Vbush



vbush is the user account name of Dr. Vannevar Bush on servers accessible from the Central Intelligence Agency Data Access system in the interrogation room depicted in the main menu of Call of Duty:Black Ops.

A former Nazi scientist and engineer recruited by the U.S. in Operation Paperclip after WWII. His use in Black Ops most likely is used because of his help in the United States space program during the Cold War, helped to get the first man on the moon and was also involved in MJ-12. Majestic-12seems to be the main reason for his involvement in the storyline.

HANDLER’S NOTES”

We successfully inserted CWZGUTCT into Group 935 as a research assistant based out of Munich. Current location is unknown, but his last transmission suggested he had been transferred from the Der Riese facility to a top secret location known only as Verruckt. Most recent communique indicated that the 935 experiments are barely under control.

Attempts to secure all visible Group 935 research of Element 115 technology have been unsuccessful.

We fear that CWZGUTCT identity has been compromised. Sending in a Marine Recon unit to extract CWZGUTCT from the asylum before it is too late. Operation leader will be one HVZJZGUZGTTYKPJERTTQTX.

The asylum must be contained at all costs.
