“ | Ulrich Vogel, director of Projekt Endstation. 12th of March, 1944. Five days have passed since the accident, and I am starting to see it not as a setback, but a breakthrough. Literally. The cyclotron continues to operate, apparently without an external power source. We cannot deactivate it, and it is still manifesting the strange phenomenon I call a rift and Kurtz calls a Wormhole. We attached instruments to the end of a long metal pole and passed it through the rift. The readings confirm that somehow the cyclotron ripped through the fabric of spacetime. Something lies on the other side. A parallel world or perhaps a whole universe. But we dare not approach to closely, Lest we suffer the same fate as the man currently held in our medical clinic. | „ |
~ Ulrich Vogel about Projekt Endstation and the Cyclotron. |
Projekt Endstation, also known as Project Terminus, are the overarching antagonists of the Zombies mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, appearing in the Die Maschine, Outbreak and Mauer Der Toten maps. They were a secret Nazi research program led by Dr. Ulrich Vogel in World War II. They also make a brief appearance on the Der Anfang and Shi No Numa maps in Call of Duty Vanguard's Zombies mode.
Biography[]
World War II[]
In 1943, under the authorization of Doctor Kurt Diebner, Projekt Endstation was established at a remote site in Morasko, Poland. The project, helmed by Doctor Ulrich Vogel, was intended to oversee the creation snd production of atomic armaments for the war with the use of an experimental cyclotron particle accelerator. On March 7th, 1944, during the twelfth test run of the Cyclotron, the device would malfunction and breach the Dimensional Membrane to the Dark Aether, leading to an infestation of necrotized soldiers, as well as several artifacts bonded to various Elder Gods originating from the Dark Aether activating. Five days later, Vogel reports that the Cyclotron was now powering itself, and that through the use of observational instruments, the team of Projekt Endstation discovered the existence of The Dark Aether parallel to their own universe. With this sudden breakthrough, Projekt Endstation began redirecting it focus from atomic research to harnessing the power of The Dark Aether, more specifically Exo-Element 1 known as Aetherium. With the Reich's defeat drawing ever closer, Ulrich Vogel proposed Operation Baldr, a plan that would send a Nazi Army through The Dark Meter to return to an Endstation Lab in Berlin sometime in the future. Operation Baldr took place in January 27th, With Endstation's personnel evacuating the area and Vogel overseeing the arrival of Task Force Baldr into the other dimension. One week after the facility's abandonment on Feburary 3rd, The site was discovered by The Soviets, who stumbled upon the undead inhabiting the facility and the still active Cyclotron. Determined to stop the breach, NVKD Colonel Pavel Lazarev sealed a man by the name of Kazimir Zykov inside the facility in a desperate attempt to deactivate the cyclotron. Zykov was successful, despite his disappearance, and the dimensional tear to The Dark Aether was closed for the time being.
Cold War[]
In 1983, Omega Group, seeking to harness The Dark Aether's power for themselves, came to find the abandoned Projekt Endstation's site, seeking to reactivate the cyclotron simply for the repercussions. Under Omega Group's orders Lieutenant Orlov and Officer Medvedev, despite their eventual demises, successfully reactivated the Cyclotron, and as a result, caused smaller dimensional tears to open across the world. To combat this new threat, a CIA-backed organization called Requiem was established by the Deputy Director of the DS&A to combat the undead hordes and discover the source of the Dimensional Breaches. Their Investigations, in addition to information provided by Samantha Maxis, led to the discovery of the Projekt Endstation facility, and on November 13th, 1983, Requiem Special Forces were dispatched to the facility in an effort to contain the breach. During their time at the facility, The Requiem Strike Team was able to partially resurrect Orlov with the use of Doctor Vogel's Der Wechsler machine, who then assisted the team in dismantling the cyclotron. With the site critical as a result of the Cyclotron's overload, Requiem was forced to evacuate, leaving the site to be destroyed by the Cyclotron's destruction. Later, Vogel's Daughter, Angelika, who had infiltrated the Omega Group, opened a portal to The Dark Aether beneath the hidden Endstation in Berlin, causing an Outbreak in an East Berlin checkpoint with the necrotized Task Force Baldr. She would be defeated by the Requiem Strike Team captured by Omega, and the Portal Closed.
