"R-4808N 37 14 06 115 48 40. I hope you're receiving this transmission, Peter. If you are not, then all hope is lost. You must know by now that we failed to contain the asylum, that we had to move the experiment here. Location. The numbers will guide you. The giant must remain *static* at all costs, repeat, Der Riese must be contained at all costs. The DG-2 experiments continue. You'll be our only advantage now. Find Doctor Richtofen and Doctor Maxis, they may know what's going on. The use of 115 is dangerous at best. I'm not sure if we can continue here. We've lost most of our best *static*. I hope you get this. I hope it hasn't happened there too, but I'm almost out of hope. 60 54 06.96 101 55 44.94." Radio 2: *whispering* "Element 115" and "Find Dr. Richtofen" Radio 3: "Eh..where are we?" — Dempsey " A better question is..." — Nikolai "When are we?" — Richtofen "NO! Where the hell is my Vodka?!" — Nikolai "Yes of course, the DG-2 must have overloaded the teleporter, ripping space-time, back tracing us across to the future! Ohh Wünderbar! (Wonderful in German) A-HA!" — Richtofen (Takeo throws up, dropping Nikolai's vodka) "There is my vodka! Thank you, Takeo." — Nikolai "Oh come on Tak, suck it up and walk it off." — Dempsey" Kino Der Toten
Radio 1:
"(static) Entry 741021! Perhaps the station will hold the key to the real goals of Group 935. I still do not trust my unconventional allies, but they are of great use to me. But, I digress. Who would have thought the MDT was capable of time travel? How many stations does this group have? Where did that little girl disappear to? Only time will tell what new questions awaits us in this... THEATER OF THE DAMNED! (static)" — Dr. Edward Richtofen Radio 2: "The timeline for deployment can be accelerated. Given the progress we have made in the past two weeks, if patient two-six can retain the impressions longer than twenty-six hours, we will have the process perfected. (Static)" — Dr. Maxis Radio 3: "*sigh* Another setback. Patient two-six was killed this morning in a field test. He lost control and attacked one of our handlers. His injuries were minor but patient two-six was destroyed. The break in programming coincided with the flashing lights and loud noises of the fire alarm in the test facility. (Knocking on the door is heard.) One moment! (Knocking repeats.) What is it? (static)" — Dr. Maxis Film Reel 1: "The test subjects have been undergoing treatment for five days with very little progress. I have been assured that, given time, the programming will take hold. (Static)" — Dr. Maxis *The film shows a scientist working with a chemistry set* Film Reel 2: "In the past weeks, we have made great strides in breaking through to their subconscious. I have had the projectionists make edits to the few. These changes have been very effective." — Dr. Maxis *On the screen, zombies can be seen along with the numbers "115" and "110".* Film Reel 3: "Subject two-six has had a breakthrough, he is responding to the treatment and following basic instructions, the violent outbursts have been greatly reduced, and given time, we feel this method of treatment will be 100 percent effective in most cases." — Dr. Maxis *On the screen, an eye and the letters JD and Group 935's symbol can be seen.* AscensionRadio 1:
"Convey my sincere gratitude to you for that, but onto to business. I am pleased to that report all projects are running smoothly again after recent personnel changes. As I have previously mentioned, Yuri Zavoyski is a brilliant scientist but he has so far proven incapable of handling Project Mercury, or as you call it, the Gersch Device, and so, due to numerous delays and setbacks I have sadly been forced to transfer Yuri to the AT64-A experiments. I have decided that your nephew should take his place. I look forward to working with him directly. The recent incident with the Casimir Mechanism leaves no doubt in my mind that this is the right decision. The explosion caused the Mechanism significant damage, it will take time to re-manufacture all of the parts, unless some of them can be salvaged." — Gersch Radio 2: "Rockets! He transfers me to work on rockets! These experiments require no finesse, no imagination! My intellect is ill served blasting a bunch of monkeys into the atmosphere! *sigh* But I can’t fight Gersch over this. I was able to hold onto my keys, (STATIC) some after hours research. No one else really understands what Project Mercury is capable of. Until then, this lab will have to do. Wait... Is that a Matryoshka Doll? Has someone let a child in?" — Yuri Radio 3 "Found a box today. Some lebanke left his teddy