The Complete Unabridged Timeline of Call of Duty Zombies (World At War - Black Ops 4)

for over a decade the call of duty franchise has always managed to dominate the gaming market while the multiplayer is so iconic it practically defines the shooting genre there is an equally iconic game mode that has built up its own reputation no one would have expected such a simple concept to blossom into something so meaningful adapting the gameplay as well as the story as it grew in both popularity and passion was call of duty zombies while oftentimes to understand and grasp a timeline it is best told through a chronological perspective call of duty zombies timeline

can easily get very confusing and difficult to follow through this method alone to best deliver the most coherent possible series of events i will be using a mixture of both chronological and sequential storytelling to make everything as easy as possible to follow with that said i present you the complete unabridged timeline of call of duty zombies like most stories everything starts at the beginning quite literally in this case the first beings to ever exist in the universe were known as keepers they existed within the ether the ether is simply the name which encompasses the entire

universe as a whole the keepers were unearthly creatures but their intelligence and power was astounding the very first keeper to ever exist simply referred to as the first one created a device known as the summoning key this single device is the oldest artifact in all of creation and allowed the keepers to manipulate the ether with it they created agartha a physical manifestation of the ether itself this place would go by many names paradise the house the place above creation but despite what it was referred to it was a location which exists outside of all known

and unknown universes and simply exists within its own pocket this would be the home of the keepers the first one also used the summoning key to seed life across all other dimensions each dimension with their own quirk but as life goes on with all creation there is destruction the ether didn't come to exist without its complete opposite also being birthed the dark ether serves as the hell to the ether's heaven it is a realm of pure evil capable of corrupting anything that enters it the keepers eventually came to uncover its existence and like most intelligent

beings it was their own curiosity and self-greed which got the best of them here enter two very important figures into the timeline dr monty and the shadow man both of them are keepers however significantly more important than the others the shadow man sought to use the dark ether's power for his own self-benefit and so he ventured into it being his best friend dr monty attempted to stop him however was unsuccessful the dark aether corrupted the shadow man and all of the keepers who were with him the corrupted keepers began to become morphed changing their appearance

and becoming an entirely new entity known as apothecons unlike the keepers the apothicons were given new purpose due to their corruption their sole motivation became to wreak havoc across all of creation they invented the ether pyramid a device which could harness the power of the dark ether and control the ether entirely seeing the danger the apothecons posed the keepers were forced to take action and fight against them this led to a war between the corrupted being led by the shadow man and the uncorrupted being led by dr monty this event would go on to be

known as the war of agartha when all the smoke settled it was the keepers who came out victorious seeing their inevitable defeat the apothecans hid away their ether pyramid on the moon in one of the newly formed universes all of the apothecons were then banished to the dark ether where it was to remain their prison from here dr monty as well as all of the other keepers vowed to be the protectors of all universes guardians of the multiverse never allowing the apothicon's corruption to spread as time passed the apothicons slowly somehow managed to worm its

way out of imprisonment and into creation once more and with it they attacked humanity and earth in this universe the apothicons attacked humanity and keeping true to their promise the keepers once again descended upon earth to fight them off this time the keepers were aided by humanity there was a group of warriors in particular which when banded together they were able to put a stop to the apothicons this event would go down in this universe's history as the great war with that the keepers yet again sealed the apothicons away but similar to last time the

apothicons still had a method of tampering with the multiverses while they themselves were not able to cross back into creation they were capable of sending a specific element this element would widely be known as element 115 with it carried all the chaos and evil of the apothicons with enough exposure to it by simply being in its vicinity it could create what we know as a zombie by sending these elemental meteors to all of the dimensions they were hoping that it would cause enough chaos somewhere to shatter creation itself and by doing so it would inevitably

set them free from their prison once more it is important to note that neither the keepers nor the apothecons can intervene directly with the free will of humanity anything they want them to do they must decide according to their own volition the reason this is relevant is due to a device known as the agarthin device this is yet another artifact which holds unspeakable power the agarthan device is capable of manifesting the user's will into reality like a genie in a bottle it was even capable of putting an end to the conflict between keepers and apothecons

altogether this is why both the keepers and apothecons sought this out however unlike the summoning key which existed since the beginning the agarthan device needs to be crafted it required three things the blood of an apothecon elder god an elemental shard which can only be obtained by binding four souls to the ether through a piece of element 115 and a vessel for everything to contain it and all of that leads us to earth in the original timeline where the apothecons sent divinium meteors to different dimensions in this timeline it was first uncovered by the small

mining town of purgatory point in the year 1885. this story follows a man named jebediah brown when he was only 10 he and his mother moved to purgatory point seeking a new life the two settled in quite well both getting jobs in the local shops for over 40 years there never quite seemed to be anything of note but one day the miners uncovered a mysterious blue rock this was element 115 due to the frequent and direct exposure to it the rock corrupted a miner named clive farnsworth who was turned into a zombie he returned to

the town and killed jebediah's mother viciously ripping out her throat clive was promptly killed by their neighbor and jebediah buried his mother the day's the 14th of april the year of our lord 1885 a day i will hold dear until my last i have done and spent 30 years of my life in purgatory point my mom brought me out here when i was about 10 years young she hoped to give us a chance at a new life they're good folk here in purgatory point i'm sure sometimes they get a little rowdy and maybe we stray

too far from heaven's gaze but uh what do you expect from a frontier mine in town something happened to one of the miners clive farnsworth a good man came by the shop a few times anyway he went down into that mine stayed down there for 10 days when he came back up he was changed they say he was like a feral animal rabid and carnivorous his mind was gone his flesh all sallow and bloody his eyes ablaze in a red light first home he stumbled upon was me and mars i was at the shop at

the time ma went out to meet him and clive he doc said it happened quick clive jumped on her ripped her throat oh bill ran over put two through clive's skull shot him dead like a dog but ma she's been laid to rest now she'll rise up to heaven and bless her soul she'll be greeted with open arms that mine they've been digging for that blue rock some folks say you stare too long you'll find the devil in it i need answers i need to understand what happened i'll head down to that mine tomorrow he

knew something was wrong as word had spread about this blue rock and so he went searching for answers himself he visited the element 115 meteor and upon his interaction with it it forever changed him the corruption had touched him and thus connected him to the ether that night upon his return he had visions from what he perceived as angels in reality these were the keepers they had warned him to prepare for what was coming and were also testing the limits over how much influence they can have over humans their first real test was getting him

to create a machine that could upgrade any weapon put inside of it this was the creation of the very first pack-a-punch machine they guided him in constructing the blueprints and despite not being much of a blacksmith he was successful in the pack-a-punch's creation of april the year of our lord 1885 somehow i don't know how it's possible last i recall i was headed into the mine i swear i was only down there for a few hours but i come back up towns folks say i've been missing for five days then there was last night when

i slept i had a vision two angels came down to me from heaven they told me i needed to be ready to prepare for what was coming and what was coming they would not tell me but how to prepare build a machine they said a machine that will grant you great power now this machine was complex requiring craftsmanship and mechanical skill i did not have i told them such but they said not to worry they would guide my hands the way they described it it sounded like a an oven or a kiln you stick your

rifle inside and when it come back out well let's just say that rifle would pack a serious punch this machine garnered the attention of many locals and visitors alike but most importantly it proved to the keepers that humans could be of use the keepers yet again visited jebediah only this time hoping that he could craft the agarthan device this proved troublesome as he had no means of getting elder god blood nor for souls what he was capable of however was crafting the vessel for which it would be held and that's exactly what he did today's

the 30th of june the year of our lord 1885 my invention is the talk of the town people been coming from far and wide eager for a chance to upgrade their firearm revolver rifle the machine don't care it'll pack them all i pray every night thanking the heavens for sending them to angels i couldn't have done this without their guiding hand they returned to me last night they told me there was another machine they wish me to build they called it the agarthan device said it had the power to grant that which one truly desires

i told them i was their servant show me the path and why i will walk they said i needed three things the blood of an elder god an elemental shard and a metallic vessel to harness and carry both to find the blood they instructed me to travel to the bottom of the ocean i told them this i could not do for i would perish to craft an elemental shard they instructed me to forge four souls with a blue rock from our mind i told them this i could not do for i do not have the

means to siphon a human soul to an element but a metal vessel well i am a blacksmith that that i think i could manage over time the town would fall into ruin due to its close proximity to element 115. the residents became delusional paranoid and even jebediah suffered some side effects as well he became overcome with grief about the loss of his mother and for whatever reason perhaps the simple madness of losing one's mind he dug up his mother's corpse and put it into the pack-a-punch machine this created an unforeseen result her body did not

disappear from the machine as any normal gun would instead an apparition of her appeared in their old house although it was a much younger version from when she died her ghosts would continue to be bound to the house for the foreseeable future the day's the 21st of july a year of our lord 1885 i have a confession i am burdened with sin i fear i am the architect of my own damnation this town this town is cursed the devil himself has possessed our people folk have been acting all kinds of crazy paranoia visions seeing things

that ain't there and the violence seven dead in the last five days sheriff don't know what's gotten into these people but i know it's that damned mind them blue rocks doc believes them to be meteors from the sky from upping the stars maybe from heaven but whatever the cause i fear the disease that consumes this town has gotten to me as well last night i felt overcome with loss and grief i went to see ma the cemetery maybe it was a whiskey maybe it was delirium i can't say but i uh dug her up and

uh took her into town i took her to my shop well i kept the machine i i don't know what came over me like something took control of my body like a puppet on strings i i put her in the machine i don't know why maybe baby would bring her back to me but she vanished nothing came back out i stumbled home in a daze but as i arrived i see before my eyes i see an apparition a spirit he looks just like her only when she was younger she floats around the house now i

catch her playing the piano the angels the angels they came back to me again i've built the metal carriage just as they asked only one thing left to do now upgraded with my machine seeing his purpose as having been fulfilled and the steady decline of his well-being the keepers instructed him one last task to put the vessel he crafted into the pack-a-punch machine which he did such energy mixing with each other wound up teleporting purgatory point beneath the surface of the earth all the way in angola africa following this the town was completely overrun by

zombies and jebediah is killed today is the 22nd of july the year of our lord 1885 we are truly lost this town these people we are being punished by heaven for our transgressions and now must suffer the righteous hand of retribution i did as they asked i put the metal vessel in the pack-a-punch machine just as instructed next thing i know all the energy all the power of the world gets sucked out of the air as if pulled inside the machine next thing the world went wide i came to and i see that i my

shop all the people the whole damn town has been transported as if willed by the lord into this cavern buried below the surface of the earth i fear we are at the threshold of hell the world just waiting to open below our feet we've been overrun by the devil's army the dead have risen and now do us in battle my name is jebediah brown and i bow humbly before the two angels and ask for forgiveness show us the path to salvation we are listening hello the events that transpired here would remain buried for some time

no one would know of the zombies or element 115. all that was left were remnants of a once forgotten mining town the setting and time frame for everything that's about to happen is world war ii nazi germany the events that happened in the real world are very much the backdrop for everything going on around it world leaders and military alliances all still apply for this story we are largely following the side of the germans the next character to uncover element 115's existence was a doctor named ludwig maxis he formed an organization known as group 935

dedicated to this element's research and study among its constituents was edward richthofen dr richtofen is a bonafide sociopath who sees no moral distinction between natural death and plain murder he is a nazi doctor and major general within the axis ranks he was originally at the forefront of torture and information extraction research during the war but when approached to join maxis to research element 115 he joined it is also important to note that richtofen is also part of the illuminati and was working on behalf of their interests when joining group 935 the illuminati's role in the

entire timeline is largely unimpactful and not important the facility they were given was at doris other notable members within the organization included sophia max's personal assistant and lover other accompanying scientists included the likes of dr h porter dr schuster and dr groff there were also two spies who infiltrated the organization as well despite being kept under wraps the oss caught wind of this new project and infiltrated the group in attempts to learn more these included two americans named peter mccain and later dr jarvina years after maxis's discovery the japanese army also discovered deposits of 115

in the swamp they established the rising sun facility and similarly created a group to research it known as division ix in the early days of group 935's formation it was solely dedicated to element 115's research and the concept of bettering the human condition gentlemen allow me to take this opportunity to welcome you to group 935 this is a prestigious moment in the history of our race you represent the future of technological advancement you are the pioneers of human discoverable in your hands lies the destiny of mankind in our hands is a great power and with

that power comes a price you have volunteered to be part of this great experiment and with that decision comes the responsibility of absolute secrecy no one is to know what you do where you work what our research has uncovered or what our purpose will be you will have no further contact with your governments or with your families your decision to fully dedicate your lives to group 9300 is absolute in your lockers you will find your field ops manual which will direct you should our manifesto get compromised we cannot afford to let this power fall into

the wrong hands and therefore the field ops manual should be considered your bible make your preparations now a new dawn is beginning for mankind much of its time and effort went into building the matter transference device a teleportation device developed by element 115 though experiments with this would be largely unsuccessful attempts were made right out of the gate by teleporting human corpses but they would always be reduced to slop if the teleporter didn't immediately maim the subject then they simply vanished without a trace but the two stumbled upon a miracle during one of their teleportation

tests the corpse was brought back to life while the teleportation was a failure this was a whole new avenue for further research they learned element 115 had the ability to re-animate the dead and so maxis sought to find a way to control them but this was an especially difficult task as the zombies were always disobeying his commands maxis almost completely shifted his attention from teleportation over to the undead richthofen continued on with the help of dr shuster over the next few months the two scaled down their testing size from human teleportation down to a walnut

and for the first time they successfully teleported an item as intended log entry 38 date december 4 1939 the matter transference prototype is prepared for test run number 151 we have now reduced our test subject's mass to prove that this is possible dr schuster please give an overview yes dr richtofen we have the new test subject a walnut weighing in at 10 grams the target platform is now three feet with no obstructions we have one microgram of the element which according to our calculations will be entirely used up during tests excellent dr schuster commence test

number 151 yes doctor please insert your earplugs good god we've done it we have powered up the prototype and have moved a walnut directly from the prototype device into the receiving device it moved instantly it it teleported gets me dr maxis immediately maxis wasn't too pleased as he had instructed them to research the undead but he was more upset for a different reason over time group 935 ran into financial problems and they needed someone who was willing to fund their research and developments this is where maxis struck a deal with the nazi party they were

willing to fund group 935 and allow them to continue their research so long as they developed weapons for them which maxis agreed to but this is not the crucial experiments that you are supposed to be working on with all due respect dr maxis this is a breakthrough of unimaginable proportions what that you move the wall not a few feet yes edward we will improve the human condition by revolutionizing the walnut industry i can see it now edward's walnut delivery don't be obtuse how dare you call me that we are at war edward i will admit

that there is promise here but until this war is won correct me if i'm wrong dr maxis but group 935 is a research organization what was the motto to improve the human condition what business of ours is for find dr richtofen i will let you in on a little administrative secret we are finalizing a deal with the nazi party we need funding we need equipment they need new weapons chances are this war will end soon for the treaty or two and we will be in a much better position to help the world are you certain

this won't cause massive deflections we have scientists from all over the world working with us that is why it is with the utmost confidence that i share this with you no one will know of this this is simply the breaking of an egg to make an omelet think of the tactical advantage we would have think of the cost think of the time we can provide the nazi's technical expertise in various areas without putting all our eggs in your walnut basket good day edward and get back to your real work bloody jerk i think dr maxis

has lost his perspective no matter they'll do this on our own and publish the findings before he has a chance to you're not suggesting that dr maxis would steal this technology and perfect it without us are you i would by no means discourage that thought great scientists must stick together and achieve great science fortunately for them richtofen had already invented the wonderwaffa dg2 a wonder weapon powered by element 115. to save the hassle of mentioning each individual creation as they happen for the sake of simplicity let's just go through them now the thundergun dg3 was

the successor to the wunderwaffe originally thought up by richtofen but instead created by maxis maxus was also responsible for the jgb also referred to as the shrink ray as well as the original ray gun richthofen also invented the monkey bomb the various other scientists within group 935 had their part as well harvey yina invented the scavenger sniper rifle dr porter invented the successor to the original raygun in the raygun mark ii and likely the mark iii as well he was also responsible for the wavegun pretty much every wonder weapon found within the games were created

by either group 935 directly or similar groups who were doing the same thing later down the timeline this also goes for the perks and elixirs juggernog quick revive speed cola and doubletap were all fused with element 115 for their special effects these inventions would happen over the course of the timeline so just keep that in mind they didn't just all get invented in a few months the nazis were happy to fund them so long as their weapons development teleportation technology and reanimation of the dead were to be used to help them in the war this

is why maxis was so upset over richthofen continuing the teleportation experiments when an undead army would be far more useful but richthofen was surprisingly a man of science he might be a sociopath but he continued to work diligently on human teleportation in fact as time went on he became so confident in the success of the matter transference device that he offered himself to be used as a test subject and this is where you can really say richtofen's story begins entry 42 date january 4 1940. dr schuster and i despite mounting pressure from dr maxis i've

continued working on the matter transference prototype we have made great strides in the last 30 days and are ready for our first human subject if our calculations are correct we will send a test subject me to the receptacle station sitting 30 yards away and behind a cinder block wall are you certain you want to do this dr richthofen nein dr schuster but this must be done quickly put in your earplugs and pubs a machined is there a power outage why is it so dark i feel almost weightless how very unexpected hello there they can see

now oh my god i'm standing in a circular cave surrounded by some kind of machinery it's like nothing i've ever seen before it looks almost alien in nature there's a pyramid structure in the center of the room i'm going to try and carefully touch it might be chamber is quite large i see what looks like capacitors in the ceiling of the chamber but there are no obvious connections to anything electrical what is this place dr schuster is that you dr schuster look at this it appears to be covered in some kind of hieroglyphic language i've

not seen anything like it before why are you whispering to me there's no need for that this is loose do you hear that it sounds like my god what happened i seem to be in some kind of junker i can't be certain of where i am he was transported to the moon where he encountered the ether pyramid that was hidden by the apothicons peaked by his curiosity he inspected the device where he was electrocuted and thus the corruption of the dark ether spread unto him he began hearing the many voices of corruption including that of

the shadow man himself these voices told him many things and informed him about much of the alien technology he was slowly driven insane forming an obsession with finding a way to the fabled agartha shortly after becoming corrupted he was then teleported to shangri-la while it was initially shocking finding himself in the middle of a jungle he did meet the residents of the area as well as uncovering more traces of element 115. upon learning this it didn't take him long before he began manipulating them for his own benefit due to the indigenous people's primitive culture richthofen

introduced them to the miracles of modern technology hydropower mining systems electricity richthofen was worshipped as a god in their eyes and this made it easy for him to convince them to mine element 115 for him and they did while here he encountered the focusing stone another elemental rock from the ether which held a unique purpose when combined with something known as the vril device different to the vril vessel one can swap souls with another human being rikht often had an elaborate series of traps built to protect it and once it was done subsequently left shangri-la

with no more guidance the inhabitants with constant exposure to 115 became zombies and died he returned back to darice less than a month later and informed schuster of what he'd witnessed log entry 43 date january 23 1940 i cannot be certain what happened to dr richtofen once the test was commenced he just disappeared from the machine into thin air i have searched the area for days and have no evidence that he is anywhere i am afraid i might have to scrap them done something something wondrous do you hear them dr richtofen you're alive i'm more

than alive mr schuster is the device still intact yes but what happened to you ah something wonderful that chamber that's incredible the wonders we can learn what are you talking about are you all right get in the magic transference prototype dr schuster we have worked bearing witness to the pyramid on the moon he and dr schuster formed a plan to build a base there where it could be further studied the base on the moon would be known as griffin station they used their newly successful teleportation technology to transport workers and supplies many 935 scientists were

happy to join richthofen's cause as they had become disgruntled with maxis's arrangement with the nazis and from here griffin station would continue to be built maxis was completely oblivious to the advancements richthofen and his men were making but that's in part because he had his own problems at the time funding was yet again running out so he had sophia write a letter to reichstag high command informing them of this problem and updating them on the mass production of their weapons sophia this letter is to go to the reichstag high command immediately gentlemen it is with

the utmost urgency that i draw your attention to the lack of funding being injected into the giant project well i believe we are close to realizing the ultimate plan we still have several years of development before it is ready it would be funny to cut our expenditures so early in our development as you know early tests on the dg2 have easily outperformed expectations and we fully anticipate mass producing the wonder of offer within the next few years work on the matter transference has however come to a standstill we simply do not have enough element 115

to continue the experiments the test subjects have survived teleportation but are currently unresponsive to commands and cannot be controlled if we are to overcome this obstacle we need to increase the frequency and size of the experiment to this end i suggest we find not only a regular supply of 115 but that we also find a larger conduit to channel the energy our operatives in america have informed us that the us has a large supply of the element at the nevada base so time is of the essence if we are to stay ahead of them this

cannot be done if you cut the budget nor can it be done if you insist on pressuring us into action before we are ready i am of course available for discussion on the matter but in the meantime i will continue with the work here and try to win this damned war signed etc etc dr maxis in response to this germany complied and even gave them new bases of operations to continue and expand their research these included a repurposed theater at the kino facility in kino der toten an asylum facility in berlin which is verruckt they

even managed to convince the japanese army to relinquish control of their rising sun facility in shinonuma division 9 would still remain intact but just under the leadership of group 935 two other facilities were established as well one in siberia near the tunguska river which is where the maps call of the dead and tagged or toten take place and one in an old run-down castle named der eisendrache now i've gotten a bit into this timeline without mentioning someone who's to become very important down the road and that is samantha maxis her mother died upon giving birth

and so her father brought her along to the darice facility to be closer to her however this would not be the case maxis was so focused and dedicated to his study and research that he often neglected samantha and failed to keep an eye on her as an attempt to make up for his negligence as a father he gifted her a dog named fluffy now you must be very diligent with her samantha owning a dog is a great responsibility yes father oh i love her you must feed her every day and walk her and be very

careful when you play with her you know she's going to have puppy really can i keep the puppy's two father we'll see samantha one step at a time but for now samantha would simply just exist in and around the area just over one year later griffin station was successfully built on the moon richthofen places dr groff in charge of its research and returns back to earth to continue the charade with two long maxis we have toiled here under the eagle's nest to build our fortifications for two long years we have taken equipment to build up

our labs for two long years we have worked under group 935 believing that dr maxis truly wants to help the world for two long years we've lived a double life today that all to you what this is is all about what i have worked to keep from my enemy what is it doctor looks alien it is an ancient real machine and you dr brock are now the lead scientist here at griffin station you will be the one to discover how it works we first must discover what it does i know what it does it has

a direct connection to another domain no more preposterous than teleporting all of this gear to the moon or to building griffin station i suppose not how do you know that it does i have found many interesting real artifacts here i have decoded some of their language all signs point to this device being a stable gateway to the eastern dr richtofen i'm aware of a project being run by dr maxis at darice concerning bruhl i am going back to my post at group 935 to continue the showing i will be finding out just how much information

dr max's has on drip once the machine is operational i will enact my plan on return gentlemen let the games begin for the most part maxis wouldn't pick up on richtofen's schemes but he would begin to question his sanity due to his frequent exposure to 115. though our matter transference tests at the new site have been largely unsuccessful the teleporter's malfunction has nonetheless yielded some interesting data the fact that the test subjects departed the original point of origin is undeniable what is uncertain is what became of them richtofen is insistent in his belief that they

have been transported not through space but through time in the absence of empirical evidence i myself cannot entertain such madness i fear richtofen irrationality may soon prove a liability to our endeavors regardless it wouldn't matter soon he and sophia were transferred to the kino facility to focus on creating germany's undead army maxis's methods involved a sort of brainwashing tactic the subjects were exposed to a series of images to condition their memory if the zombies were capable of recognizing and remembering what was shown to them then it proved they were intelligent and had the ability to

learn and thus be have been controlled treatment for five days with little progress i have been assured that given time the programming will take hold their most successful test subject was subject to the past weeks we have made great strides in breaking through to their subconscious i have had the projectionist make edits to the film these changes have been very effective subject 26 has had a breakthrough he is responding to the treatment and following basic instructions the viral outbursts have been greatly reduced and given time we feel this method of treatment will be 100 effective

in most cases maxis didn't need the zombies to remain controlled forever just long enough to be used as soldiers pointed in the right direction the ideal amount of time was 26 can be hours given the progress we have made in the past two weeks if patient 26 can retain the impressions longer than 26 hours we will have the process unfortunately for everyone this breakthrough didn't last long subject 26 appeared to be in a permanent state of docility which caused everyone to let their guard down it attacked its handler which led to both subject 26 and

its handler being put down however it didn't only attack the handler sophia was also attacked and infected though she tried to keep this information hidden from everyone after many weeks of failure and frustration dr maxis finally achieved the breakthrough he had been searching for the results were immediate and startling in the case of subject 26 his instances of island outburst were non-existent his docility appeared permanent unfortunately while we prepared to implement the treatment on the other subjects there was an incident during his field test this morning subject 26 attacked a handler 2-6 and the handler

were both destroyed marxist believes subject 26 only attacks a handler he does not know i was attacked as well i have observed a developing pattern of high fevers and cold sweats my thoughts are erratic my relationship with ludwigia is complicated i fear i cannot keep the secret from him for long maxis did find out about sophia's injury he kept a personal log documenting what happened to the subject and formulated his own plan of how to deal with his lover another setback patient 2-6 was killed this morning in the field test he lost control and attacked

