I along with his best friend, Dr. Correinne Ledgester discover blueprints to a strange machine that hints at super-dimensional travel. The research appears to be conducted by Unknown research organization I am a part of, sponsored by the Unknown, and overseen by Gen Dymas Gaticus Valdor. Intrigued, we snuck into a long abandoned part of the lab and found more papers by a man named Unir NaDoldor and a paper by Dr. Nathan Perdu, titled Resonant Frequency Response of Hyperfolds in Space-time. What was especially shocking was that the dates on the papers didn't make sense (10,172; 9,937; 10,170; 10,204; 9,371; 7,199). We realized that the machine we found out about could not only transport in space, but also time. Before reading too much, we were found out by the head of research, Dr. Ifan Balak. We tried to escape, but only I made it out safely. My freedom didn't last long however. Not long after escaping, I was captured by a Unknown team and a strange woman. I was placed under suspended animation and experimented upon for decades.
I came home to find my mother, Kolaje NaDoldor of Clan Myesso dying, stabbed in the chest by her boyfriend Rush McGorry. Before being able to call for help, the man comes back to finish the job and set to kill the me too. After a vicious fight, I managed to escape and eventually kill him. Upon stumbling back home I went to my mother's body and found my father's pendant, still in the my mother's grasp. It is a pendant, my father Unir gave her, before disappearing, when I was very little.
Many years later. Still mourning my partner's death, I reluctantly took on one of his cases, the disappearance of Dr. Liz Thompson. I was called to a murder scene, where I found her husband ritualistically killed, with a note stuck into his mouth that appeared to have my design specifications, a note on a project called Icarus, and a model called DOR1-AN. I recalled that this project was something my partner was investigating trying to find out about my past.
I was deployed onto a planet called Unknown, where we were tasked at relocating the small local population. On the planet, we were assisted by a spook named Dr. Ifan Balak. However, the mission went terribly wrong as my squad encountered a strange relic. Attacked from all directions, I was the only survivor. However it's not long 'till I was accused of killing everyone and court-martialed.
Unwilling to let go of the case of Dr. Liz Thompson, I found new clues in an abandoned building, where I found a video of the woman among lots of complicated research equipment. In the video, she was talking to a man referred to as Unir NaDoldor. They seem to be discussing some sort of experiment she was conducting on brains and circuits. They also had a baffling exchange about loops and having done this 41 times and how Unir NaDoldor was in search of some woman.
My sentence was eventually stayed because of my father's influence. My father, Gen Dymas Gaticus Valdor, is a high ranking flag officer. Shortly after, I was deployed onto Unknown.
I escaped Unknown onto Unknown. However, there was someone hiding on my ship and she proceeded to pursue me throughout the station. As this woman taunted me she spread a disease that turned the occupants insane. I was desperate to escape her and hid my mind within an ancient relic, Mind Cage. The woman was revealed to not be a woman at all, but a shapeshifting alien entity. It messaged someone on the planet telling them it would be down soon and took on a persona of a station lowly mechanic.
I talked to my partner, Dr. Correinne Ledgester, about my search for my father before departing for Unknown. Upon arriving at Unknown, I was quickly hired by Dr. Kathryn Lizzaro, the head of the 2nd Miskatonic Expedition on Unknown to help install seismometers throughout the area. Along the way I found a liking to a handsome grad student, Eddy Elbrow.
We arrived at Unknown, where we found the body of Dr. Nathan Perdu and took a little figurine, a picture of a woman and a child, and a tablet from his body. The place quickly turned into a death trap, but we managed to survive and along the way even help to rescue a young mechanic onto the planet surface as Unknown de-orbiteed. We landed near a woman, Seer Gaael from Church of T'thurm, who was accompanying a young girl. They crashed their vehicle and needed help getting back to Unknown. We decided to help. They knew the way anyway. As went on foot through the desert, we were sucked into a sink hole and separated from the mechanic, the woman, and the girl. Beneath the sink hole, we run into a Unknown that had strange pods filled with living people and a calcified alien entity that warned us of something terrible coming. We escaped and made our way to Unknown.