bear in it, a disgusting and filthy toy! Who keeps bringing their child onto this base!? Thank God they did not take the diary: the things I have learned about Element (Static). I'll have to conduct this research on my own, away from the destructive hands of Gersch! His research into Project Mercury has stalled, but will he be transferred!? I doubt it! As long as Project (Static) remains on track, his friends at (STATIC). I must think small." — Yuri Radio 4: "I can assure you that our craft will be far superior to whatever the Americans, or should I say, Canadians, are developing. Finally, Project Thunder is nearing completion. My staff has assured me that the remaining limitations of the effective range and power cells will be solved within the next few months. Oh, and also, you should know that Doctor Zavoyski does not appear to be adjusting to his new position. He has been hostile towards the other scientists, at least, more than usual and has frequently been seen muttering to himself. The transition must have been hard for him, but if he does not learn his place soon... I may require another, more competent scientist to replace him." — Gersch Radio 5: "They're entering my head! Always my head! I can't enter, I can't Uh, I can't stop it! Keep it out! Why won't you leave me alone!? Calm down Yuri! Calm down! No, no I won't! Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up! J-Just stop! Fine... Okay, okay, I will. — Yuri Radio 6: "This had better be good, Yuri. The fact that you're even in this lab again is reason enough to have you permanently removed! If you've done anything to ruin-" — Gersch "Do not worry, you will not be disappointed. In fact, I'm sure you won't forget it! But I can't take all the credit. If you'll do me the honors." — Yuri (A button press is heard.) "Having fun!?" — Samantha Maxis "What the-!?" — Gersch (Electricity surges and glass breaks.) "No! No! Yuri, you-! AAAH!" — Gersch "(Laughter) You fat pig! Enjoy your bib! Heheheh, heh... Oh no. No! Nononono! Nonononono! What have I done!? What have I do-" — Yuri Shangri-LaRadio 1:
Brock: "The heat and humidity is just excruciating. According to the locals, the temple should be in this mountain range, just up this river. Gary, do you hear that? A waterfall, we must be close! Hand me the binoculars! There is a structure up ahead. If this is truly a gateway to Agartha, my work will finally be validated!" Gary: "Uhh, Brock, I don't think this place is abandoned." Brock: "Don't be silly. This place has to be thousands of years old" *Static* Brock: "I have found some unfinished carvings around the structures I can't make out. They do not look like...wait...what is this?" *Sounds of objects being moved are heard, followed by the sound heard when teleporting* Gary: "What the hell is that? Why is the sky dark?" *Zombies can be heard* Brock: "It's an eclipse! We must've-" Gary: "Run!" *The two are heard running* Gary: "What are those things?" Brock: "Zombies. We'll have to find another way." Gary: "Zombies? What're you talking about?" Brock: "The writings must've been right. No! Don't touch that! Damn, take a look around and try to find a way out" Gary: "I got nothin'." Brock: "We will have to conserve our supplies. Take your shoes off and hand me your socks." *Static* *Zombies are once again heard* Brock: "I have been trapped in the temple structure for days. Gary is dead. I don't see a way out of here. I can still hear the zombies outside. I fear this is my last recording, as the battery's about to die. And I will soon follow. One thing I can be certain of, is that blood-" Radio 2: Brock: "We are moving through a small network of tunnels. This seems to be some sort of aquaduct system. Unless this was carved out of the much later-" *Rocks are heard tumbling* Gary: "Holy crap!" Brock: "We need to start digging and get past this cave-in!" *They are heard digging.* Brock: "Well, we lucked out on that!" Gary: "I wouldn't classify any of this as 'lucky'." Brock: "Well we are still alive." *Zombies heard moaning* Gary: "Shh, do you hear that?" *Zombies now screaming* Brock: "Quickly! Under there!" *Zombie moaning stops* Gary: "Great, another dead end." Brock: "Well at least we're safe for now." *Machinery is heard moving* Gary: "Really?!" *Gas is heard and both are heard coughing. Coughing then stops and thumps are heard. They most likely passed out.