"Every time I look at you, I see him. I don't see Ghost, the stone cold killer that is feared by every single soldier I've met. I see the hurt and broken man that created this character in order to survive the things he went through. To shut people out and push people away so they don't get scared of what they see." ○●○●○●○● Sgt. Ellie Collins knows numerous languages and is a hell of a sniper, which is why she got a call from her best friend Soap to help fireteam 141 with a mission. Her ability to speak so many languages quickly earned her respect amongst the team, save for one. Simon "Ghost" Riley. A man feared by any who dared face him, and someone Ellie could not crack. As a mission goes wrong and Ellie is left injured, she has to figure out how to get help to get back home.
