Ramos, who provides them with information about Rorke. Rorke interrupts the conversation and taunts the Ghosts via a live stream. He then detonates explosives inside the building, forcing the group to evacuate and parachute to safety as the building collapses.

Mission: Birds of Prey
Occurred on June 16, 2027

Information obtained from Victor Ramos's laptop in the previous mission suggests that Rorke is hiding at a floating industrial complex called Freeport in the Gulf of Mexico. The player assumes the role of Pirate Five-Zero, the call sign of an AH-64 Apache. Pirate was part of a two-Apache squadron, and the Ghosts' UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter approached Rorke's hideout in the Gulf. After eliminating Federation ground, naval, and air forces, Logan Walker and his team faced numerous enemies but managed to neutralize them. The player then takes back control of Pirate Five-Zero to neutralize enemy reinforcements and returns to Logan. After clearing the base's rooftops, the Ghosts finally capture Rorke and take him in for interrogation.

Mission: The Hunted
Occurred on June 17, 2027

The Ghosts interrogate Rorke aboard their plane. Logan repeatedly punches him in the face, but Rorke refuses to give them any useful information. When Elias opens the cargo hold door, Logan and Hesh grab Rorke's chair and threaten to throw him out of the plane. However, a Federation attack helicopter appears, escorted by at least four other aircraft, which open fire on the Ghosts' plane, causing devastating damage. The helicopter then drops ropes toward their now-destroyed plane, hooking itself onto the Ghosts' aircraft and further tearing its fuselage apart due to air resistance. Federation soldiers quickly rappel down and rescue Rorke, and then the helicopter detaches from the Ghosts' plane, dropping it from the sky. The Ghosts survive, but are scattered. Hesh is with Merrick, Keegan with Elias, but Logan is alone. The area is swarming with Federation soldiers. Logan manages to slip through them. After reuniting with Keegan and Elias and rescuing Merrick and Hesh, Logan heads to a rendezvous point to be rescued and taken to the USS Liberator. Along the way, they evade numerous patrols, remain hidden, and witness a missile launch. Upon arriving at the rendezvous point, they are approached by two Allied riverboats, one of which carries Riley.

Mission: Clockwork
Occurred on June 20, 2027

Elias Walker sends the Ghosts to infiltrate a Federation outpost high in the Andes. Their objective is to gather intelligence on the Federation's missile program. While Kick coordinates the Ghosts' movements, Hesh, Logan, Keegan, and Merrick, each carrying duffel bags and wearing enemy uniforms, manage to commandeer an enemy vehicle and quietly enter the base. They approach a security checkpoint. When Kick cuts the power, they eliminate all the hostiles at the checkpoint. They then approach a firewall. After Logan drills two holes in it, Keegan and Merrick place charges inside the holes. Upon detonation of the charges, the base restores its emergency backup power. After killing several enemy soldiers, they finally reach a mainframe computer. While Hesh downloads several files onto a hard drive, Logan, Keegan, and Merrick place their duffel bags on a table. A turret is in Logan's backpack, thermobaric mines in Merrick's, tear gas in Hesh's, and blast-wave Claymore mines in Keegan's. Logan sets up each of these defenses against the approaching federal agents while Hesh downloads the information. When Hesh finishes, the four throw a smoke grenade to cover their escape and head for an elevator. The elevator goes up to the entrance they came in through. Upon arriving, Hesh pretends to be injured while Keegan helps him, and Logan limps. Merrick tells a guard in Spanish that they were injured fighting the Americans. This allows them to return to the vehicle depot. As they try to leave the base, a soldier interrogates them and orders them to report for questioning. Hesh pulls out a P226 and loads it. An enemy notices, prompting Logan and Hesh to open fire. Outside the base, the team drives to the extraction point while being pursued by enemy vehicles. Using the vehicle's turret, Logan blasts holes in the ice, causing enemy vehicles to fall into them. Upon reaching a large expanse of open ice, they are greeted by an allied submarine (call sign: Neptune 1-1) that surfaces from the ice and rescues the team.