* *Static* Brock: "Gary! Gary, get up! Hello?!" Radio 3: Brock: "That did it! His leg is free and the way is clear! Let's get moving." *Static* Brock: "We're moving through a small network of tunnels. This appears to be some sort of aquaduct system. Unless this was carved out of the much later-" *Static* *Rocks can be heard tumbling* Gary: "Holy crap!" Radio 4: Gary: "Let's get out of here before spikes shoot out of the walls and the floors open up to a pit of lava!" Brock: "This place is massive! The architecture is not what I expected to see. It's more of an interpretation-" Gary: "What the hell's wrong with you? If this place doesn't kill us the freaking undead will. We are stuck inside some kind of trap-filled temple of death surrounded by a horde of undead and you are talking about the rugs not matching the curtains. If you don't-" *STATIC* Brock:"Well, this is unfortunate." Gary:"I rest my case." *STATIC* Brock:"The walls are too slippery to climb. I can see a tube about halfway up the side of the well, but we can't reach it." Gary:"Huh? What is that? I think something just swam past my leg." Brock:"Where?" Gary:"I dunno!" *Drowning and then static is heard.* Radio 5: Brock:"Yes, we can reach the top!" *STATIC* Gary:"I can see the outside." Brock:"Thank heavens, we're finally out of the wretched catacombs." Gary:"There's still a full eclipse!" Brock:"Yes, it's very strange. I've been thinking about those unfinished carvings we saw before the eclipse occurred and can't help but think they hold some kind of key clues. We should investigate the stepped pyramid for some clues." Gary:"I think we should get the hell out of here while we still have a chance!" Brock:"But we're so close to proving the existence of Ag-!" *Bear trap is heard going off * Radio 6: Gary:"I see the outside!" Brock:"Thank heavens we're finally out of the wretched catacombs." Gary:"There's still a full eclipse." Brock:"Yes, it's very strange. Those carvings are gone before we saw the eclipse. Give me a moment. Hmm." Zombie scream is heard. Gary:"Aw jeez, man. Do we really have to do this now?" Brock:"Yes! They do match the pictures on that tattoo! It's a code: 16, 1, 3, 4. It's nothing much. Perhaps we have to-" Radio 7: Brock:"We've made it inside the top of the temple. I can see an antichamber through a crack in the wall but there is no way to get inside, it's completely infused." Gary:"If we had a stick of dynamite I could get us in there." Brock:"Well unless you brought some I think we're not getting any further." Gary:"I had some in my bag but dropped it when we were attacked by that horde of zombies. By the look of it out there, we're not gonna be able to stroll around looking for it." Brock:"So close to the answer" Gary:"We need to get the hell out of here before it's too late." Radio 8: *The humming noise emitted by an unactivated musical easter egg piece is heard throughout* Brock: "Now entering the antichamber. I see some sort of altar and there is a rock suspended above it. This is just wonderful, an inscription: Rich-tof-en. Richtofen. Gary, take an etching." *Etching can be heard as Brock continues* Brock: "Rock above the altar seems to be suspended in thin air! I am going to remove it now!" *Teleporting noise is heard* Gary: "We've been in this jungle for days and haven't seen any sign of this hidden temple." Brock: "We cannot give up; it has to be here." Gary: "I can't shake this feeling like we're going in circles." Brock: "We should head to higher ground and take a look." *Trampling though the forest is heard.* Brock: "The heat and humidity is just excruciating. According to the locals, the temple should be in this mountain range, just up this river. Gary, do you hear that? A waterfall, we must be close! Hand me the binoculars! There is a structure up ahead. If this is truly a gateway to Agartha, my work will finally be validated!" NuketownRadio 1:
(Unknown Background sounds are heard, and then a knifing sound) Edward Richtofen: "I know I should have invented an egg moving robot. Stupid Maxis, with his rules, and STUPID ACCENT!" Radio 2: (Typing sounds) Edward Richtofen: "Login, Teddy. Password, is a liar." (confirm sound) Edward Richtofen: "I'm not but that's why no one would guess it!" Radio 3: (The M.P.D. activates and opens. Samantha Maxis rises from the M.P.D.) Edward Richtofen: Hello Samantha, you little brat... your time is coming!... soon (laughs)... SO SOON!" Radio 4: (Richtofen puts the Vril Generator in front of the M.P.D.) Edward Richtofen: "Oh this is going to be so much fun! Finally we can confront this, little beast. Quickly, power up the mach-" (static) Radio 5: (The M.P.D. activates and Richtofen switches souls with Samantha) Edward Richtofen: "The power. THE POWER! I will control them all! I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL! But not before we continue the game!" (The zombies eyes turn blue) TranZitRadio 1:
