Act 1, Chapter 1—Operation Diving Pelican:

March 1st, 2022, the ParaCom operatives were deployed via a Vertical Take-Off and Landing troop transport aircraft. Their commander, Main Officer Arnold Bradley, instructed the squad, “The operation is taking place in the West Coast of the continental US. Paranormal activity has been reported and eyewitnesses reported abductions during the assault. Because there are no civilians, this mission is a search and destroy one for any paranormal activity.” The troop transport landed, allowing the squadron to exit to begin the search and destroy mission against the paranormal.

Though a beach would be relaxing during daytime, the time was of the witching hour, when the paranormal was at peak activity. Sea creatures might rise from the tides.

Stores by the beach can provide urban combat and locations of the supernatural enemies. A [url=http://studioten25.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/manhattan_beach_pier.jpg]pier[/url] also provided an area to explore. Though it theoretically would have been crawling with the paranormal, the team would have to search and destroy them systematically.