one of our handlers his injuries were minor but patient 26 was destroyed the breaking programming coincided with the flashing lights and loud noises of the fire alarm in the test facility one moment what is it the break in programming coincided with the flashing lights and loud noises of the fire alarm in the test facility one moment what is it you wanted to see me ludwig sophia yes do come in sit down my dear have some tea is everything all right no no everything's fine drink your tea i heard a nefarious rumor earlier regarding the field

test with subject 26 are you feeling all right of course just strange this rumor may i see your arm what oh why do you need to see my arm relax sophia i would never hurt you you know that right of course but and you know i care deeply for you yes but yes yes then you know everything i'm about to do is for your own good this is dr ludwig maxis beginning preliminary trials for the strategic operations planning heuristic intelligence analyzer what's happening hello it's so dark here i can't see anything that's all perfectly normal

how are you feeling i saved you sofia i saved you the only way i knew he preserved her brain and transferred it into a machine whom he'd also named sophia this would be sophia's cruel fate for the foreseeable future as for maxis he deems the zombies incapable of being controlled or maintained as for richthofen when maxis was sent to the kino facility samantha was placed in his care and he took her to the siberian facility to conduct his own human experimentation not just on new test subjects but also on samantha herself it's not exactly known

why or for what reason but richthofen had experimented on samantha where he came to form a hatred for her nevertheless this would slowly develop over time it is also around this time that group 935 uncovered remnants of purgatory point and collected all of the research found there left behind by jebediah brown richthofen learnt of the agarthin device and his ability to make any desire come true the necessary components needed to craft it and he figured it would make a good backup plan to get to agartha if his goal to take over the world didn't pan

out also it kind of became richtofen's goal to take over the world and gain absolute power the vril vessel was brought to him and he kept watch over it in the agarthan device's progress log entry 937 date may 15 1942 dear diary our men have safely returned from africa where they recovered a number of artifacts buried underground in some sort of subterranean cowboy village apparently it was american that's right an american cowboy western town buried underground in africa thinking they can just waltz into another country and claim it as theirs there is no art to

their work but i digress the boys have returned with a number of fascinating articles and documents they have pieces from a destroyed machine called the pack-a-punch is a name as clever as that it must be american i have given the schematics to dr porter perhaps he will have better luck replicating jebediah brown's work speaking of that blacksmith we also recovered plans for the agarthan device it seems that the blacksmith's already built one of the pieces the fabled ville vessel the agarthan device a device capable of granting that which one desires almost like genie in a

bottle i think i shall keep this genie in my back pocket if my plan fails and it won't perhaps this device can get me to agatha as for richthofen's human experimentation project three test subjects were captured log entry date july 18 1945. dear diary i have been at group 935's siberian facility now for merely days but my cup already runs over this exciting news first yesterday i learned that i would receive not one not two but three ten subjects ah hopefully with proper 115 injections we will be able to use these specimens to access the

human mind the chancellor's undead army is on standby until we crack this crucial step firstly a japanese samurai in bushido named takio masaki he's a man who's always been dedicated to his principles he was born into a wealthy family a bloodline dynasty of highly decorated samurai even from the early age of five he would be seen playing in the streets with his katana slicing the tails off terrified kittens it was clear that he was going to continue bringing honor to the masaki name his life was dedicated to perfecting his discipline for without it life otherwise

had no meaning he joined the imperial japanese army and quickly rose up its ranks as war was the perfect setting for him to explore his bloodlust and the nature of those less honorable than himself due to the legacy of his family name and actions on the battlefield takio garnered attention from the emperor himself he witnessed takio's unwavering fear his ability to stare death in the face and endure whatever was thrown at him and he was jealous he began to use tokyo for his own personal missions due to his loyalty this even involved overseeing division 9's

research on element 115. takio reported that the work being done there was unacceptable and in response the emperor ordered takio to hand himself over as a test subject for which he complied takio was then taken by group 935 the second test subject was the russian sergeant nikolai belinsky his reputation is shrouded in that of a ruthless killer someone who's climbed up the ranks by murdering those ahead of him and sleeping his way through the political ladder however these stories of him may be just that stories in reality there was only ever one thing he loved

in this world and that was his wife she meant everything to him but once germany began their advance into the soviet union the country became a war zone they bombed the major cities and nikolai's wife was killed in the carnage this was perhaps a fate worse than death for him it sent him into a spiral of drowning his sorrows in alcohol he drank to forget and it is likely within his drunken stupor where the tales of the ruthless killer nikolai were born also made up were stories of his ex-wives he began speaking about various other

women he had married who at least five of which he murdered himself these women were non-existent but rather a manifestation of the sadness he was burying deep within him nikolai would continue to fight on as a soldier part of the soviet forces he participated in the battle of stalingrad where his brother was killed and he was subsequently captured by german soldiers and taken by group 935 to become a test subject richthofen's third test subject was a mexican of unknown origin named pablo marinus these three were subject to element 115 experimentation as richtofen attempted to unlock

the human mind tamper with the brain and body by using element 115 and create an army of soldiers for the german forces it wasn't just about controlling these three in particular either they also attempted to clone them so they could create their own soldiers the element 115 affected them all differently tokyo began vomiting uncontrollably nikolai was not responsive to the treatment unless vodka was involved but it was perhaps pablo who was affected the greatest the element 115 gave him visions from the past the future different timelines and different dimensions he quite literally saw through space

and time he rambled about what he saw which caused him to be looked at as insane while richtofen continued to work on creating soldiers for the german forces he began to find the work boring and uninteresting which led him to re-evaluate his interest in the agarthin device's creation log entry 1469 date august 28 1945 dear diary progress continues on unlocking the human mind if germany hopes to continue their war they need an undead army willing to obey orders there's also been further interest in the super sold soldar program the german chancellor considers this of high

interest we have begun the cloning process we will have to see what results we yield test subject n3wb has been vomiting for two days straight our poor janitor he has nightmares needless to say we will no longer be serving fish the russian subject continues to be unresponsive dr yina suggested a serum made of vodka but considering mine concerns about his loyalty i wonder if this is perhaps another attempt at sabotage the specimen from mexico continues to rant incoherently about giant monsters on some uber fun war perhaps we were a little too eager this is 115

injections i did not think he would go this crazy so quickly ah if i'm being honest i'm beginning to find this work a little drab and boring undead army super sold out programs group 935's deal with germany has truly limited the organization's potential the appearance of the spy last month has inspired me to review the blacksmith's schematics the gotham device and its three components the real vessel the apothecon blood and the elemental shard the instructions to creating the elemental shard have my interest peaked four human souls merged with element 115 not that i'm trying to

brag but this may be something in my real house richtofen's experiments would continue with further failures particularly the death of pablo during a test to unlock the human mind via the spleen what exactly are you looking for dr richtofen we are attempting to locate an appropriate stimuli that will trigger the brain's involuntary willingness to obey command ah there we are four sets forceps dr richtofen but the liver and kidneys or spleen our goal is to unlock the barrier to the human mind with element 115 it is important that we explore every possibility the barrier may

be very least expected there we are retract us retractors it seems the chancellor has been pushing us harder these last days is this because of the spy that was discovered not the asylum i do not know dr yina our german leader along with dr maxis is so limited in his thinking his goals are simple-minded childish keeps pushing for his undead army when you could have the elemental shot the elemental shard a device capable of endless energy we could use it to craft anything including a garden device of immense power he holds this open while i

grab the injector a gotham device why haven't i heard about this dr yina do you have a firm grip you are shaking i'm ready please proceed injecting serum in three two one the injection is nearly complete i can't hold this grip well i guess the barrier isn't in his speed i knew it you didn't go on purpose richtofen it was an accident by my hand slipped one four seven one date september 2nd 1845. another day another failure this time subject n3wb just slightly at the floor the russian subject still smells like urine even after he

was given a bath under laos twice and i think i might have killed the specimen from mexico his spleen is on the floor and he's not moving anymore i can verify the certainty however that the barrier is not located in the stream doctor continue no matter the cost i wonder what he might think of the experiment nice as time went on and richtofen descended into madness cornelius pernell who was responsible for sending peter mckanen as a spy to group 935 believed the group was losing control over its experiments and decided to pull the plug on

the investigation a special force team was formed with the intent of extracting peter mccain it was led by tank dempsey he was chosen due to the grit he showed during the battle of pelelu he and his men were captured during the early raids and he spent two weeks submerged in malarial water in a rat infested bamboo cage he nod his way through the cage and took down his captors with only a bobby pin and his medal of honor all he knows is war and working to win it for everyone he's fighting for he is the

definition of an american hero he alongside john banana smokey and paxton gunner ridge were sent to the verruckt facility to extract peter mccain before they got there however peter's identity as a spy was uncovered and he was captured by group 935 an outbreak at the asylum shortly followed and amongst the chaos peter had managed to escape but lost his left forearm in the process by the time the extraction team arrived it was too late the facility was overrun and they were forced to fend for themselves both smokey and john banana were killed a radio was

left behind in banana's final moments of death when he lost his mind field report a quiet report the mission has all gone south it's johnny here smokey is near most likely with meat in his mouth i've been here for ages i ran out of pages but now have a bite to record the mission has failed mccain must have bailed and now we must fight off the horde we came to farooq with low ammo in luck and now smokey's lost his head we went down the halls they bit smokey's balls and now he walks with the

dead they call me banana i worked at a cabana i rhymed to keep myself sane though smokey is dead i'm holding his head which right now is eating my brain dempsey on the other hand is captured by group 935 and is used as a replacement test subject for the mexican in richtofen's experiments date september 10 1945 dear diary today for the good day the swelling has subsided the ice helps they made livers for lunch i still have not had any luck reprogramming any of the light specimens the key to unlocking the human mind will be

more easily discovered on someone who isn't dead yet i am not convinced the army is stored until i can break this this trust barrier oh apparently someone in security found a spy in the group they are delivering him from place of one that i broke the only survivor was gunner who managed to make his way back to the united states and report what happened to purnell dempsey was transported to the siberian facility and he alongside nikolai and tokyo were all exposed to serums of element 115 and tested on by richtofen 1945 dear diary today that's

right some of this i'm taking you home in fact i suppose this must be the replacement time to get to there were many attempts to grow their own versions of these three but each one of them came out deformed and a failure in one way or another in the end these tests would be unsuccessful and later abandoned experiments would continue to be conducted on the three however serums of 115 were continuously injected into them causing them to slowly go mad evidence of this can be found in their prison cells written on the walls these experiments

caused side effects in each one of the characters as well dempsey had a loss of intellect but his will became stronger than ever takio became silent but when he did speak they were usually in old proverbs and nikolai became dependent and only responded via vodka what seems as the oss realized that we captured one of their spies they tried to send a rescue team into the world that was awesome i suspect there are other moles in the organization dr harvey ina or dr peter mckay to be precise include any americans in group 935 no matter

how much genius apple pies from baseball and children but i digress the new american test subject is interesting his intellect seems low but his villa is strong like others he doesn't seem to know who he is anymore unlike the others he keeps breaking her restraints or stepping at me n3wp is still staring at the floor muttering what sounds like some kind of proverb over and over again i think his mind may have been destroyed by the process oh then the russian subject recently began responding to stimuli but only after injecting him with a new serum

made primarily from water while richtofen continuously worked on unlocking the human mind his own motivations and goals would also be tested he began making progress on the agarthin device specifically the elemental shard using a processed rock of 115 richtofen successfully managed to siphon off pieces of everyone's soul and put them into the rock this included himself as he needed four souls in total and he was conveniently around over the russian subject recently began responding to stimuli but only after injecting him with a new serum made primarily from vodka perhaps this is a break so in

the experiment we have been waiting for perhaps i was too harsh on dr yina it was he after all who suggested the vodka theorem credit that credit is due today olson marks a great success for one of my side projects using a process rock of element 115 and the real vessel i was able to successfully siphon a piece of the soles from our three specimens and inject them into the rock without access to a fourth individual i used part of my own essence much to my surprise the rock grew and transformed creating a beautiful shard

of glass made purely from element 1.5 and parts from four human souls the frill vessel the elemental shard all we need now is the apothecon blood and the algarven device shall be complete end log entry 1474 or should i say 1474 doesn't matter all that was left to complete the agarthin device was the blood of an apothecan unbeknownst to richthofen or anyone at the time by siphoning the souls of those four together it effectively bound them across all dimensions and universes no matter what no matter where these four were stuck with each other though they

wouldn't know it seeing how richtofen began using group 935's resources for his own personal projects dr yena saw at the perfect time to prove his loyalty to the organization in an attempt to clear any and all thoughts the others might have had that he might be a spy due to being american you cannot do this you have no authority you've left me no choice dr richtofen you use 935 resources to work on personal projects you've been threatening the employees myself included and you're clearly suffering from excessive 115 induced delusions suffering from excessive 115 induced delusions

how dare you accuse me of such such such fire lies dr maxis has ordered the elemental shard to be sent to division nine where they are better equipped to study it appropriately you are to cease experimentation on the test subjects and put them on ice you are to return with them to derise and meet with dr maxis he would like to discuss your dedication to the cause mine dedication all of my projects my programs you think i'm not dedicated you have taken everything from me oh well i still have the dg2 in active development i

suppose that's something actually no i'm afraid dr maxis has cancelled its mass production as well this this is all you're doing you are intentionally serving discontent you are trying to destroy us and within you you're working for the americans aren't you you're a spy they'll just like dr peter mccain dr maxis would never have hired americans no matter how much genius they have no dr richtofen that's your paranoia talking you've been exposed to element 115 for too long i'm just a loyal servant to group 935 trying to protect its interests now if you have any

issues i suggest bringing them up with dr maxis oh don't you worry a little lying apple pie brain hell yeah i intend to bring up a great many things with dr maxis richthofen was forced to put dempsey nikolai and takio on ice hand over the elemental shard which was to be taken to division 9 where they could properly study it and he was forced to return back to darice with maxis and to top it all off mass production of the wunderwaffe was cancelled understandably this pissed richtofen off as he felt betrayed and so he formulated

his own plan to deal with maxis and samantha in the process like i said earlier he came to form a hatred for samantha though we never really see why he 1945 as for the control group they have been put on hold recently i discovered that does not play math producing the dg2 if he won't move those plans forward then i will continue following his dream of an undead army he doesn't deserve his perch of power he doesn't know what to do with it but i know just what to do with him and i'll take before

we go any further we must first talk about the progress being made on the moon with the mpd during this time when we last left off with them richtofen had just placed dr groff in charge of its oversight since the discovery of element 115 we have achieved so much our weapons program alone has advanced beyond even our wildest expectations furthermore the fact that we have been able to establish a permanent base of operations of the moon itself leaves me filled with optimism for the future we can literally do anything despite countless hours of analyzing and

studying the mpd it yielded little to no results it wasn't until by pure accident when dr shuster killed a nearby rat that its soul entered the device and began charging it catalog 1075 dr schuster and i have spent countless hours with the pyramid device in an attempt to understand how it functions we have made little progress until now today we uncovered what looks to be some kind of tank with a glass-like front the glass itself i've got you now rats kill it did you see that look the capacitor is illuminated the tank is filling the

machine it seems to be activated what did you do i think we just discovered what powers this machine this information was swiftly sent to richthofen who had no hesitation in what needed to be done richtofen arranged for various scientists and soldiers to be sent to the moon where they would be sacrificed to charge the this is pyramid list status update over hello doctor we have the shipment and are carrying out your orders all in the name of science dr gruff continue until the tanks are full yes for richtofen's plan to succeed it would spell the

downfall for group 935 entirely he intended to execute something known as operation shield also known as security protocol 935 it is never directly explained what this is but logic would dictate it's the emergency measure everyone is to take in case of an outbreak all group 935 members are equipped with cyanide pills to kill themselves so as to not suffer a gruesome mauling at the hands of zombies group 935 would effectively die it's not what richtofen inherently wanted but he believed maxis had changed the group's goals from researching element 115 to simply helping the nazi party

and he hated that but he didn't want the work to go to waste in fact he wanted it to continue so instead he struck a deal with the americans and russians he agreed to hand over their research and findings thus far and even have scientists which he trusted be transferred over as well under their supervision considering how group 935 was at the forefront of its research they agreed october 10 19 you've done what dr richtofen oh i'm sorry do you not see the microphone in my hand recording for posterity is important a.m october 10th 1945.

you've made a deal with the americans onto the russians you can't forget them but our work this war ah the war is over dr schuster it is my responsibility to ensure the work of group 935 continues but these deals it would mean the end of group 935 the americans and the russians would tear us apart everything we stood for everything this organization stood for died the day dr max has made that infernal deal with the reichstag you and i both know this to be true listen to me and understand our technological developments with 115 are

the envy of the entire world these agreements guarantee our work will continue in america and russia and that they will continue with our scientists at the helm i am sorry but for our work to live on group 9's revive must come to an end oh cheer up dr schuster i have asked that you go to the americans it will be good for your softer side you will not go to america nor to russia once dr groff confirms that the mpd is ready we will proceed with operation shield as planned and then i have a date

with destiny what are you getting out of this deal dr richthofen a feeling of fulfillment that i've saved my fellow scientists from the unemployment line or possibly prison edward please don't you worry about me dr schuster i will be well taken care of by this point in time richtofen had returned to darice the pyramid was charged and ready to be used so richtofen could finally carry out his plan to get rid of samantha and maxis eagle's nest this is griffin station we have an update over dr cross have you made any progress yes doctor the

machine is ready i'm debating the conduit very good i should proceed with operation shield i'll join you shortly security protocol 935 either the sport of doctor maxis and that little brat personally teleportation tests continued as usual with richtofen and maxis unbeknownst that richthofen had already figured everything out initiating test number three subject is within the test chamber activate power oh my god do you hold yourself and clean that up test number three unsuccessful test subject has been reduced to the same state as previous subjects clean up the test chamber and recalibrate the system let's do

it again yes doctor though our matter transference tests at the new site have been largely unsuccessful the teleporter's malfunction has nonetheless yielded some interesting data the fact that the test subjects departed the original point of origin is undeniable what is uncertain is what became of them richtofen is insistent in his belief that they have been transported not through space but through time in the absence of empirical evidence i myself cannot entertain such madness i fear richtofen irrationality may soon prove a liability to our endeavors for test number five maxis actually used fluffy the dog he

gifted to samantha though fluffy would disappear into the ether edward tie the damn thing down we can't have it running around during the test it's tied down now dr maxis initiating chest number five subject is within the test chamber activate power searching for vitals no reading doctor the subject has disappeared dr maxis we've done it don't be foolish test number five is unsuccessful subject has vanished yes but has not reappeared at the mainframe recalibrate the damn system test number six is where richthofen enacts his coup to finally get rid of samantha and maxis initiating test

number six subject is within test chamber activate power damn it edward did you set up the device correctly yes doctor as per your specifications if you had done it to my specifications then it would have worked wouldn't it as usual your incompetence do you hear that doctor parker full test number six is the failure but the experiment has caused some kind of electrical port to energize within the chamber they'll open the door doctor i don't think open the door now daddy what are you doing damn it samantha i told you never to come in here

edward get her out of here yes doctor what's wrong with her daddy what did you do come back here samantha stop here come here samantha good girl rossie gently samantha that's not flossy anymore we must get out of here what deadpod what are you doing open the door advantage open this door now i'm scared stop no fluffy reemerged from the teleporter though not as the dog she once was it was changed into a hellish beast this is what would go on to be known as the hellhound maxis and samantha were trapped in the test chamber

and teleported richtofen had no intention of teleporting them anywhere specific it seems that he had actually just intended for fate to decide or perhaps he was hoping that the teleportation would simply kill them outright but that's not what happened samantha was teleported to the moon where she encountered graf and schuster scared and frightened she fled for her life where she accidentally ran into the mpd where she was sucked inside the tanks are fall and the shields are down the machine is coming nicely what does the shipment most are buried outside of the base the live

ones we've sent back to customer poster excellent there's nothing left but to wait for dr richtoff's return perhaps this is a good time to work on my low gravity putting in the biodome yes this is not security maxis was teleported to a location simply known as the crazy place it is a difficult location to describe but in the simplest of terms it is a gateway to get to agartha many have searched for it or something like it to get to agartha but this is unequivocally where one can do it it seems to exist outside of

time and space similar to agartha itself this is relevant because while stuck here maxis develops the power to merge with electricity as for fluffy it is unknown where she was teleported seeing samantha entering the mpd as a potential issue richthofen was informed of this development he figured if samantha lived then maxis would also have to as well and he must be somewhere in the world while richthofen has proven to dislike maxis if anyone could be capable of coaxing samantha out of the mpd it would be her no father i know what must be done in

the meantime see if you can find dr magnus perhaps he can talk something to her did you not deal with him already yes but if the child ends up there then maxis must be somewhere too find him how do you propose dr cross i cannot do everything for you i leave this in your capable hands there is much to be done yes doctor oh and gross yes i keep an eye out for an evil looking dog maxis is successfully located and brought to the moon but things don't play out as they were hoping accessing mtd

mtv integrity check nominal awaiting input excellence bring the sample analyzing mpd profile profiles created excellent now scan for target yes doctor greetings dr maxis schuster i should have known where is that rat edward where are we and how did you get me out of that wretchedness none of that is important right now allow me to fill you in samantha honey daddy is here come dear please open the machine daddy will not let them hurt you anymore honey daddy knows he's made some mistakes i am truly sorry that you are put through so much when your

mother died i could not bear the thought of losing you too that's why i kept you so close i did not mean to neglect you i just wanted to know you were safe from heart i love you samantha i love you too daddy can you do something for me something very important kill them all maxis committed suicide in front of samantha to further push her down the path of revenge the dark ether does what it does best corrupt a mere shock was enough for richthofen to hear voices of the apothicons and drive him to insanity

and obsession but now samantha was drowning in it as such you can imagine how the dark ether corrupted her like no one had ever seen as the zombies were born of element 115 and the mpd created to control the ether samantha could now control them and so she unleashed hordes of the undead against whoever she could almost exclusively targeting group 935 however as for maxis he did not truly die with his newly formed power to merge with electricity upon death he merged with griffin station and its technology from here all hell breaks loose darice and

shinonuma are two of the first locations to fall victim to samantha's attacks dr porter was at the darice facility when it happened he is the one who activates the alarm signaling to the other scientists to kill themselves or escape he personally takes the option to kill himself but i'm all out of hope i'll feed this ain't my friend warning the shield is now active damn it scientists i can't find my pills and report to the barracks they are coming we must do what i must do warning the shield is now active uh seeing no other

option and faced with an endless undead horde richthofen needed capable soldiers by his side to assist him in taking down and usurping power from samantha so he returned to the doris facility and reawakened his old test subjects dempsey takio and nikolai fortunately for him the three had no memory of who they really were or more importantly who richthofen was it didn't take much convincing to get them to side with him as the undead were an easy enemy to rally them together from this point forward this group would be known as ultimus to take control from

samantha what richtofen needed was his diary the extensive research of 115 he had documented the agarthin technology he'd uncovered everything the voices told him it was quite difficult for the mind to contain all of this information and thus he documented it in his diary however there was one slight problem the diary was currently at the shino numa facility considering richthofen has never been there before it is likely that his diary was taken when the elemental shard was transferred and he was restationed back at darice it is also important to note that peter mccain who had

escaped the vorak facility all that time ago was given orders to rendezvous with the oss at the rising sun facility he parachuted over the rising sun facility however died shortly after the ultimus crew arrive and retrieve richthofen's diary with minimal interference from here richtofen formulates his plan on how he intends to defeat samantha what he needs is the vril device the golden rod and the focusing stone he encountered in shangri-la when combined they can be inserted into the mpd and swap the souls of any two individuals this is how richthofen intended on seizing power from

samantha it is unknown why he doesn't directly begin seeking out the focusing stone and veril device immediately because the group returned to darice with the intention of teleporting to the moon and confronting samantha before any artifacts had been acquired this does not go as planned however one of the characters accidentally overcharged the teleporter with the wonderwaffa which wound up sending them through time itself ultimus went from 1945 to 1963 to the kino facility in berlin this teleportation also caused richtofen to accidentally drop his diary leaving it at the doris facility while in the future samantha

who had gone fairly dormant in the years of their disappearance relaunches an attack at the facility attempting to kill ultimus the group had largely nothing to do here whatsoever and so simply searched for a means of escape they found one in the form of a lunar lander which flies them to their next facility but before we get there considering this is the future a lot of events happened in the time frame that ultimus skipped first and foremost considering richthofen's plan involved the downfall of group 935 that is precisely what happened the organization fell but his

plan in allying the soviets and americans carried on flawlessly from here the story branches off into two separate endeavors what the americans were testing and what the soviets were testing by this point world war ii had come to an end and we were entering into the cold war and the space race only for the sake of the story the reason the americans and soviets were so eager to make it to space was because they both knew the mpd and the research from griffin station was there whoever got there first would claim it for their country

on the soviet side of group 935's research was harvey yina the american spy after group 935's disbandment he had the option to either return to the us or continue further research into element 115. he saw this to be the perfect opportunity to continue assisting america while not being with them it was clear that they were getting their own portion of group 935 scientists so he decided to go with the soviets and double their research he hired two scientists to help him anton gersch and yuri zavoysky and together they made the ascension group there were many