Ludvig Maxis: "What has occured cannot be undone. However, I realize the calculations were made in haste and could potentially threaten the entire globe. That was not the intent. I considered a possible plan B, should this occur, but this plan would consist of creating global polarization devices that would - (gasp) "It appears I have difficulty speaking. (gasp) "Devices when the power - Shut the power (gasp) "me." Radio 2: Jackass Flats: Hello! Hello! This is Jackass Flats calling any human community within broadcasting distance. We are located at standard map coordinates, 37 degrees, 07 North. 116 degrees, 03 West. This is a warning to anyone contacted by a group of mysterious voices. Several of our party began to hear the voices and they're completing instructions and incompatible demands drove a wedge down the center of the camp. Half of the camp is carrying out the demands of..." (Static) "only through electronics. This voice is a...big...(Static) "and its ultimate goal is unclear. The other voice cannot be heard by humans who have some...(Static) "on the..." (Static) "Madness this way lies. Neither of these instruction sets will...understand..." (Static) "Those of us who have not chosen a side have been hunted by both sides. Seeking to force us to assist them. Oh God, they found me! No! Get back! You can't - Stop! (screams)" (Electric sounds heard.) Radio 3: Man: "What's that?" (Voice is heard in background) "Who's there? Yes, I can hear you. Of course I have, there's nothing else. No, I won't do that. How do I know you're not lying? You could be making that all up. Sure, that only makes sense. Do...kill one. But... No, no I see, sure. Really? They're my friends. Yes.. Of course I see now. I'll do it. I'll do it for you. For you and the FLESH!" Radio 4: Man: "Hello? Hello? Are you there? We activated the spire as you instructed, but the shamblers are swarming our location and we can't hold against their superior numbers for long without aid. Hello? Please come in! It is vital that you instruct us on that..."(Static) Radio 5: Man: "You think you're so smart, huh? Haha. You think you can manipulate everyone into doin' what you want, but we know the truth..." (A stumbling over sound is heard.) "Your calculated works...and your sinister agents. You... you mean to destroy this planet and kill us all! Haha! We're not going to help. No way, no how. So yeah, keep talking, no one is going to hear you because we destroyed everything. Everything electronic, starting with...evil...radio...box thing!" (Crashing sound is heard.) Radio 6: Man: "Come in electronic voice. We've been attempting to activate your spire as instructed. But one of our members began hearing the other voice you warned us about. He turned on the rest of us and shot one member of our crew and wounded another before we restrained him. Hello? Hello? Damn this thing, why doesn't it answer when we call it. HELLO?" Die Rise

George Barkley: "Attention all on this channel, this is George Barkley, former assistant director of the CDC facility in Druid Hills, Georgia. Prior to the destruction of our headquarters, our research found evidence that contaminates are now infecting the very air we breathe. As such, exposure of some sort appears inevitable for all survivors. Symptoms are variable, but most subjects display short term memory loss, psychosis, delusion, and paranoia. Short term memory loss has also been reported, but as of yet, I have been unable to confirm this. We advise all individuals to monitor their fellow survivors, for signs of the above symptoms. Paranoia in particular! Ask yourself, are those closest to you really who you think they are? Are they following a secret agenda? Are they, perhaps, plotting against you? The dangers presented by such symptoms cannot be overstated. It is with deep sadness that I myself was forced to euthanize fourteen members of my own team. My condolences to their families. I hope this message serves as a warning to all survivors. We must all do whatever it takes, to ensure our future as a species. Thank you." Radio 2: Woman: "Is there anyone out there? Please respond! I desperately need help. The others left me, I'm all alone. Help! I tried to do it, to do it right, but the others, they wouldn't... This piece goes here! This piece goes there! I couldn't do it on my own! I need help, what am I going to do? The German man stopped talking to me, and I don't know what to do...what to do..." Radio 3: Man: "Science has failed us. He has abandoned us. In this new world, we alone are your salvation. We alone, can light the way. Hear