Vienna may look like a postcard, but beneath its baroque beauty lies a battlefield of ghosts. It’s not a city of armies—it’s a city of operatives, dead drops, and shifting loyalties. Here, NATO has no official presence, and yet everyone is watching.

Jimmy, Klara, and Graves track Becker to a luxury hotel near the Danube, only to find the room already cooling. Becker’s trail is warm, but not warm enough—and before they can crack the briefcase he left behind, another threat emerges: KGB. Not observers. Not allies. Killers.

As bullets tear through the windows, the team is forced into a desperate rooftop escape while Powell races to extract them from Vienna’s spiderweb of back alleys. When they finally regroup, bruised and bloodied, they discover what Becker was really carrying: a NATO transmission log repeating a single phrase—“Phase III activated.”

Atlas isn’t slipping away anymore.

Atlas is no longer hiding.

📡 What do you think Phase III is? Is it sabotage, destabilization… or something worse?
