Operation Tritium
After the last conflict, everything went quiet. For years there were no signals, communications, or financial trails connected to Mr. Bommanoff or General El Suwasi and his infamous family. To the world, it seemed as if they had simply vanished.For international intelligence agencies, the silence was deeply unsettling. For nearly a decade before their disappearance, their names echoed through the shadows of global conflicts. They were linked to clandestine operations, black market deals, and the trade of chemical weapons. Men like this rarely disappear without leaving a trace.
Since that conflict, intelligence agencies around the world have searched for them without success. This relentless focus created a blind spot for other developments in remote regions.
During that time, several world-renowned geologists mysteriously disappeared from different countries. They seemed to vanish overnight. Their families reported them missing, but because the cases appeared unrelated, they received little attention. Without the watchful eye of the intelligence community, no one connected the dots.
While monitoring former conflict zones for traces of Bommanoff and El Suwasi, analysts noticed something unusual in northeastern France. Near the town of Metz lies an old military complex destroyed in a devastating attack in 2022. Since then, the area has remained abandoned and restricted to the public.
A few weeks ago, however, satellites detected a brief heat signature. At first it was dismissed as a sensor malfunction. Soon more irregularities appeared: unidentified vehicles moving along forest roads at night and short bursts of encrypted radio signals appearing and disappearing within seconds. Individually these events seemed insignificant, but together they formed a troubling pattern.
At the same time, rumours began circulating that valuable minerals had been discovered beneath and around the ruins of the complex near Metz. There had long been whispers about rare resources and potentially dangerous materials, but never any proof.
One of the people who heard these rumours was Lena Verhoeven, an investigative reporter for OBD.tv. Fascinated by the disappearance of Bommanoff and El Suwasi, she travelled to Metz to investigate. She interviewed locals and examined historical records, searching for evidence that the rumours might be true.
In her final update, Lena reported she was attempting to intercept radio signals and gain access to the restricted area. After that message, she was never seen again.
Local police later found only her camera. The recovered footage captured a brief radio transmission:
“We found something. It’s unbelievable. This changes everything.”
Moments later the camera began shaking violently as blinding lights swept through the forest. Armed figures rushed toward her, shouting orders in multiple languages. The camera fell to the ground, showing boots running past and the faint sound of heavy machinery. Then the footage cuts to black.
Within hours the Orbital Recon Command (ORC) redirected their satellites toward the region. New scans revealed extensive activity around the destroyed complex. Multiple heat signatures were moving in and out of the area, and further analysis suggested a large underground operation beneath the ruins.
Now the questions remain.
Who is operating near Metz?
Could this have anything to do with the disappearance of the geologists?
What exactly have they discovered beneath and around the old military complex?
Could this be a simple mining operation—or something far more dangerous?
And most importantly… what happened to Lena Verhoeven?
