Atlantis
Atlantis
During the final days of WWII the Devil’s Brigade, a joint US Canadian special forces team, "liberated" a number of German scientists. Their debriefing led to the discovery of the "Portal Actuator" a device they claimed was discovered in the North Sea. Although it was a complex machine they believed it to be older than Jesus Christ! Hitler’s historians believed it to be a relic of Atlantis.
The Brigade thought these stories were total fantasy and took these items home as trophies. Harris Stevens kept his actuator as a family heirloom while Tom McNaughton’s actuator was turned over to the Canadian government after his death in 1965. Unable to make heads or tails of it they locked it away at the Citadel military facility in Montreal.
The Stevens family became very wealthy in the years following the war. They began with a small investment in a Texas drilling company and a generation later they were one of America’s leading oil tycoons. At the height of the Cold War, Stevens and other Americans like them came together to see what they could do to protect America from the communist menace that threatened the world! They began to create security companies, private military, and even started their own special forces. They got into the business of War.
Politics, business, and war became the holy trinity for these men. They believed themselves to be the only salvation for America. With their wealth they were able to secure high positions within the Pentagon with their power they made themselves invisible. Commenting on his frustration about the lack of communication between the White House and the Pentagon, then Secretary of State Colin Powel said that the NeoCons (Neo Conservatives) have effectively taken over the country! He never elaborated on the comment.
Today the threat of terrorism has every nation on high alert. The whole world is looking over its shoulder. The NeoCons believe that in order for America to endure this crisis and emerge as the dominant power in the world they would need to control the worlds energy and her most powerful nations. A recent breakthrough with the "Portal Actuator" now makes this all possible.
It talked to them. The Actuator spoke with a message from another world, another earth! NeoGod and his people are alone on a dying world. Nine world wars was all it could handle, and now the species was on its last legs. On this earth Atlantis never sunk and her people prospered and evolved, by nature and design, to level that far surpassed homo sapiens. Now during their last days they reached out to the Spiral, the construct that intersects with all earths, looking for a way to escape.
The Canadian device was locked away in a sub-basement of the Citadel, but the NeoCons were never far from theirs. Once it started to speak they listened carefully. It wasn’t long before they figured out how to respond. The NeoCons found Atlantis on this earth. A large domed city off the coast of Norway at the bottom of the North Sea. They were surprised to find the place deserted but wasted little time setting up their operation.
A partnership was formed. With the guidance of NeoGod the NeoCons began to learn how to use the Portal Actuator and the other Atlantean technology. The Atlanteans have insisted on a number of tests to make sure the portal is safe before they step through. To this end the NeoCons have been transporting creatures from the worlds "below" them on the spiral, the broken worlds. These critters are aggressive, primal, and dangerous and would have destroyed the NeoCons if it wasn’t for the Atlantean weaponry they found in the sunken city. This gave them a great idea on how to finance the costly research.
After transferring a creature and examining it, they dropped them off in whatever country they desired. After it overcame the local defense force, they would use their troops to take it out, for a price. Not only were they gaining a new tech, they were getting their troops on the ground wherever they wanted. It was a win/win situation!
PCs wake up as prisoners in Atlantis. They will be going through a number of tests to determine what effects the portal had on their bodies. They are restrained by any means necessary.
The NeoCons come in to interrogate the XTF-3 a hologram of NeoGod is with them and asks more questions about the technology they used to initiate the transfer. After his interrogation (with the use of his telepathic powers) he believes low-dimensional harmonics may be the key!
PCs should remember or recognize on the NeoCons. Later when Madeline does a search for him she will discover that he was seen inside the pentagon that same day. There was a small flood in Atlantis and the intel also has him with soaking pants and shoes at the pentagon. The quickest way to get back to Atlantis and deal with it may be to strike through the pentagon through the portal device there.
The assembled group will be quite upset that the Atlantis site was infiltrated. NeoGod will hypothesize that the portal would have detected the signal and would have designated it a "rogue". It would then redirect and materialize it to save the passengers from dissipating in the ether between worlds. It will be a simple matter to disengage this feature.
A tech will then approach to report that they have detected a second rogue signal on the network. This one from Afghanistan. NeoGod will excuse himself from the interrogation to investigate.
"How long has the Canadian government been piggybacking my Spiral Tap?"
"I’m asking the questions."
"It is odd then that you would possess a transmitting device. Your government has meddled in a very delicate experiment. I require the location of your second transmitter, my analysis has determined that there is a one other rogue device. You will give me that location, or die."
"No matter, now that I have discovered how you’re doing it will only be a matter of time before I triangulate the location of the second portal actuator. Either way you lot will remain my prisoners and be subject to our experiments."
PCs will then need to escape. They will find the main lab where a portal will be open after their escape. The destination will shift between the desert, mountains, and towns of Afghanistan. The base security will be using advanced Atlantean weapons and armour to protect the base which could overcome the PCs. Their equipment is in another room and may have been taken apart.
