''The Bombings''
It was as peaceful as ever in Eurtec, Damon had missed that, the problems of the world lie far away from the city. That was his home, a true testament of what the world could achieve if it had a shared purpose. UNGOC Sergeant Damon Stoff was heading down an elevator in one of the higher levels of the city, he had just left his home and was on his way to meet some friends of his. His time in Canada had taught him much and he loved his job, he did miss his friends though and this 1 week leave gave him the time to catch up. While Damon was lost in thought, an explosion rocked the levels above him, followed by a second and third explosion. Alarms were raised and Damon decided to go back up to see what was going on. The GOC comms lines were full of chatter, ''3 buildings hit, 2 PHYSICS and one PTOLEMY, we are under attack!''. He called in and asked where he could help, he was directed to the closest building and was ordered to evacuate the plaza which the building overlooked, since there were fears of structural collapse. After successfully doing so he was called to GOC HQ by Colonel Kalchiv. ''This is one of the biggest intelligence failures in GOC history!'' He said while he slammed a piece of paper on the table. It was a manifesto by a group called ''Al-Taqiyah''. Al-Taqiyah is an anomalous terrorist organisation based in the Middle East with a presence in Afghanistan and a small one in North Africa, they were hostile to the GOC for their presence in the Islamic World and their destruction of anomalies, at least thats what Damon remembers from his lessons at the ICSUT. Colonel Kalchiv calmed down and instructed everybody to sit down while he briefed them on Al-Taqiyah, the room was full of PHYSICS operatives, Damon began wondering why he was ordered up here, as he is PSYCHE. His question would soon be answered when Colonel Kalchiv looked directly at him and said: ''Sergeant Stoff, you will be leading the hunt for Al-Taqiyah terrorists, the French National Gendastrerie will be helping us as they already have a source. You will be heading out to Morocco tommorrow, your leave will be compensated at another time, do you understand?'' Damon nodded and with that began preperations.
The GOC blackbird lands in Marrakesh, Morocco. Sergeant Stoff steps out with a team of PHYSICS operatives where they meet French intelligence officer Ibrahim Alouzadi, Ibrahim tells Damon that a source within Al-Taqiyah has told him that Al-Taqiyah are working out of a base in Northern Morocco to attack European targets across the continent. Sergeant Damon Stoff organizes the Strike team and travels to a town deep in the Northern Atlas mountains where they survey the area and identify multiple terrorists. With permission from regional command, the strike team goes in and terminate every single terrorist but one who they take back to Marrakesh for interrogation, he tells them that the attack on Eurtec was ordered from Beirut, Lebanon. They also learn that the attack was financed by the Office for the Reclamation of Islamic Artifacts and that they were trained by Chaos Insurgents. Sergeant Stoff had made a report of this and sent it back to GOC HQ at Eurtec, a certain General Zhou found out that the Al-Taqiyah attack was ordered from an Al-Taqiyah base in Beirut, Zhou was always one to attack immediately and she especially wanted to punish the terrorists for their attack on Eurtec. When Colonel Kalchiv found out about General Zhou's fleet heading to the coast of Lebanon. He ordered Sergeant Stoff and his men to immediately get to Beirut to find out as much as they can before General Zhou's fleet arrived as they were gonna destroy everything related to Al-Taqiyah within Beirut under a fake ''UN Coalition against terrorism''.
The team landed in Beirut a day later, the team were given Mk IV Infiltration Uniforms to be used to infiltrate the Al-Taqiyah camp and gain information relating to how they got into Eurtec and how to prevent them from doing so again. They entered the camp, taking out the guard towers and penetrating the command center. The entire room was cleared as Sergeant Stoff began to extract data regarding to the attack, what he found was schocking, it appeared another GOI called SAPPHIRE had helped Al-Taqiyah gain access. This was one of the most unexpected alliances ever, SAPPHIRE was a radical extremist atheist group dedicated to destroying all religions and Al-Taqiyah was a radical extremist islamic group. It appeared that a deal had been made between SAPPHIRE and Al-Taqiyah and the Office For the Reclamation of Islamic Artifacts, Al-Taqiyah would blow up multiple key GOC targets and assassinate multiple GOC operatives of high importance. Ofcourse Al-Taqiyah were a terrorist organisation and not some elite strike force and so they failed. All they did was make sure the GOCs wrath was unleashed upon them. As he made this revelation, an explosion could be heard outside the camp. It was General Zhou, her fleet were bombing the nearby camps belonging to Al-Taqiyah, as that occured, they got the order to exfil as General Zhou had given the order to airstrike the entire area. The sound of the A-10 turrets could be heard in the background as the team ex-filtrated. And just as they did, a B2 bomber delivered a payload which would destroy the entire camp. As they drove through Beirut, they could see fighting in the streets between GOC operatives and Al-Taqiyah terrorists. This attack by the GOC had basically decapitated Al-Taqiyah leadership in the Levant and hundreds of terrorists fled into Iraq and Iran, under the impression that the ORIA could protect them from GOC justice.
When Sergeant Stoffs team returned to Eurtec, General Zhou was still in the Middle East rounding up the Al-Taqiyah terrorists. He had made a detailed report to the colonel Kalchiv who was deeply impressed. He was given the order to rest and take his one week break, another team would go after SAPPHIRE. As the days went by, Damon Stoff would finish up his hangouts with his childhood friends, as he was needed back in Pinewood for the next mission.
