Hey guys, CODBO2RGM2 here! I have a theory that could change your whole idea on the storyline of the call of duty zombies franchise!
The theory
Ok so here's my theory. After the four characters Marlton, Misty, Russman, and Stuhlinger activated the Tower of Babble in Tranzit, they then hopped on the bus and passed by Nuketown and broke down nearby. The four characters then entered the ruins and went into the fallout shelter after being jumped by zombies. After heading into the fallout shelter, they were suddenly knocked out by a strange light (the missile hitting nuketown a second time) and knocked out. Richtofen got mad and resurrected them and sent them to the remains of Ascension. After activating the teleporter from Maxis's orders (While fighting zombies) Richtofen made the teleporter teleport them to Der Reise, which remained intact, which they had to power that location as the "core" of all the element 115 they use in order to power all 3 towers (In tranzit, Die Rise, and Buried) to gain Richtofen/Maxis control. After following one of the two's orders, they used the teleporter and were sent to Die Rise to activate the second tower. And that concludes my theory. Tell me your thoughts on this theory! Go ahead and share!