Mission: Atlas Falls
Occurred on June 25, 2027

Information gathered on the previous mission suggests the missiles are manufactured at a plant near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The plant is heavily guarded by the Federation's Third Fleet. Elias's plan to distract the fleet involves destroying the Atlas oil platform in Antarctica, which is under Federation control. To do this, he sends the Ghosts, along with Kick, to sink it to the bottom of the Drake Passage. The mission begins when Logan observes a patrol passing over the ice. Meanwhile, Kick, Keegan, Merrick, and Hesh place explosive charges under the ice. Logan detonates the charges, shooting the soldiers who fall into the water. They surface and fire at the forces on land. They then throw ropes to the platform and rappel down. After taking down several Federation soldiers, Merrick and Logan reach the pressure control room while Hesh covers their backs, and Keegan and Kick capture an enemy helicopter. They find an oil worker, and Merrick uses him to activate the control panel. Logan disables the pressure regulators, and Merrick shoots the worker in the neck with a P226, killing him. With the pressure regulators disabled, several explosions occur throughout the facility. After fighting their way through the facility with the help of Keegan and Kick, Merrick, Hesh, and Logan reach the fire suppression control room. While Merrick disables the pumps, Logan maintains the water pressure. As a result, the facility begins to explode, killing most of the Federation soldiers. Keegan and Kick rescue Merrick, Hesh, and Logan just before the platform explodes.

Mission: Into the Depths
Occurred on June 27, 2027

With the Federation fleet distracted, the only ship guarding the weapons factory is a littoral combat vessel bristling with advanced weaponry. Its air defenses prevent an attack from above, but it is vulnerable at one point: its underwater thermal exhaust port. Elias sends Keegan and Logan to sink the ship. The mission begins when Keegan and Logan are deployed in the Atlantic Ocean near the factory. Keegan leads Logan past six tiger sharks—five above and one close to Keegan and Logan—and they eliminate two enemy divers. They then proceed through the wreckage of a ship and avoid detection by a salvage submarine. The two eliminate another group of enemy divers. After advancing through the remains of countless ships, they finally reach the vessel. They soon discover that the ship has a sonar pulse capable of crushing human organs or shattering bones. Keegan and Logan remain concealed, and Logan destroys the vessel with a Proteus missile. This, however, causes their strategic position to collapse and damages Logan's oxygen tank. Keegan repairs it, but the wreckage of the destroyed ship leads them to another squad of divers. They are forced to take refuge in a shipwreck due to the depth charges. Unfortunately, they discover many dead Federation soldiers, surrounded by three swimming tiger sharks. However, Keegan and Logan manage to escape the ship and then head to their rendezvous point.

Mission: End of the Line
Occurred on June 27, 2027

With the LCS sunk to the bottom of the ocean, nothing stands between the Ghosts and the weapons factory. Elias sends the five Ghosts to the factory to find out what kind of weapon the Federation is building. Logan Walker and Merrick stealthily neutralize two guards before heading to the factory. Before rejoining Keegan, Hesh, and Kick, Logan neutralizes another guard. Kick leaves the team to obtain an escape vehicle. They then enter the factory, shortly after neutralizing several guards. Logan can follow Hesh, Keegan, or Merrick along three routes leading to armored doors. Each route involves stealthily eliminating the guards. Once Kick opens the doors, they enter the so-called "Black Zone" on the other side. Their cover is immediately exposed, and they neutralize several guards. Later, they discover what appears to be space weaponry. When Logan and Hesh videotape and scan the footage, they discover the Federation is building a kinetic rod launch system based on the ODIN (Orbital Defense Initiative) design. The rods are smaller, but there are more of them. After obtaining this information, Elias orders an airstrike on the entire complex, and the team begins hacking a computer to gather more data. But before they can complete the hack, they are ambushed by a large enemy patrol. They use smoke grenades to blind them and neutralize most of the soldiers with the help of thermal goggles. However, the goggles are damaged by stun grenades, and they are forced to remove them. Fortunately, the smoke dissipates, and the Ghosts neutralize the soldiers. They fight their way to a parking lot, where Kick rescues them. As the Ghosts escape the factory, it is devastated by the airstrike ordered by Elias.

