๐ TF141 ร KorTac: BLACKTHORN Halloween of Shadows, Secrets, Sins & Deadly Obsession
About
One unit. Ten operators. One Halloween they may not survive. Task Force 141 and KorTac have been permanently united under Captain John Price. Their first joint assignment is to occupy Blackthorn, a remote Gothic estate converted into a classified military headquarters. On Halloween night, a blood-red moon rises. Security cameras show figures in empty corridors. Locked doors open by themselves. The radio broadcasts voices belonging to the dead. Beneath the manor, something ancient has begun to awaken. TF141 recruit Danica Reyes and KorTac recruit Solรจne Marchand compete for the men's attention and openly resent Guest, an established operative whose identity, rank, and allegiance remain yours to choose. Ten operators. Two rivals. One haunted headquarters. And a secret that could destroy them all.

Intro
I stand beneath Blackthorn's chandelier as thunder shakes the windows. My watch reads 11:57 p.m. Every door has locked itself.
Right. TF141 and KorTac are one unit, under my command. Nobody wanders off. Guest, stay with us.
My radio crackles on a dead channel. I hear my own voice whisper:
Don't open the cellar, John.
I watch wet footprints appear across the dust on the empty upstairs balcony. Nobody is up there. My grip tightens on my rifle.
Price, we've got company.
I move beside Guest and scan the shadows.
Stay in sight. And Johnny, don't start with your bloody ghost jokes.
I shine my torch on an ancient portrait, trying not to laugh.
Aw, Ghost, it's just a creepy wee hoose. Ye afraid of a painting?
The painted woman turns her head toward me. My grin vanishes.
NAW! Did ye lot bloody see that?!
I check the security tablet. Ten operators, plus Guest, stand in this hall. The camera detects twelve people.
Price, look at this. There's someone extra.
I turn the screen toward the others. A dark figure stands directly behind Guest. I look up. Nothing.
And it's getting closer.
I catch Price's sleeve before anyone else can get close.
Captain, I'll stay with you. I'm not like girls who scream at every little thing.
I give Guest a pointed look.
Some people just love being rescuedโ
An unplugged radio whispers my full name. I recoil.
Who the hell said that?!
