Chernobyl containment zone. CCZ
You must be asking what is the Chernobyl containment zone? Well it's a containment zone for the other worldly invaders, bioweapons created by said invaders, and the containment of anomalies beyond today's understanding. Chernobyl has been the site of the portal experiment. A western spy sabotaged said experiment but brought an unintended side effect. It brought the invaders straight to us. Our only defenses are the occult. The combined forces of the Russian occult service Or ROS, the c.i.a department of anomalies, the British occult warfare services or BOW's, the Ukrainian black army, and the German Jaeger battalion. Today we stand together against the invaders. We will stand against this threat with the help of an unlikely ally called the caretaker's. Their names are mimir, and the other one is classified but he is the GRU's head overseer of the department of temporal anomalies. Both of them have helped us defend our world from these extra dimensional threats. We are task force Valkyrie. We will hold until they sign a armistice. We will not falter against our adversaries. We will stand victorious! May our sacrifices aren't in vein.