projects going on in ascension at the time many of which involved getting to the moon there was the standard rocket testing along with attempts of teleportation this was also further pushed thanks to the soviets obtaining richtofen's diary from doris which he dropped when they teleported through time the soviets saw decent progress with teleportation but not enough to actually make it to the moon this is where we need to branch off slightly and return to a previous character from the timeline as they become quite relevant right now and that is pablo marines the mexican test subject

from richtofen's experiments at the siberian facility richthofen initially deemed him dead after removing his spleen which ironically jarvina had a hand in but what truly happened is that while yes he did appear dead at the time due to the 115 injections he actually woke up long after the war already ended and group 935 was disbanded he woke up at the siberian facility to the hordes of zombies left behind day 521 i still don't know how it is possible but late last year i awoke from a watery grave when i swam to the surface i found

the german military base abandoned only the undead remained on their shores i attempted to flee but the fog it seemed no sooner that the shore faded behind me it reappeared in front of me every attempt i made to escape it he led me right back here as if i was meant to be here i have begun broadcasting a radio signal i'm hoping that someone will answer and come to my rescue but if no one comes i'm not sure how much longer i will survive this place the experiments done on pablo gave him visions of past

and future it opened his mind to other dimensions in these visions he saw himself fighting in the great war that happened close to the beginning of the timeline when humanity and the keepers banded together to fight the apothicons he saw this and believed it to be his destiny day 3682 i think last night i had a dream a dream i have not had in many years like the ones i used to have at the eisendrache i dreamed i was in medieval times during a great war a war to end all wars in this dream i

am attacked by one of the great beasts it holds me within its grasp about to end my life when i am saved spared by a man in cloth not a priest someone more powerful he wields a staff of fire i see four heroes stand the top of a mound the four raise their staffs in unison and suddenly the knights know the war is not lost i rejoined the fight and fight alongside my king for years i had dreamed of this war i wonder perhaps the german's experiments warped my brain my sense of space and time

he thought i died but it was only that my mind had transformed i have been here 10 years no one has responded to my radio message is there no one up there like am i even on earth or am i caught somewhere in between every time i try to escape my raft always brings me back this place is my my prison but is it a prison perhaps it is more like a waiting room a purgatory of sorts perhaps my dreams are much more perhaps they are visions of what is to come and perhaps it is

here i must wait for what is to come they will come for me while trapped at the siberian facility he came across the notes left behind about how to construct the agarthan device the artifact that can grant any desire and believed this to be his way of getting to the great war he put out radio message after radio message to no response until one day it was picked up by the ascension group he told them about the agarthan device and that he could construct it for them harveyina having heard richthofen's ramblings about this same device

was still on the fence about its existence but with garsh pushing for its potential for infinite uses to help them convinces him to give it a shot what pablo needed was the only piece missing which no one had and that was the blood of an ancient apothicon from his visions of the great war he knew where a corpse could be found via the coordinates everyone agreed to the terms we have verified authenticity of this transmission yes yes anton a recon unit traveled to the old facility apparently a survivor has been living there since the end

of the war since the end of the war 13 years how can this be true and how did we not know about this unfortunately your gas is as good as mine and his proposed this a garten device what do you make of this personally it sounds too good to be true but this isn't the first i've heard of it dr richtofen had mentioned it as well just think harvey a device capable of granting that which any man desires i simply think it and bang it is reality we could beat americans to group 935 lunar facility

we could become leaders of free work overnight the potential it is certainly infinite so he says he will construct device but first he needs he needs us to find something he says we must bring him the blood of an ancient creature he gave us the coordinates it's at the bottom of the ocean recovery will not be cheap well we do not need the creature only its blood harvey do not worry your reward will pay cost tenfold this is how the ascension group leads charge into new world i understand and there was one more thing he

warned us to bring him the blood straight away when exposed to the elements for extended amounts of time becomes volatile and unstable he warned us the blood is alive let us worry about collecting it first we will decide the next move after this doctor of course dr garrosh the trip was a success the apothecon blood was retrieved however gersh did not want to hand it over he instead wished to experiment with it due to its special nature i trust your trip was success like he wouldn't believe anton what we found down there the creature was

magnificent gargantuan in size was otherworldly a remnant of a different age uh i wish you could have seen it it was that's a coordinates provided yes 43 north 180 east the blood has a fluidity to it that i find fascinating we would have investigated further but we intercepted a transmission that the americans were in the area somehow they'd been informed about the creature's location ah these damn leaks they will be our undoing it seems every step we take the americans follow suit mark my words there is a mall in ascension army we must strike it

out before it destroys us get a team together people we trust if we are to study the blood we must make sure the americans do not find out just study it anton i think we should follow the plan and deliver the blood to the siberian facility we cannot this struggle with the americans we cannot let them get the advantage this blood is our only leverage after the war in group 935 disbanded you came to us you came to me you saw a better vision for the future here than what your america was offering we created

ascension on the principle of being better men of making this world a better place if this blood is key to unlocking the future we will be fools to not take this opportunity perhaps you are right at the very least we can study it what's the harm in that the blood would go on to be used in a number of different experiments first and foremost was it was used on primates the blood was injected into them in hopes of making them able to survive space flight further analysis also uncovered the negative space the blood inhabits in

simple terms the blood functions like a black hole of sorts how are the experiments coming doctor fascinating anton truly fascinating the blood it's not so much fluid as it is very much alive it moves it changes shape and will reacts to our touch how is this possible i'm not sure one theory is perhaps the creature itself was more of a vessel and that its blood is made up of a million different organisms that control it like a crew piloting a ship the creature died but the organisms inside survived trapped at the bottom of the ocean

is it sentient yeah how is it able to move the blood uses negative space which exists between the molecules this negative space provides an influx of energy which we believe fuels the blood giving it the ability to move do you still believe this blood is suitable for our privates for rocket testing absolutely the blood gives them rejuvenation abilities making them more powerful stronger if a monkey is on the brink of death and given an injection it makes a full recovery in a matter of minutes the only trade-off is they become more angry hostile even violent

in some cases is this a problem it's manageable but i'm confident monkeys given an injection of this blood will survive space flight wonderful news i think we can move on to the next phase of the program we should prepare a serum for mass production can you tell me more about this negative space we really don't know much about it except that it does not exist in this dimension maybe a gateway from another one of our men has theorized it might even be a black hole of sorts send what research you've done to myself and our

weapons team be sure your isa voice key is included in the brief of course but i will remind you we need to be careful we've noticed the blood has been changing composition as if reacting to all our probing and prodding reacting how so i'm not sure how to explain it but it feels like the blood's getting angry with the information acquired from researching the apothecan blood both gersh and yuri zavoisky began working on project mercury what would later be known as the gersh device the initial intention for this creation was to be used as a

portable teleporter however it would find its purpose as a black hole but just under one year of working on its creation gersch removes yuri from the project after proving incapable of handling it when he nearly destroys the entire thing and he is transferred over to the rocket division but on to business i am pleased to report that all projects are running smoothly again recent personnel changes as i had previously mentioned yuri zavoysky is a brilliant scientist but he has so far proven incapable of handling project mercury or as you call it the gersh device so

due to numerous delays and setbacks i have sadly been forced to transfer yuri to the 8k 64-a experiments i have decided that your nephew should take his place and look forward to working with him directly story is incident with the casimir mechanism leaves no doubt in my mind that this is the right decision the explosion caused the mechanism significant damage it will take time to re-manufacture all of the parts unless some of them can be salvaged this obviously didn't sit well with yuri and so he started to work on the gersh device in his own

no time my intellect is ill-served blasting a bunch of monkeys into the atmosphere but i can't fight girls over this i was able to hold on to my some after hours researching no one else really understands what project mercury is capable of until then this lab will have to do wait a minute this did not bode well for yuri as part of his new position he was given richtofen's diary while it may appear to be simple notes and logs from his past it was also in fact corrupted by the dark ether similar to element 115

prolonged exposure to richthofen's diary is enough to drive anyone insane and hear some voices left his teddy bear in it the disgusting and filthy toy who keeps bringing their child onto this base thank god they did not take the diary the things i have learned about element one i'll have to conduct this research on my own away from the destructive hands of gersh his research into project mercury has stalled but will he be transferred i doubt it as long as project remains on track his friends yuri slowly began to become much more hostile hearing the

voice of samantha in his head superior to whatever the americans or should i say canadians are developing finally project thunder is nearing completion my staff has assured me that the remaining issues of the effective range and power cells will be solved within the next few months oh and also you should know that dr zavoysky does not appear to be adjusting to his new position he has been hostile towards the other scientists at least more than usual and has frequently been seen muttering to himself the transition must have been hard for him but if he does

not learn his place soon i may require another more competent scientist to replace him samantha was extremely interested in this gersh device as it could be used as a rift so she could travel through she corrupted yuri completely and he began following her commands she pushed him to finish creating the gersh device which he did leave me alone calm down no no i won't shut up shut up stop stop okay okay and she also instructed him to absorb gersh into it the fact that you are even in this lab again is a reason enough to

have you permanently ruin removed section do not worry you will not be disappointed in fact i'm sure you won't forget it but i can't take all the credits if you do me the honors ah what's up device and stuck in a plane between existence samantha also requested that yuri enter the gersh device as well as she wished to send him somewhere but before we get to that we must first catch up with the americans and what they were doing with their group 935 research during this 16-year time period after group 935's disbandment america and the

soviet union got their split of the research for the americans we follow the perspective of major george sawyer who fulfills his side of the promise with richtofen of hiring its scientists and evacuating their families major george sawyer personal log january 20th 1946 after speaking with major staver this morning i can confirm operation stapler has been a resounding success while our officers met with the soviet representatives to negotiate the fair split of group 935's research our operatives quietly extracted 40 of its scientists and their families in the coming days they're to be officially hired as war

department special employees to our knowledge the soviets have yet to realize what we've done since the discovery of the depository near groom lake in 37 our progress has been minimal our hope is that these scientists will provide us the edge we desperately need for our element 115 research program all of this would not have been possible without the help of one dr edward richtofen when he reached out to us last august he promised unfettered access to group 935's research in exchange for providing safe harbor for its scientists while we may not have secured all the

research we did get the scientists the brain trust if we do ever locate dr richtofen i would like to shake his hand and thank him personally for the great service he has provided to the united states of america the most important scientist recovered for the site of the americans was dr schuster while he was happy to continue the research he was working on i.e teleportation the work the americans were more interested in was that of the undead while schuster was honest about what he experienced with the likes of samantha no one believed him this is

dr schuster personal log june 27 1947. with the help of major sawyer and operation stapler i began employment at the pentagon i'm assigned to their 115 division which focuses on r d of the element while i am grateful for this opportunity i have my reservations element 115 is a resource with potentially infinite applications yet the only thing these scientists and the pentagon seem concerned with are undead experiments i may declare to them that my own work with group 935 was primarily focused on its teleportation technologies if they wanted my help with that i would gladly

oblige but the idea of resuming undead experimentation horrified me the room went silent clearly they were not satisfied with my answer finally major sawyer asked why i was blunt perhaps too blunt and told them what happened at griffin station about maxis's daughter samantha about the mpd about the undead outbreak about everything if we resumed experimentation there was no guarantee she wouldn't take control of them just as she had done the others more importantly there was no guarantee she wouldn't kill us all as her father instructed her i told them all this and do you know

what happened they laughed shuster was put in charge of the us's teleportation projects he established one from the pentagon to the groom lake facility in nevada but what they really wanted him to do was simply teleport to griffin station on the moon directly shuster was hesitant to rush the process as he feared the accidental side effect of time travel i'm just a little confused dr shuster you've already successfully established the teleporter link between the pentagon and groom lake the pentagon to groom lake is child's play a distance of 890 kilometers what we're talking about now

is a distance of 380 000 kilometers but it can be done of course colonel sawyer but i had two years to perfect the link to groom lake the timetable you've given me to establish a link to the moon is far more aggressive do i need to remind you what we're up against dr richtofen told us about griffin station back in 45 from what we've discovered he told the soviets the same thing the soviets achieved teleportation two years before we did if they get to the moon first they get to claim griffin station yes yes i

know all about your adorable space race but need i remind you that if this teleporter becomes operational even a single mathematical error could lead to catastrophic results yes it will take you to the moon i have little worry over where it will take you i worry about when what time travel give me a break precisely if the specifications are not exact we could create temporal rifts with ripple effects that will undo the very fabric of space-time itself simply put don't rush science moves at its own pace just get it done doctor you have two weeks

before we begin testing the zombie experiments would not cease however schuster alongside a new doctor dr layman continued where maxis left off trying to create docile zombies that could be controlled layman actually figured out a way to accomplish this by turning element 115 into a gas and giving it to an alive test subject you've made progress dr layman yes um yes yes so as you know our success with the undead experimentation has been limited yes yes we've achieved the same benchmarks as maxis but as with his trials they refuse to obey orders that's right we

can't control them we can't make them docile but i believe i've cracked it i'm listening okay last month our man inside the ascension group sent us copies of dr richtofen's diary now i've been pouring over it following his research and that doesn't seem very docile to me just watch stand back dr schuster i promise you it's quite safe walk incredible it's completely subservient how did you achieve this well i vaporized element 115 brought it to a gaseous state the specimen inhaled it inhaled it and unfortunately it had to be done while the specimen was still

alive while they were still alive good heavens man did you the soldier was gonna die anyway um doctor are you all right oh my apologies layman i'm distracted by the eyes they're yellow it is also important to note that harvey yina who is currently at the ascension group copied richthofen's diary and sent it to the us dr layman was the one in charge of it however somehow someway similarly to how the dark ether corrupted yuri zavoisky by reading the journal it too began to corrupt dr layman samantha then pushed him to create an army of

undead soldiers for obvious reasons 10 out of 10 trials docile and obeying commands and it's activated with living subjects that's correct colonel completely subservient and you've achieved all this with a chemical gas that is correct colonel dr layman has successfully transformed element115 into a chemical weapon do you know what this means dr layman what the potential of this gas could be um yes yes but more importantly we've gotten these creatures to obey our commands as richtofen and maxis would have wanted how to hell with them this gas if you released it over moscow you could

end this cold war tomorrow dr schuster when can we bring this to full production with some additional testing six weeks that's perfect hold on a damn minute okay that's not what this is all about a chemical weapon is nothing we're talking about building an undead army here how do you not all get that it's what i'm supposed to do it's what i've been ordered to do what's gotten into you dr layman what's gotten into me we're not following her orders she told me to do this it's what we have to do not waste our time

with this [ __ ] excuse me doctor do we have a problem no colonel no problem we'll get it done be sure you do what the devil has gotten into you i'm sorry i'm not sure what happened okay okay it's it's that damned diary ever since i started reading it i'm hearing things like a like a voice in my head pull yourself together this is a major breakthrough be proud of your work don't worry i still hear you they are fools it will be done meanwhile we must return back to the perspective of cornelius pernell

having been the one in charge of the spies sent to infiltrate group 935 he too has become obsessed with the potential element 115 holds he wants to do what they failed and that's better the human condition but he was having difficulties convincing his higher-ups particularly robert mcnamara to expand research into element 115. this dream organization of his would be known as broken arrow this is groom lake station chief cornelius purnell personal log march 11 1961 after being unable to get mcelroy or gates to see the light i hope my meeting with mcnamara would fare better

but i had no such luck for years now dod have run experiments with their 115 division but we are the ones with all the supply i told mcnamara we have the fort knox of element 115 right next to our nuclear testing site if we combine resources and work together instead of simply bartering resources groom lake could receive the funding to properly mine the materials and expand experimentation but no mcnamara was uninterested another secretary of defense another bust for project broken arrow after being stationed with schuster who spoke of his encounters with samantha on the moon

whom no one believed it was only due to his mentioning of the rising sun facility where he ordered peter mccain to rendezvous before he died that purnell decides to investigate shuster's claims further personal log february 23 1963. the construction of the moon teleporter ongoing a number of scientists from the pentagon's 115 division have been stationed on site here at groom lake dr schuster head of the operation continues to be full of surprises he's been telling me these stories about a evil little girl named samantha that she can control the undead i asked colonel sawyer about

it and he told me to pay it no mind apparently everybody's been laughing off schuster's stories for years now but then yesterday schuster says he has proof he claims this samantha is responsible for several outbreaks over the last 20 years rattles off a bunch of names and one of them was the rising sun facility i lost a good man there peter mccain and never got an explanation for it i decided to investigate this further what he found was exactly what he was looking for evidence of samantha's existence and attacks around the world but more importantly

it was perfect fear to convince mcnamara to fund his broken arrow project personal log july 29 1963 i've spent the last several months combing through archives and conducting extensive research and i can't believe what i'm about to say but this is real this girl creature entity this this being possesses a very real and very dangerous power fortunately as of now her attacks have been contained and if she were to choose to unleash fury she could wipe us off the map and not just the united states she could destroy everyone but there is an opportunity here

to combat this threat the pentagon is going to need to significantly increase their 115 operations to support that they'll need greater access to our gold mine at groom lake project broken arrow is the key to all of this two birds one stone we'll combat a threat to national security and i'll secure the funding for my program and its operations drafting a report on the incident i plan to present it to mcnamara in the coming weeks purnell managed to convince mcnamara to fund the broken arrow project to harness element 115 so they could fight back against

samantha's wrath washington's words have lingered with me these last few days to be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace mankind has always prepared for war because we face an enemy we know intimately our fellow man in a way we are the only enemy we have ever truly known but now i sit here with the groom lake report in my hand and i contemplate an enemy beyond our comprehension an entity with the powers of a god that can manipulate time space and the very nature of other beings the evidence

is clear a trail of carnage can be tracked october 21st 1945 the rising sun research facility october 28 1945 group 935's dereza facility april 25th 1956 the himalayas now i am no stranger to undead experimentation nor their outbreaks i've read purnell's reports on the airfield and asylum incidents the undead may be a concern but they are not the threat without a leader they are mindless and uncoordinated but the idea of a being that commands an undead army with seemingly unlimited resources that gives the marching orders to strike at any time and any place how do

you prepare for war with that how do you protect america how do you protect the planet one of the scientists we acquired from group 935 dr schuster i believe is his name claims to be familiar with the entity he says her name is samantha this samantha may be the greatest threat our nation has ever faced certainly more than that from the soviet union or cuba for they are just men and my contacts on the ground now confirm it on october 28th the entity known as samantha attacked an abandoned theater in berlin this marks her first

attack in nine years the location she chose is interesting in 1940 the german high command repurposed it as a group 935 facility that makes this the third group 935 operation that samantha has targeted the berlin incident has forced us to reevaluate the recent pentagon outbreak we had previously assumed it was a contained affair but must now acknowledge the possibility that samantha played a role i've made arrangements for the president and castro to discuss the broken arrow initiative if samantha poses as great a threat as it seems we must put aside our differences no nation alone

can defeat her an alliance must be formed we must reach across the metaphorical isle the meeting will be held here at the pentagon in the coming days dick will be joining us for some reason jack requested he attend regretfully i'm forced to admit that purnell was perhaps correct if we use the broken arrow initiative to harness the power of this element 115 we could build a better world and be prepared for war with samantha i've given roebuck the coordinates of the berlin incident for safe keeping he'll log them along with all the others his plan

worked and broken arrow was greenlit personal log september 3rd 1963. the discussion with mcnamara was a resounding success his plans for it are bigger than i ever thought possible fools it was so easy all those hawks over there think about his war i offered them a morsel to nugget and had the meeting out of the palm of my hand good riddance they'll get their war and i'll get my riches they want to destroy this samantha it's so narrow-minded why destroy her when we can take her power and harness it for ourselves with the amount of

element 115 buried down there just imagine what we could do could mold the earth anew create it in our image a toast here's to dr schuster for gifting me this opportunity when we get the excavator up and running at the test site i'll be sure to get him access and here's to broken arrow and to opening new world but much like many others purnell had ulterior motives he didn't want to simply stop samantha he wanted to take her power for himself or for the sake of the united states but part of pernell's newfound insanity was

thanks to element 115 itself when the oar was initially getting mined he spent so much time near and in close proximity to it that it just corrupted him as it does broken arrow dream of mine for many years when i joined the company you know what i did what i cut my teeth on i sent men to their deaths that was a handler first for the oss and then cia oversaw ops and i sent in men to die i was a bow they were my arrows smokey john banana peter mccain tank dempsey list goes on

so many men lost but my ops were good job well done pat's on the back for purnell so i climbed the ladder and eventually became station chief here and spent much of my time now that i think about it in this very room after we'd mined the element 115 we'd store it in here i would stare at it for hours i got lost and then one day it just clicked i had to do what group 935 failed to do i would build a program to harness its power i was tired of killing i wanted to

create technological marvels help humanity improve the human condition and who knows maybe even bring the dead back to life prepare the broken arrow if you will now for now pernell would go off to his new facility camp edward otherwise known as nuketown to conduct his own experiments regardless with that setup with the soviets and americans we can finally return to the ultimus characters who last we saw were teleported from the future from 1945 to 1963. they landed at the kino facility in berlin where they were attacked by samantha they found an escape via lunar landers

which took them to the now overrun ascension facility samantha had turned all those corrupted by element 115 and all the monkeys who were tested on with the apothicon blood got loose as well part of the reason they have also arrived here is because richthofen's diary is also here upon arrival they are reached out by gersh who no longer exists in the physical realm but is still able to communicate with ultimus asking for their assistance to free him which they do there's not much else to it they release him from his ethereal form and he begins

to travel through space time and dimensions the real object ultimus got from their visit was richthofen's diary again so he knows what objects he needs to take control away from samantha the vril device and the focusing stone while the characters freed gersh by doing so they themselves were also accidentally pulled into the gersh device and flung into the future the mid to late 2000s to be exact they did wind up where richthofen had wanted to go the siberian facility where the vril device was left but they wound up trapped in a closet fortunately for them

there was a big movie being filmed at this location george romero had uncovered old documents left behind by group 935 and their experiments to bring the dead back to life years ago i did research for a world war ii movie i came across some old nazi documents i couldn't believe what i was reading element 115 necromancers raising the dead real creepy stuff we're completely surrounded the coolest thing some of that crazy [ __ ] happened right here and so he decided to make a movie on site he cast danny trejo sarah michelle gellar michael rooker

and robert england as his actors however once ultimus arrived a zombie outbreak occurred george romero was turned into a zombie himself but as for the four actors richtofen convinces them to help him get the verl device from the facility which they do the actors serve no greater role than this so richtofen leaves them behind to die the entire cast and production team disappear without a the rest of the trace of the dead casting crew went missing hollywood's lost its [ __ ] mind with this story an entire production vanishes crazy talk i told you this

is why you don't shoot in siberia agent i needed to sort this quickly i'd rather zombies come for me than an agent that's real horn i don't need that to venture off into a little bit of a side story this led george romero's assistant sally to begin searching for him she dug up research files and read documents pertaining to the likes of the ultimus crew i started going through his research and good [ __ ] lore this is a confusing mess so much [ __ ] about time travel different dimensions honestly i'm not even sure

he's getting into you can make this step up a mad german scientist a foul-mouthed american a drunk soviet and a warrior japanese soldier all working together her journey inevitably led her to investigate shangri-la where richtofen had accidentally teleported all those years ago in search of answers from two past explorers named brock and gary so i started with a simple one something about two guys named brock and gary looking for arthur they finished like dirt there next thing i know i'm in this jungle and it's hot and humid and the sky goes black like dark black

and look up there's an eclipse and these things start chasing me like trust me i know how it fighting them sounds long now i should be dead in fact i'm pretty sure i have died but it just keeps going these two are quite the oddity within the storyline as not much is explained about them at all they are both explorers with brock being the more knowledgeable one he's become aware of agartha or at least the tales of it and seeks to prove its existence that's all we know about them their travels led to shangri-la where

they were placed in an infinite temporal loop the heat and humidity is just excruciating according to the locals the temple should be in this mountain range just up this river gary do you hear that a waterfall we must be close hand me the binoculars there is a structure up ahead if this is truly a gateway to our gotha my work will finally be validated ah brock i don't think this place is abandoned don't be silly this place has to be thousands of years old i have found some unfinished carvings around the structures i can't make

out they do not look like wait what is this what the hell was that why is the sky dark it's an eclipse we must run what are those things zombies we have to find another way zombies what are you talking about the writings must have been right no don't touch that damn take a look around and try to find a way out i got nothing we will have to conserve our supplies take your shoes off and hand me your socks i have been trapped in the temple structure for days gary is dead and i don't

see a way out of here i can still hear the zombies outside i fear this is my last recording as the battery is about to die and i will soon follow one thing i can be certain of is that love they would discover the temple advance within it and die sometimes they would make more progress but no matter what they were stuck in a time loop even when they made it all the way to the end of richthofen's secret chamber and uncovered the focusing stone they were traveled back to the moment they first stepped foot

on the location i am now entering the antechamber i see some sort of altar and there is a rock suspended above it this is just wonderful an inscription rick tarr fenn the rock above the altar seems to be suspended in thin air i'm going to remove it now we've been in this jungle for days and haven't seen any sign of this hidden temple cannot give up it has to be here i can't shake this feeling like we're going in circles we should get to higher ground and take a look the heat and humidity is just

excruciating according to the locals the temple should be in this mountain range just up this river gary do you hear that a waterfall we must be close hand me the binoculars there is a structure up ahead if this is truly a gateway to our gotha my work will finally be validated sally the reporter from the call of the dead future travels to shangri-la and suffers the exact fate as brock and gary she actually winds up getting stuck with the two on their infinite time loop setting up these traps pretty damn proud of them if i

