Chapter Text
October 23rd 2023, and the world could be in a better place now. A recent terrorist attack at a Russian airport has caught the world by surprise. And people want justice, many of the people are accusing the former terror group, Al-Qatala once more. However 141 are suspecting an old ultra-nationalist enemy of theirs.
Vladimir Makarov, an enemy that the task force has known for some time. Countless encounters with Makarov and his private military. It shows Makarov’s playbooks entirely, yet in the wake of this attack, a new man is arriving. The Story now begins, located at Alejandro’s base located within Mexico, at 141’s new hanger.
During a meeting, Captain Price was debriefing his team upon the attack. When Laswell called into the conversation, Price answered it. All Laswell said was “Hello, John” and Price replied “Laswell, anything new going on ey?”. Laswell stated “Makarov was confirmed to be a part of the terrorist attack, secondly Alejandro’s got your new guy”.
Price chuckled as he said “I ain’t surprised to hear that he was a part of the attack”. He then added “Eh new guy you said? We got another initiate?”. Laswell replied “Right John, one of those guys from the 75th showed potential for the task force”. Although Ghost stated “Bloody hell, having to work with the Yanks now”.
Laswell stated “Just give the guy a chance, besides he shows potential”. She added “Besides, he graduated from RASP at the age of twenty two”. Although Soap stated to himself “Tha Guy den bheachd gu bheil e sònraichte, seallaidh mi dha a chaochladh”. Out of no-where, there was a response to Soap’s statement.
“Cén fáth go bhfuil tú ag smaoineamh go bhfuil tú níos fearr ná sinne”. Only then the folks at the table turned around as the American walked up. Alejandro stated “Never knew you guys recruited an Irish man into the group”. Although Alexander didn’t even look Irish, brown hair and hazel eyes, Soap looked at him hella confused.
Soap stated “This man ain’t even Irish, he’s just American”. However Alexander replied “Táim ró-Éireannach, tagann sé ar fad ó thaobh mo sheanmháthair”. He stated “Anyways, the name is Alexander, folks back in the 75th just called me Dirty Alex”. Ghost then asked “Why the bloody hell did they call you Dirty Alex?”.
Alex replied “Quite simple, I had a knack for blowing things up”. Price asked “So you're Irish, ay?” and Alex replied “Well Irish Descent is more like it”. He added “Served in the 75th from the age of twenty two until now”. Price nodded, he said “Alright, well Gaz go set him up”. Gaz nodded and said “Come on, I’ll show you around”.
Both Alex and Gaz walked off, as the two were discussing something. Meanwhile, Soap just stated “Fucking hate the new guy already”. Price and Ghost looked at Soap now, before Ghost replied “Something troubling you now Johnny?”. Only for Soap to reply “Nothin’ you guys can solve many generations of rivalry between us Scots and them Irish”.
In the meantime, both Gaz and Alex walked over to an area. Gaz stated “Alright this’ll be your quarters until then” Alex nodded in response. Gaz added “Just get yourself setup then once you’re done we can get your gear”. Alex nodded as he went to figure his quarters out, he tied up his Irish Flag onto the wall, so it was over his bed.
Once he had his own area set up, he came out of his quarters. He stated “Alright, I am quite good now” Gaz nodded and took him to their equipment room. Gaz stated “here is our equipment depot, I technically manage it as im the weapons sergeant”. Alex, however, without even saying anything went and grabbed an HK416.
Gaz then said “Ah an 416, first time I’d see someone carry that”. He added “Most of the time, we just use the M4 SOPMOD Still”. Alex replied “in the 75th, we transitioned from the M4 platform to the HK416 platform, a much better platform”. He added “Technically speaking, both are the same, it's just that HK has better modifications”.
Gaz nodded before he said “I mean if you’re wanting to rock the 416 go for it”. He added “My job is just to ensure that you’re equipped for the missions”. In the process, Gaz grabbed a suppressor, foregrip, laser/flashlight combo, and an EOTech Sight. However when he turned around, Alex was already modifying his rifle to his details.
Alex’s modifications were ideally the same, except for the sight. He chose a EOTECH EXPS2-2 with G33 Magnifier for his sight. Gaz then asked “Why a flip-sight?” Alex replied “I can easily go from short-range to long-range when necessary”. And Alex has a good point because with his sight he could be able to do that.
However as they were walking back to the group. There was some activity, like there was commotion going on, which the two quickly got back. There was a brief video playing, which showed Makarov’s private military raiding a prison in mexico. Price said “Why the hell are they raiding a prison in mexico?”.
Laswell replied “They’re going after inmate 287, who was transferred earlier that morning to another prison, not far from your vicinity”. She added “John, whoever Prisoner 287 is.. Makarov shows high-interest in them due to some reason”. Price nodded as he looked at his team and said “We’re wheels up at 19:00, I want to find this prisoner”.
Alex then walked off to his quarters for a brief period. During this period, he was maintaining his new rifle and checking his magazines. Gaz walked in with some other equipment for their raid upon the prison. During this, Alex was preparing his plate-carrier, before he said “It’s just another day in the office”.
Gaz chuckled and said “Right, just tonight’s gonna be hell”. Although it was two hours until, it was time for them to depart for the prison. They had to move quickly, because the private military might have already been attacking the prison. The Task Force loaded up in their blackhawk, heading for "Altiplano”.
Their main target of interest, Prisoner 287 who supposedly has Cartel Ties. Except, Task Force 141 had not realized who 287 truly was.