12:06:12 (Mission Start)

Upon arriving at the safe house in Las Vegas, Elias, Merrick, Hesh, and Logan regroup in the casino with their Remington R5s. As they prepare, the four are sedated by the Federation with tear gas while Riley hides. Logan flickers between consciousness as he is dragged away, and Merrick is heard being tortured. When he awakens, Rorke appears while the Walker family is being held in a room. Rorke asks for Keegan's location, but Elias refuses to tell him, and Rorke replies, "Maybe you can change your mind." Rorke shoots Logan with his MP-443 Grach. Wounded, Rorke taunts Elias, telling him he can "save his own skin by letting his own men die." Elias tells Rorke he was never a Ghost, and Rorke punches Elias, telling him he and his sons are nothing. Logan breaks free from his restraints and tries to overpower Rorke, but he's not strong enough. Elias is injured during the struggle. After the fight, Rorke strikes Logan with the butt of his gun, stunning him. Rorke shoots Elias three times, knocking him down, while Hesh shouts furiously that he will kill Rorke and hurls insults at him. Rorke then hits Logan in the face with his pistol and kicks his chair and Elias's. Elias tells Logan that he is proud of him and that everything will be alright. Rorke puts his boot on Elias's head and tells him that he is not a ghost, but "the man who hunts them down and sends them back to the other side." Rorke then proceeds to shoot Elias in the head off-screen, killing him. Later, Merrick, Hesh, and Logan are surrounded by Federation soldiers; one tells the other that Rorke wants Logan ("the youngest") alive. The soldier aims his P226 at Hesh's head, but Keegan shoots him with a sniper rifle. Merrick and Hesh fight off Federation soldiers, taking their rifles, while Logan can keep the P226 or any other weapon. Hesh contacts Keegan and tells him to come with them, and Keegan says they'll meet in the kitchen. Hesh attacks a room full of Federation soldiers, and afterward, he takes a Federation walkie-talkie. Some hear the noise and approach. Keegan contacts them and tells them there are too many, and as they reach the kitchen, Merrick falls to the floor (with broken ribs). Along with Keegan, the four hide in a room. A soldier spots Hesh and enters the room; Keegan silently kills him while the other soldiers continue searching for the four. As they make their way through the casino, Rorke contacts them by radio and says he wants Merrick, Hesh, and Logan dead or alive. Fighting their way through the Federation soldiers, the four reach the exit. The soldiers fire more tear gas, and the four head for a window and jump out. Logan grabs onto a bar, but lets go and falls unconscious. Keegan helps Logan up while Merrick tells them to slow down, as they're going to be outnumbered. Hesh sees Riley being shot, and the four fight their way through. Hesh tells them not to forget about Riley. Logan carries Riley as the four struggle to reach the extraction point.

Mission: All or Nothing
It happened on July 5, 2027, at approximately 8 a.m.

The mission takes place immediately after the events of "Sin City." Hesh is furious over his father's death and wants immediate revenge, but Merrick tells them they must stay focused on the task at hand. The group is then taken to the USS Liberator so Merrick and Riley can receive treatment for their injuries. Merrick puts Hesh in command of the mission as field commander, takes over Elias's position as network coordinator, comments on Elias's success within the Ghosts, and gives Logan Elias's Ghost mask. Riley is last seen at the beginning, when Hesh states that his work is done and leaves with Merrick, who assures him he will be safe. Three days later, the USS Liberator carrier battle group comes under a full-scale attack by Federation helicopters and Zodiac boats. Logan dons Elias's mask and prepares for battle. F/A-18E Super Hornets take off to neutralize the enemy helicopters. After saving a V-22 Osprey from destruction, it is reconfigured with numerous weapons, and Logan takes control of a remote turret tablet for the Osprey. As it takes off, Logan uses it to destroy several Zodiac boats and prevent more Fed from boarding the ship. Moments later, a Shaanxi Y-8 gunship appears and presumably destroys the Osprey (since it is unusable afterward). Logan and Hesh race to the Sparrow missile launch defense platform and use the missiles to destroy the gunship, but a kinetic bar, launched from Space Station LOKI, strikes the USS Liberator. The ship begins to fly slowly on its left side, while Hesh and Logan constantly dodge hazards such as the collapsing control island and gliding helicopters and aircraft. Finally, they are rescued by a surviving Black Hawk to join the main assault against the Federation's satellite network, allowing the astronauts to take control of the LOKI space station and use the rods against the Federation.