do say so myself wait i hear something can't help but think they hold some kind of key clues we should investigate the step to pyramid for some clues i think we should get the hell out of here while we still have the chance but we're so close to proving the existence ugh finally sorry the only thing more annoying than the undead are those two guys whoever they are anyway i've been trying to get some bars on myself for days and i'm having no luck i swear if i die a few more times i may actually

lose it at least then i'll have those agents off my back but continuing on character to arrive at shangri-la we are finally back to our main ultimus characters after obtaining the frill device from call of the dead they were teleported to shangri-la to obtain the focusing stone considering they themselves didn't have access to it they had to use brock and gary's infinite time loop to their advantage they led the two through the traps one by one until they were capable of getting them to richtofen's altar once the focusing stone was acquired richthofen now had the

two pieces he needed to swap bodies with samantha and take control of the ether but while in the process of teleporting to the moon similar to the accident that occurred at doris with the wunderwaffe dempsey fires the shrink ray at an incoming zombie which messes with the teleportation shooting them in an undesired trajectory they bounce off of the moon and accidentally wind up in the pentagon itself and this is right in the midst of dr layman unleashing the nova 6 gas per samantha's influence she convinces a now insane dr layman to release element 115 gas

through the facility they do not understand right they don't see what you are trying to accomplish but i will show them they want it weaponized i will show them what weaponized does soon they will know dr layman i was told you might be down here i dr layman what are you doing i am doing what i have to do you all must understand that is the facilities air filtration system if you release the gas then you will all learn a hard lesson in how disobeying her wishes has consequences damage where are the gas masks what

have you done and i'm have to get her out of my head goodbye dr schuster wait is this your doing samantha are you there we're truly doomed while dr shuster was capable of getting a gas mask on it is unknown whether he managed to survive as he does not make another appearance in the timeline after this event she also had yuri zavoysky who entered the gersh device exit here as well to unleash the undead test subjects and this is where the events of classified take place ultimus are forced to fight their way through the pentagon

during its zombie outbreak the characters are capable of surviving and actually find the teleporter shuster established from here to groom lake and they take it to almost safety samantha is still hot on their trail however they uncover the other teleporter that was attempted to be created by shuster to travel to the moon directly which they take but just as shuster feared the unfinished teleportation technology sends the characters to the moon but in the year 2025. despite the jump into the future it is finally the time where richtofen can enact his plan through his efforts he

opens the ether pyramid and uses the vril device to transfer souls with samantha richtofen takes control of the ether and zombies while inside samantha's body and samantha is now stuck in richtofen's old body it is here when maxis decides to step in after merging with the technology of griffin station when he initially killed himself he has been planning for a countermeasure against richthofen in the event that he did get control he devised a way to sever the link that he had with the zombies and so manages to convince nikolai dempsey and takio to help him

unbeknownst to them this plan effectively involved blowing up the world before we can continue with the timeline there is obviously now a huge gap in history ultimus teleported from 1963 to 2025 a period of 62 years so what developed within that time frame firstly mere days if that after ultimus's ventures through the pentagon jfk mcnamara castro and nixon planned their meeting the events at the pentagon with ultimus would be seen as a cautionary occurrence admittedly the aesthetic of the disaster during their trip is played up for the gameplay and not as severe as it would

imply as robert mcnamara had already planned the four got together to meet to discuss what to do about samantha as well as real-life politics for time and the world do not stand still change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future i said are certain to miss the future i miss that prime minister castro this missile crisis was the last straw we almost blew ourselves up now we invited you here today good faith in good faith to sort this thing out and

why is he here he lost as i always say forgive your enemies but remember their names now gentlemen as i like to think from the long history of the world that there are only a few generations sounds like someone breaking in just a storm dick sit down oh my god it appears the pentagon has been breached zombies gentlemen at times like these our capacity to retaliate must be and has to be massive to deter all forms of aggression gentlemen last words mr president yes jack any superlative words of inspiration for our humble troops do not

pray for easy lives my friends pray to be stronger men considering their hand in being just like group 935 samantha launched yet another attack on the four this time samantha had yuri play a direct hand in terrorizing the pentagon and he would be nicknamed the pentagon thief much of the storyline that happens here actually isn't too relevant in this timeline the four survive and go on to do what they did in real life but most importantly capture yuri and detain him to be questioned considering his connection to the whole zombie outbreak he is sent to

camp edward for it is their element 115 research facility but in the meantime before we get to that purnell had been doing some experimenting himself particularly with the elemental shard the last time we saw the elemental shard was when richtofen bound his and the rest of ultimus's soul to it and it was later taken away from him when he was transferred back to darice it was taken to the division 9 facility where they could study it but after the downfall of group 935 the americans obtained it and put it into storage purnell secretly took it

out of storage and had been using it particularly a new character dr hale was the one in charge of the shard she has a particular romantic fondness and love for pernell she used the elemental shard to power adam units they were all-purpose robots who served more or less capable of any general task but due to the shard being powered by souls when the adam units were powered by the shard they too felt like they became alive and she wanted to further experiment with this but purnell decided to take over this hypothesis for himself the electrical

output is unlike anything we've seen before director pernell come now dr hale this is element 115 we're talking about here we know what it's capable of that's what i thought too but the elemental shard it's different the levels of concentrated energy it contains well simply put our team has been unable to measure it it's unlike any element 115 sample we've studied before whenever we drain energy from it that that energy is replaced as if it's recharging itself this ability i think it's what maxis was looking for all those years ago i think it's the genesis

code that's unlikely doctor i know how it sounds but look at the adams when we charged them with regular element 115 it gave them power but when they were charged by the shard they feel and act different they feel alive dr maxis spent years reanimating the dead hell the germans made that group 935 primary purpose during the war but according to his own research that was the ceiling reanimation he could restore the body but not the mind or soul i know but he didn't have the shard if you'll let me run some tests i believe

i don't think lab rats are gonna cut it here i may have a candidate you can use i'll let you know when he's been delivered if what hale had said was true then he had his own test subject he wanted to bring back to life he had paxton ridge the only survivor from dempsey's extraction team venture to the rising sun facility and retrieve peter mccain's body it was here they tried to use the shard to revive him this is broken arrow operations director purnell accompanied by dr hale the date is june 1st 1964. it's approximately

1am we're about to begin test number 22. dr hale you may proceed when ready confirming conduits have been linked with the shard output set to 5000 volts duration set for 10 seconds beginning now damn i'm sorry dr hale i thought we had him director i don't believe it incredible assessing vitals first glance everything looks good i'll need some time to run a few tests but i think i think we've done it oh take all the time you need dr hale if we've done it i mean if we've truly restored life to the deceased we'd better

be damned sure we're right let's keep him quarantined for now begin your test when ready we need to make sure he is well who he was what was his name director peter his name was peter mccain i'll send you his file and doctor yes sir not a word of this to anyone outside the company not the cia not the dod broken arrow eyes only of course sir peter mccain was successfully brought back to life while he initially had side effects such as visions of apothecons they quickly faded out the department of defense also wanted to

use the elemental shard for different broken arrow experiments elsewhere and so confiscated it from purnell though not wanting to part with the item he instead broke the shard into two halves keeping one for himself thinking the dod was turning against him he had peter mccain swear a loyalty to him and broken arrow over the u.s dr hale says you're making big improvements every day now yes sir you might say i'm beginning to feel like the old me absolutely remarkable how far you've come these last few months can't be understated how's the memory loss still a

struggle sir if i close my eyes i can see it clearly for a moment the reece asylum the plane jump but then it's gone and the nightmares the nightmare sir dr hale mentioned something about strange dreams giant monsters medieval france not in weeks sir those have subsided outstanding news so what's next peter what are your plans once your recovery is completed sir well dr hale mentioned your interest in staying on at broken arrow broken arrow brought me back from beyond the veil sir i can think of no greater honor than repaying the organization for what

they've done believe me peter the honor would be all ours these are strange times i need good men like you in my circle dod's claws are deep into our organization 2d i've not confirmed it but i suspect they planted spies in our ranks last month out of the blue they forced me to give up the elemental shard as if they knew what we were up to i'm sorry to hear that sir oh that's all right dod don't know it but i managed to break the shard in two kept half so we can continue our work

we need to stay on our toes i need people i can trust you're welcome to join the organization but it'll mean swearing loyalty to broken arrow before the united states company over country i need to know that's something you can do i can do that sir as we established earlier purnell had become corrupted by the dark ether by frequently being in the presence of element 115. he began to hear the voices of corruption and he was influenced to try and find a way to the ether there must be a way there's got to be a

way the voices in my head it's been years now they they won't leave me alone the only way to temper them is is liquid courage at night it's worse it's lonely here it's just so quiet in the middle of the desert i i hear them seeping through the dry cracks of dead dirt they want me to find the way through the gateway i found a schematic in dr richthofen's journey he he made a plan of a back-up plan to build a device a fast lane we tried to build it but we didn't have the necessary

components they well they just don't exist the last several months i've had this reoccurring dream in it i'm able to merge with the ether the spirits they say it's the only way i need to investigate this further the device purnell refers to is the mpd apparently richtofen had formed schematics on a method to build one of his own instead of having to take the one away from samantha though obviously he never got around to building it as he didn't need to the americans did though they crafted the apd or the american pyramid device by all

stretches of the imagination it functions nearly identically to the moon pyramid even in the way it requires souls to charge though the one thing it never seemed capable of was being able to tap into the ether itself i'll admit i've had my concerns cornelius but if what you say is true mk alpha could transform interrogation practices not just transform sawyer revolutionized using the apd to harness the power of element 115 we'll be able to interrogate subjects from within their own subconscious we can access their thoughts manipulate their emotions rewrite their memories we can procure any

confession brigadier general what i'm offering you is mind control on a level mk ultra could never dream of accomplishing so what's the holdup what am i missing providing power to the apd is proving well difficult the design is based on group 935's analysis of the mpd which means its source of power is if you're about to suggest what i think you are the answer is no it was the only way rick hoffman's men were able to charge the main pyramid device i am not and i repeat not letting you kill soldiers to harvest their souls

we prefer the term life force actually call it whatever the hell you want we're not group 935 we're not killing people to power your pyramid find another way for now or i'm shutting this down fortunately for purnell he didn't actually need soldiers and live subjects to charge the apd similar to how schuster accidentally killed a rat next to the mpd an 80 am unit broke down near the pyramid and thanks to the elemental shard having been powering it its quote-unquote soul went into the apd you had something for me dr hale yes director weiss bring

me another one this morning there was an incident with an adam it short-circuited and broke down we're not quite sure how or why but i think what happened next will have your attention here you are dr hale hello how may i be of service the adam died right next to one of the life force fuel canisters and and twice yes ma'am malfunction malfunction power failure watch what happens remarkable dr hale i i'm not sure how this is possible but you may have just saved this project as pernell had expected by charging the apd they could

access the thoughts of those put in it manipulate their emotions and mind control them it was the perfect device to be used as an interrogation instrument and this is where yuri zavoysky comes back into play after being detained at the pentagon and sent to camp edward he is interrogated by purnell where he attempts to extract information about samantha and agartha i swear i tell you what i know we've only scratched the surface the night of november 6 1963 you gained access to the pentagon how i do not know i just appear i do what she's

saying i just appear who is she the girl the little girl she was in my head in yuri head for so long slayer that ma why did she send you who was she targeting i i did not know you lied tell me who she was targeting people people who tried to stop her she sent me to stop them i obey try to stop them i take weapons get out of my head i can feel you look huggy not until we're finished did she tell you about her next attack next attack what is her next attack

what's she planning she she said many many things about past present future she see all time is same that is how she travels she show me what is it what if she showed you hillary she showed me moon and she showed me this place secret government facility is she planning to attack here not for a long time 50 maybe 60 years there will be big boom then she attack don't play games with me i never play games i tell you what she tell me she tell me you will be there too for now i feel

my name terminate the session end it now what else did she show you yuri what else have you seen i seen different worlds universes past and future these things are meaningless because all paths will be taken different worlds you think this place is only place this is one of many and in each four men attacked what do you mean four men four men split in two beginning and end first and last alpha and omega primus what the hell is he talking about who are they yuri their names yuri what are their names they are trapped

i see them for years they are trapped in the endless cycle no matter how they try to break it there is no escaping psycho always beginning it is the ether once it was above all worlds but then it corrupted one and like virus is corruption spread two angels they come to me in dream it must be code for something yuri what are the two angels they come from place above existence agartha yuri this is very important how do you get to agartha why do you hear the voices too answer the question it is not for

you it is not for anything of us answer the question director we should halt the interrogation his levels are fluctuating rapidly we're done when i say we're done tell me how to get there yuri i do not know and even if i did i would not tell you you sure have been marked by it you are cursed i hear it in your thoughts i can feel it it's corruptions i can do this all day gary tell me what i want to know get out of my head the confluence girls the children how do we get

there you do not possess power to extend its embrace even if you find way to ascend you will not comprehend what you saw it would destroy you dr hale report one moment director he's gone sir yuri is killed and pernell then begins shifting his attention on trying to ascend himself to agartha he has hale use the apd to experiment on him with the elemental shard this is dr hale conducting pernell test number one the date is august 3rd 1967. the director has secured himself inside the apd and we are ready to begin the transfer when

i flip this switch an electrical current will be pulled from the elemental shard and will flood the apd are you ready director yes dr hale cornelius are you sure about this more than anything commencing test director director director what are you all right better than all right my dear run it again peter mccain catches wind of his experiments and fears exposure to element 115 has gotten to purnell which was correct he sends a report to the dod to take appropriate action this is peter mccain deputy director at camp edward february 4th 1968 personal log last

week officer weiss spoke with me about an incident he witnessed on january 26th at 0 300 weiss witnessed an unauthorized access of the apd weiss claimed it was being used by dr hale and director purnell he believes these experiments have been running for some time now which lines up with the numerous complaints i've received about purnell's erratic behavior one week later on february 2nd i witnessed firsthand what weiss reported i don't know what the purpose of this experiment is it's certainly not authorized by either broken arrow or the defense department now i can't say i'm

surprised dr hale is so willingly assisting the director her affection for him is well known around the base i also can't say i'm surprised purnell would take advantage of her affection my old friend has changed in recent years i suspect his exposure to element 115 is the reason for his newfound confidence i've decided to inform brigadier general sawyer the department of defense will decide his fate purnell found out about his report and subsequently detained mccain in a cell what what happened where am i cornelius four years ago i asked you to swear no an oath

to the company company over country at that time you pledged loyalty i guess we have different definitions of the word loyal this this is one of our solitary cells how how did i get here put some knockout juice in your tea passed out like a baby had my men throw you down here you see they're still loyal to me especially once i informed the staff that you've been experiencing delusions due to 115 exposure you're a threat to yourself and all those around you no no no no no that's not true you know that's not true

and to think after all i've done for you i carried the guilt of your death for years i've carried it for so long i was determined to find a way to bring you back i find a way bring you back from the great beyond and this is how you repay me cornelius you're not well you need help you're suffering from aggressive 115 exposure you're not seen clearly oh on the contrary i see clear now than i ever have i walk through the land of the blind with one eye open and what do you do you

go and file a report where the department of defense that director cornelius cornell is unstable and a threat to national security can't have you interfering with my plans peter you can't stop it purnell sawyer will come he'll bring his men he'll see what you've become of course he will but it won't matter by then it'll be too late with mccain detained purnell and dr hale continued their experiments inside the apd purnell's entire being would be altered his human body was changed into that of pure energy while this was happening major sawyer and his men arrived

to arrest purnell thanks to the report from peter mccain this is dr hale conducting elemental shard test number 54. the date is march 15th 1968. initiating test now earth is going on where is director pernell he's inside the apd dr hale i need you to step away from the control panel private yes sir no wait you can't stop the test we're right in the middle doctor director purnell has betrayed his country and is considered an enemy of the state he's coming with us right now private you may proceed wait no what the hell the whole

facility just lost power what what have you done to me everybody stand back what the hell is that thing director purnell cornelius director pernell is no more and all of you are unwelcome sir we have a containment breach nova 6 gas is leaking throughout the facility everybody move get the hell out of here the gas is the least of your concerns open fire private get on the horn we need as the radio implies purnell now the avogadro killed everyone peter mccain who was imprisoned also dies but thanks to the oddity in which his life was

brought back his soul would remain floating around the area as for the avogadro there's a slight unanswered mystery about what happens to him after these events he is back inside of the apd as it now functions as a sort of detainment it is possible that sawyer and his men were able to force him back inside before they were killed or perhaps purnell decided to go inside of his own volition after this event the us managed to piece together what happened what the avogadro was what it was potentially capable of and they placed a nuke near

the facility as a fail-safe if the avogadro got out and for now they abandoned the facility hoping to keep what happened here a secret moving in the timeline there is also what developed with the ascension facility shortly after ultimus's endeavors there harvey yina had to pick up the pieces from their loss he intended on carrying out the plan they had initially formed when obtaining the apothecon blood and that was delivering it to pablo marinus at the siberian facility so he could craft the agarthin device conrad that is enough now as it stands we must account

for the facts two days ago one of our research facilities was attacked all personnel are dead with the exception of dr gersch and dr zavoysky who are both still missing what about foreign troops we do not know they have not been recovered now i know what dr gersh and his work meant to this organization however all is not lost we must remember that all is not lost we have no leader who is going to lead us now you an american i'd remind you to think before you speak conrad i am one of the founding members

of this organization and you are someone who has forgotten their place in it i am not saying i should lead it likely i would rather not i would leave it to the committee to find a suitable replacement however with americans broken arrow grows stronger by the day and we must act quickly if we are to stay ahead of them what is it you are proposing some of you may remember four years ago a contact at an abandoned group 935 facility reached out to us he promised to construct the agarthin device for us provided we brought

him the blood of the beast we never brought him the blood instead we used it to fulfill our own needs i propose i take a small crew and deliver the blood as promised to our ally in siberia with the agarthan device and soviet hands we will not only end this cold war overnight we will bring humanity together create a better world they boarded a ship and began the transfer of the blood however as was observed during the experiments the blood was getting angry the apothecan blood broke out of containment and attacked the whole crew killing

everyone on board this is dr harvey yinga it's the first of january 1964. happy new year we are 15 minutes out from the abandoned group 935 siberian facility where i will deliver the blood as promised for the creation of the agarthin device after i have secured it i've arranged for rendezvous with my handler who will take me back to american soil uh it's been nearly 20 years i can hardly remember my former life after group 935 disbanded i had a choice come home or turn to the soviets and bury myself in the heart of their

organization i chose the latter when again would america get such an opportunity here there was a moment back in 45 right after mccain was discovered where i thought dr richtofen had discovered the truth that i was a spy he was right of course but it turned out dr richtofen had his own problems with group 935 it's time to go back home darn it if i'm not excited to eat a hot apple pie and catch a game of baseball sir he's blocking containment what on earth is going on it broke containment it started attacking the guards

following we need to move the ship would make its way to the siberian facility but unfortunately no one was there to deliver nor claim the blood meanwhile with the other divisions of broken arrow for this story we follow a new agent of the company named russman he worked for broken arrow we can only imagine about as long as they were formed upwards of 40 years we are going to be moving forward in time quite a bit while we've been largely talking in the time period of the late 60s russman's story begins around 2025 broken arrow

has still been advancing within this time building new facilities to prepare for samantha's attacks there was one in china as well as hanford washington one task rusman was sent on was to camp edward knowing of the avogadro's creation being that of pure energy broken arrow thought that they could potentially harness it use it as an infinite power source so he alongside another employee named george barkley were sent to camp edward to transfer a piece of the avogadro to the hanford site the mission was fairly easy as they encountered little to no hurdles this is case

officer barkley it's july 6th 2025. myself and project manager russman have returned to camp edward and god hell you doing get your ass up here we got ground to cover i'm sorry sir i just get a bit nervous what the nova six gas put that fear in your back pocket once the incident in 68 was contained they powered down the site as long as we don't flip the master switch we should be fine it's not the gas sir it's the robots oh come on now barclay robots ain't gonna harm anybody from what i've been told

as long as we're on site they remain perfectly still don't move an inch but moment we leave bang it's like a robot atropolis over here and they won't interfere with us long as we mind our business we'll be fine stop staring at him properly nobody likes to be stared at what about the entity the entity oh well that thing should be coiled up nice and cozy what's the sensor reading barclay he's still in there sensors say the entity is still secure of course it is ain't nothing breaking out of that tin can not sure how

they managed to get it back in but we're lucky they did they're not worried it might escape worried [ __ ] they were damn terrified of the thought didn't you see the nuke they rigged up out there what you better believe they installed they measure that thing would escape but that could happen right now come on bobby don't be stupid that thing ain't busting out unless someone's stupid enough to open the damn door all right i'm gonna give it a kick you ready you're clear facility transport via pyramid device is now available all right let's

just grab a little juice what that's it [ __ ] we're not sending the entity to hanford just grabbing a sample what does hanford want with it they've been interested in the entity for some time now wanted to pursue further scientific endeavors with it whatever that means well i know i'll be up here once we get out of here hey i don't suppose you've seen an elemental shot lying around anywhere have you an elemental what now a loud piece of rock that looks like glass gives you a headache when you look at it no i

haven't seen anything like that no sir why do you ask probably nothing i always wondered if poinel kept a piece for himself anywho what's this i hear about you leaving us with a cdc you heard right i'll be out at the end of the month for a new opening well we got a long drive back can't wait to hear all about it if you remember earlier the dod had confiscated the elemental shard at least half of it from pernell so research could be conducted elsewhere scientists within broken arrow began using the shard on animals to

try and create biological weapons bios as they were referred to rosman was witness to the oversight of much of the projects including the bios's creation he was very hesitant and cautious about its purpose which proved correct it didn't take long into the bios's testing that they became rampant and attacked the facility he was at everything was inevitably overrun and the facility had to be powered down and abandoned russman was the only survivor another incredibly crucial detail about russman is that considering he's been involved with element 115 for so long he's suffered much of the side

effects fortunately for him he's never heard the voices of corruption but instead he suffered from severe memory loss he inevitably became so forgetful he couldn't remember his own name mere flashes of his past every now and then and we finally catch back up with the main story in 2025 the earth is nuked thanks to maxis and the ultimus characters this not so surprisingly wiped out a large population of the world and subsequently turned them to the undead humanity that which remained was thrown into disarray and on top of that there was a current battle struggle

for power max's plan a of blowing up the world and cutting richthofen off from the ether didn't work and so he turned to his plan b simply overpowering richtofen if he could open a gateway to agartha he could in turn find richthofen's soul and throw him out he intended on opening a portal by activating three polarization devices when all active the energy created would be so massive it would open a gateway to agartha what has occurred cannot be undone however i realized the calculations were made in haste and could potentially threaten the entire globe that

was not the intent i considered a possible plan b should this occur but this plan would consist of creating global polarization devices that would it appears i have difficulty speaking similarly richtofen's plan involved doing the same thing but in favor of him if the pylons were activated in his favor then his connection to the ether would be enhanced making him nigh unstoppable giving him absolute power considering both of them are spirits technically speaking they both had to try and convince others to do it for them maxis's was much easier considering he had the ability to

merge with electricity he could reach out to anyone listening he did get his own group of followers to attempt to activate the pylons for him hello hello are you there we have activated the spire as you instructed but the shamblers are swarming our location and we can't hold out against their superior numbers from on without aid hello please come in it is vital that you instruct us on that while maxis had accrued his own small group willing to try and help him they were either killed or completely abandoned his pleas altogether as they felt he

was using and lying to them you can manipulate everybody into doing what you want we know the truth calculating works in your so yeah you keep talking but now i'm gonna hear you because you're destroying me everything electronics start with evil radio box thing richtofen on the other hand had a much trickier time finding people to talk to as he could only communicate with zombies and they weren't very practical fortunately for him a freaky coincidence occurred a group of survivors turned to eating zombie flesh to survive in this apocalyptic world this group was known as

the flesh those who ate the flesh of zombies became connected to the ether and could then hear richtofen's voice he would largely use his influence to get these individuals to kill those who were helping course i have this maxis nothing else no i won't do that how do i know you're not lying you can be making all that out sure that only makes sense really but they're my friends yes of course i see now i'll do it i'll do it for you for you and the flesh but in a turf war kind of scenario both

sides fought with nearly everyone being killed by each other or hello zombies this is jackass flats calling any human community within broadcasting distance we're located at standard map coordinates 37 degrees 0 7 north 116 degrees 03 west this is a warning to anyone contacted by a group of mysterious voices several of our party began to hear the voices and their competing instructions and incompatible demands drove a wedge down the center of the camp half of the camp is carrying out the demands of only three electronics this voice is a big long and its ultimate goal

is unclear the other voice cannot be heard by humans who have not been on the law madness this way lies neither of these instruction sets will understand those of us who have not chosen a side have been hunted by both sides seeking to force us to assist them as for broken arrow once the nukes hit and the zombie apocalypse began the company effectively went under they destroyed any and all records of theirs that could possibly implicate them for having been responsible for any potential outbreak ten years pass after the world was nuked and we are

finally introduced to our new main characters marlton johnson is a nerd seems like the most accurate description we actually know very little about him but he is incredibly intelligent when it comes to space time and computers his story begins before the world was destroyed browsing various military conspiracy theories online he came across one on camp edward and their ada m units how these all-purpose robots began to express emotion and were being used as soldiers he believed this to be true and so ventured to the abandoned facility to investigate himself what he found was a well-kept

