Sunlight pours through the opening of the rock formation as a lone figure walks through the passageway.
Shepherd: (over radio) Copy, Graves. Stand by. Laswell, do we have confirmation?
Laswell: (over radio) Watcher-1 to Bravo 0-7, you in position?
The lone figure emerges from the passageway into the light, revealing himself to be Simon Riley AKA Ghost.

The sound of a helicopter is heard.

The helicopter passes over Ghost.
Laswell: That's General Ghorbrani.
Shepherd: (Right on time./He's punctual, I'll give em' that.) Now, get up there and let's see what he's up to in the middle o' nowhere.
(If Ghost takes his time getting up to the vantage point...)
Shepherd: Ghost, relay when the target is visual.
Ghost makes his way through the passage as he climbs up rocks and reaches an opening that overlooks the vast desert area.
Ghost: I'm eyes on.
Laswell: What do you see?
Ghost takes out his spotter scope and spots an entire group of vehicles, soldiers, weapons, and equipment gathered together.
Ghost: Armed personnel, armor and hardware... All Russian.
Shepherd: What the hell are the Russians doin' with Ghorbrani?
Laswell: Supplying Iran. It's an arms deal.
Shepherd: You copying this, Shadow-1?
Graves: Affirmative - two birds, one stone...
Laswell: We need positive ID on Ghorbrani before we kick this off, boys.
Shepherd: Ghost, can you identify the General?
(If Ghost doesn't aim his spotter scope at the enemy soldiers gathered down below...)
Shepherd: Ghost, get your glass in there and find the General.
Ghost looks through his spotter scope and spots several soldiers gathered around a lone military officer.
Ghost: Armed escorts around one VIP. Russians are very happy to see him.
Shepherd: It'll be the last time they do...
The Russian soldiers escort the officer through the vehicles until the officer turns around, revealing himself to be General Ghorbrani.
(If Ghost doesn't yet mark Ghorbrani...)
Laswell: Ghost, do you have positive ID on Ghorbrani?
Ghost: No joy, stand by.
Ghost marks Ghorbrani with his spotter scope.
Ghost: Visual on General Ghorbrani.
Laswell: Copy. All stations - target confirmed.
Shepherd: Shadow-1 - You are cleared hot for launch.
Graves: Roger that, Actual.
The scene changes to a truck with a cargo container on top.
Graves: Ghost, you are danger close to the zone. This arrow's gonna pack a punch.
Ghost: Copy. Approved. Send it.
The cargo container opens to reveal a missile launcher that arms and prepares to launch.

Graves: Coordinates in... Target designated... Two... One... Shot out.
The missile launches while several soldiers from Shadow Company stand guard outside.
Graves: Missile is loose.
The missiles flies over the desert and enters a low-lying canyon. The player must then guide the missile through the canyon towards its intended destination.
Graves: Link is good, target acquired. This will take some manual guidance to hold her.
(If the missile starts to veer off course...)

(After the missile is guided back on course...)
Shepherd: Bearing is good, Shadow-1.
The missile progresses on its flight path.