I learned that Eddy Elbrow went missing and was tasked by Dr. Kathryn Lizzaro with finding him. We learned that the 1st Miskatonic Expedition was lost on the planet months ago and the 2nd Miskatonic Expedition was there to find out what happened.
Following up on my past, the Unknown infiltrated the local Unknown compound and found that I, my wife Cynthia Schawrz, and a man called Rush McGorry have all been part of a secret operation called Star Signals. Ziritsa NaDoldor recognized Rush as the man who killed her mother and almost killed her. She thought she has killed him instead. We found out that Rush and Cynthia, were both alive and on the planet, deployed to Unknown.
We grew suspicious of the local Church of T'thurm and its charismatic leader, High Seer Nalliv. We decided to find out more and accepted a dinner invitation from the leader, where scoped out the place and had our suspicions grow stronger. However, unbeknownst to us, the priest has cast some sort of a spell on the whole party.
We discovered that Unknown were hidden within or masquerading as the Church of T'thurm Pilgrimage and they were led by someone known as Amarelyh. Within the bowls of the church, we found a book called the Necronomnomnom and a paper by Dr. Nathan Perdu, titled Resonant Frequency Response of Hyperfolds in Space-time. We also learned that the cult was holding a child prisoner, a 12 year old girl named A'aret Perdu. However, a portion of the church escaped the town before we could find out more. Just as the Sarkic ship was taking off, I got a cryptic message from my long dead wife and we experienced a period of weightlessness and loss of time.
After infiltrating the Unknown, we were approached by the Unknown director, Isabelle Chaude. The company runs the town, but have suffered a number of security setbacks, which she attributed to the cult. The company HQ has lost all contact with Unknown and has not heard from the Unknown details they sent to investigate. She has employed us to go into one of the company's mines and recover the company's property.
Not a day later, we found a secret passage within the local Unknown and found a strange book called Star Signals, which I hid and would eventually start to read.
Within the hidden passage, we were approached by Dr. Joseph Hromongen, a research scientist working at the 2nd Miskatonic Expedition Arrives. He revealed himself as the Site Director for Unknown, whose real mission is to identify the extent of the danger posed by the unnatural anomalies within the planet.
Before long we were are attacked by vengeful cultists, who tried to destroy the town. We managed the situation with the help of, Hemva, the mechanic we rescued, and decided to go to Unknown. However, on our way realized that most of our vehicles were sabotaged and attracted a Unknown.
We barely made it to the base camp. While resting I once again played with the little figurine we found on Unknown and unwittingly triggered the ancient device, swapping my mind with that of Dr. Nathan Perdu and entrapping me within the device. Now free, Dr. Nathan Perdu set out to find his daughter A'aret Perdu.
The Voices In My Head found the base camp to be abandoned outside of NED, who was trapped in a box and a woman, Pye Fokes, the foreman, who proceeded to attack us all with strange and horrifying eldritch powers. Our group managed to barely escape and regroup. However upon returning, we found Pye's body dismembered and on the brink of death near a Sarkic altar. Upon the exchange I figured out that Hemva was actually Amarelyh and tried to trap her mind within the Mind Cage. I failed however and she managed to trigger a magical trap she has cast upon us, as High Seer Nalliv, trapping us within a nightmare.
Within the nightmare we learned that Amarelyh is an ancient shapeshifter and that she's not alone. As we were trapped within this nightmare, her partner was actively using A'aret Perdu in a dark ritual somewhere within Unknown. We confronted her and were attacked by scores of people turned shadows. Fearing our lives were over, we decided to strike a bargain with Amarelyh. We exchanged a promise to open a gate once we got down the moon for our lives. The deal was secured by Ziritsa NaDoldor father's Strange Pendant 00, which she handed to Amarelyh.
Back at base camp, we found TS Sigma in suspended animation, within a container permeated with a black shadowy substance, as well as key cards. Shockingly, we also found the body of a much older version of me, suspended in another tank! However, draining the tank seemed to have also stopped whatever was keeping my body alive leading to her perishing, before insisting to me that she did not exist.
