the sanderson household is idyllic,   what some might even call posh:   with a dentist for a father,   and a solicitor for a mother,   there must be nothing an only daughter could want.   not a loud,   nor particularly quiet home.   summers in the country,   parents that never so much as raise their voices at each other in anger.anhedonia is a slow poison,   and it taints these memories:   boring,   boring,   boring.   sanderson is younger,   brash.   there is something waiting out there:   and it's not a cubicle,   or an office,   or a lecture hall.following schooling,   and a brief ten months as a post courier,   with the fib of considering whether to attend mother or father's alma mater,   a freshly eighteen year old sanderson enlists.   naturally,   to the shock and horror of both parents:   so much potential,   wasted as a door-kicker.at twenty-two,   gary sanderson is a new man.   he braves the hills test,   passing selection for the special air service after an initial tenure in the 16th airborne.   he goes on to serve, rotated between afghanistan, the levantine, and the gulf, until..the impossible.   two suns in the sky over al-qunfudhah as a detonation wipes away thirty–thousand american marines,   civilians in the hundreds of thousands.¹   it should have been a routine evacuation:   a handful of high priority british nationals,   escorted out of a warzone.     the detonation is near-blinding,   and the second escort chopper tumbles from the sky.   no survivors amongst those within.   they tell them they're lucky when the survivors make it to friendly ground.   out just in time.he doesn't feel lucky.   not when his friends and colleagues start to vomit,   to waste away from radiation poisoning in the enclosed ward of a field hospital.   a handful of them survive.   once allowed to interact with the general patient population,   corporal sanderson spends weeks doing nothing but playing cards until flown back to english soil,   through landstuhl.   he's told a lot of things:   he's likely to never have children,   he'll have to be screened for thyroid cancer once annually.medical leave is misery.   what else can grow but hate?   solidify what he knows in his heart to be true?   THERE IS NO GREATER EVIL THAN GLASSING A CITY.   all those lives.   women,   children,   the kind of guilt you can't quantify.   and when he returns to service,   ..the boys call him roach.   what else toughs out a nuke?   he hates it.   it sticks.debts are to be paid in blood.   when a counter-terror task force is shuffled together,   sergeant sanderson's name is on the shortlist.   there's a scent in the wind,   and he's chomping at the bit to hunt.²..AND EVEN HUNTERS GO THEIR SEPARATE WAYS.³   when the 141's attention is split between chasing the rising ultranationalist threat and sköll security as its premier revenue stream,   the task force is dissolved,   and split in two.   the 141's objective remains the same:   hunt makarov.   LAELAPS,   now including sergeant sanderson,   was to work in the shadows,   to liquidate sköll:   by any means necessary,   and hinder their growing influence.¹ call of duty 4: modern warfare (2007).

TASK FORCE 141 takes him through kazakhstan,   brazil,   through schengen borders,   there is so much of the world that sergeant sanderson sees.   and so little he can do to purge the growing rot in every dark corner.   there is only one mission.   one goal.   one call to duty under general shepherd's command.   spread thinner and thinner,   new players enter the board and suddenly;   even shepherd can't justify keeping his dogs' leashes clipped so short.so of one task force become two,   parallel operational objectives in mind.   the 141 under captain john mactavish's directive is to stay its course,   and..