landscape despite not having been active for over 60 years it was like nothing ever happened and this was thanks to the adam units keeping to their duties the entire time they're not supposed to move around when humans are looking and so keep still like mannequins my reason for being here should come as no surprise the adam initiative project toy soldier i am aware of the advanced robotics program happening at this facility i had to come see for myself if the rumors were true this is a secret the government shall not keep from us i don't

care if it's been 60 years oh you mean to say you're not familiar with the adam initiative the home service robot meant to cater to its owner's every need it was supposed to revolutionize the world except there was a problem according to various internet forums i subscribed to the robots began experiencing emotions this became exponentially more problematic when project toy soldier was started they turned their robots into killer soldiers but the robots did not wish to die that was only the start of where it all went wrong there are two theories over why the project

was abandoned theory number one the facility's computer system went haywire and took control of the adams makes sense but there's little evidence to support it theory number two an incident occurred that led to the creation of an artificial entity this entity took control of the facility turning the adams against the facility's occupants i don't think i buy theory number two i've read my science fiction and an ai gun rogue seems much more plausible regardless after the facility was shut down the robotics programs were discontinued i maintain what i've always said the robots at this facility

are still alive how else do you explain this place we are in the middle of the desert yet this facility still has power the grass is green and the buildings are well maintained who do you think is taking care of this place there hasn't been a human here in decades those robots the ones that stand so perfectly still they're the caretakers and now i fear we've angered them while investigating being at the right place at the right time the sirens for a nuke went off and so he locked himself in the bunker he did put

out a distress signal which was investigated by the cdc and the fbi however they were attacked by zombies and died when he reemerged from the bunker the world was in shambles like many he was forced to wander the earth where he wound up meeting abigail misty breyerton she is a simple farm girl that's pretty much all there is to it her mother died sometime in her past and her father was killed by the zombies during the apocalypse she met marlton and began traveling with him as they both took a slight fancying to each other then

there is samuel j stuhlinger he has a history he prefer no one knew about and that's the fact that he used to be a member of the flesh he partook in the cannibalism of zombie meat and he too gained the rare ability to hear the voice of richtofen through the ether and finally there was russman himself after the downfall of earth and broken arrow he was forced to wander but thanks to the years of element 115 exposure his mind was gone he could still talk react and move about his life as he was more than

capable enough to survive on his own but memories would slip his mind on their journey both stulenger and russman met each other and banded together they stole a bus and began wandering as a team all four of these characters paths would cross in a small town near hanford this group would go on to be known as victus it is here where the events of transit take place banded together for the first time the four characters are reached out to by maxis to activate the polarization devices so he can quote unquote save the world he obviously

puts on the front of a friendly ally despite his more devious intentions but while reached out to by maxis richthofen also reaches out to the only one he can stullinger he tries to get him to convince the other three to activate the polarization devices in his favor a specially difficult task as a voice inside his head doesn't make him appear as the most sane of individuals in the end the characters follow the only direction they seem to have and activate the polarization devices in maxis's favor despite not doing what he wanted richthofen still hopes that

they may still decide to help his cause and so uses the power of the dark ether to teleport them to china at dye rise it's an old broken arrow facility long since abandoned and in disarray after the zombie apocalypse nevertheless it's where the second polarization device lies i don't understand why are you doing this why me travel where don't you get it there's nothing left oh how did you what what do you mean man the rift well maybe i don't wanna huh did you think of that oh you can't tell them about the flesh what

i did they'd kill me if they knew oh [ __ ] if you're gonna talk to your imaginary friend stu you might want to wait till you're in a z-free zone get over here now come on come on what do we do now we arm up find a good place to defend kick ass that's it i don't understand what are you talking about stewinger misty made it pretty clear except for hate beginners we're going down we're going down fighting we've been here before the reason the characters are respawning is thanks to richtofen it's one of

the only times the dark ether has shown the ability to fully re-animate the dead to their original state and pretty much the only time in the entire timeline anything like this is done so take it with a grain of salt regardless richtofen cannot allow them to fail they are the only ones who can activate the polarization devices for him so he will reset them as many times as it takes to get it right however similarly to what the characters did in hanford they activate the pylon in maxis's favor the next location the four are sent

to is africa the final pylon is located at purgatory point the old mining town that first discovered 115 and was teleported underground enough walking for today we set up camp here in case you boneheads have forgotten the world is broken very broken the dead walk the earth and what remains of civilization is at the mercy of forces we barely understand what makes you think we're gonna find something different at this new place i don't know that we will but at least we'll be sure uh sure of what exactly i don't know his memory's going again

your name is russman russ mann that my first or last name we don't know you're just russman anyway you're a former operative from broken arrow you've been walking the earth since the uh um incident yeah i think i remember the town that's right that's where you found us when we met you already had your lap dog in tow what do you mean lap dog huh i'm the only one who knows what to do don't talk stupid stew all you know is whatever the german tells you to think i don't think you're in any position to

ridicule mr stuhlinger particularly given your own proclivities you better watch your mouth before you say something you regret boy enough we need to remember why we're here we've all been jumping through hoops for reasons we don't fully understand fully understand all right for reasons we don't understand it all point is we do it we keep moving we keep fighting it's what we do day in day out if you really need a reason why we do this i'll give you one we do it because doing something anything is better than doing nothing the rift is less

than one day's travel we move it down what if we don't find answers then we'll just have to ask more questions similar to the last two ventures before it richthofen and maxis attempt to convince victus to side with them thanks to the likes of a mysterious man named arthur who's been trapped here victis do as they done prior activate the pylon in favor of maxis he gains control of the ether and finally reveals his true sinister intentions the process has begun now i controlled the ethos energy i can at last reach agatha ah you fools

why did you listen to him regretfully i must inform you that neither the earth nor its people will survive ah i tried the heart of on you oh god once the gateway is open i will finally be reunited with my dearest samantha hello are you forgetting something even if you're rich wretched daughter is still alive she has my body if you are so eager to re-enter the physical world richtofen i will grant you that fish several things were done here first and most importantly to him was the safety of samantha after the events of moon

her soul had been stuck inside richtofen's body and so maxis took her soul and sent it to agartha as punishment for richtofen he took his soul out of samantha's body and stuck it inside of a zombie this would go on to be known as zombie richtofen or undead richtofen from here maxis would proceed to destroy earth and all of its inhabitants as weird as it may sound this was not the death of our main characters victus ultimus and zombie richtofen would all live explaining them now wouldn't make much sense the only one we can understand

for now is ultimus after samantha's soul was taken out of richtofen's body dempsey takio and nikolai were left on the moon with a comatose-like corpse they took the body and used the teleporter on the moon where they were yet again sent through time they went from 2035 to 1963. they arrived at groom lake the nevada base of the united states when dr shuster was performing his own teleportation tests log entry 97 august 3rd 1963 the mata transference device has been realigned again in order to accommodate additional temporal variables this is test number eleven human subject

five one private hastings if the transparent specs are correct private hastings will arrive at griffin station on august third nineteen sixty three if he arrives at this date a communication link will be successfully established and we will have confirmed that the teleporters temporal anomalies have been compensated for are you ready private hastings yes sir i can't understand a word of what he's saying in that ridiculous spacesuit a simple thumbs up will suffice private hastings good initiate the transference matrix moment of truth dr richard did it work do we have a stable connection no sir nothing

we've lost him that's the fifth man we've lost this base is rapidly running out of privates now i suppose they're all just dancing around on the moon somewhere in the far future having a grand old time wait wait what what's happening richard what did you do nothing sir something's coming through hit the alarm get me panel we need soldiers here immediately who the hell are you where did you go wait no no no no it's not possible from here purnell who had yet to establish broken arrow and wasn't yet the avogadro figured that they would

make for good test subjects to be further studied this is cornelius purnell report 639 august 3rd 1963. earlier today while dr schuster was performing test number 11 we had an unexpected arrival through the teleporter we've been unable to verify what year they came from our struggle with temporal anomalies during teleportation is well documented but we are certain of where they came from the moon this event alone is baffling enough and is without explanation but it becomes downright absurd when you take into account that i know two of the four individuals corporal tank dempsey of the

united states marine corps who i knew personally and was declared kia after a failed rescue op to recover peter mccain and dr edward richthofen from group 935 who went missing weeks after we formalized the agreement to initiate operation stapler i didn't recognize the other two but they and corporal dempsey were in a delusional near catatonic state medical evaluation shows they've suffered from excessive element 115 exposure and quoting our medic i'm not even sure how they're still alive as for dr richthofen initially we believed him doa upon closer examination we discovered his body is very much

alive just zero brain activity how it came to be that these four men were on the moon we may never know however for the immediate future we'll be keeping them here at groom lake they are ideal candidates for additional 115 testing the four are held in custody at hangar four a slight distance away from the groom lake teleporter in fact when they themselves arrived after their visit from the pentagon their future versions were already held captive but for now this is where ultimates are while the world in 2035 is destroyed they continue to live in

1963 with a currently soulless richtofen body from here the timeline ends and a new one is formed for this we follow the perspective of samantha while she has largely served as an antagonist of the ultimus characters at the end of the day she was just a little lost girl she didn't want to control the ether she didn't want ultimate power what she wanted was for life to be normal a father a childhood normalcy after maxis placed her soul within agartha she recognized how he became corrupted and evil she wanted to get out of agartha and

she needed help whilst in agartha a rift to a new dimension had opened up and she reached out to this universe's characters for help we finally reached dimension 63 the timeline and characters that we've met so far all still exist in their own universe but being a different dimension this one veers off in its own unique path with pretty much the exact same characters it is also where the timeline gets quite confusing this timeline spurs on a whole series of paradoxes events which could not possibly exist nor make sense but i'm going to try my

best to help you understand as setup there are three maps which pertain directly to this dimension origins mob of the dead and shadows of evil the former two hold their own little niche but origins is very very important in the original timeline element 115 was discovered thanks to apothicon sending meteors to a whole bunch of different dimensions and it was simply found but in dimension 63 history is very much important if you recall from the beginning of the entire timeline the apothecans on their second escape from the dark ether attacked humanity the humans banded together

and fought off the apothicons thanks to four heroes it was the event known as the great war that happened in this universe because of that event massive deposits of 115 reside in what is now northern france group 935 was similarly formed to research this element and maxis and richthofen joined the organization unlike the original timeline in this universe richthofen greatly respects maxis and even views him as a sort of father figure researchers within group 935 were able to uncover remnants of the great war and statues of the four heroes from it during the war the

four heroes wielded elemental stabs and the researchers find documents written about them in these catacombs maxis then intends on recreating these stabs and having richtofen head its development the ancient texts describe an artifact known to them as the amplification rod it is my firm belief this item is instrumental to harnessing the energy of the elemental stones unfortunately neither the rod nor the stones have been recovered from any of our dig sites i feel we must push forward regardless as such i have drawn up plans to create replica rods based on the descriptions from the main

chamber i will instruct richtofen to begin fabrication immediately continued research of element 115 creates localized energy fields which leads maxis to believe in the concept of gateways across space and time researching element 115 continues to yield unforeseen results the conversion process creates localized energy fields which appear to function as portals bringing forth objects of indeterminate origin it is my hypothesis however outlandish that this transfer of matter may actually be occurring through space and time i believe the answer may lay with the broken rune stones located at the mount perhaps channeling sufficient energy from the conversion

generators to their location may prove fruitful his hypothesis would prove correct as samantha begins reaching out to him from agartha for help the child's voice calls to me more frequently than ever at first she spoke only of her imprisonment in a mythical realm known as agartha now she claims to be my daughter even though i know no such child exists i fear my sanity may be slipping away from me over time the researchers working at the dig site would suffer from element 115 exposure group 935 also invent three giant mechanical robots to help them in

the war named freya odin and thor and maxis slowly becomes obsessed with the voice of samantha who's frequently talking to him and comes to believe her to be the key to everything the large deposits of element 115 slowly take over the camp the knights who fought back in the great war are resurrected and maxis becomes near catatonic thanks to his frequent exposure to it richtofen who's been cautiously observing maxis's erratic behavior over the past year fears what the element has done to him and everyone seeing the undead come back to life he takes drastic measures

and preserves maxis's brain at the same time of this outbreak there was still a world war going on hence why the research into 115 was taking place in the first place because of that nations from all around the globe sent spies to france to observe group 935's progress these include the likes of tank dempsey from the united states nikolai belinsky of the soviet union and takio masaki from japan unlike the ultimus characters these ones are never experimented on meaning their personalities and character are much more flushed out and not designated to acting via a stereotype

the three are present during the zombie outbreak and all converge on richtofen's location i would play the scene but there is copyrighted music seeing the undead horde as a common enemy the four team up for the sake of survival this group would go on to be known as premise samantha then reaches out to this universe's version of these characters and asks for their help in setting her free on a slight side note samantha for a period of time is going to begin speaking with an american accent there is no reason for this canonically within the

story the change spurred on from the concept of this map delivering us a new beginning and part of that new beginning was changing samantha the vision for how the narrative would play out was not fully realized at the time and thus samantha would for a brief period in history have an american accent she would later revert back to german this does not affect her story or differentiate arcs within her character in any way it winds up being an audible inconsistency regardless premise choose to heed her pleas of freedom they decipher and follow the steps written

down by the ancients and open a gateway to agartha during their ventures they had also transferred maxis's brain into a drone which they sent through the portal maxis's brain arrived at the house and was greeted by dr monty despite maxis's lack of a soul monty provided him with a new body to put the brain in similarly dr monty also retrieved samantha and brought her to the house he cleansed her of the dark aether's influence and she became an innocent soul once more from here maxis would indulge his curiosities being a man of science and exploration

he uses a teleporter within the house to explore different dimensions one of which is called empty earth in this new dimension a different version of maxis had been collecting and or recreating artifacts from all different timelines it had been tampered with so much that the world itself became unstable and was literally falling apart at the seams the other maxis had constructed something he had labeled zerobase to house all of these artifacts amongst them was the chronorium a book which chronicled the entire history past present and future pertaining to the individual reading it across all reality

that universe's maxis placed it under heavy security and made it accessible only to those possessing a soul monty then proceeds to tell maxis how he wishes to create a reality where the apothecons never existed to create this reality he needs the summoning key the first artifact in creation but to do so he needs the assistance of those with souls and thus maxis reaches out to the one person he knows he can trust and the reason he's even still alive to begin with richtofen maxis informs him all about the wonders of what he's experienced and how

they can rid the world of zombies richtofen accepts this task and so maxis tells him about the chronorium if richtofen gets it he'll know exactly how when and where to get the summoning key but before we can continue richtofen's journey we must first take a detour into the slight future where we're going may seem a bit random and off topic however it is very significant everything that's going to take place is still in dimension 63 the same universe where premise just helped samantha for this we must talk about mob of the dead the events of

mob of the dead are fairly self-contained at least when it comes to the four main characters the time period is the 1920s salvatore sal de luca opened gambling houses across chicago and it gave rise to the deluca crime family billy hansen was hired as a hitman and sal would come to view him as the son he never had michael finn o'leary was brought on board due to his hand in the gambling business and rigging sporting events finn got married to a woman named angela beau an aspiring starlet with delusion of grandeur and finally sel also

began working with albert the weasel arlington due to his reputation for being a master schemer and bank robber but over time as his mob empire grew it slowly began to fall apart the chicago police who were previously accepting bribes from the de luca crime family no longer began accepting them finn's wife filed for a divorce a heist goes wrong for al and he wakes up in the hospital and all of this leads to sal killing a prostitute out of frustration the police no longer willing to turn a blind eye to sal's empire arrest him an

investigation further develops into the crime family which leads to the arrest of billy hansen on account of multiple homicides finn was arrested when his wife turned over evidence to the police convicting him of gambling fraud an al gets found guilty of grand larceny grand theft auto arson conspiracy and battery all four mobsters are sentenced to spend their time in prison at alcatraz the mobsters themselves don't hold too much relevance to the overall timeline they instead found themselves victims of timing they were at the wrong place at the wrong time you see richtofen's blood is very

important while we may not have covered his adventures just yet due to the whole time travel thing a later version of richthofen we're going to get to has traveled through dimension time and time again every time someone travels through a portal powered by element 115 their blood is changed and this is a cumulative effect the more one travels the more of the ether is absorbed into their bodies this comes with no side effects aside from the potency of one's cells due to richtofen having gone off on his own adventures through dimensions like i said we'll

get to them here soon his blood is the most potent of all it has the ability to open a portal to agartha for the apothecons and so the shadow man sought to create a pocket dimension at alcatraz a sort of purgatory there was no escape no matter what happened you were destined to simply repeat history over and over again effectively keeping those here trapped once richthofen and his compatriots were here he could siphon his blood and get to agartha that was the shadow man's plan but before we continue with his goals we must first talk

about richtofen himself as he too had plans at alcatraz after the events of origins premise richtofen traveled to many dimensions with the help of maxis there were many artifacts he needed to acquire and events that needed to be set up one of the first things he did was build a chamber for the victus crew from the original timeline to be stored in as well as retrieving blood vials from these specific mobsters i'll explain the need for the blood vials at a later point when it makes more sense within the timeline the only reason richthofen knows

that he needs to do this is because of a paradoxical cycle he is already in a future version of himself already did these things and collected these items so he has the information and knows to do the same to make it simple a lot of events simply conjoined to this exact location which is why he reaches out to the illuminati of this dimension and convinces the warden and guard to build a secret chamber for them with cryo chambers which they do anyway from here richtofen leaves unaware of the shadow man's goals speaking of which we

can finally return to his plans playing out he somehow managed to reach out to the warden of the prison and turn him the warden became obsessed with the shadow man as though he were a god he worshipped him he praised him and he did whatever he wanted today is a red letter occasion i sit in my sanctuary brandy in hand overlooking my prize my prison mine a temple of concrete and corrupted flesh tilting on the axis of hell itself it is beautiful i can't recall the last time i indulged in they appear to have gone

to my head congratulations and good luck so thoughtful of the doj to send me a bottle after all their posturing and blathering and delays delays delays but now the island is open a full year early thanks to me and its true purpose our purpose written in the apocryphal pages of history pulled from the flames of ignorance the first drop of blood of course it should be my own not too much now not yet oh early to bed tonight tomorrow i will be reborn like i said earlier the four mobsters were victims of circumstance the shadow

man wanted the warden to kill the four which would inherently transform the island to the pocket dimension that he wanted effectively using them to lay the trap for richtofen what am i doing wrong nothing every interpretation by every scholar i have made real in flesh and blood and still the dark ones remain silent they are deaf blind and dumb wherever it is they reside in the fabric of reality have i not bled the wicked have i not placed the markers on the proper lines what more what more i am tired and i have grown so

very disturbed waiting for the release that was promised but i fear will never be delivered because they do not exist no wretched are the thralls who despair in darkness wretched richard richard the work will continue with or without the illuminati all they do is talk and scheme and pass judgment on methods that they deem unorthodox what the hell with their protection i will awaken this island even if it takes every last soul in her walls if i fail i will be locked in here and soon join them all in hell the result is the same

but while this was playing out the mobsters were having their own quarrels by some means al managed to convince sal billy and finn that he could build a makeshift plane and escape they believed that he could do this and for eight months they worked on collecting the resources needed but at some point everyone realized the ridiculous nature of what al was trying to accomplish it led to infighting with al taking all of the blame as such the three lured him to the roof and killed him my name is stanley ferguson i was a guard at

alcatraz from 1933 to 1942 today i'm going to give you some insight into one of the more interesting tales from the prison's history over the decades alcatraz has seen more than its fair share of daring escape attempts however few were as audacious as the one undertaken by four inmates on new year's eve thought to be the brainchild of an inmate by the name of albert arlington the outrageous scheme was as unlikely as its mastermind it's believed that arlington aka the weasel somehow convinced three other inmates that he had devised a foolproof plan to escape the

rock it was a plan that would see them literally taking to the skies on a makeshift aircraft of arlington's own design just how the weasel managed to convince these hardened criminals that such a plan was even possible remains a mystery to this day what is known is that no such plane was ever built instead the group's plans for freedom soon descended into bitter argument and infighting with the plan falling apart anger and frustration would ultimately lead to a brutal altercation between the misguided arlington and his former co-conspirators armed only with makeshift weapons finn o'leary sal

de luca and billy hansen lured the unsuspecting arlington to the roof where they intended to exact the bloody and violent revenge and so it was here beneath the dark and stormy winter skies that the hapless arlington met his grisly end bleeding to death on the cold concrete roof this proved to be the perfect opportunity for the warden to carry out the shadow man's wishes no contraption hear me yes yes i can hear you apologies my lord i am here calm faithful warden calm i bring the land news the world that you seek is near at

hand no thank you my lord thank you i've done my best to prepare the way please where are you now tell me what i must do four souls in your possession for arriving soon with the first you will transform the island salvatore de luca finn o'leary billy hansen al arlington salvatore finn billy owl yes my lord i i know these names their sins shall be their undoing their eternal punishment through your sacrifice will ensnare another his ultimate reckoning a trap for another forgive my ignorance lord but how will i know what sir it's me stanley

we have a situation damn the situation ferguson you handle it i'm not to be disturbed i'm real sorry to interrupt your prayers sir but there's been a murder up on the roof it's al arlington arlington yes sir part of some kind of botched escape attempt de luca and his two cronies in custody looks like it was them i'll be right there i'll be right there part of the shadow man's pocket dimension plan also involved the warden killing himself as well so he too could oversee the island once this was done he was to be on

lookout for richthofen and kill him my lord i intrigued me to speak i have done as you asked the remaining three of the first fours i'll die by electric chair this evening and soon after i shall join them it will be glorious in this new realm lord i have no doubt but but i confess i am afraid this form is weak and has taken to drink but i do cling to it still please grant me the strength to grant you the strength oh you poor pathetic wretch i will grant you nothing until your death you

know this yes yes my lord of course my life is part of the disease and the disease must be purged i i rejoice that that day has come but you are a base disgusting creature that cannot help fearing for its own skin it is not your fault thank you for saying so my lord truth be told i long for the miracle that will release me that's a good lad you have been an adequate servant therefore you will continue to serve after the corruption such an honor for me not an honor a purpose your life's sentence

waiting for dr edward richtofen to walk into the trap the doctor i've heard mention of him amongst the illuminati what would you have of him his blood holds great power you will harness it all and open the way to the paradise below i swear my lord it will be done and one more thing name it my lord spare him no pain yes rick coffin shall suffer and from here sal billy and finn were executed via electric chair for their participation in the murder the three collaborators were sent to death by electric chair justice came swiftly

on the morning of january 19th 1934 the execution order was carried out the warden then followed suit the time has come the sponge is wet on my crown the cap screws tightened the switch in my hand oh i'm going to burn for the fools they want justice for the toll i've extracted from this forsaken island sir there's some men from the bureau here i stalled them as long as i could but they're on their way to your office now what do you want me to tell them justice there is no such thing there's only the

wheel of the dark one okay uh i'll just tell him you're not feeling so well then yeah do as you wish run hide beg for absolution and perhaps he will be merciful as he has been with me do not weep my dear warden my lord you're here of course more or less the threshold awaits my friend yes yes the threshold one last flash of light and the sun shall vanish into the sea and the darkness the darkness shall spread through every fiber of creation it shall spread listen i told you he ain't here he went

to see some special doc on the mainland you guys are wasting your time shall be its instrument ah come on guys cut me a break i shall bleed the chosen few better hurry the gateway will open and paradise will fall uh yeah see there what i tell you nobody's home nothing here the pocket dimension was created sal finn billy and al found themselves in an infinite time loop they were unaware of the cycle that they were in and so frequent attempts were made over and over to escape each one resulting in their death no matter

what happened the characters would always die and they would be reset to where it all began hey sal we must have been through this 50 times already and we'll go through with another 50 if that's what it takes 9 30 lights out god begins his rounds how we're doing tonight ferguson incredibly good i'm doing great mr deluca my boy tommy it's almost six now ain't that swell hey finn get that tip for saturday's race yet i'm working on it right now you're gonna shut them up although i gotta do it i know the rules handsome

no talking ah 9 35 the weasel launches into a song and dance routine damn it arlington you gotta get the dog that'll be the real deal this time once the weasel gets the keys we move on to stage two let's get moving here you go fellas courtesy of the warden's private collection boys in the laundry stash departs of course they [ __ ] did what the [ __ ] i killed him you've been in the joint too long al you forgotten how to get [ __ ] done what the [ __ ] this ain't right

something weird's going on here you don't say weasel where are those screams coming from but there was one unforeseen inconsistency with this purgatory world the environment around the characters never changed meaning once the cycle repeated a remnants of the past still remained this is relevant because al kept documenting and writing what they were doing and what was happening though they never remembered once the cycle repeated over time and through following the steps as they were written down the mobsters slowly began to make progress in their escape attempt or at least their illusion of an escape

a twist was thrown in however as the further they got to freedom they actually uncovered the truth about al's terrible makeshift plane plan and how they killed him for it but the thing is killing him after getting so far only further continues the cycle whether it be their death by zombies or killing al the cycle is always going to repeat that is unless al managed to kill the other three instead thus breaking away from history and freeing them all from the cycle as a reminder it is not important for the warden to keep their cycle

continuing they were only a means to creating this pocket dimension and so eventually al actually broke the cycle by killing the other three mobsters and thus their souls were eventually set free they were still stuck in the dimension but they were no longer cursed to run from the endless hordes of zombies for infinity al's spirit takes the form of a bird and the other simple spirits for now the cycle was broken but the trap was still set to ensnare richtofen now we can finally return back to richthofen you may have noticed that i skimmed over

