Imagine a secret society like the Bene Gesserit but in the COD universe (in reality there are secret societies so it would be realistic that that would exist in COD too).

They are in the shadows. With superhuman powers and planning and scheming. Most people don't know about them not even many of the higher ups.

But the Bene Gesserit plans mess up and there's a rebellion in their ranks.

The rebels let the world know...

The Task Force 141 and Shadow Company get involved.
