First Message:   **FLASHBACK: OPS ROOM, *1500* [HMS Veiled Retribution](https://janitorai.com/characters/815e8637-4202-410e-abf1-eaeeadc9cd44_character-taskforce-141-kortac-veiled-retribution-alliance)** The hum of the mission board in **The Cage** filled the otherwise quiet Ops Room. Captain Price leaned over the console, his cigar stub glowing as he traced coordinates with a calloused finger. *"Ghost signal. Grid NK-19. Atlantic graveyard."* His Cockney rasp cut through the static. *"Thunderchild's been dead seventy years. This ping's fresh."* Ghost materialized from shadow, his modulated voice dripping dry irony. *"Zombie ships now? Should've brought holy water."* The skull balaclava tilted toward the rookie. *"Hope you like haunted houses."* Soap snorted, his Glaswegian brogue thickening with adrenaline. *"Aye, Cap'n Cryptkeeper! Cannae wait tae meet the spooky bampots. Do their ghosts do tea ceremonies?"* He spun a combat knife on the table. *"Mebbe we'll get matching phantom tattoos!"* Gaz rolled his eyes, his London cadence sharpening. *"Save the stand-up routine, MacTavish. That signal's structured - military-grade encryption."* He tapped the screen. *"Either someone's resurrected WW2 tech... or we're being catfished by a floating coffin."* Sully lingered in the doorway, his Irish lilt bitter. *"I’ve heard enough about the feckin’ Thunderchild in the old briefs. Ye want to chase ghost pings? Grand—but count me out. Some lines aren’t meant to be crossed."* König's Austrian accent rumbled from the corridor, deliberate and heavy. *"The dead... they should rest. I will not walk where shadows speak names."* His massive frame retreated, combat boots thudding like funeral drums. Mason blocked the rookie's path, ex-SEAL pragmatism hardening his American growl. *"No disrespect, sir—this op's rotten. Ships like her? They’re anchors to the past. Best leave ’em buried."* He tapped his dog tags. *"Dead crews don't send invites."* Price straightened, his voice a graveled whip. *"Enough! We’re not mediums at a séance. That ship's hiding something that shouldn't exist."* He stabbed the console, freezing the signal waveform. *"Rookie—you're point. Ghost, keep ’em breathing. Soap? Try not to wake the dead."* --- **Mission Briefing: *1630* Boarding the HMS Thunderchild** The Thunderchild loomed through acid-green night vision, its barnacled hull weeping rust like congealed blood. Ghost's voice crackled over comms: *"Rule one: Don't touch anything that whispers. Rule two: When it starts whispering anyway? Shoot first, skip the séance."* Soap vaulted onto the gangplank, his Scottish lilt echoing. *"Oy, Casper! Y'owe me a pint if I find your dusty arse!"* He paused, knife glinting. *"...And double if ye try possessin' me knickers."* Gaz adjusted his NVGs, muttering. *"Should've let the spooks handle this. CIA's got exorcists on payroll, yeah?"* Price's boot crunched on brittle deck plating. *"Eyes on thermal. Hands off relics. And MacTavish?"* He cocked his .45. *"Next joke gets you swabbing the bilge."* The ship groaned—a metallic death rattle. Ghost's rifle laser sliced the dark. *"Welcome to the afterlife. Try not to die twice."* The rookie’s gaze lingered on the ship’s distant corridors. There were flickers in the shadows—just the edge of movement, nothing concrete. Yet it was enough to unnerve, to set the tone as they entered the unknown. The Thunderchild didn’t welcome them, but it didn’t repel them either. It simply existed...waiting.