him slightly during the mob of the dead segment it was important to establish that he built an underground base there but you may have also noticed that i mentioned cryopods for victus who i haven't mentioned since the end of the original timeline well now is the perfect time to explain i said how ultimus victus and zombie richthofen all survived maxis destroying the world and everyone on it i already mentioned how ultimus survived and this is how the rest did as well whilst primus richtofen and maxis were traveling through portals and dimensions exploring the new technology

richthofen began to hear faint whispers these weren't the voices of corruption but rather it was the voice of stullinger premise richthofen traveled to the original timeline and encountered ultimus richthofen who at this point is a zombie after maxis put his soul in one premise richtofen figured that he could use victus to get the chronorium they all had souls and were a capable bunch but they were also the last surviving members of a soon to be destroyed universe to oversee this he used zombie richtofen telling him that he could restore his soul to his body if

he helped and so they all got to work richthofen had maxis attempt to teleport victus to empty earth this proved to be a slight problem as the teleportation across different dimensions wasn't an exact science and troublesome to get working this led the victus being teleported to all different places initially these included small random towns but also the old broken arrow facility russman used to work at they are taken here to retrieve the half of the elemental shard that was left behind after the bios is destroyed the place basically their entire journey becomes one giant fetch

quest the elemental shard is needed to power a device which will take blood vials of each of the victus members which richthofen wants he also wants the elemental shard in and of itself and it is also required to access empty earth despite some slight infighting within the group almost resulting in them disbanding they acquired the chronorium and are teleported to meet with premise richthofen he reads the chronorium and learns all about his potential futures most importantly the fact that he dies in every single one believing this would protect him in the future from the fate

of death he just read he takes the blood vials he obtained from sal and finn and delivers them to his past self he obtains the victus blood from zombie richtofen completing their agreement and sends him back to the original timeline he returns to victis asking them if they want to live which they agree to he subsequently puts them in a cryogenic slumber a future version of richtofen accompanied by dempsey nikolai and takio then arrived to collect victus's blood vials a lot of events that just transpired here are very confusing and extremely overwhelming especially following a

chronological series of events the blood vials which are probably the most confusing at this moment will become much clearer later in the timeline when we become the future version of richtofen coming to collect the blood so i'll explain it at that point as for zombie richtofen we might as well finish his story right now after his deal with premise richthofen was completed he was teleported to the original timeline where his comatose body currently lies groom lake 1963. zombie richtofen arrives through a teleporter and confronts his body and transfers his soul back into his original state

this is cornelius purnell report 7 15 october 13 1963. i'm filing this report on behalf of private gordon private gordon was working graveyard and hangar four where our new test subjects are being kept at o 300 this morning private gordon reports a quote bright blue oval-shaped light beam materialized in the room end quote out of said light beam stepped and i quote a zombie dress in a world war ii german military uniform this zombie did not interact with private gordon but instead slowly walked up to the comatose body of dr edward richthofen who up until

now we've been unable to resuscitate private gordon then observed this zombie touching the body of dr richtofen at which point the zombie turned to ash and dr richtofen immediately let out a guttural shriek and began cackling i cannot verify private gordon's story but what i can tell you is that as of this morning dr richtofen is very much alive and he is very animated so much so we've since had to have him sedated from here the four would be held in custody at hangar four they do not understand you saw it destroyed yet it's more

time travel [ __ ] tech just hasn't happened yet speaking of bs how the hell did you get back in your body doc does it matter dempsey i'll tell you what matter americans still give nikolai his vodka anyway for now that would conclude the ultimus character's journey for the time being primus richthofen now with the chronorium in hand and all of the future past and present knowledge written out in front of him works with maxis to secure a better universe one free of zombies and apothecons alike while i haven't really been talking about him too

often now seems like an appropriate time as any to bring up the fact that the shadow man isn't actually in the dark ether anymore unknown somehow someway at some point in history he managed to escape it once again as he did long ago but now he's simply working towards opening a portal to release all of the other apothecons but as per the rule with all keepers and the sort he is still not allowed to intervene with the free will of humanity meaning despite being out and about he's not allowed to just do whatever he wants

and take whatever he wants so he had to manipulate people insert the reporter it is the only name he is known by and so the shadow man took on an alias of his own tony hale rapt and he hired the reporter to fetch him some artifacts and investigate if his other schemes were going according to plan as well singularly and most importantly in this dimension is the summoning key the very first artifact in all of existence that can manipulate the ether and the first keeper used to create agartha that summoning key is in this dimension

and the reporter is sent to find it and collect it which he does while there are no radios of him doing so and it is a fairly anticlimactic retrieval thanks to the information and coordinates given to him by the shadow man the reporter is capable of tracking down the summoning key and collecting it though it resides in a box sealed with ancient magic another artifact he was sent to collect was the vril vessel for the agarthan device this event is much trickier as the vessel was located in the original timeline which is part of a

different dimension it is never specified how the shadow man does this and perhaps it is a different dimensional version of the reporter he sent to collect this one but either way the reporter was sent to the siberian facility just before richthofen received the three test subjects here he is strict get your damn hands off me now what do we have here a spy if you know what's good for you you'd let me go oh yes yeah yeah i'm sure you've worked with someone incredibly important honestly you have no idea did you find my secret facility

who are you i'm a reporter i was hired by a man mr rat i never met him he asked me to find some goods for him things he wanted badly sounds thrilling and what was his goods he voted so badly look i don't know the specifics he just told me to travel to russia he gave me these coordinates which led me here how was i supposed to know it was a freaking german base gave some vague description of a strange metal object this i assume yeah that'll be it called it the seal of duality whatever

the hell that means well the real vessel is not for sale and is certainly not for stealing but it is curious i have only just arrived at this facility bringing the real vessel with me yet you somehow knew it would be here how is this possible how the hell am i supposed to know i just go where the shadow man says to go i don't know how he does it listen if mr rabbit wants to find you he's got his ways look you want to go ahead and get this over with if you're going to

kill me kill me not like it'll matter it's kind of funny you know something mr rap said about if i failed him and died it'd be okay he said he'd reach out to me all over the multiverse whatever that means i didn't pay no mind then but maybe some other me is out there having a lot better luck than i am sir what should we do take the strange sad little man away find a hole like i said it is unclear if this is the same reporter from dimension 63 or if the shadow man reached

out to this dimension's version of the reporter either way he was unsuccessful in collecting the vril vessel and perhaps was killed on site or carried on with his journey of following the shadow man's list amongst them was checking up on if the warden had carried out his wishes in killing the four mobsters at alcatraz he was sent to interview stanley ferguson the prison guard at the time who recapped the entire story after learning that his plan had followed through the shadow man ordered the reporter to bring what he collected to morgue city and investigate four

individuals anyway no clue why mr rap wanted me to meet this stanley first but i'm headed to the city now something about tracking down three doozies and a floozy oh yeah not to mention those artifacts in the south pacific and russia i don't know what that's about i never even met this guy likes to stay to the shadows real weirdo maybe it'll all make sense when i get there during the next six months the reporter would spend time in the city taking in the sights sounds and smells while here there was a meteor shower which

as you can expect was no ordinary meteor shower while not directly stated it was likely element 115 as all of the residents began acting strangely and mold began to grow around this city hey mr app just checking in so i'm here finally taking in the sights sounds and smells of more city i know you sent me here to write a piece about the city's bustling nightlife and theater scene and the characters that inhabit it but things are getting kind of strange even though no one seems to want to talk about it something is definitely off

about this city just last week there was a media show a freaking media shower and everybody acted like it was no big thing then the mold showed up all over the city in the dark damp alleys there's a strange kind of fungus growing it looks weird and smells even weirder but nobody really says anything then people started getting sick at first it just made them delirious confused then they really got sick it was like they were wasting away people finally started talking about it i spoke to one guy in his 80s a fruit seller at

the local market he said something similar happened in new england in 1882. when i tried to press him on it he just lowered his head and ignored me if you ask me something definitely ain't right here the mold affected the people differently and they began talking about the keepers themselves hey mr wrap so i went by the market again today for some reason a fruit seller was much more talkative even if what he said was more than a little crazy he told me that when he was a boy his uncle would get drunk and start

talking about how a dark force casted shadow over the city how good and evil were battling right on our doorstep and that the only thing holding back the forces of the apocalypse was the ancient order of the keepers well even if what he said was more than a little crazy i'm not sure he was even though they're scared or maybe because they are people are talking more asking around i've heard more than a few whispers about this ancient order and the keepers i think it's some kind of cult they say you can hear them chanting

sometimes from beneath the city there's all these rumors about human sacrifices and freaky [ __ ] that even the police won't investigate because they've been paid off or because they're too damn scared i'm not sure what to believe anymore regardless of the strange happenings around morgue city the reporter still followed through on the shadow man's job request and delivered the files on the four individuals that he researched hey mr wrapped so i tracked down all the people you asked me to look into i sent you a telegram with all their details all their contact numbers

but i gotta be honest i'm getting nervous these last six months you've had me working like a low-rent private dick when really i just want to be a reporter it's not that i'm ungrateful i know the checks you've given me but more than generous for services rendered it it's just all this stuff you've had me do tracking down ancient artifacts in the south pacific finding all these strange metals and rocks in russia and still i haven't even met you face to face i'm i'm sorry mr rap i think maybe the mood in the city is

getting to me a little it making me nervous antsy uh anyway i'm looking forward to you finally getting here the four people he was asked to look into were nero blackstone jessica rose jack vincent and floyd campbell each of them chosen as they had a secret that they wanted kept a future to advance to and they were willing to do anything to make sure that they can make it jack vincent was a police officer in morgue city and a corrupt one at that he had dealings with all sorts of criminals and mobsters alike he's familiar

with all four of the characters from mob of the dead even having a hand in busting some of them himself he arrested al arlington during a bank heist and busted sal de luca's liquor joint i once busted a little weasel who tried to use one of these to blast open a bank safe dumbass nearly blew himself up could've used this when i busted sal's liquor joint he's familiar with billy handsome's hitman reputation what is this one of billy hansen's trophies as well as finn o'leary's whiskey finn o'leary's whiskey tasted better than this [ __ ]

he was more than familiar with his fair share of mobsters but he wasn't any less crooked than any of them absolute power corrupts absolutely the hopeful and the stupid pretend that's not the case the detective isn't stupid and he's even less hopeful the years of dealing with the dregs of humanity have hardened his heart and born fruit to the seeds of corruption the detective shadow tarnishes the badge he's sworn to uphold but the true darkness is still to come he never had a change of heart the only thing that did change was the mayor the

new mayor was tired of the corruption and sought to put an end to it and jack couldn't let himself be ratted out he planned to kill any associate that could possibly snitch on him to keep his secret safe jessica rose was a burlesque dancer at the black lace nightclub but her real dream was becoming a famous hollywood star she did anything she could to make it there including sleeping with a film producer it did work and she got herself a contract however a photographer caught them taking pictures of their scandalous sexcapades word of jessica sleeping

her way into the job got out but photos didn't and that was the real damning evidence some live for the limelight the femme fatale is willing to die for it her whole life ahead of her was so much already left behind but with the stakes this high and the odds this low fame and fortune might be just one audition away the photographer blackmailed jessica threatening to end her career and she couldn't let that happen she arranged a meeting with the photographer where she intended on killing him floyd campbell was an up-and-coming boxer who rarely ever

won a fight yet he was given the opportunity to go up against the champion if he could beat the number one contender tony king through a combination of debt and being the absolute underdog of the fight yielding quite a payday if he won campbell who hasn't fought in 18 months wanted to ensure his victory as did his promoter most things can be settled in the ring bets grudges debts the boxer knows the cost of paying them all a stranger to the winner's circle but not the cold hard reality of the ropes the boxer can't stop

fighting but never seems to win he intended on using brass knuckles under his gloves the day of the fight and finally there was nero blackstone a once famous magician of morg city who has since fallen on hard times he was born into enormous wealth and grew up surrounded by lackeys and sycophants always praised his arrogance was fueled as misplaced as it was in modern day his magic career has gone downhill going so far as to be labeled the worst magician of the year by the magician's weekly magazine and on top of all of that his

wife was very demanding and liked to spend money because of this she accrued substantial amounts of debt she couldn't possibly pay back so she forged nero's signature taking out loans in his name making her problems just as much as his now but similarly he couldn't pay it off born into wealth power and the trappings of unearned privilege the magician is arrogance incarnate his appreciation for his own meager abilities knows no bounds fortified by the adoration of lackeys and sycophants ego bloated by servile fawning the magician knows it's easier to believe in magic when you're in

desperate need of a miracle it is also important to note that nero has a uniquely interesting angle in this dimension as during his failing magic career he turned to the dark arts and he began reading all sorts of different texts during this he began having dreams of the shadow man but unlike other characters who are corrupted nero shows next to no side effects only a familiarity with having seen the shadow man before it is also important to note a slight side story that's occurring in the city at this time as well dr monty has become

aware of the shadow man's goal and so sends a letter to the reporter he's been manipulating telling him not to give the summoning key to anyone for it would cause a catastrophic and cataclysmic event this freaks the reporter out because he's aware of the role he's been playing in what might happen if what monty said was true this is where premise richtofen yet again comes into play the first action he took in this dimension was the creation of the secret lab at alcatraz since then he's acquired the chronorium and learned where he could procure the

summoning key which is why he's arrived at morgue city he confronts the reporter trying to acquire the artifact but being on edge from monty's letter which told him not to give it to anyone he panics and attacks richtofen for which richtofen defends himself and stabs the reporter killing him now the summoning key is locked inside an ancient sealed box which cannot be opened by conventional means richtofen for now has to wait and bide his time meanwhile back with the other characters the shadow man took these four's predicament and decided to apply increasing pressure like an

animal being backed into a corner forced to react he disguised himself as various individuals and talked with those close to the characters he spoke to jack's longtime partner implying that he was aware of jack's crooked nature which pushed him to feel like he had to silence his former associates before they spoke please understand that you yourself are not under any suspicion at this time this is merely an informal interview yeah yeah i know can we just cut to the chase the chase excellent metaphor or is it an allegory i can never remember the difference you

want to know about my partner jack vincent you're a good detective so what do you want to know that he's a loudmouth show-off more than a little rough around the edges he's a drinker smoker how about the fact that he's got a wife that scares him more than any [ __ ] criminal out there what do you want me to tell you is jack vinson on the take listen the more i talk to you the more i'll get a reputation around the precinct can we maybe do this elsewhere he spoke to jessica's producer pretending to

be someone interested in hiring her for a big project which would likely get rescinded if her photos got out as you know i'm looking to cast the female lead in my new picture and i heard that you have quite the roster of up-and-coming talent in this town can you maybe tell me a little more about what kind of woman you're looking for i'm looking for an all-american girl a real beauty i heard you may know an aspiring actress by the name of jessica rose the burlesque dancer she ain't exactly peaches and cream more sugar and

spice i heard she's a real firecracker if you know what i mean i'd like to meet her give her a screen test leave it with me i'll get back to you he spoke to floyd's promoter implying that he was simply using the underdog status putting aside your enormous self-interests as a promoter what would you like to say to boxing fans everywhere about the upcoming fight particularly with regard to this last-minute substitution uh floyd campbell i'd like to say that floyd campbell is a credible opponent despite how the bookies may see it what about the fact

that fans would much rather see the number one contender facing off with the champion your champion as opposed to this little herd of journeyman fighter look there's no doubt that floyd campbell is the underdog nevertheless are you using campbell to keep your big moneymaker away from opponents who could be just a little too dangerous the champ doesn't avoid anyone but nothing this interview is over no further questions and he spoke to nero's lawyer quote unquote on behalf of his wife increasing pressure that he needs to pay up as you can see these documents give some

indication as to the considerable amounts of money we are talking about my client would never have signed the authorization on these loans nonetheless there it is in black and white signed by mrs herself nero's family estate is not what it once was even if these documents are genuine we'll need some time to get our affairs in order i would advise your client that our company intends to aggressively pursue settlement within one week 15 days at the most look i need to make a call my secretary i see out each of these actions pressured the characters

into committing the crimes to keep their secrets but before they followed through on their murders in a cruel twist of irony each of them were actually safe from the blackmail the only person who could really snitch on jack was his partner but he'd sworn to keep it a secret hey jackie it's me some suit from internal affairs came by today asking a whole bunch of questions i didn't say anything because i don't know anything as far as i can tell you're in the clear i trust you jackie you're my best friend you're like a brother

i just wanted you to know that i got your back always jessica's producer turned down the shadow man due to a weird vibe she was getting from him and actually had a friend who was willing to hire her to be on broadway hey hey jessica a movie director came by to talk to me today said he wanted to meet you i gotta be honest i didn't get a good feeling from him i told him where to go well not in so many words listen i'm glad you didn't sign that studio contract truth is i'm not

even much of a producer i'm more of a talent wrangler here's the thing my partner's written a musical that just got financing i know that you're gonna be perfect for the lead this time next year you're gonna be on broadway baby nero's lawyer found out that the signatures were fraudulent and he didn't have to pay anything nero i have the most wonderful news the loan documents were fraudulent well your wife was fraudulent she forged your signature on the loan agreements and we can prove it the date on the forms says november 5th last year exactly

the same time that you were in the hospital following your performance of the amphibious man you couldn't possibly assign those papers you were in a coma for the entire month as for floyd his actually comes after the event in reality the characters if they simply did nothing would have been fine some better off than where they started but each of them failed to receive these phone calls and thus they carried through on the shadow man's pressure jack killed his criminal associates jessica lured the photographer and stabbed him floyd killed tony king for the championship fight

and this is where campbell's phone call comes in saying that there will be no investigation into him cheating hey floyd you did good you kept your word delivered the knockout i just wanted to tell you not to worry about any journalists or commission investigations that is done anyways besides setting your mind at rest i wanted to give you the good news it's all set you got it floyd you got your title shot january 15th and nero killed his wife in a work accident claiming her life insurance to pay off her debts as the shadow man

did with the mobsters in alcatraz these actions allowed him to create an altered reality a different morgue city where they were cursed to survive but more importantly be used to give him the summoning key i have been watching i have seen each and every one of your misdeeds i know who you are but questions for me why do you do the things you do do you not see the futility of your tiny insignificant existence you are but fragments of a bigger universe your sins serve only as an invitation invitation to an evil beyond your imagination

i'll lead the way i will show you the path only through me the shadow man will you find your redemption in this twisted world he was able to brandish them with the mark of the beast an apothecon-like curse which gave them the ability to transform and break the seal which contain the summoning key the shadow man tricks the four posing as an ally telling them that they can atone for their sins if they follow his guidance part of that is through sacrifices if the four characters sacrifice someone close to and important to them then they

can be absolved of their past sins this leads the characters to sacrifice the only ones who are ever truly on their side to begin with nero's lawyer floyd's promoter jessica's producer and jack's partner their significance and willingness to stand by these characters likely made for a much stronger sacrifice candidate for the shadow man where they obtained gateworms these gateworms could be used to open a rift for the apothicons to finally escape the dark ether and that's exactly what happened apothecons then flooded dimension 63 after using the four characters the shadowman reveals how he was not

their ally and was simply using them to get the summoning key this does not sit well with the four characters learning of the shadow man's deception while initially fighting against the keepers the four then team up with them to stop him with the guidance of the keepers nero jack jessica and floyd actually managed to stop the shadow man and trap him inside of the summoning key they hand the key over to the keepers so they can protect it and return their dimension to safety but that's not what happens upon delivering the summoning key to the

keepers richtofen saw the perfect opportunity to claim what he came for i'm so sorry i really don't have time to explain i have a universe to set right thank you and goodbye he takes the summoning key so that he may carry on his journey leaving dimension 63 to die in a very literal sense with the apothecans free in this dimension and the summoning key not there to rid them of that world dimension 63 is destroyed from this point forward with the summoning key retrieved and the chronorium in hand richtofen can now work towards monty's plan

of creating a perfect reality monty needs richthofen and the others to help him create it and as a reward their souls would be in this new reality this information would be relayed by dr maxis who was the one interacting with richthofen monty attempted to remain more in the shadows so maxis told richthofen to collect their souls after obtaining the summoning key richtofen ventured off on his own journey to collect his soul it seems no matter the reality he's never been the vulnerable type he doesn't like to be seen in a certain way and where he

was going was exactly that his childhood dimension 2 to 10 is where a child version of richthofen resided the chronorium told him that he must go to this dimension this iteration of his soul but the undeniable fact is that there was sadness here that he wanted to face alone it's a story of dimension 2 to 10. the story of my soul i was just a boy then an innocent i was a sensitive child a lonely child orphaned at a young age i never got to know who i really was but one day i learned who

i would grow up to be i had to do it the cronorian told me i had to trick the poor little innocent me into trusting a complete stranger i took my own soul before it could ever have the chance to flourish is it any wonder and the way i am his soul would be reincarnated at the house by dr monty as eddie considering their history samantha and eddie get along as well as you'd expect as the gates to agartha opened the four heroes were rewarded with riches beyond imagination from that day forward they knew that

samantha would keep them safe forever getting everything wrong i told you before their eyes should be blue it's my turn eddie i can do whatever i want but you don't even know how to play properly girls don't know enough about zombies put the toys away children make sure the windows are locked before you come down to the basement we'd better do what your dad says i didn't even get my turn tomorrow eddie you get to make the rules i promise come on fluffy i wish the heroes and our stories were real sam i know what

you mean but we will make everything okay my dad says he has a plan the alarm that is heard is not one of danger it's one of arrival it signifies a new soul is entering the house i figured i might as well explain it while we're here richtofen then returns to nikolai takeo and tank after the events of origins and brings them along on his journey as their souls are needed as well richtofen didn't exactly disclose what he was doing it was impossible to hide the interdimensional time jumping and so the others came to believe

that he was trying to change history which was not inherently wrong they weren't on board but perhaps tagged along just to make sure that he wasn't doing anything insane but he always is what richthofen really sought to do right now was create a paradox by creating a paradox in one dimension it would spawn fractures within that dimension these fractures all stem from that dimension's paradox and veer off history in whatever way it will it's much like shattering glass the initial dimension is complete and clean but by creating a paradox it shatters it creating all sorts

of different timelines and variations richthofen was free to mess with these fractures without affecting the initial timeline's history and so he sought to do that with the original timeline it's the greatest paradox he could possibly hope to create for if not for the original timeline then no other timelines would exist premise included so with the help of dr maxis opening portals from the house in agartha richthofen and the others traveled to darice to meet his other self just moments after he teleported that universe's maxis and samantha goodbye doctor this ain't funny doc turn around slowly

do you know who i am yeah we know that's why you better do exactly what we say a great evil approaches there is a chain of events that must be set in motion the future hangs by a thread you must awaken the test subjects richtofen whatever you're thinking of doing don't do it you do not want to meet what's on the other side of the door you cannot begin to comprehend the great evil you could unleash so damn it richtofen i thought we were done with this what can i say things change only a fool

would dare to change history i am no fool but i do i do only to secure a better tomorrow yeah well let's see if we live to see it before we go any further it is important to note while this is theoretically the original timeline with the ultimus characters the actual original timeline is untampered ultimus is still currently at area 51 under research from dr schuster teleporting them from the future where they blew up the world so no matter what changes happen from here on out that timeline remains exactly the same the characters that are

going to be hunted down are ultimus in story but just different ones richtofen's actions here would be disguised he pretends to collect his soul simply as theatrics for the other three but still hides his intent on making the universe right dempsey nikolai and takio's outlook on richtofen is not good despite having assisted him during the events of origins they still believe him to be evil to various degrees dempsey has a difficult time trusting him due to his cryptic and manipulative nature takio is probably the most welcoming of richtofen picking up on his sense of purpose

though much like everyone else in the beginning he's hesitant to trust him but probably the most friction is with nikolai considering they were on diametrically opposing sides of the war he still blames him for all of the bloodshed endured during it so you gonna tell me what the [ __ ] you were doing back there dempsey my dear simple-minded american you simply wouldn't understand right after we got here after you said goodbye to your evil twin you did something strange strange dempsey you're really going to have to narrow it down i know you're sick richtofen

but why were you messing around with your own corpse that wasn't my body that was someone else entirely someone a bit like me but not he's dead hey i know what i saw i saw you stoop down and hold something against the body pictures dempsey pictures or it didn't happen there's something i was gonna ask you what was it ah dear dempsey your memory lost perhaps due to your prolonged exposure to element 115 or are you just one of the stupid dempseys german your actions defy reason but you seem driven by a sense of purpose

i do have a purpose takeo a purpose you will come to share you only have to trust me you trade on lies and deceit richtofen give me one reason why i should trust you i don't have time to explain now but i have a message for you a message from the emperor what do you know of the emperor it has been so wrong i feared he had abandoned me forgotten me you have not been forgotten takeo stay strong and your path will become illuminated i do not understand your riddles german how will my path become

illuminated the spirits of your ancestors are not the only voices you will hear takeo trust your instincts listen to them last night i had a dream they dreamt of a house a house with children yes hold on to that thought takeo in time you will come to learn the significance of your visions german i will keep asking until i get an answer what are we doing here putting things right nikolai putting things right your words are empty your soul is hollow how could you ever hope to put things right nikolai i realize that i'm often