We descended into the mine, quickly realizing that something terrible happened there and all workers were either dead or outright disappeared. Upon venturing further into the mine we found out that the mine was filled with spatial anomalies that if entered into, transported individuals into an entirely different place that resembled an old office building, where space didn't behave the same as in the world we were used to, turning the corridors into a confusing maze. As we explored the endless office hallways, we found a shadowy fungal contamination that, upon testing, seemed to be made of the same substance we encountered within the nightmare. We also found videos from surviving miners that showed that they were being chased, killed, and absorbed by this shadowy fungal entity. Finally we ran into signs that pointed us to an organization called Unknown. The very organization I sacrificed so much to escape.
After a long time trying to find our way out, we found a door with a desk that appeared to be used by Dr. Liz Thompson. She seemed to be researching strange music called The Symphony Of The Spheres, which has led her to question reality and pursue solipsistic philosophies along deep dives into artificial intelligence. We were also met by Cynthia Schawrz, who didn't catch onto John Beaumann being embodied by the mind of Dr. Nathan Perdu. The reunion didn't last long as we come into contact with the shadowy fungus that has by now absorbed Unknown miners and Unknown soldiers alike. Before being absorbed ourselves, we figured out that the code we needed to open the door was part of something called cyclic primes that were printed on the cards we had (99371, 93719, 37199, 71993, 19937). We made our way through the door, and lock it behind us.
The door leds us to a hallway and the hallway led us to a revolving door with a red light shining behind it. Walking through it, we found themselves in a restaurant called the Unknown, which is located within the campus of the Unknown many years in the past. Apparently the restaurant was opened by Lord Theadore Thomas Blackwood and Gen Dymas Gaticus Valdor. The restaurant was filled with interesting people. Among them was a young Dr. Liz Thompson, engrossed in a conversation about entropy, two people talking about project called DOR1-AN, in which they were able to scan a woman's brain in its entirety and replay it in a simulation, a woman named Max Blackwood who was boasting about her adventures with Unir NaDoldor and showing off her Strange Pendant 00.
Along the way, we talked to Dr. Omar Harkhim] who told us about his research into harmonic patterns within brains and themicrowave background, which he posited are a proof for the entropic principle and connected it to findings within the ruins of the Unknown. Before leaving, I was handed an envelope from my father, Unir NaDoldor. In it was a note with a pattern which we need to follow to make their way through the The In-Between, “↑↑↓↓←→←→BA” and Constantine Valdor got a secret warning from his father, Gen Dymas Gaticus Valdor.
Upon returning to the In-between, we found ourselves confronted by the shadowy fungus which has taken over the entire space, while we were gone. Bodies of fallen soldiers, miners, and more swirled within the black mass, spawning horrific mutations which accosted us. Having killed two of the monstrosities and made space to escape, we climbed a hole in the ceiling, following the pattern in Ziritsa NaDoldor's envelope.
The pattern led us through an entirely different area from the office corridors, as we found ourselves within some sort of training facility created by Unknown. Here we learned that the environment could be altered down to the force of gravity and that it was filled with engineered mechanical and biological entities designed to test those who enter. We found that to move forward, we could follow clues written in a cypher messages throughout the space and that our actions could alter the environment.
Following the pattern, we found ourselves in a jungle, where we ran into dying Eddy Elbrow, on who we found secret SCP Field Codes. Upon reviving him, he first told us that he was a research student with the 2nd Miskatonic Expedition, but upon realizing he was about to die he confessed that he was really a secret operative for the Unknown and was in pursuit of a rouge agent who someone killed and buried within this level. In a desperate attempt to salvage his mission he asked us to find her. Figuring out that the cypher, we were now used to, could also act as a map, we eventually discovered the fallen agent. However, the "rouge agent" was none other than, a much older, Dr. Correinne Ledgester, who managed to record a secret message for me, which revealed that Eddy Elbrow was the one who killed her. She also confessed that she was part of a project called Icarus, which was charged with finding the source of spacetime anomalies that have occurred at three known years: 7,199, 9,371, and 9,937, which were associated with extinctions of entire civilizations, and harmonic frequencies of materials found at the civilization ruins. She had on her one of the Strange Pendant 00s. Upon learning the truth, we tortured and I eventually killed Eddy Elbrow, who in the end, proved remorseless. The last words Dr. Correinne Ledgester spoke to me was to dig under the water.