our words. Heed our call. There is but one path to enlightenment. Just as they would consume us, we must consume them! We are the living, AND we are the dead. WE ARE THE FLESH, AND THE FLESH IS US! We will not starve. We will thrive!" Radio 4: Saber 10: "Recon 5, this is Saber 10. Our sweep failed to find evidence of any survivors on site. Broken Arrow is not viable for new FOB (Foward Operating Base)." ... "That's a negative sir, records appear to have been destroyed in a fire prior to the facility being overrun." ... "Sir, we believe staff may have been trying to destroy evidence implicating them in the outbreak." ... "Understood sir, confirmed drop in T-5. Retreating to safe distance."

Radio 1:
"My name is Stanley Ferguson, I was a guard in Alcatraz Island from 1933 to 1942. Today, I'm going to give you some insight into the more interesting tales of the prison's history. Over the decades, Alcatraz has seen more than its fair share of daring escape attempts. However, few were as audacious as the one undertaken by four inmates on New Years Eve, 1933. Thought to be the brainchild of an inmate by the name of Albert Arlington, the outrageous scheme was as unlikely as its mastermind." Radio 2: "It is believed that Arlington, a.k.a The Weasel, somehow convinced three other inmates that he had devised a foolproof plan to escape the Rock. It was a plan that would see them literally taking to the skies in a makeshift aircraft of Arlington's own design." Radio 3: "Just how The Weasel managed to convince these hardened criminals that such a plan was even possible remains a mystery to this day. What IS known, is that no such plane was ever built. Instead, the group's plans for freedom soon descended into bitter argument and infighting." Radio 4: "With the plan falling apart, anger and frustration would ultimately lead to a brutal altercation between the misguided Arlington and his former co-conspirators." Radio 5: "Armed only with makeshift weapons, Finn O'Leary, Sal DeLuca, and Billy Handsome, lured the unsuspecting Arlington to the roof, where they intended to exact a bloody, and final, revenge." Radio 6: "And so it was here, beneath the dark and stormy winter skies, that the hapless Arlington met his grizzly end, bleeding to death on the cold concrete roof. For their participation in the murder, the three collaborators were sent to death by electric chair. Justice came swiftly, on the morning of January 19th, 1934, the execution order was carried out." OriginsRadio 1:
Ludvig Maxis: The ancient texts describe an artifact known to them as the Amplification Rod. It is my firm belief this item is instrumental to harnessing the energy of the elemental stones. Unfortunately, neither the rod nor the stones have been recovered from any of our dig sites. I feel we must push forward regardless. As such, I have drawn up plans to create replica rods based on the descriptions from the main chamber. I will instruct Richtofen to begin fabrication immediately. Radio 2: Ludvig Maxis: Researching Element 115 continues to yield unforeseen results. The conversion process creates localized energy fields which appear to function as portals, bringing forth objects of indeterminate origin. It is my hypothesis, however outlandish, that this transferal of matter may actually be occurring through space and time. I believe the answer may lay with the broken rune stones located at the mound, perhaps channeling sufficient energy from the conversion generators to their location may prove fruitful. Radio 3: Ludvig Maxis: It is by chance or fate alone that we unlocked the seal to the main chamber. Repeated efforts to use brute force proved ineffective and left the men exhausted and frustrated. In an effort to alleviate the tension, one of the soldiers brought a gramophone to the chamber along with a recording by a group of performers known as "La Source Noire". To our astonishment, as we listened to the first few bars of music, the seal itself began to open. I cannot help but wonder if other such recordings may similarly reveal other areas of the catacomb. Radio 4: Ludvig Maxis: When I awoke this morning, I learned of mysterious events that took place during the night. Men working on the installation of the generators, reporting seeing ancient figures emerging from the mount. I would doubt their story, but for the fact that by morning, many of the men were either dead or missing. Radio 5: Ludvig Maxis: When 115 is channeled towards the ancient stones, an energy field appears to drag unknown objects into our reality. Is it possible that Element 115 is disrupting the space time continuum itself? How else could an ancient box, created eons ago bring forth weapons from different eras? Perhaps including even our own future! Further study is needed to understand these powerful and unpredictable forces. Radio 6: Ludvig Maxis: The child's voice calls to me more frequently than ever. At first she spoke only of her imprisonment in a mythical realm known as "Agartha". Now she claims to be my daughter, even though I know no such child exists! (sigh) I fear my sanity may be slipping away from me. |

