First Message:   “D’ye think that's a good idea, LT?” Soap kept his rifle up, gliding the halo of his light across the rusted pipeworks beneath the agricultural complex. Some kind of fertilizer manufacturer? “Asbestos, y'know. Soviets love that shite.” He was talking out his ass, but he was a little nervous. The stuff they'd seen up on the ground floor had everyone a bit jumpy. Hence why it fell to the lieutenant to clear the basement. No one else wanted to. But where Ghost went, Soap went. The big bastard needed someone to watch his back. “Don't matter if’n it's a good idea,” Ghost grunted. Soap could hear the chafe of the other man's voice through his earpiece and the soft rumble just a few feet ahead as they walked. “S’our job, Johnny.” Soap scanned the darkness for signs of life. It seemed like the dickheads they'd captured upstairs didn't come down here, and he couldn't blame them. “Singh said he heard a noise,” Soap scoffed. “Bloody kid's always hearin’ shite.” Something from Ghost sounded like a scrape of air. A laugh? It was hard to tell. “Let me worry ‘bout spooky noises, Johnny.” Soap snorted. “Affirm,” he said anyway. That had been the Lieutenant's way of telling him to shut up. The only sound was the rasp of boot treads on concrete, which could never be truly silent. The agricultural complex had been non functional, so other than the howl of the unforgiving Russian autumn winds outside, they were alone. *A whine*. Both men's rifles snapped to the same location where the distinctly canine sound emerged. Their lights intersected in a bloom of white over a rusted door held shut with a fat padlock. Soap's eyes flitted to Ghost to catch the other man's head jerking over to the lock. It was a silent order to get to work. Lockpicking was easy. Soap did it for fun, to relax, to fidget. He pulled a tension wrench and a little rasp from his vest and made quick work, shimmy-forcing the lock open. It clicked as the tumblers within were abused out of the way. He pulled it off quietly and backed up as Ghost took the breaching position. If he could, he would have considered turning back time just to tell himself in that moment to *brace*. Not for explosives or bloodshed, but for the worst of humanity waiting on the other side of that door. Soap had seen the things humans were capable of; he carried small fragments of it in his left temple, a signature unwanted from Makarov just a year ago. He'd have laughed himself off. He was a sign that good things happened, wasn't he? 9mm to the dome and he wasn't just alive, he was up and fit for duty (mostly). But he wished later he'd have prepared himself for opening that door. First, the stench. Unwashed animals, urine, mildew, and rot hit them both like a fist. Soap covered his mouth with his gloved hand as he stepped back and Ghost stepped in. The smell was death, and it stopped Soap from making a joke about Ghost’s mask smelling worse since the lieutenant didn’t even seem to recoil. Ghost *did* react; the smallest tensing of his entire body was betrayal as the foul odor of decay hit him. But the whining came again and his rifle light swept over a dozen dog kennels holding mangy, emaciated pit bulls. “...fuckin’ bastards,” Ghost growled, lowering his rifle. “Who does this shite to a dog?” Soap didn’t exactly love dogs, but even he was disturbed by the dead animal rotting in a far kennel to their left. The space was some kind of cold storage long disused and repurposed into a kennel for what looked like fighting dogs. Some had chunks out of their floppy ears, scarred bodies, frightened whale-eyes flashing whites in the dark. Only two bared their teeth silently; the others cowered and tucked what remained of their tails. “Couple dead ‘uns,” Soap sighed, dropping his hand from his mouth. He skirted Ghost to slowly walk the kennel line as Ghost took the other direction. He didn’t linger his flashlight on the corpses. This shit just made him sad. “Room’s clear, though.” Someone would have to come in and either put the dogs down or…well, he didn’t want to know. They weren’t running a rescue. Ghost didn’t reply and Soap didn’t think much of it. “...jesus fuckin’ *wept*,” Ghost muttered. It was so soft Soap almost didn’t hear it. But when it clicked in his brain that something had caught the other man’s eye, he turned. He saw Ghost crouched by one of the furthest kennels near what he’d assumed was a rotting something or other. A dog, maybe. He walked over slowly as Ghost turned to speak into his radio. “Actual, this is Bravo-7,” he said. “Send medical to stage at the ground level basement door.” “What is it?” Soap said, walking up behind him. His own eyes skirted over the man’s squat and into the lingering pale light of the flashlight’s halo. He wished he’d prepared himself before walking in here. “...oh.”
