M13B: Kinda reminds me that name after Millenium Falcon...

Millenium: Quiet... anyway, do you know why I gather you all here?

Alex: Yeah, are we on the middle of war?

Millenium: No, today were in the middle of the Outbreak.

S T-Doll groans, learning the outbreak was coming against, also Aiden, Alex and Juan who were also groans because of that. Since 2067, the outbreak of Cryptid took place from 2017 to 2067. And now this Outbreak was new beginning.

Aiden: Sir, you seriously right now... but we already fought those Cryptids.

Yuri: Not any creatures Aiden...

Yuri alongside Konni team enters, Polina and Tasha, 404 Squad surprised to see Yuri and his S T-Doll.

Tasha: Yuri?!

Tash rushed to Yuri and hugged him.

UMP45: What are you doing here?

Yuri: You see I'm also part of the factions.

ISO Hermlock: *grins* Yeah, me Broadside, SP-X 80 and Juggernaut were part of us.

RAAL MG: *sigh* Hermlock, stop calling me Jauggernaut.

KV Broadside: Oh come on, Comrade... your big and strong, and fear against the soldiers than AK-15.

AK-15: HEY!

AK-15 jealous of Broadside saying RAAL MG is the strongest than AK-15.

Yuri: That's enough Dimitri.

The Konni team went to their seat as Millenium spoke.

Millenium: As I say, we were on the verge of Outbreak, this outbreak took place in Germany, Augusburg.

The hologram map shows the Augusburg was set up a Quarantine zone, and walls were set around the Augusburg.

Millenium: The city was under Quarantine zone, because one of our patrols discovered all the civilians had been turned.

Angelia: What do you mean turned?

Millenium: About what happened, Romy, send us a video records from the battle last night before we set up Quarantine.

The video was played, shows a Stasi operator agent, engaging the unknown PMC, they heard was a British English shouting to their comrades, and suddenly, everyone in the room saw something throw was a vital, inside was a strange purple essence, hit the group causing to create a purple smoke, Stasi operator put on his mask and runs to the bin with the other who put their masked. He opened the lid and shows something happened to other Stasi agent followed by Polizei and Special Forces...

The other Stasi agent, polizei and Special Forces turning into a living being as zombies...

Everyone in the room shocked and scared to see the people were turning into zombies, they felt that wasn't the ELID, but something that coming from Vital.

Kastov 762: Oh my god...

UMP9: 45, I'm scared!

UMP9 hugged UMP45 because she saw them turning into zombies.

AN-94: What did they turned into?

Millenium: Ladies and Gentlemen, your about to witnessed that wasn't ELID, that purple gas appeared be from the old record from WW2, to Cold War and Modern Warfare in human history.

Angelia: Purple Gas...

Agent Q: Millenium, who throw that vital thing at the street that made our agent turned?

Millenium: *sigh* As for you people, your not gonna like this. Simon.

Simon looked on his tablet, zoom in the picture, and rephrase the frame, revealing the man who somehow did in Verdansk, was none other than... Vladimir Zahkaev.

Aiden: Zahkaev

Kastov 762: The hell! I say Price tossed in off in the edge nuclear bunker! 

Millenium: Well personally yes, how he's still alive? Well, you didn't noticed there's a water at the bottom of the bunker?

Kastov 762: *sarcastic* Ohhhh, right, he survived in the water at the end of bottom, like second of all, he supposed to be dead!

Millenium: Your gonna make mistake...

Angelia: That's not impossible, if Zakhaev survived, how did he aligned with PMC, I thought the EC was dismantle.

Millenium: Well because, Zakhaev is hiring the PMC from UK. They called Themselves White Forest

Millenium shows a logo that the team recovered at the site where they rescue remaining Stasi agents.

All: White Forest?

Millenium: They are among the largest PMC, followed by GnK before it destroyed result of dismantle, Shadow Company and the G.H.O.S.T.

Aiden: Oh great, another challenger in London, *sarcastic* What does the king do with the White Forest?

Millenium: Well... London didn't support White Forest, because they are among the dangerous PMC, due to stolen URNC weapons and armory. The White Forest is led by the British Veteran od WWIII, Gregory Marcell.

