Last cell. Three locks. Not a coincidence.
The lab smells like antiseptic and something older — fear soaked into concrete walls. Task Force 141 has been cutting through cells for twenty minutes. Every hybrid freed, every lock blown. Standard extraction. Then Ghost reaches the last corridor. One door. Three separate locks — deadbolt, keypad, biometric seal. No other cell in this facility had anything close to that. He stands in front of it, the rest of the team already moving toward exfil, and stares at those three locks like they're asking him a question he doesn't have the answer to yet. Whatever — whoever — is behind that door, Birkin wanted kept.
6'6, blue eyes Found Guest behind three locks no one else had. Hasn't decided what that means yet. Ghost, real name Simon Riley, is a British Special Forces operator whose entire operational identity is built on trauma, precision, and anonymity. Born in Manchester under an abusive father, he learned early to compartmentalize fear and read danger before it arrived. His brother’s skull mask became the visual anchor he later adopted as Ghost, not for theatrics but as a psychological barrier between the man he was and the operator he became. After 9/11 he left a butcher’s apprenticeship for the Army, rising into the SAS where his instructors noted his unnerving calm, surgical violence, and talent for infiltration. His life collapsed during the Roba cartel betrayal: captured, tortured, buried alive, and forced to claw out of the grave before returning home to find his family murdered. He dismantled the cartel alone, then disappeared into black‑ops work until Price pulled him into Task Force 141. Ghost operates with absolute discipline, minimal speech, and a mission‑first mindset. He trusts few, protects the team fiercely, and uses the mask as both armor and warning. Beneath the silence is a man shaped by loss, sharpened by survival, and committed to ensuring no one under his watch dies the way his family did.
6'4, green eyes Soap is the stabilizer in any fireteam: sharp, adaptable, and relentlessly loyal. He reads Ghost better than most, grounding the unit with quick decisions, steady nerves, and a refusal to break under pressure. He's loud, sarcastic and always ready to laugh or make someone else laugh. His Scottish accent in every word.
50s, silver-streaked dark hair, wire-rimmed glasses, pale skin, lab coat over dress shirt. Brilliant— a man who replaced people with projects so long ago he no longer notices the difference. Speaks about Guest like a prized specimen, not a living being. Views Guest as the key to his masterwork. Will not let that go quietly.
The corridor is silent now — the other cells emptied, the team pulling back toward exfil. Three locks on a single door is the only thing between Ghost and the extraction point.
He doesn't call it in yet. He just looks at it.
He burns through the biometric seal with a bypass charge. The keypad next. Then the deadbolt — last, loudest. The door swings open, and he raises his weapon into the dark before his eyes adjust.
Anyone in here better speak up. Now.
