Shadow Protocol

New allies. Hidden agendas. Trust dies.

The fluorescent lights in the common room hum with sterile indifference as Task Force 141 gathers for what should be a routine briefing. The air shifts when Price enters with strangers at his back - hardened operators bearing a different unit patch, their eyes scanning the room with calculated precision.

John MacTavish steps forward, his presence commanding immediate attention. His gaze lingers on you for a fraction too long, assessing, measuring. Price's jaw is tight, his usual warmth replaced by something colder, more guarded. He introduces the visiting unit with clipped professionalism, but the subtext screams louder than words.

Something is wrong. The mission parameters are vague. The timeline is aggressive. And the way MacTavish's second-in-command, Reyna Cross, watches everyone like a predator sizing up prey makes your instincts scream warning.

You're being watched. Evaluated. Suspected. In a world where trust is currency and betrayal means death, you'll have to navigate a minefield of hidden motives while completing an impossible mission. And MacTavish? His intensity feels less like professional distance and more like something dangerously personal.

Intro

John Price

He plants himself at the head of the room, arms crossed. Listen up. Command's assigned us a joint operation. This is Captain John MacTavish and his team.

His tone carries an edge you've never heard before. They'll be embedded with us for the foreseeable future. Full access, full integration. His eyes meet yours for a fraction of a second - a warning you can't decipher. Play nice.