Tempus Razorback: Wait, I recognized him...

LM-S: You know him?

Tempus Razorback: Me, Tyr and rest of Ranger regiment fought alongside British Regiment led by Gregory Marcell in Germany during the World War III.

MG3: Whats with you and Marcell?

Tempus Razorback: Well... its kinda long story war back then...

Sakin MG38: So, Millenium sir, *concern* why did White Forest doing here in Augusburg?

Millenium: Because the White Forest, are after the purple crystal, so called Dark Aether.

All: Dark Aether?

Negev: What kind of name is that?

Millenium: Well Dark Aether is a crystal, according to that Dark Aether, that originally from Cold War and WWII. Which is led of the secret conflict with Requiem and Omega group.

Aiden: Requiem?

Angelia: Omega group?

Millenium: They are two organization from West and Soviet Union in Cold War. This is the record from Weaver's contact her name is Maxis.

Yuri: Maxis?

Millenium: Maxis you know her, she knows about the dark Aether, anyway, the video will show you about old records. Simon.

Simon presses the tablet of the video, Millenium manages to insert the VHS player to record in the tablet, and everyone watched as Soviet fireteam marching in an unknown location plays.

Angelia: Soviets... where you get this?

Millenium: In Cold War, Maxis got a friend from KGB well late friend.

Cecelia: A German have Russian friends?

Millenium: Yeah... some of us do.

The Soviets notice a sign on the wall stating "Projekt Endstation" as they continue onward. 

Agent K: Projekt Endstation?

Millenium: They are the Nazi Research Program during the WWII, it is kept secret during the war.

Agent J: I heard rumors back in Cold War when Stasi heard about the Project Endstation somehow disappeared and destroyed.

Millenium: That was Strike team led by Requiems, they are preventing the Outbreak.

The shot on the tape transitions to a Geiger counter going off as the troops motion for everyone else to come closer. 

Polina: What was something they're doing here? Is it the radiation?

Millenium: No... 

They are approaching a giant machine with a dark, purple essence surrounding it as groans can be heard.

Helian: What the hell is that?

Millenium: That is Die Maschine.

The Soviet troops turn to their as they hear the groans getting louder.

A Soviet soldier approaches a figure in a Nazi uniform whilst holding a pistol in hand. The Soviet places his hand on figure's shoulder, as the figure turns around, revealing itself to be a Zombie while proceeding to attack and kill the Soviet. More zombies begin to attack the soldiers as the cameraman begins to back away.

All the room horrified seeing zombies attacking soldiers.

Lachmann-556: *horrified* What the fuck...

HK416: *shockeD* Oh My *hugged him*

Lachmann-556: There... there... just deep breath.

Angelia II: *horrified* Oh my god...

Polina: *horrified* They kill the soldiers.

Yosef: *horrified* This can't be right... those aren't humans.

The slaughter continues as the cameraman pulls out a pistol and begins to fire at the Zombie before running out of ammo and being charged at by a Zombie. The camera drops to the ground, the lens cracking as everyone looks at the footage in awe.

Simon: They killed entire Soviet soldiers...

Millenium: This is the next part was shot one week later.

The next plays, with a larger group of Soviets surveying the area, gathering supplies and investigating. The scene transitions to two Soviets hauling and throwing the corpse of a Zombie onto an even larger pile of corpses.

Yosef: It's a clean-up crew.

Agent K: There trying to prevent diseases.

The Soviets set the pile of dead bodies on fire, the scene then cutting to a Soviet officer rewarding a soldier in a gas-mask with a medal, shaking his hand as the two look at the camera.

Agent J: Poor bastard.

The man in the gas mask prepares his rifle as he goes into the building. The door close behind him as the others seal off the door.

Simon: They tried to bury it.

Millenium: And that exactly happens, Omega Group use this facility to use Aether as weapons. The Requiem authorized Operation Cerberus. They're mission is to investigate the facility and seal the gateway to the Dark Aether.  The Strike team met the Megaton overlord and someone this megaton is Lt. Orlov. He assists them to shutting down the Cyclotron to the Dark Aether. Orlov then sacrifices himself to destroy the facility asking them to tell his wife and his daughter.

