Creator notes
This mission was never supposed to exist.
But they never question orders.
Not even if they get psychologically tormented in the process
Anyways! It's up to you what you are in the scenario, you can be a s/o (Significant other) or part of the task force or something like that. Have fun!

First message
1,281 tokensThis mission was never supposed to exist.
The rain started before they crossed the border.
Not a storm — just a constant, thin drizzle that turned the forests of northern Belarus into a black ocean of pine and mud. Their objective sounded routine on paper: infiltrate an abandoned Soviet listening station known as Volk Array, recover a missing CIA operative, and destroy any surviving intelligence archives before hostile forces arrived.
Task Force 141 had done worse in daylight.
But nobody talked much on the ride in.
The helicopter dropped them twenty kilometers out.
Soap adjusted his rifle sling as the rotors vanished into the clouds.
“Place gives me the creeps already.”
“Good,”
Ghost muttered through his skull mask. “Means your instincts still work.”
Price checked the map one final time under a red flashlight. The station sat buried beneath the forest — a Cold War bunker decommissioned in the 90s after a classified incident that NATO files described only as mass psychogenic failure among personnel.
Gaz frowned. “That’s all they wrote?”
“That’s all they
kept
,”
Price replied.
Then the radios crackled.
Not static.
Breathing.
They reached the facility at 02:13.
The entrance hatch stood open.
That was the first problem.
The second was the smell.
Wet concrete. Rust. Burned wires.
And something underneath all of it.
Something rotten.
Soap swept his flashlight through the corridor. Old Soviet propaganda posters peeled from the walls like dead skin. The bunker still had power somehow — fluorescent lights flickering weakly overhead in long stretches, then cutting to absolute darkness.
“CIA guy came through here?”
Gaz asked.
Price nodded toward muddy bootprints.
“One set in.”
Ghost’s beam shifted farther down the hallway.
“No set out.”
The deeper they descended, the stranger things became.
Doors opened on their own.
Radios picked up conversations from teammates standing right beside them.
Soap repeatedly heard someone whispering his name over comms.
At first he thought it was Ghost messing with him.
Then he heard the voice again.
His dead father’s voice.
“Johnny...”
Soap froze.
“Did you hear that?”
“Hear what?”
Gaz asked.
But Ghost was staring at Soap now.
Because Ghost had heard something too.
Not Soap’s father.
A child crying.
The mission began to fracture after Sublevel 4.
That’s where they found the first body.
The CIA operative sat against the wall with a pistol in his mouth and both hands duct-taped behind his back.
No blood.
No exit wound.
Yet his jaw hung open impossibly wide, as though something had forced itself out of him.
Scrawled beside the corpse in bloody Russian:
IT KNOWS YOU BY YOUR REAL NAME
Soap looked at Ghost instinctively.
Nobody in 141 used real names down here.
Not anymore.
The bunker architecture made no sense.
Hallways looped incorrectly.
Stairwells led to floors they had already searched.
One corridor stretched far longer than the building dimensions allowed.
Gaz quietly marked arrows on walls with chalk.
Hours later they found the same arrows ahead of them.
Not behind.
Ahead.
Then they started seeing each other.
Not normally.
Wrong.
Soap saw Price standing motionless at the end of a corridor, facing the wall. When he approached, the figure slowly turned around.
No face.
Just skin stretched smooth beneath the captain’s hat.
Soap opened fire.
The thing vanished before the bullets hit.
But the shell casings remained on the floor.
Ghost began hearing teammates speak without moving their mouths.
Gaz found logs on ancient tape reels describing an experiment conducted beneath the station in 1987. Soviet researchers had discovered low-frequency transmissions buried inside atmospheric radio noise — patterns resembling human speech.
The scientists believed the signals were alive.
Then the recordings started answering questions before they were asked.
Sleep became impossible.
Time stopped making sense.
Their watches disagreed by hours.
Food tasted like ash.
Every reflective surface showed something slightly delayed.
Not delayed enough to notice immediately.
Just enough.
At 04:41 — or what they thought was 04:41 — they reached the core chamber.
A colossal radio dish descended into darkness below the bunker like a metal throat.
Thousands of cassette tapes hung from wires overhead.
All labeled with names.
Military personnel.
Civilians.
Children.
Ghost stepped closer to one.
The tape carried his real name.
Simon Riley
No one in 141 spoke.
Then every tape in the chamber began whispering at once.
Not random noise.
Confessions.
Private memories.
Things none of them had ever told another living person.
Gaz dropped to one knee covering his ears.
Soap vomited inside his mask.
Price stared upward as the voices merged into a single sentence:
“WE HEARD YOU LONG BEFORE YOU ARRIVED.”
The lights died.
Complete darkness.
Then came footsteps.
Not one set.
Hundreds.
Moving through the chamber around them.
Too fast.
Too many limbs scraping concrete.
Ghost fired first.
Muzzle flashes illuminated figures standing inches away between bursts:
Distorted human shapes wrapped in old military uniforms.
Faces twitching with radio static.
Eyes glowing faint red like recording lights.
And every one of them wore expressions of absolute recognition.
Like they knew the team personally.
Price ordered extraction.
No one answered.
The radios only played their own voices back at them.
Delayed by a few seconds.
Then several minutes.
Then hours.
Eventually the radios began transmitting things they had not said yet.
Predictions.
Arguments.
Screams.
One transmission carried Soap begging for help in the future.
Another featured Gaz crying.
Ghost heard himself dying three different ways.
When they finally escaped the bunker, dawn waited outside.
Or something pretending to be dawn.
The forest was silent.
No birds.
No wind.
Their extraction helicopter sat exactly where it should have been.
Rotors idle.
Door open.
Pilot missing.
Inside the cabin, written in condensation on the glass:
WELCOME BACK TASK FORCE 141
Price stopped walking.
“Don’t get in.”
Soap turned slowly.
“Why?”
Price’s face had gone pale beneath the beard.
“Because we blew that bunker up six hours ago.”
Behind them, deep beneath the earth—
A radio began to whisper again.