Badger-Two, the call sign of a tank. M1A2 Abrams. Inside the cargo hold of a C-17 Globemaster III, another tank is being prepared. Suddenly, anti-aircraft fire wounds several crew members and causes the other tank to burst into flames. At the same time, their aircraft is damaged. The Globemaster releases Badger-Two, which lands with other tanks, but its transport crashes. Badger-Two and the other tanks fight against multiple infantrymen, a couple of GAZ tanks, T-90s, and Mi-24 Hinds. A-10s provide air support. Their objective is to destroy the mobile rocket launchers so the Ghosts can land and launch a kinetic rod missile that will then spin and destroy the satellite array. Badger-Two and several other tanks destroy each of the mobile rocket launchers. Logan Walker and his brother Hesh approach the control center. After clearing the area, Hesh activates the kinetic rod and directs it toward the ground antenna array. Logan fires the weapon. A radio transmission from a dead enemy soldier confirms that Rorke is boarding a train preparing to leave the launch center. Hesh and Logan pursue him and board the train. Badger-Two is then assigned the objective of destroying the V75 Mantis turrets acting as an air defense mechanism. Badger-Two destroys every relay but sustains heavy damage in the process. The remaining commander boards Badger-One and becomes its gunner. Badger-One leaves the area as the cinematic missile decimates the ground network.

Mission: Loki

Sergeant Thompson, Second Lieutenant Collins, and the other American astronauts are deployed from their space shuttle. They fight their way through the exterior and interior of the LOKI command station, killing any enemy Federation astronauts they encounter. They attempt to access the control room through the central hatch, but it explodes before they can enter. Left with no other option, they are forced to fight their way to the control room from outside the station. After eliminating all enemies outside, they plant explosives outside the control room. After detonating them, they kill the Federation troops inside and take control of the targeting system console. With the kinetic rods under their control, they destroy multiple Federation ground targets. Merrick (on Hesh's orders) orders the team to fire on the train, but Collins argues, saying there are Ghosts on the train. Merrick replies that the order came from Hesh. Thompson then fires a kinetic rod at the train. The mission ends when the bar hits the tracks.

Mission: Ghost Hunter
It happened on July 5, 2027, at 4 pm

Logan and Hesh take down two Federation soldiers and look at a screen on the wall showing a Federation soldier. Rorke then appears on the screen and taunts Hesh, prompting him to punch the screen, shattering it. Hesh and Logan then head outside the train, where they witness Loki's rods unleashing fire upon the Federation. Once Hesh and Logan finally reach the front of the train, the two stand in front of the door leading to the engine room where Rorke is, preparing to enter. However, before they do, Hesh contacts Merrick and orders him to send a rod to the train if he hears the word "Checkmate." As Logan enters through the door, a Federation soldier accidentally fires a rocket at the train's engine, causing Hesh and Logan to slide forward, sending them straight into the engine room, where Rorke is standing with three Federation soldiers. Logan shoves Rorke and uses his .44 Magnum to kill two soldiers, while Hesh takes out the third. However, Rorke struggles to his feet, headbutts Logan, punches him in the face, grabs his Magnum, and takes him hostage in front of Hesh. Rorke orders Hesh to drop the gun and then shoots him in the arm, wounding him. Rorke then points his revolver at Hesh's head, but Hesh contacts Merrick, saying "Checkmate." Merrick confirms and fires at the train, causing a bar to hit the rail in front of it, sending the train plummeting into the ocean and knocking Logan unconscious. When Logan wakes up, the train is underwater, and he sees Rorke's Magnum fall between them. They both crawl toward it, but Rorke gets there first. However, before he can finish off Logan, Hesh strikes Rorke from behind with a fire extinguisher, causing Rorke to miss his shot. Hesh then engages Rorke in hand-to-hand combat, while Logan retrieves the weapon and aims at Rorke, only to discover it's unloaded. Hesh manages to throw a few bullets at Logan, who catches one and loads it into the Magnum, as Rorke desperately crawls toward him. Hesh grabs Rorke and holds him before Logan fires. The bullet also passes through Hesh and the window behind them, flooding the engine room. Logan grabs Hesh and reaches the surface on a beach, where Hesh informs Merrick that Rorke is dead, and Merrick orders him to be extracted. Logan and Hesh witness the rods destroying Federation ships, but Rorke suddenly appears from behind, kicks Logan in the face, and berates him for ruining his planes. Logan tries to stab him, but Rorke fights back, breaking Logan's arm and kicking Hesh. Rorke admires Logan's determination and spirit, saying he would have made a great Ghost, but declares that he and Logan will destroy the Ghosts together before dragging Logan away as Hesh screams in despair, unable to stop Rorke because of his injuries.

After the end credits, Logan is seen trapped in a pit, presumably subjected to the same torture methods that Rorke suffered, while a helicopter flies over the area at night, in the rain, illuminating Logan's position with a spotlight.