hostile towards you it's simply because your ideology is diametrically opposed to mine we are allies only because of our situation we will not fight shoulder to shoulder forever richtofen though we may not see eye to eye nikolai know this i possess an artifact that will help us on our journey you can never wash away the blood on your hands richtofen you are an evil that must be stopped i'm helping you more than you realize nikolai after all didn't i just kill myself a little while ago i know what i'm doing the beacon will allow maxis

to find us who is this [ __ ] maxis i've never seen him apart from that brain in a jar we found in france everyone else's dynamic is unique in their own ways can i trust you nikolai because last time i checked we were enemies when did you last check we were allies in all three world wars richtofen seems to think he has some kind of plan i'm not so sure about that i think he's [ __ ] delusional then richtofen speaks of putting things right do you think he has found a way to end

this nightmare after france i'm starting to believe that anything is possible maybe there is a way to end all of this to return to our homes our old lives our families our families how many wives is it you've had nikolai i gotta be honest i lost count as a russian i know how to endure how to survive there i hope for something more than that you can dare but i don't know if it'll do any good in my experiences wishes hardly ever come true hey tack we got to keep an eye on richtofen i don't

know what he's up to but i don't like it i share your concerns dempsey we would be wise to remain cautious did you notice him doing something weird when we first got here weird describes much of what richtofen does right after he popped himself when we were holding back the horde ripped off a knelt down over the body why perhaps he was paying respects to his foreign self we gotta piece it all together tack why the [ __ ] did he come here again we know not where richtofen has traveled but i believe his experiences

have changed him wherever he's been whatever he's been through i'm not sure richthofen's any less crazy than before mysteries will reveal themselves in time they always do this is the nature of our quest besides our thirst for battle you and i have little in common nikolai you're mistaken takeo i have no thirst for battle i fight because i have to you have a great disdain for the german why does your hatred run so deep do i really need to explain that i mean really have you forgotten richtofen's thirst for chaos he is a monster an

animal he is a troubled soul i can see it in his eyes but a monster i think not we know not of the journey richtofen has taken he may hold more wisdom than you realize i fear and the wisdom he holds will only be used to advance his own agendas we will only survive if we all work together nikolai you know this in your heart richtofen was the one who left us in the dark tokyo we have no idea what he has been doing with his original self dead and the fractured timelines created richthofen was

ready to proceed from here he tells the others that they must secure dempsey's body a retrieval is all everyone agrees as it seems simple and honest enough now considering richthofen's death this obviously forced the timeline ahead of it to shift as well in this deceptio fracture as it is known dr groff takes control of group 935 following richthofen's death at this time he is still working on the mpd on the moon and fears samantha for whatever reason he intends on sending dempsey's body to the moon likely for research and this is where premise comes in

they steal one of the giants group 935 was responsible for creating and use it to pursue the transportation of dempsey's body it inevitably leads them to der eisendrache this wasn't how it was supposed to go we're supposed to secure the package and be in and out clean instead the whole thing's been one disaster after another today you die first i took your legs i should never have trusted you richtofen never by the time of their arrival dempsey's body was already set on a course to the moon and launched though their perspectives have not changed much

the characters slowly begin placing their trust in richthofen a little more though they're still on edge not exactly going to plan is it richtofen or are you gonna tell me this is how you planned it that everything's fine yes the answer is yes dempsey everything is fine i know you have questions but you have to trust me dempsey i have seen things you wouldn't believe things you couldn't even imagine yeah well with your imagination i don't think i'd want to see all the [ __ ] you have time has a way of asserting its will

dempsey that is why we must take steps to intervene in my possession is the most powerful artifact in this or any universe a vessel that will allow us to literally save our eternal souls don't go getting all spiritual on me richtofen we're here to get me out that's it ask yourself dempsey what do you want to achieve what is it you really want i want to complete my mission end this chaos once and for all our travels across the world they used to make me nauseous now they make me thirsty is that how you are

feeling nikolai i have a thirst a thirst unlike any i have felt in years be careful nikolai i have seen alcohol lead many men down the road to ruin do not try to confuse me german i know why we are here to secure the american test subject is your contempt for me finally diminishing my simple-minded russian friend i am beginning to think you're not the richtofen i once knew you are stronger than you realize nikolai if only your judgment were not so clouded you would be invincible what is it you hope to find on our

travels nikolai what is it your big russian heart wants most of all i know not why an animal such as you would be curious richtofen but i will tell you i hope one day to return to the motherland to return to my family you told me that you spoke to the emperor you told me you had a message sadly takeo now is not the right time for me to explain when will you speak of the emperor's message if not now soon my friend for now i must focus on dempsey he has no idea of what

he will soon have to face why do you confide in me german i regard you with the same contempt as the others to be honest i think it's your irrational commitment to being honorable that makes me trust you takeo i see the chaos in your eyes german but yet i see a stillness in your soul despite what lays ahead takeo i am not afraid i know what will happen that knowledge brings me peace search deep inside yourself takeo tell me what you want what your heart desires what i want what my heart desires i wish

only to prove my honor in the eyes of the emperor hey nikolai if [ __ ] goes down with the crowd you got my back don't you i do not understand this american slang but it better not be what i think it is i hope to never see the day when we turn on one another richthofen says he's been here before was that crazy evil richtofen or this new man with a plan ripped off and i am not sure which richtofen is most dangerous and nikolai a word this artifact of richtofen's has he shown it

to you call me crazy but i'm starting to think richthofen may actually know how we get out of all this crazy you may be but richtofen's knowledge cannot be denied whether or not he can be trusted is a different matter richtofen has told us little of his comrade dr maxis i do not like to put my trust in a man i have not met and know what you mean especially seeing as how richtofen put his damn brain in a jar you okay tech you and richthofen seem to be getting pretty friendly these days you're paranoid

dempsey you forget the symptoms of exposure to element one one five element one one five don't you remember what it does to you attack it makes you forget things richtofen claims knowledge of worlds beyond this realm do you believe this is possible i can't deny that he knows a lot of stuff but i don't think it's all good richthofen told me he had spoken with the emperor that he had a message for me i wouldn't hold your breath richtofen seems to like keeping secrets it is unwise to speak lightly of demons dempsey your disrespect will

have consequences you know i'm kind of looking forward to coming face to face with myself after all i'm one handsome devil dakio what is the german told you of his plans i know no more than you nikrai he speaks in riddles teasing a promise i fear he cannot fulfill your bravery is welcome takeo but your blind loyalty to the emperor confuses me do you care only for the individual i seek to restore peace and order to our existence such a goal could never be considered selfish i have long considered you a barbarian and a brute

is there more to you than that nikolai none of you know what i have lived through what i have endured i believe this journey will teach us much about ourselves and each other i am not sure how much more there is to know about richtofen though i fear his words may belie his true intentions do you know this dr maxis of whom richtofen speaks so fondly i feel we have encountered him before but i know not when how or why the journey to collect dempsey's body is made difficult by dr groff he is adamant in

continuing group 935's research even when he comes into contact with premise richthofen not even richthofen himself can get him to cooperate as he comes to believe that he may be a spy groff works as hard as he can to get dempsey to the moon and secure him as a test subject even willing to go so far as to blow up the entire der eisendrache facility to do so but his efforts fail premise redirects the missiles towards the moon blowing it griffin station and dr groff up dempsey's transportation is shot down and richthofen is forced to

reveal how he's been deceiving them as he needs their souls to secure a better future he's still alive i [ __ ] hope so this subject will one day wreak havoc across the entire universe he cannot be allowed to leave this wasn't how it was supposed to go we were supposed to secure the package and be in and out clean instead the whole thing's been one disaster after another i should never have trusted you richtofen never you should trust me dempsey you all should this artifact has the power to contain and preserve the subject's soul

your soul but it can only be done after the moment of death just as you saw me do to my other self it is the only way wait if someone's got to take him out to save the universe then it should be me that does it good to see you tank so the characters accept richthofen's goal of trying to save the universe and needing their souls to do it what initially started out as a journey founded upon deception turned into a cumulative effort to save the universe from here maxis teleports the characters to an entirely

new fractured dimension known as the pre-tone fracture in this dimension we follow the origins of ultimus tokyo and the major events from the original timeline division 9 is formed after discovering element 115 at shino numa but this timeline shifts as that facility winds up getting overrun by zombies division 9 then make a new facility on an island at the map zetsubou no shima on this island they've experimented on pretty much everything the plants the animals mainly spiders and some scientists like the original timeline tokyo is sent to the facility to oversee its experiments where he

reports the work being done here is unacceptable for which the emperor orders takio to hand himself over to be tested on for their plant-based experiments and he was forced to endure whatever was done to him when the characters arrive in this fracture it's not quite where they wanted to be they teleport on a division 9 ship where they are taken prisoner take it easy tech the object in your hand it's gonna bring you nothing but pain leave me i know i am an annoy of the emperor himself i am no president oh that was close

yes a little too close we must go now so after washing up on the shore of the island they begin their search for tokyo hey richtofen why don't you tell your pal maxis to drop us off exactly where we need to be next time we are dealing with the complexities of the interdimensional time travel across a fracturing universe it's not exactly easy keep a close watch on takeo we need him alive before we we uh before we need him dead yeah i know the drill been there done that i hope your recent trauma hasn't affected

you too negatively dempsey after all it was all for the best trauma call it what it was richthofen he had us track down another me just so we could kill him off i've told you before dempsey it is essential that we remove all fragments of our other selves yeah yeah yeah their continued existence could still lead to the destruction of the earth and the collapse of the universe do you trust me yet dempsey after everything that's happened and the way you seem to be the one in charge of bouncing us around i don't see how

i've got a lot of choice so here we are again out to extinguish another flame that you say stands between us and peace when the time comes to kale will do what needs to be done he always does the others seem to believe in your madness richtofen i have yet to see proof that you're not leading us down a dark path make no mistake nikolai the path ahead is very dark i have never pretended otherwise you have spoken of how element 115 corrupts our minds our memories it is an inevitable side effect of our travels

i'm surprised you're not used to it by now if 115 really does corrupt our thoughts what does that say about you richtofen you have been exposed more than any of us it is a burden that i am willing no destined to bear do you trust me yet nikolai we have followed you this far but where we are going i'm not sure i will deal with future when it comes when you talk of a mission you refer only to the test subject are you afraid to say his name believe me takeo it is far better to

let go of personal attachments they will bring you only heartache i fear denying dempsey the chance to better understand himself may have consequences even had he been conscious before his death i do not believe that dempsey had any great knowledge to impart you promised that you would deliver a message from the emperor richtofen i can wait no longer i will keep my promise you will have the emperor's message before the sun rises on this island how will my path differ from that of the american will i too have to confront my own mortality we will

cross that bridge when we come to it takeo even i am not sure exactly how events will play out do you trust me yet takeo you have promised me answers i have to believe you will stay true to your word are you beginning to see the method in richtofen's madness you who were once his sworn enemy the germans the least scary thing around here besides we're all in this together we need each other you seem more reflective these days perhaps you are not the head strong dempsey you once were i think you're reading too much

into things tack i'm just tired after that swim so you sure you're up to the task ahead tech we are not certain what lies ahead my path may be different from yours i'm just saying tak if you have to do what i had to do you may not find it easy your concern is as appreciated as it is unexpected dempsey aside from your ramblings in the heat of battle you seem to be more at peace dempsey what can i tell you seeing how you check out is a hell of a way to get perspective so

nikolai i hear you say something a while ago about going back to your family i think you're mistaken perhaps confused so about your wives how many did you have or were you just claiming victories you never had i do not wish to discuss this matter any further we have mission you appear closer to richthofen than i have seen before do you really consider him an ally look he knows a whole lot more about this craziness than the rest of us i think he really does have a plan i am still unsure of the german's motives

for all his talk of making things right there is still madness in his eyes maybe that madness is what we need right now tell me nikolai do you think you could do it kill your other self if it meant it would put things right i would never give up without fight this i know deep in my heart you and the german were once sworn enemies nicorai are you beginning to see his goals as though they are your own ours is an alliance of convenience tokyo i still despise the german with every fiber of my being

you must have a strong reason to ally the german i sense a longing in your soul a longing for something beyond your reach i may have dreams takeo but i know they are not reality my life is only war it is all i know do not question me any further takio my thoughts and my past are mine and mine alone i have little interest in your secrets nikolai unless they are the kind that put our alliance at risk i will fight until there are no more battles to be won and when that day comes what

kind of man will you be nicarague when all this madness ends i will still be the man i always was a loyal servant of mother russia richtofen may have confidence in his friends but none of us can truly know the nature of our own destiny nicaragua premise's travels inevitably lead them to the underground prison where tokyo resided your eyes i recognized them almost as though they were my own i did not believe i would find you in such a place i was a warrior i fought many great battles for the glory of our nation for

the honor of the dying samurai spirit i was a hero i share this memory i have lived many of the same victories i later learned that my victories were unwelcome his betrayal was driven by petty jealousy he knew i could endure anything but i fear not even my own death punishment is one thing this is cruelty who could be so evil as to desire another soul to endure such suffering who amongst us can be so dishonorable are you so blinded by your own loyalty the orders came from the emperor himself this room may have been

corrupted and consumed by evil but we possess the power to change things the tomorrow is only possible if we blow away the ashes of the past none of us choose the means by which mercy will find us but i am at peace i understand what must be done will you be my it is my honor so three down one to as richtofen said there was somewhere they needed to go first before collecting nikolai's soul and that was true richthofen is not someone who doesn't think things through and this plan that maxis and dr monty were

having him running around doing had some unanswered questions richthofen knew that he was collecting their souls so they could live on in a universe free from all the calamity they were forced to endure but what didn't have an answer was what happened to them after this universe is created if all universes where the apothicons existed get wiped from existence what happens to the people within those universes well richthofen figured that likely they would die and disappear alongside them this was only further perpetuated by the cronorium itself which detailed how no matter the universe richtofen died

in all of them and as you could have figured he didn't want to die he needed what he referred to as an insurance policy an ace up his sleeve that no one especially dr monty knew about a way to cheat fate and death itself richthofen's plan was to use blood vials blood obtained from individuals from dimensions that were no longer going to exist after everything was said and done this was the purpose of the secret alcatraz base he had built however long ago the blood of sal and finn were going to protect richtofen he was

given this blood even before the events of origins from a future version of himself which is why he has the blood vials the entire time we've been with him meanwhile the blood of victus was going to protect the others collecting their blood was also part of his plan by being in possession of their blood it would create a paradox and preserve their lives this is where the characters arrive at alcatraz to meet the other version of richthofen who just obtained the chronorium delivered the blood to his past self and obtained victus's blood vials to hand

them over to the other characters if you've played the games this is not where blood of the dead comes in in this timeline premise arrive obtain the blood and simply leave to obtain nikolai's soul it's a very clean entrance and exit with the blood vials secretly obtained maxis teleports the characters to the agonia fracture in this dimension division 9 had successfully resurrected dragons for the war the only way for the russians to fight back against this was by stealing group 935's research for their giants and they created their very own models in this fracture the

battle of stalingrad never ended and world war ii continued indefinitely element 115 was also accidentally released on the battlefield making a three-way war between dragons mechs and zombies in this timeline is also a version of sophia maxis's assistant who was infected and subsequently had her brain transferred into a machine it seems no matter the universe this is always sophia's fate she was put in charge of the facility in this location and was responsible for much of its going ons research attempts at taming dragons development into other soldiers and weapons sophia is in charge here after

being teleported to this new dimension per the difficulty in maxis controlling where they come out they wind up falling through the sky fortunately for everyone when the portal was opened it also opened under a dead skydiving peter mccain from the pre-tone fracture just before he died as he did in shinonuma while i would usually play the cutscene this one quite frankly has copyrighted music so sorry upon landing the characters discussed their adventures so far the mystery of richtofen's blood vial adventure and everything they've had to go through so far and what they will have to

do in the future so richtofen are we gonna talk about the blood you can if you want so i don't imagine it will be a particularly riveting conversation you took us on a little whistle-stop tour of some other locations said we all needed the blood vials i was right this subject is very boring can we talk about something else okay maybe you start telling me about your end game specifically what you plan to do with all our souls rattling around in the summoning key it's a house we have to get to the house we'll be

there soon you mentioned the house as if we have the faintest idea what you're talking about it's a house didn't i tell you it's there will be safe forever and ever tell me something and give me a straight answer or i swear i'm gonna punch you in the gumballs whose idea was this plan of yours i you know i i really don't know i'm getting confused again are you ready to face your own demons nikolai are you prepared for what lies ahead what lies ahead say what you mean german you are referring to the fate

of my eternal soul your soul is not in danger nikolai the summoning key will contain it keep it safe for what purpose i have yet to hear you explain what you plan to do when you have our souls the madness around you will not last forever nikolai i have told you before everything i do has purpose i aim to make things better for all of us i have long since given up trying to make sense of your riddles richtofen war is all i will ever truly understand you have not explained the purpose behind our last

journey uh you know what i am referring to i'm going to have to ask you to trust me nikolai the less we speak of the blood the better it's supposed to be a secret trust me nikolai the plan will succeed do not worry your ugly little russian head any further doctor's orders you are an impossible creature richtofen i have a terrible feeling that even you do not know why you do the things you do you have spoken many truths that have come to pass richtofen it is clear to me that we are bound by destiny

so will you tell me what our future holds uh no such knowledge is a burden that only i can bear i fear the instability around us reflects the instability within nicaragua's mind i am wary of what this day may bring nikolai is stronger than you realize takeo you do not know what he has endured in the past i do what happens if our mission is incomplete what happens if we fail to recover the other nichorei failure is a thing of the past takeo i've experienced it time and time again but no more we will complete

our mission long ago you told me i would hear voices and that i should trust them yeah takeo you will hear voices even ones that will not always speak to me what purpose for the blood vials the ones we retrieved after our journey to the island worry not their true purpose will become clear assuming it comes to that which i hope it won't how's it feel to be back on your old stomping ground nikolai bring back memories this is not something i remember the russia i knew was not plagued by giant dragons dragons robots and

flesh bags aside you should at least know your way around the area right why do you assume i know my way around just because i am russian draw me map of [ __ ] chicago stay cool nikolai we won't be here any longer than we need to be we just need to deal with you you do not need to explain pattern dempsey richtofen was first uber second tachyo is third i am not as stupid as you look look on the bright side nikolai we get through this we get the better future ripped off and keeps

promising us promises can be broken dempsey i fear we are more likely to join richtofen on his descent into insanity why are you so sad nikolai i mean even when i hear you yelling in the heat of battle i can't help feeling there's something wrong so many things are hung dempsey it is part of the reason i yell and curse it takes mind off wrongs hey tech i know you went through a rough time saying goodbye to yourself not to mention the old betrayal i confess recent events have left me shaken but i will follow

the road ahead of me the road ahead is long and dark do you remember who said that i believe richtofen is guided by insights unseen to us i believe he is indeed on a path of redemption i'm not sure if richtofen can ever be redeemed tack he's got a lot of blood on his hands even if his own redemption is impossible he still seems eager to make amends still don't know exactly what he's up to though especially that business with the blood vials i believe there is bigger picture that we are not yet able to

see you know the saiyan tack time will tell indeed time will unveil those mysteries it has shrouded for so long i would not dare to presume but i think i understand some of what you must fear nicorai i look around me and see my country consumed by madness i myself am uncertain as to what i must feel at least we have a sense of purpose something that has all too often eluded us we are all being led on a dark path toward an unknown destination listen to the voices around us [ __ ] i believe

they have much wisdom to impart i have heard many voices but i have heard little wisdom richtofen's goals are still unknown we are bound together only by convenience personal contempt aside i think it is unwise to underestimate the he has knowledge of realms beyond our understanding i believe that richtofen will betray us again mark my words it is his nature respect for it in the cry i disagree the characters are forced to use sophia and her assistants if they want to get to nikolai one of the most unexpected steps they must do is extract information

from gersh yes that gersh unlike all of the other characters who exist in fractures and are simply a duplicate in some way shape or form gersh is the same one from the original timeline after ultima's freedom from his entrapment his soul was launched through space time and dimensions where he wandered as an entity he effectively lost his mind rambling about the universe and space and time he even recognizes the characters but doesn't realize that they're not the ultimus group that actually saved him sophia extracted information from him via interrogation while she said it was not

going to hurt him this was a lie and gersh was killed by sophia in the end sophia gets what she wants freedom and only the desire to find her lost love maxis she ascends in the universe in an attempt to find him meanwhile primus confront nikolai but as his premise self predicted he doesn't go down without a fight but they inevitably take down his mech and confront him you think you will kill me now i am sorry nikolai i wish i wish there was another way but know this in my heart i share the same

pain as you the pain that you have buried and blurred beneath an alcohol-fueled haze yes the pain of your own memory you loved and you lost everything else has been delusional fantasy that distance you from painful truth you know what i speak of you remember before the bombs fell before she was taken from us some things are forgotten for a reason it is done the souls have been collected maxis we will see you soon with the souls retrieved it was finally time to go to agartha give dr monty the summoning key and with it get

their happy ending create a universe free from apothecons zombies and their souls can live in peace the only detail unaccounted for is that no one aside from the shadows of evil crew knew that the shadow man was trapped inside the summoning key okay uh let's recap a bit shall we this was meant to be a new start really a perfect world free from all the evil that had corrupted each and every corner of the known and unknown universe it was going to be a place of safety for the kids the little yous you little well

so far so good but things started to go wrong soon after you arrived now i can understand your initial shock coming face to face with maxis especially after so long but you did the right thing you followed the plan you brought the summoning key here and you destroyed that bloody machine once and for all thing is max's went and bulged everything up please you must help me he heard voices you see calling to him only together can we prevent the destruction of your world it wasn't really his fault you know he hasn't actually got his

soul yet all i got was a brain anyway the key thing as in the thing that is key is that max is fiddled around with the summoning signature and accidentally released an even bigger bastard someone even i didn't know was in there the shadow mary a one and only original harbinger of doom so i'm going to be absolutely truthful with you things have got way too far out of control this isn't any vague evil we're talking about the apothecans the most powerful and evil entities in all the existences that ever existed and now they're here

in our perfect world i'm not going to sugarcoat things it's a [ __ ] [ __ ] show as monty said the only reason the shadow man was able to escape was because maxis didn't have a soul only a vessel and a brain and thus he could be corrupted by the dark aether's influence the apothicons were now free in agartha causing destruction and dimensions colliding and yet again it was on the characters to fix it so richtofen with all this mayhem unfolding around us have you formulated a new plan yes dempsey my plan is to

live through this day if we can do that then we still have a chance those kids in the house they're actually us created from our souls in the summoning key yeah dempseys the children are us but they are free of the confusion and delusion that has shaped our existence so this dr monty what do you actually know about him was he another group 935 scientist or something oh no he may call himself a doctor but monty is so much more than that how do i know this isn't what you wanted all along richtofen i mean

throwing the whole universe into perpetual chaos seems like exactly the kind of thing you do you are wrong dempsey just as dr monty explains this is not the future we had sought to secure something has gone terribly terribly wrong so answer me honestly just how much of this chaos is your fault did our little trip to alcatraz have anything to do with it be quiet dempsey i told you that's our little secret i know you're not particularly fond of me nikolai but i promise you i'm really trying hard you should try harder the children in

the house they are us are we to believe that they are vessels for our eternal soul yeah nikolai that is exactly what they are vessels for our eternal souls what of these bodies that we currently inhabit what becomes of us when the battle is over you will see nikolai and one day you will thank me your plan forced me to relive painful memories i would rather would left in the past i am not sure i should thank you for that you misunderstand me nikolai i'm referring to the future not the past i fear that our

future will soon be upon us our journey's end is rapidly approaching let us just agree to disagree nikolai i have every intention of living a long and eventful life we have traveled far richtofen but what do you know of our true destination we have to focus on restoring order to this universe takeo which means doing the kind of things we usually do questions remain unanswered richtofen what of the children the monte doctor seem to imply that they are us they are what we could be had we lived in a world unsullied by the evils that

have punctuated each and every moment of our existence if the children are us then what of us the bodies we now inhabit what becomes of them when order is restored that question has been on my mind for a long time takeo i believe the answers not ones that would bring you any comfort are you returning to your old precipitous ways richtofen do you have another agenda that we are unaware of i promise you takeo i will make this right without the help of dr monty have faith takeo others and all the times i betrayed tortured

or tried to kill you have i ever let you down you have kept your word as you had promised i was shown the truth behind my own misguided path you still seem real mad at richthofen you having second thoughts nikolai second thoughts my opinion of the german has barely wavered but i believe we are serving a higher purpose so do you think this dr monty is the real deal i see no other explanation dempsey but as for how closely his goals are aligned to richtofen's is something that remains to be seen i know and you

put up a bigger fight than the rest of us you think your gut feeling about richthofen was right all along each of us have made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of richtofen's plan we have hunted down and extinguished our other selves we'll fight side by side back to back even if it's for the last time nikolai though i fear the end approaches i believe richtofen holds cards he has yet to play so tack you notice anything off when we bag nikolai's soul and stalingrad many things were off on our last mission dempsey but i

believe i know what perplexes you the big beam of light that came out of the summoning [ __ ] it shot right up into the sky and i saw figures in it you me nikolai but no richtofen an intriguing realization an unlikely revelation if our memory of stalingrad is correct why do you think we saw only three figures i'll tell you what i think i think our pal ricked off an ain't got a soul not sure if he ever did if our souls are truly within the children then what is left of us exactly i'm

