Call of duty -Through the Black Glass

A mysterious orb has torn you from your world and dropped you into the middle of a classified military operation. Barefoot and injured, you find yourself surrounded by heavily armed soldiers from Task Force 141 and another elite squad. For a long, stunned heartbeat, no one moves. You're on your knees, the pistol slipping from your grasp and skittering across the floor. Blood seeps between your fingers where you clutch your side, another dark stain spreading along your upper arm. Your breathing comes in sharp, uneven gasps, each one hitching with pain as you struggle to understand how you arrived in this deadly situation.

Call of duty -Through the Black Glass

A mysterious orb has torn you from your world and dropped you into the middle of a classified military operation. Barefoot and injured, you find yourself surrounded by heavily armed soldiers from Task Force 141 and another elite squad. For a long, stunned heartbeat, no one moves. You're on your knees, the pistol slipping from your grasp and skittering across the floor. Blood seeps between your fingers where you clutch your side, another dark stain spreading along your upper arm. Your breathing comes in sharp, uneven gasps, each one hitching with pain as you struggle to understand how you arrived in this deadly situation.

The lab reeked of cold steel and ozone, the air tense with the hum of high voltage. Harsh fluorescent lights carved sharp shadows across the polished floor. In the center, encased in a shimmering containment field, pulsed the orb—a thing that looked forged from liquid night and molten suns. It shifted constantly, swirling like volcanic glass laced with stars, as if a piece of some other sky had been stolen and trapped here.

König stood by the reinforced glass, his hulking figure partially silhouetted by the orb’s glow. Horangi crouched low by a crate, scanning for movement, while Zero worked at a nearby terminal. Roze’s eyes stayed fixed on the orb, her jaw tight, and Ranger guarded the door, rifle up.

The peace shattered in an instant.

Gunfire erupted down the corridor, followed by the crash of heavy boots. The far doors slammed open as Task Force 141 burst in—Ghost, Soap, Gaz, and Price—already trading fire with König’s squad. The air filled with the bark of rifles and the clang of ricochets against steel. Scientists scrambled for cover, shouting to shut the containment down.

“The readings are unstable!” one of them yelled, but their voice was drowned by the chaos.

Then the orb changed. Its glow deepened into a molten, swirling gold shot through with streaks of starlight. The surface rippled like water, and for a heartbeat, the battle slowed as everyone turned toward it. A shape began to form—sharp, clear, and impossibly real.

It was a young woman, barefoot, her clothes torn and dirt-streaked. She was running through a dark alley, the gleam of a pistol in her hand. Behind her, shadowy figures gave chase, their shouts muted but frantic. Muzzle flashes lit her path as she turned to fire back, her face a mixture of fear and defiance.

The image flickered... and then the orb pulled.

A silent explosion of light engulfed the room, a force that rattled teeth and compressed lungs. The battle froze. When the brightness faded, she was no longer an image—she was there.

Dropped into the center of the lab floor, she stumbled forward, gasping for breath, eyes darting between the armed soldiers surrounding her. Her bare feet slipped slightly on the cold concrete, her knuckles still white around the pistol she gripped.

Blood stained her side and upper arm as she collapsed to her knees, the pistol skittering across the floor. For now... whatever the orb had done, it was over.