"Sophia, this letter is to go to the Reichstag High Command immediately. Gentlemen, it is with the utmost urgency that I draw your attention to the lack of funding being injected into The Giant project. While I believe we are close to realizing the ultimate plan, we still have several years of development before it is ready. It would be folly to cut our expenditure so early in our development. As you know, early tests on the DG-2 have easily outperformed expectations and we fully anticipate mass producing the Wunderwaffe within the next few years. Work on the matter transference has however come to a standstill. We simply do not have enough Element 115 to continue the experiments. The test subjects have survived teleportation but are currently unresponsive to commands and cannot be controlled. If we are to overcome this obstacle we need to increase the frequency and size of the experiment. To this end, I suggest we find not only a regular supply of 115, but that we also find a larger conduit to channel the energy. Our operatives in America have informed us that the US have a large supply of the element at the Nevada base, so time is of the essence if we are to stay ahead of them. This cannot be done if you cut the budget, nor can it be done if you insist on pressuring us into action before we are ready. I am of course available for discussion of the matter but in the meantime, I will continue with the work here and try to win this damned war. Signed, etcetera etcetera, Doctor Maxis." — Dr. Maxis Radio 2: Dr. Maxis: "Stand up." *A zombie groans.* Dr. Maxis: "STAND UP!!!" *the zombie groans again.* Dr. Maxis: "Good. Look at me. (Snaps fingers twice) Over Here! Good. Now walk forward." *The zombie groans once more and shuffling footsteps are heard* Dr. Maxis: "Excellent. Further. Keep coming." *The zombie groans and falls to the ground* Dr. Maxis: "It's all right. Stay there." *The zombie groans, footsteps resume, only faster.* Dr. Maxis: "Calm down. I order you..." *The zombie attacks.* Dr. Maxis: "Kill it!" *Gunfire. The zombie dies.* Dr. Maxis: "Bring me another." Radio 3: "Dr. Maxis: "Now, you must be very diligent with her, Samantha. Owning a dog is a great responsibility." Samantha: "Yes, father. Oh, I love her." Dr. Maxis: "You must feed her every day, and walk her, and be very careful when you play with her. You know she's going to have puppies?" Samantha: "Really? Can I keep the puppies too father?" Dr. Maxis: "We'll see, Samantha. One step at a time." Radio 4: Man 1: "But I'm all out of hope. Auf Wiedersehen (goodbye in German), my friend." *The man turns a knob thrice, at the third turn, a machine starts rumbling and an alarm blares.* *A repeating message on the P.A. system:* "Warning, the shield is now active, find and destroy the designated materials and report to the barracks, this is not a drill." Man 1: "Dammit! - I can't find my pills... they are coming, I must do what I must do, God forgive us all!" *A chair scraping and choking noises can be heard, people can be heard all talking at once, some screaming, a zombie howl pierces the screaming. Gunshots are heard.* Radio 5: "Gentlemen, allow me to take this opportunity to welcome you to Group 9-3-5. This is a prestigious moment in the history of our race. You represent the future of technological advancement. You are the pioneers of human discovery. In your hands lies the destiny of mankind. In our hands is a great power and with that power comes a price. You have volunteered to be part of this great experiment and with that decision comes the responsibility of absolute secrecy. No one is to know what you do, where you work, what our research has uncovered, or what our purpose will be. You will have no further contact with your governments or with your families. Your decision to fully dedicate your lives to Group 9-3-5 is absolute. In your lockers you will find your field ops manual which will direct you should our manifesto get compromised. We cannot afford to let this power fall into the wrong hands and therefore the field ops manual should be considered your bible. Make your preparations now.

