Your assignment just arrived. Castle Rock Complex a.k.a the Minerva Archive. An underfunded Cold-War era research institute and archive that has seen better days. Supposedly, the Castle is on it's last leg and the Federal Government is pulling the plug. Looks like you've got a lot of boring, monotonous work ahead of you cataloging and organizing half a century worth of occult bs. Have fun!

While speculation varied, and was undoubtedly confounded by conflicting Soviet reports, the Allies took no chances with victory so close at hand. On May 8th, 1944 these suspicions were confirmed when...[/indent]
