At the request of a general and a young Senator, Capt. Ellis began an investigation into the Miami area. He employed contacts he had within the FBI, DEA, and CIA to initially gather information on the area and the possible natural, and supernatural, events. He then used a devastating hurricane to move his people into place under the guise of being part of the humanitarian effort engaged by FEMA and the National Guard.
These men have served him since his time in Vietnam and are fiercely loyal to him and the government.
They have gathered a mass of evidence of supernatural creatures in the Miami area and have come into violent contact with a few. Each contact has left several of them dead, or severely wounded, and has taught them valuable lessons. They have transferred much of their knowledge back up the chain of command and are awaiting further orders
