Inside a NATO communications bunker, the team discovers the chilling truth—Berlin is the final domino. As Phase III unfolds, Atlas has manipulated both NATO and the Soviets into preparing for war, each convinced the other is about to strike. With the city on edge and military forces redeploying under false pretenses, Klara realizes the plan isn’t to stop the Cold War, but to let it collapse—violently or symbolically. If the Wall falls by force or fear, Atlas wins. Jimmy and the team now face a race against time to reach Berlin before a single spark ignites global chaos.

As Jimmy and the team cross into the Netherlands under false identities, they race toward Brunssum—the nerve center of NATO’s encrypted communications. Their mission: break into the underground data hub before Atlas initiates the final phase of its operation. But what they uncover inside changes everything. A young officer with shaking hands delivers a warning and a classified report that confirms their worst fears: Phase III is live, and Berlin is the target. With NATO compromised at the highest levels, the team must decide whether to run or stop the collapse of the Western alliance from within.

The team infiltrates NATO's SHAPE command center in a last-ditch effort to uncover the truth about Phase III. With the help of a compromised insider, they learn the horrifying truth: Atlas isn't just inside NATO — it may be NATO. A high-ranking general is revealed to be at the center of the conspiracy, and a purge is already underway. With time running out, Jimmy, Klara, and the team realize their only shot at stopping Phase III lies beneath a heavily guarded U.S. base in the Netherlands. What started as espionage has become all-out survival.