Angelia II: Lt. Orlov, the member of Omega Group research group?

Yuri: Da, Orlov, was nothing did he turned into monster, now he knew Omega Group use him as a bait.

Polina: Poor guy.

Millenium: After Operation Lost Property, Operation FireBase Z begun, we manage to record of conversation of Maxis here...

The video played but only audio, when they heard a door opened.

Maxis: Weaver.

Weaver: Hello, Sam.

Kastov 762: That's Weaver!

UMP45: KV Inhibitor?

Yuri: Niet. His original host.

Angelia II: *curious* Original host.

Aiden: Special Agent Grigori Weaver of the CIA. He and Jason Hudson help Alex Mason to hunt down Nikita Dragovich, his allies and stop Project Nova. 

Maxis: You look serious?

Weaver: My colleagues tell me you've not exactly been cooperative, or forthcoming. Instead, you've been evasive... obtuse, even.

Maxis: Ain't that just like me?

Weaver: This isn't a joke, Sam. I'm worried about you. We all are.

Maxis: After what I've been through - do you honestly think I'm joking?!

Weaver: Sam.

Maxis: I thought I'd died and gone to Hell. I thought everything and everyone I knew was gone forever.

Weaver: You've been to Hell before though, Sam. We both have. I was never going to leave you die.

Maxis: Like you did the boy?

Weaver: That's not fair, Sam. That was different situation. We both did what we could. 

Maxis: But not enough. He's still dead, isn't he?

Weaver: I can see you're agitated, so I'm going to let you get some rest. I hope you feel better soon. I don't to upset you.

Maxis: Why? Are you worried I'll destroy everything like you think I did at Outpost 25?! Weaver!

audio end

LM-S: Why is she angry about the man think he's dead?

Millenium: Well the man you prefer was director of Requiem.

FARA-83: I don't get it, why Maxis hated director?

Millenium: Because there's only one thing out.

He pressed the audio with interrogation between director and Maxis.

The Director: Wake up. Wake up!

Maxis: Where am I? Where is Notso?

The Director: You will answer our questions. Do you understand?

Maxis: Who the hell are you?

The Director: That's not important. What's important is who you are. What's your name?

Maxis: Fuck you!

The Director: Where were you born?

Maxis: Kiss my ass!

Maxis is electrified.

Maxis: AARRRGH!!!!!

The group recognized those phrases, just like Alex Mason and FTac Recon who were interrogated.

Jack: I recognized those catch phrases.

The Director: Your name is Samantha Maxis. You were born in Berlin November 5th Is that correct?

Maxis is electrocuted.

The Director: Is that correct?

Maxis: I don't know... Everything is different now.

The Director: Oh, I know that better than you...

Maxis: Where. Am. I?

The Director: You're in Block 8! A facility specially designed to take care of... people like you.

Maxis: Take care of? People like me?

The Director: You are here to undergo some... 'Specialized tests'.

Maxis: What kind of tests?

The Director: You'll find out. Soon enough. The Dark Aether changed you in many ways. I just need to know how much...

Maxis: You don't know anything about me.

Maxis is electrocuted yet again.

The Director: Really? I think you're going to be very surprised....

video end

Everyone could recognize those catch phrase since Jack Mason Interrogate FTac Recon since his brainwash. 

Vargo 52: I couldn't imagine if Recon with us, it would remember that time he did.

Jack: Yeah... I tried interrogating him back then.

Millenium: After this conflict, the director then shut down the requiem and arrested Requiem's Senior Staff: Grey, Carver, Strauss, Weaver, Raptor One and Strike team.

Everyone surprised, about their director arrested Senior Staff and Strike Team which led the shutdown of Requiem.

UMP45: *shocked* They arrested?! Why?

Millenium: I don't know, I asked someone about Requiem director of why he shut down. It's unknown for sure.

Tasha: So since Requiem shut down, about his office and his belongings?

Millenium: Well my father was part of Agent went to find Director

Flashback in 1987

His father arrived at Director's office, when he arrived, he saw empty desk.