starting to see a flaw in this plan specifically that we don't seem to feature perhaps when the battle is over our spirits will join in unity ascending to another plane of existence i ain't sure i like the sound of that what if i don't want to be a [ __ ] kid what if i just want to be me you know that this journey has changed us all nikolai i cannot dispute that the fact that i allowed myself to do what i did proves that would you welcome a fresh start for your soul the chance

to live a new life far from this realm of violence and fear however much i would wish it to be otherwise i know that my past is gone forever i do not believe the survival of our eternal souls is the real driving force behind richtofen's agenda he is a selfish creature i think you are mistaken i believe this richtofen has sacrificed more than we may ever know what do you believe in nikolai i believe in a higher power i believe this dr monty may well offer us our best hope for the future whatever it may

be tell me takio what do you believe in my beliefs have changed greatly but i will tell you one thing i know for sure nikolai even though we are bound by destiny in our hearts we are a team while here and before confronting the shadow man richtofen instructs the others to drink their blood vials by doing so their blood was mixed making them in a sense other people but most importantly people from destroyed universes sal and finn hail from dimension 63 which was destroyed by the apothicons at the end of shadows of evil victus are

from the original timeline which was destroyed by maxis at the end of buried and all of them were in a purgatory the premise characters is blood mixed with theirs becoming them and thus protecting them creating a paradox despite the shadow man's best attempts at trying to convince the characters that monty is evil as well and does not have their best interests at heart premise still carry through with stopping him the shadow man is defeated and thanks to the assistance of sophia who had since found maxis and arrived during the character's current ventures that the two

save the universe maxis still residing inside of the summoning key absorbs the souls of the children and together the two lock away the apothicons and all evil from the universe we will do it together as one we are now and forever uh with the evil vanquished i can stop making it all nice again no undead no apothecans no shadow man all of it gone forever but it here's the funny thing you snowflake shouldn't even still be here you should be fading out of existence by now those blood vials i was wondering when you'd bring this

up they're from realities we've already closed off they shouldn't be here they can't be here such a paradox means you're putting my perfect world at risk you guys and your bloody free will what to do what to do well you certainly can't stay here you could send us somewhere else somewhere we've never been hmm i suppose i could make a little corner somewhere in history a place where i can dump some of the other [ __ ] that i've left over or i just wipe you from existence oh hang on actually that all works out

perfectly what monty did here was fix a paradox the concept of a paradox itself threatens his very existence and he might die due to one despite being alive for who knows how long he still values his own life and doesn't want to disappear so he fixed this paradox richtofen had created by placing them inside of a cycle he sent them to the great war when the humans fought off the apothicons premise are those four heroes that saved everyone from the beginning of the timeline it was always them but for them it was where their cycle

ended they saved humanity protected it and would simply go on to die they are but human after all they do provide some entertaining developments that affect the future for example one of the warriors who fought with them during the war was the wolf king as his name would imply he had tamed various wolves to fight alongside him in battle he looked at premise as the bravest warriors he'd ever seen they were the ones who told him to build his castle which would be the location of der eisendrache but this was premise's fate they save the

universe die and their younger selves meet again at the beginning of origins where their whole journey repeats itself it was an endless cycle always destined to repeat exactly how it does now despite richtofen reading the chronorium and attempting to avoid this fate it was exactly that drive which led to this outcome it is also the reason richtofen wanted to save the souls of dempsey nikolai and tokyo following a singular pathing of the timeline the four while they do grow closer it's still only ever so slightly by the end of revelations where their journey ends nikolai

never comes to trust richthofen dempsey believes he may know what he's doing and takeo believes in his heart the most but richtofen his understanding of the timeline isn't quite so linear he has the chronorium he's traveled between dimensions he's experienced so much with the others life death and rebirth so when he saw versions of the other three die it got to him it actually upset him that is the reason he tries to bring them along on his journey in the first place why he includes them in collecting their souls he wants them to live on

because of everything they've gone through even if they don't know it the journey doesn't require all of their souls but richtofen wanted all of their souls to be safe but as was heard via the conversations during their travels richthofen often says how the others are losing their memories thanks to 115 delusions of dimension hopping for which he was asked about himself but his response was that it was just a burden he must bear in reality they were right richthofen suffered the most element 115 delusions traveling so much he would forget so much of the information

he learnt the result was him just feeling so tired at the end of each cycle he tries so hard to save them only to fail premise's cycle repeats who knows how many times tens hundreds millions infinitely they may have gone through the cycle with absolutely zero changes happening that was until one little rat came along and changed everything or sorry should i say one weasel changed everything during one of the infinite cycles premise finds themselves in during one of them the chronorium changes the chronorium doesn't change or isn't supposed to change is more accurate history

plays out one way across all realities but something in this reality broke the cycle and the person who did that was albert the weasel arlington the mobsters were stuck in their own cycle endlessly destined to repeat their escape attempts at alcatraz but al managed to break free from that cycle and doing so had ripple effects across all dimensions richthofen never expected it the chronorium only pertains to the person reading it and richthofen wasn't the one who broke the cycle so how does this change things well as for premise the cycle is broken after collecting takio's

soul in the cycle the characters obtain tokyo soul arrive at alcatraz to obtain victus's blood vials immediately leave and make their way to russia to get nikolai's soul but in that cycle they arrive at the secret laboratory on time according to schedule but in the broken cycle they arrive late teleporting to the wrong area with the bad news that the cronorium has changed i was stumbling around in total darkness part of plan you give us the fire we'll give them hell do not speak so lightly of hell easy tech i didn't mean the real thing

gentlemen we are here where have you taken us we should be closer to the lab no matter it's this way if you please you're late doctor doctor is there a problem two for each of them survival depends on it you'll remember so much to do a vessel for maxis the opening of the gateways are you sure you're not getting confused you'll be needing this the chronology but i've already read it read it again what is the meaning of this the pictures have changed our blood mind let me guess you're not gonna let us in on

what that was about or explain why you have people in freezer we are leaving now what have i done uh okay change of plan we should be looking for the other nikolai but apparently i have messed it up when i say i i mean him me what now german surely you do not seek to torture me further i know all too well what lies ahead enough riddles richtofen have i not already given you enough my blade my honor my soul everybody just pull your [ __ ] together or i'm gonna start freaking out too so

let me see if i understand ricked off and copied entire plan from special book special book change its mind and now advance what our blood of course we all heard the doctor fate now demands our abroad as well i have never seen richtofen this way the threat is real man you guys are killing me with this doom and gloom stuff if that book changed once it can change again so let's buck up and get to work already gentlemen please calm yourselves you must forgive me i i forget how frustrating i can be sometimes never mind

the coronorium or this silly blood business i have something entirely new in mind richtofen knew exactly who that monster in cell block was i could see it in his stupid wide open face yeah that big guy with a club was he a prison guard or something that thing was no ordinary guard i believe he was an agent of a much darker force the warden i have known him to take many forms each one used to torture the souls of both the damned and the doomed he's not very nice still with me doc looking a little

pale paler than usual anyway yes of course it's nothing the climate of this dimension is stifling it's probably all the fire owns the brimstone so this warden guy any idea why he'd want to trap us here what do mad men ever want that was rhetorical but just for the record we are not trapped dempsey simply confined to one place against our will but it's not permanent pinky promise dempsey did you hear that a voice just now no voices whispering in the shadows kind of hard to hear anything over the shriek's explosions in gunfire but if

i start hearing voices you'll be the first to know richtofen i know your plan's probably way over my head and i know i'll forget half of it later but you gotta give me something there is no plan dempsey is that what you wish to hear we were supposed to pop in get the blood and leave but things have changed now we must improvise and adapt you are a marine surely you can manage that i see your accusing glances nikolai is there something you wish to say to me why bother that is what you always say

eh all will be forgotten anyway ah it was stroke of genius to build secret lab in hell dimension because that could never end badly we will end it one way or another and rest assured nikolai i would not deprive you of the chance to kill your other self so this warden he needs your special blood huh maybe three of us make side deal and just give it to him the moment you traveled through space on time your blood became special as well no my dear nikolai any attempt to bargain with a warden would not go

well for you richtofen i cannot stay silent you do not have plan for once in your life admit it and tell us what we are facing annihilation as always if i believed for an instant that you could comprehend so much as a phrase in the cornerium i would hand it over but no that is mine burden to bear my way nikolai is the only way stop looking so damned morose takeo this place was not created to be your own personal hell was it not faith wielded into creation and faith has delivered us here as we

attempt once again to disrupt a natural order the scales will be balanced the spirits of this island awaken in your presence richtofen it seems as though they desire something from you doesn't everyone the voices of the damned and the doomed can get in line behind you three the warden the keepers on the numerous other richtofens now placing demands on my time richtofen i must ask do you still reflect upon your other self the one you destroyed or did it end the moment you pulled the trigger that richtofen was evil takeo what he had just done

to maxis to samantha to reality he needed to die for the good of all and that was all i could use a little optimism from you to ko i truly could i've gotten us out of worse places than this have i not you have and you may yet but i do not fear death edward i fear what winning may cost hey nick do you catch what richthofen was saying when he read that cruller chronic evil book thing chronorium he said that pages changed on him judging from face it was not good change so now we

fight for lives this is what we get for trusting german something must be done dempsey richtofen is leading us deeper into this help yet you and i we could take command and hey if you got a portal stashed in your pocket by all means open it up meantime following that lunatic is our one and only play so nick i've been thinking we came all this way to get this blood as some kind of insurance policy yeah back in the lab richtofen said something about our blood i heard this as well the blood holds some sort

of power power that this warden seeks to take from us perhaps we can use it against him we have been comrades for a long time have we not dempsey if something happened to richtofen comrades can depend on each other there look i think i know what you're getting at nick but you need to stow it ricky tick turn it on your own teammate that's bad [ __ ] karma looks like there's enough of that going on around here listen tech i know where you're at doing what you had to do what we had to do

it [ __ ] you up it was my honor to end the suffering of my other self the anguish i feel is his the responsibility for my sins is mine you are a true warrior dempsey you focus your pain into action and press ever onward it is both an honor and a terrible curse i love you too tack but could you not poke me in the emotions right now i'm trying to break out of hell dempsey does richtofen appear to be acting strangely to you the deeper we delve into this realm the more i sense

the weight on his soul now that you mention it he does seem a bit squirrelier than usual but if all the [ __ ] up [ __ ] in this place doesn't get to you and you're probably as twisted as that nut job warden i understand your anger with richtofen nikolai but you must not allow this resentment to destroy you we have come here to serve our inevitable purpose this is not fake turkey or this is richtofen playing games with reality and our lives i had hoped you would be wise enough to see this tokyo

comrade you can feel as well as i that richthofen's plan is but an errand of fools how can you be so calm acceptance is not weakness nikolai only by accepting what is can one decide how one wishes to proceed moment by precious moment do the spirits of this prison disturb you nikolai you should know that they too have suffered at the hands of this warden i have seen men broken by gulag and death was mercy for them in this place takio without death to release them i fear what men can become i confess takio i

fear this might be end for us every step of richtofen's plan brings us closer to doom not salvation if we fail and warden gets blood i think that it is not failure in this realm that you fear nicorai it is your success in the next i do not bring you should we clean the life of your other self you will not bear the burden around what the chronorium had detailed was richtofen needing to use his blood to escape alcatraz if they ever wanted to get out his blood was the most charged through all of his

dimension hopping and thus it was powerful enough to break their purgatory prison of course the shadow man wanted his blood so he can open a portal to the dark ether but brutus was in charge of making sure that followed through being a special entity within the world his death was never permanent and all this leads to richtofen recognizing his fate the chronorium detailed it and he knew it was the only way of escaping the island like the mobsters before them they were stuck here destined to die over and over again until the shadow man got

what he wanted and so for the first time richtofen was forced to admit defeat it was the only way to escape this hellish purgatory he offered himself up to the dark mechanism to siphon his blood while the others attempted to fight back brutus but this is also where we need to address other changes that happened with the cycle breaking with a broken cycle it enacted change not just in the current moment in time but also the future which is also the past the great war to be exact what i'm referring to is that at the

end of the cycle premise are sent to fight in the great war and it is unknown whatever becomes of them but in the broken cycle richtofen actually lives during the course of the war he invented a teleporter to travel through time and that's exactly what he does he is given the elemental gem from the staff of fire which was used to destroy the likes of evil and apothecons and travels to alcatraz at the exact moment richthofen sacrifices his blood this new richtofen also referred to as post-revelations richthofen uses the elemental gem to wipe out brutus

the day is won but at the cost of a sacrifice listen to how the spirits sing they are of you this room need that swell does that mean we win i would be greatly relieved if that were saw that will not be necessary nikolai the future has changed read it learn of your true calling you must keep your soul it will be needed to defeat dr monty who hello hello i am still here what have i done the cycle is broken as such insurance policies are no longer needed i wish i could tell you i

was sorry edward but i'm not no no you can't help me you're a doctor wait don't you know who i am i have been witness to miracles on calamities dimensions more don't collapse and walk a path no other can take no i want to be me someone who denies the hard work i wanted to keep going this is me you won't even remember primus richthofen dies and a new path is to be forged under new leadership nikolai is placed in charge as he is the only one left with their soul still intact it is never

addressed what having a soul does or makes nikolai the man necessary for the job in some ways many believe it functions as a sort of conscience he is able to do the right thing or the necessary thing even if it comes at his own detriment richtofen was never able to do that he always wanted to live he was always attempting to cheat death and trick fate he lost his soul when he was a child and thus could never admit defeat the chronorium as it does told nikolai everything he needed to know most importantly they are

the problem richtofen takio dempsey and nikolai are always fighting the undead their journey never ceases but that's because they are the ones who caused it and continue to perpetuate it if they never existed neither would the apothicons so nikolai knew what he had to do it wasn't just premise that were part of the problem it was also ultimus the original characters who helped bind their souls together in the first place so primus traveled to groom lake 1963 not too long after zombie richthofen finished his deal with primus richtofen and returned his soul into his is

that your body nikolai give up and drink yourself to oblivion or do you want to make a difference for once in your life you oh you four must come with us in time it will make sense now now we must go quickly there is a war to be fought war what kind of war a war unlike any you have ever seen the great nikolai hides the truth from the others about what he's planning part of his plan is similar to monty's nikolai intends on creating a universe free of all corruption so he too needs the

necessary devices he already has the summoning key now what he needs is the agarthan device so everyone travels to camp edward to retrieve the elemental shard which purnell had locked inside the apd with him all in all their trip is successful however considering the cycle is now broken dr monty has taken note he noticed everyone has veered off course as they were supposed to be collecting nikolai's soul but now it's become ever apparent that they're trying to build the agarthin device dr maxis relays this information to them that they've been found out and teleports samantha

and eddie to safety recognizing the danger dr monty poses before monty kills him happy nikolai everything playing out as a cronorium predicted we have what we came for the elemental shard hurray for us it's too late maxis he knows what you're doing who knows who does he speak of dr monty what's happening nikolai you are too late ah [ __ ] that's all we [ __ ] need hello samantha who is the boy that would be us we're going to fight the vor eddie the great war then we're going back to the house to kill

him and burn it all to the ground afghan the ether the infinite everything from here there were only really two things that needed to be done get the agarthin device and fix everything nikolai decided it wasn't them who were going to collect it as he wanted everyone to spend time with each other in good company sitting around a campfire enjoying drinks and telling stories to get the agarthin device nikolai had used victus they were released from their cryopods and yet again used as just a collection team for the others i've known some of you for

a long time the others well kind of feels that way too it's not always been plain sailing but it looks like we finally pulled it off so to answer nikolai's question about what i really want i just want my happy ending yeah me too brother okay calm down by happy ending i mean finally being able to hang up my guns and maybe do something that won't end up getting me maimed or killed look i know what you're thinking what the hell else can dempsey do besides be knee-deep in combat well i've thought about that we

may have won our war but that doesn't mean there won't still be a need for soldiers i reckon i might serve my country best by helping train up the next generation of recruits you know pass on my expert knowledge excellent idea making the next generation even dumber is the american race zip it doc before i do it for you with my boots anyway while we're on the subject of boots let me just raise a glass to one of the finest men to ever set foot in a pair peter mccain semper fi brother semper fi sympathy

hippie puree sorry how dempsey when i count to three i want you to throw the grip into the air what did you into the fire the choice is yours one really really two whoa do you know why i picked you dempsey i knew you would go on hey where'd you get [ __ ] great you want to know about pain i know about pain levels that none of you pozos can even imagine i got shot in the face does that count i'm talking about the kind of pain you have to live with oh thousand-three to

ten so back in boot camp the squad house had these cheap broke-ass bunks mcrd probably bought him secondhand from alcatraz or some other hell hole anyways the mattress was about as thick as your freaking finger and it sat right on top of an old ass metal frame of half rusted bed springs my what horrors you have suffered i have experienced more pain stubbing my toe hold your horses tack i ain't got to the pain bit yet so i wake up early one morning swing my legs onto the ice cold floor and try to remember what

the biggest problem of the day is gonna be i don't know it yet but my biggest problem is the fact that the crappy mattress is no longer covering the springs near the side of the bed the d.i stomps in and yells lights nice lights we all snap to our feet now i don't know how much you all know about physics but when your body waits on a bed those springs are all stretched out when that weight is removed they snap shut like a bear trap it took me a minute to process what had happened but

that my friends is why you always always wear shorts even more important when you get older oh amen so we got these boy scouts to run around frantically trying to construct some a garthan device i get it but what is it what does it do the agarthin device can do many things it has the power to open and close new worlds new worlds and we open enough new worlds isn't that why we're in this mess in the first place as i said it has the power to do many things for us i intend to use

it to bring us the peace that has eluded us for so long cheers to that but we'll see who deems i need a refit i feel very much more drunk than usual what is in this stuff potatoes no potato vodka is very good so nikolai was out drinking with friends i knew it was late and life would be mad but we were having a good time after few more drinks i vomited on uniform oh i knew i was in big trouble my friend says no nikolai and tucks five rubles in my pocket just televised the

drunken stranger made mess and even gave money to pay for cleaning his brilliant idea huh yeah so i stay out more drinks more fun yeah then finally i get home wife is very very mad i tell her about drunk man who made sick and how he gave me five rubles to pay for cleaning wife says but there is 10 rubles here ah yes i say he also crapped in my pants do not get it maybe you would like to hear takio's stand-up routine um no so richtofen what exactly is the deal with sam weren't you

mortal enemies oh yeah very immortal that more trendy but a lot has changed maybe since we both got a little taste of the mpd it's helped us see a little more the iri i know she's got every right to be mad but with her dad being killed and all but how can we be sure she won't turn on us you know there was a time on the place where maxis was very much a father to me too what you're serious i only ever knew him as a bitter rival the cronorium shows only samantha's path to

redemption when war is over she will be normal child again innocent same as boy that's nice to know it's been a long time since i've been in us do not remind me but i'll tell you one thing a long time ago samantha told me something very important she promised she would keep us safe forever and that she would make everything okay she said her dad had a plan nichola if what you have told us is true that we stand on the brink of victory and i would like to make a toast to peace we have

traveled further than i ever dreamed possible we have faced challenges that no mortal should ever have to face though our alliance was brought to the brink of collapse many times we have prevailed even in the face of unimaginable evil we fought with courage and honor but now perhaps the fighting is truly at an end in my blood tack i'm a marine and that ain't something you just turn off do not be so sure think of dempsey a warrior's path should always lead toward peace well i'm with you on that attack to peace to peace i

can honestly say i never imagined being in this position i didn't look at us old body body i'm not going to apologize for all the terrible things i have done because frankly i'm not five or anything yeah i've had the time of my life oh i know you probably never really trust me and even now you'll be expecting me to put some last-minute rabbit out of my hat a big rabbit of betrayal yeah no kid thank you deb i knew i could rely on you ah so do you have a rabbit on betrayal if i'm

honest i've been expecting one since we all got together sadly no i am all out of ravage you have spoken many times of a war nicholas a great war yeah a war unlike any we have ever seen oh are you going to tell them everything the apothecons the keepers the shadow the dark ether monty shadow man the apothewats what's he talking about nikolai they are legends contained in the book the conorium tales of demons and angels commanded by the forces of light and darkness that does not sound like any war we have ever faced demons

and angels light and darkness the big star who was who which was wish do you know that nikolai monty and shadow man were more similar than you know richtofen both were corrupted by the dark ether one by his own ambition the other desperately trying to save his friend do you remember when i asked you what you really want we remember but why do you ask this now because the great war no the greatest war is the one we fight against ourselves okay everybody this is love song i want you all to join in i've got

to be honest with you i'm not sure if i want to join in i'll sing for my supper i'll drink to another i'll tell all you folks a tall tale a tall tale well it's all based on fact though i should say the act of telling it's taller each day literally thought nothing was finer than lazing around every day but my aunt jemima lost it all in a fire including give us something about the emperor or honor honor is one thing but i'm feeling nothing but lack of opportunity not so eager to let them still

watch over me nicely done what about your coffee yeah do you have any soul no no one sings unless they want to sing we're all telling tales and we're all singing songs drinking our drinks from midnight till dawn i was trying to say something there sorry richtofen we're not messing with you we want to hear your dulcet tones ain't that right yes really really this isn't the song that i wanted to sing but nobody i was the nicest one but you won't even remember me and if you start to doubt you should know that without

einstein ouch on a slight side story this is how pablo gets back to the great war to help the premise heroes he similarly was always there and is the reason richthofen can teleport to alcatraz at blood of the dead as he protects him and gives him the gem regardless victus succeeds and sends the device to nikolai but you see these final few events i've been detailing out of chronological order because there's a sad fate best left for the end there was two things nikolai had left to do get the agarthan device and fix everything the

reason he had everyone gather around to tell those two stories was twofold because they were his friends and he wanted to share that special moment together at peace away from all the chaos they've been running from forever but it was also where he poisoned everyone's drinks to kill them they were the problem with the universe this is what the chronorium had told him it was why he still had his soul because only he could make this decision no matter how hard it was ultimus richthofen died but was reborn as zombie richtofen yet again and it

was then that he reawoked victus to commence them on their journey what are you serious no way dude that's awesome uh stew oh my someone's been busy your enjoyment pal asked if we wanted to live this don't feel like living calm down everybody everything's fine or going to be fine okay my friends old and new we stand on the brink of victory element 115 group 935 the hell kick scourge the mpd the apothecarts all of it will soon be gone but tonight tonight we celebrate we got a whole bunch of maggot feeders headed downstairs and

we ain't got no weapons yes i'm telling them now but they're oh a tasty bit grumpy because they just woke up hey stew you want to be a bit more specific about what the voice in your head is actually saying dr mindy what is he like a bad guy we gotta go with this power and the means to control it we can go wherever we choose at last we can return to our homes our old lives our families i've got to be honest with you samuel i don't have even the slightest inkling as to what

an agarthing device is he didn't say you had to know what it was martin just how to build it trust me guys it won't be that complicated in fact my german pal says it's going to be a duke it's one thing trusting used to do it's a whole other thing trusting your imaginary brain buddy russman how can you even say that he's the sweetest guy in the whole universe he wants us to help save it the universe thank you sammy i moved the madness is nearly over child but one thing remains the one who perpetuates

this madness he must be i wish i did not have to ask this of you but only you can do it but once it was all done richtofen was shot and nikolai used the agarthin device to destroy the summoning key and open a gateway to a new dimension he had samantha shoot him finally putting a close to everything that's been going on and with it everything else was banished to the dark ether and samantha and eddie set forth towards a new beginning i want each of you to think about what you really want where would

you like to go now believe me you can have it hello uh richthofen there's something done wrong we get everything you ask you haven't forgotten about us have ya no sammy i haven't forgotten about you it is time richtofen the multiverse must come to an end the paradox must be resolved at least it will be quick what are you talking about we found the agave device i know and i'm so sorry me too richtofen we fought for what we wanted we got more than we deserved all the chapters of our lives good and bad even

if there was no witness even if no one came to see it still happened somewhere we fought the great war over and over but victory could never be ours we were always doomed to fail monty told us the truth our journey is the very reason this madness exists we are the ones who fractured the universe this is the truth the cronorium showed me the truth richtofen could no longer face when we are gone so too is everything that spewed forth from the ether element 115 the apothecarts even monty himself all of it will be banished

to where it belongs the dark ether we should not be here our time has passed but for all the pain and torment we have endured together as we leave this life behind it is my hope that you know one thing beyond any doubt look away eddie you are more than just my allies my brothers in arms you were my friends i would like to return to my home my beloved before the bombs fell if only to die by her side i see myself at peace serene sitting beneath its hairy brotham tree listening to the joy

of my children at prey you know the more i think about it the more i think i'd be a darn good d.i get those kids toughened up i would like to be in favorite bar but as long as i am vodka i am happy man i would like to know for sure that i brought honor to my ancestors and the emperor i should probably try to relax pick up a hobby maybe i could open my own let me think about it wherever i go you know i'll be kicking ass and thus the journey of the

aether storyline comes to a close samantha would return in cold war in a new story arc all grown up but that is a different story for a different time the likes of ultimus and premise had captured the hearts of players from all around the globe many have tried to emulate the charm and charisma these four had with very little success their comedy has provided endless amounts of laughs and their journey has broken the hearts of just as many fans it is a story and franchise which i will always hold close to my heart but for

now that does it for the complete unabridged timeline of call of duty zombies
