Cutscene
THREE DAYS LATER

A view of a bridge with tall trees in the fog is seen.

Case: "Bishop takes Rook". Of course Woods and Riley knew what it meant. Adler was pointing us somewhere: the Black Sea.

A van and pickup truck carrying a motorcycle are seen driving across the bridge.

Case: According to Woods and Riley, fifteen years ago Woods, Nomad (Harry) Mason, Adler and the original Ghost team discovered an abandoned KGB safehouse in Bulgaria. It was called "The Rook".

The vehicles drive towards a building.

Case: Last year, before Adler disappeared, he'd been chasing rumors of a dangerous paramilitary group. One receiving orders from inside the CIA.

The vehicles stop and Marshall with Case and Ghost team exits with their guns.

Case: He believed the Pantheon was developing a new type of weapon.

The group goes inside and checks the building.

Case: With plans to unleash something the world had never seen before. And wouldn't you know it. Soon, evidence surfaced incriminating Adler himself, and he fled...

Case, Frostbite and Marshall with his black light found and follow the footprints to a dead end.

Case: To this place. What we've found here over the last couple days has changed everything.

Woods push the bottom of a painting as the wall opens and reveal a hidden safe room.

Case: Now I'm questioning what I'd believe about Adler, about Livingstone, about the CIA itself. I have my doubts about going dark on Jane.

Case is outside, writing on his book.

Case: Riley might be right about her value on the inside, but she'll be in the crosshairs if Langley learns what we're up to. Adler brought us here for a reason: to stop the Pantheon before they strike.

Woods took some binders to a desk before the scene switches over to Marshall as he observes the view before heading back inside.

Case: To do that, Woods believes we'll need him back. That won't be easy. But Adler left some names to follow. It's a good place to start.

The scene shows "The Rook" safehouse before the screen fades to black.

Gameplay
The Rook: Arrival

William "Case" Calderon
Burgas Province, Bulgaria
January 29, 1991 - 7:32 EET

Nomad: No more wastin' time. Everyone knows the plan.

Frostbite hands Case a photo of:

Frostbite: Sevati Dumas, the person Case gonna meet. Still no idea why Adler was in contact with her, but a lead's a lead.

Case: Gotta say, it's gonna suck not you doing this mission with me.

Frostbite: I know but we got our parts to play. Now we gotta play them right.

Specter: Amen to that my brother

Woods: We can't trust her. I doubt if Adler did. Hell, for all we know she's part of this fuckin' Pantheon thing.

Marshall: Who can we trust? Dumas agreed to meet Case in Avalon, so we're doin' this.

Marshall walks into the safe room.

Riley: Well, well, well. Look at you, puttin' your big boy pants on. Shouldn't we find Adler before makin' this call?

Nomad: Well that's exactly why me and my team are going to meet with a SAS officer and Troy is goin' to Munich to wine and dine your old friend.

Woods: Friend? Pfft, hardly. I can't stand the son of a bitch, but we need him. Sometimes you just gotta hold your nose.

Marshall: If he's as good as you say he is, by the time Case and Nomad and her team gets back we'll have located Adler.

Jade: If Livingstone hasn't already stuffed him in a barrel.

Marshall: Op details are up on the board, Case. Nomad we should be heading out soon, so hit us up soon if you need anything.

Nomad: (To the ghost team) Alright guys, we're heading out in Five, get everything ready.

Marshall, Nomad and Ghost team walks out of the safe room and while Woods heads over to a desk near the safe room's entrance and Riley heads to the desk.

Woods: I've got a few ideas on how we can polish this turd of a safehouse, Case. Let's talk when you have a minute.

Case: Sure Woods.

Case goes up to Nomad and talks to her.

Nomad: Hey, what's up?

Case: Hey, so what information do you have on the person you and your team is meeting?

Nomad: Her name is Sofia De Luca, Call sign "Phantom". There's not like a lot of information on her just that her parents are both immigrants getting from the Mafia. Couple years later she joined the British Special Forces at the age of 21 and became their top Stealth operative.

Case: Sounds intense,Wonder why Adler would get help from a SAS operator?

Nomad: Probably to do with the pantheon but they both know a person, Helen park, her and Adler "history" with each other plus with Sofia's records, I'm surprised she hasn't been recruited to the Ghost team.

Case: Now on to something personal, Do you think Adler had something to do with your brother being killed?

Nomad: (Sigh) To be honest, I don't know anymore, with Langley being a suspect and Pantheon, it's hard to know who really got killed my brother, it may have been Adler or Hudson but I do know that when I find that person or Mendez they're both are gonna suffer.

Jade: (Caring her bags) Hey boss, It's time to go.

Nomad: Alright. See you soon case. Okay guys! Load up!

Frostbite: (Bro hugs Case) Later dog.

Case: Later man.

As The rest leave, it was only Riley, Woods and Case left in the Rook and Case goes up to woods and talks to him.

Case: Alright Woods, what you got?

Woods: All right. What kind of life savings you got?

Case: Uhh probably with the way things are going, probably never seeing a bank account again.

Woods: Thatta boy. Carpe fuckin' diem. Well, guess what - if we're really doin' this we've gotta get "financially creative".

Case: what do you have in mind?

Woods: This place might've been fine for Adler, but for a team? I'm thinkin' overhaul. An armory, place to train, gear bench, not to mention anything else we might end up needin'. It sure as hell won't be free though.

Case: We'll how much Do we have left?

Woods: Marshall found a few grand stashed in one of the rooms upstairs. Other than that we're startin' fresh. No touchin' our own bank accounts either - someone'll be watchin'. When you're on a mission, look around for any cash lyin' around. You're gonna Robin Hood your way through this: steal from the rich and give to the poor. That's me.

Case: Always wanna bee a Robin Hood. Alright. Later woods.

Woods: The board behind me is how we'll track on our spending. Give it a look.

After talking with Woods, Case heads over and interact with the Aquisition Desk.

Woods: Just tell me where you want to spend the cash, and I'll set it up.

Case continues to look at the board then fades to black.