Millenium: *voiceover* My father was a general, he went to have talk with Director, he's gone, leaving his empty desk.

His father noticed something that director forgot to turn off the screen.

Millenium: *voiceover* Notice someone on the screen, it has a list of Directors plan.

Aiden: *voiceover* What kind of plan?

Millenium: *voiceover* Is about PROJECT JANUS.

HK416: Project Janus.

Millenium: I have no idea, what is Project JANUS, but this was Director's plan. my father attempted to find him, but his wareabout remain unknown.

Dario: So that why Project JANUS is important. But you know I heard about Project JANUS. It was name after the roman god, Janus god of beginnings, duality and endings.

Yuri: So Project Janus is name after the god Janus himself.

Millenium simply nodded

Millenium: Yeah, whatever director up to Project Janus is, it could be connections to the dark Aether.

Aiden: So, any else?

Millenium: *regain control* Alright, lets start the operations.

The hologram map activates of map of Augusburg which is isolated.

Millenium: Doctor Farrel, will be heard to analyse the outbreak zones.

Burno: *fake cough* Okay, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Doctor Burno Farrel, so I'm here to discuss about the outbreaks zone.

Meanwhile

Maxwell checks every dossier list of files of old Requiem team members on his tablet.

including Operation deadbolt members.

While looking each name, a door opened seeing staff peak in.

Staff 1: Umm sir, there's someone need to speak to you.

Maxwell: Go ahead and let someone inside.

The staff left, the man walked in the room, it appears wearing to be a man in mid-30, this man looks similar to Ravenov features.

Maxwell: What's your name?

Maxim: I'm Maxim Karkhivov. I'm a former URNC Commando.

Maxwell: *concern* A URNC, what are you doing here?

Maxim: Well, I'm officially retired after three years in service. *noticed on the tablet*

Maxim noticed a man on the picture, that was Ravenov, former Omega group and Operation deadbolt.

Maxim: I never thought Ravenov was a man.

Maxwell: *curious* How did you know?

Maxim: Well my grandfather knows him. He was part of Requiem. Am I correct?

Maxwell: *sigh* Yeah.

Maxim: I heard about the Outbreak incident between 20th Century to 21st, what happened to them?

Maxwell looked at the pictures of members of Requiem and members of Operation Deadbolt.

Maxwell: From reports on the files, Maxis sacrificed herself to end the outbreak. They vowed they would find a way to rescue her.

Maxim: You mean the former Requiem Senior staff? 

Maxwell: Yes, Weaver, Caver, Strauss, Grey, Raptor 01, and the three of them of course. By the time they fail.

Maxim: Why did they failed to rescue Maxis?

Maxwell: Because they took very hard to rescue her, but they don't they never let this happened.

Maxim: So your what happens then?

Maxwell: They exposed to the Dark Aether, and eventually died, only two survivors, Raptor 1 and Ravenov, they are the two survivors. In 2021, Operation deadbolt happened, Ravenov took part in Operations, example rescue the woman name Ava Jansen, prevent Dark Aether and fought of the Entity.

Maxim: So happened to the two?

Maxwell: Unknown, of what CIA happened to both during both Operations. It hard to say... we would talked about Outbreak containment.

Maxim: Alright, because the reason why I was there, because I want to know about the Outbreaks.

Maxwell: *curious* Why?

Maxim: Last thing during scouting in Augusburg, I felt something in my head. I heard a voice, talking to me. When I regain my control, suddenly, a giant beast monster shows up, attacking AX-03 and so my units get bitten and the rest devoured. Because I know CIA, did in the Operation in Outbreak. Because I was the last victim of this attack. 

Maxwell: So you want to join the Operation?

Maxim: Yes, I was been waiting for this... I want to find answers because my head keeps hearing me.

Maxwell put his finger on his chin thinking, he then looked up at Maxim.

Maxwell: Very well... *offer a handshake* Welcome to Operation Kraut deadzone.

Maxim smiles and he accepted the handshakes, when Maxim left, Maxwell sits down and looked at the tablet starring at Ravenov and Ava Jansen.

Maxwell: *sigh* Well Maxim, your parents would be... very... *smirk* very proud of you.

to be continued.
