December, 1st, 2019: The story thus far...[hr]
Three weeks ago...

    A young hiker in Germany found a cave that had been opened up by the recent earthquake. Feeling adventurous, the man entered the cave and began to explore it. The cavern's walls were far apart and it's roof high. It felt more like a tunnel then a cave. Lost in the cave's appearance, the man slipped and fell into a hole, landing upside down. Luckily his backpack managed to protect his head, saving him. The man looked up and spotted the rather enormous hole he managed to have fallen in, how did he miss something so big? He quickly pulled out his phone to call for help, only to find it no longer had service. Starting to panic, he noticed light from just down the way. Hoping it was an exit, the man followed the light until he found it's source, the much needed exit. He covered his eyes as he stepped out into the light, but before him was not where he had entered. Despite being in the middle of winter, before him was a large field of grass with a lush green forest and a mountain range he had never seen behind it. Even the air here felt foreign to him, it was if he had just entered a whole other world. Slowly walking into this foreign land, he was almost immediately confronted by a large green creature wielding a horrifying looking club. Terrified, he ran back into the cave, attempting to climb the wall get bet back up the hole. As he approached the hole, he felt as if gravity had reversed, pulling up towards the hole. Once again he landed on his head on the other side, scrambling to his feet as he dashed out of the hole back towards the city...

Four days later...

    Two police officers enter the cave, investigating the reports of the cave. The hiker had spent the passed four days, trying to warn people about the cave, only to be passed off as another crazy before finally going to the police. Inside the cave, the two officers found the hole in the roof. The first officer walked over to the nearest wall, attempting to climb it. Just like the hiker, he felt himself pulled upwards, landing on his back. Looking up, he could see the hole above him, and through it the other officer staring back at him seemingly standing on the roof. After the second officer made his way through the hole and the two of them left the cave, entering the green landscape the hiker had described. The two were so mesmerized by the scene that neither of them noticed the green beast approaching from behind. The beast swung his club, smashing the head of one of the police officers and barley missing the second. The second officer quickly scrambled for his gun and manged to put the beast down after firing three whole rounds into the green beast's head.

The next week...

    News spread like wild fire until the entire planet knew about this mysterious land and it's dangers. While it was on German territory, the rest of the world felt that it did not, in fact, belong to them. Meetings and meetings of world leaders went on for a week and still no decisions had been made. Finally, Germany suggested that they would send a recon force in to scout the lands. Before any decisions about it be made it would be best if they knew more about this land. While the rest of the countries agreed, they asked if that their own troops be placed into this German recon force to insure their say in the matter. Germany agreed and the German New World Recon Task Force was formed.


December, 26th, 2019 Now...[hr]
For the past two weeks, the men and women of the New World Recon Task Force (N.W.R.T.F) have trained at a temporary German base built just outside of the cave for their expedition into the realm. The force is made up of trained soldiers from various countries, split into four groups. The first three groups are recon groups who will explore the lands while the last group's job is to set up and maintain a forward operating base as which to stage these recon trips. Now, after the short two weeks they've spent training, they stand at the entrance of the cave. While many have gone through the cave over the passed three weeks, no one has ever gone farther then a few steps into the new world. These men and women would be the first the venture into the Realm Beyond Our Own...