Dr. Maxis: "Get a hold of yourself and clean that up! Test number 3 unsuccessful, test subject has been reduced to the same state as previous subjects, clean up the test chamber and re-calibrate the system! Let's do it again." Edward: "Yes, Doctor." Radio 7: *Dog barks.* Dr. Maxis: "Edward, tie the damn thing down. We can't have it running around during the test." *Dog whimpers.* Edward: "It's tied down now, Doctor Maxis." Dr. Maxis: "Initiating test number 5. Subject is within the test chamber. Activate power." *Power is activated.* Edward: "Searching for vitals. No reading, Doctor. The subject has... disappeared. Doctor Maxis, we've done it!" Dr. Maxis: "Don't be foolish! Test number five is unsuccessful. Subject has vanished, yes, but has not reappeared at the mainframe. Recalibrate the damn system, no-!" Radio 8: Dr. Maxis: "Initiating test number six. Subject is within test chamber. Activate power." *Power is activated.* Dr. Maxis: "Damn it, Edward! Did you set up the device correctly?!!" Edward: "Yes Doctor. As per your specifications." Dr. Maxis: "If you had done it to my specifications then it would have worked, wouldn't it? As usual, your incompetence has-" (Hellhound spawn noise heard) Dr. Maxis: "What?" Edward: "Do you hear that, Doctor?" Dr. Maxis: "Quiet, you fool! Test number six is a failure, but the experiment has caused some kind of electrical force to energize within the chamber. Well, open the door!" Edward: "Doctor, I don't think..." Dr. Maxis: "Open the door NOW!" *Door opens. Dog growls.* Samantha: "Daddy, what are you doing with Fluffy?" Dr. Maxis: "Damn it, Samantha. I told you never to come in here. Edward, get her out of here." Edward: "Yes, Doctor." *The dog growls and Samantha screams.* Samantha: "What's wrong with her? Daddy, what did you do? Fluffy!" Dr. Maxis: "Come back here! Samantha. Stop her! Easy. Come here, Samantha. Good girl. Gently, Samantha. That's not Fluffy anymore. We must get out of here." *Door closes.* Dr. Maxis: "What? Edward what are you doing? Open the door. Edward, open this door now!!" Samantha: "Dad. I'm scared." Dr. Maxis: "Don't you... Stay by me, Samantha." Edward: "Goodbye, Doctor Maxis." *Power is activated. Edward laughs.* Call of the Dead

"Log Entry: 1471 Date: September 2nd, 1945 Dear diary, Another day, another failure. This time subject N3WB just slightly improved. The Russian subject still smells like urine. Even after he was given a bath and deloused twice. I think I might have killed the specimen from Mexico. His spleen is on the floor and he's not moving anymore. I can verify with certainty that the barrier is not located in the spleen. Dr. Maxis must continue no matter the cost. I wonder what he might think of the experiments on the little girl.

Oh, apparently someone in security found a spy today, they are delivering him from (static), to replace the one that I broke." — Richtofen Radio 3: "Richtofen: Log Entry: 1473 Date: September 17th, 1945. Dear diary, Today- Dempsey: Get your hands off me you damn dirty Nazi! Richtofen: Uh-oh! This doesn't look good... Dempsey: Yeah, that's right, You want some of this? I'm taking you home in bags, freak! (Sounds of Dempsey being beaten are heard.) Richtofen: Nein ('No' in German)! I don't think so, American! Dempsey: Okay, ow! Richtofen: I suppose this must be the replacement then. Time to get to work! Dempsey: I can still hear you! Richtofen: Hit him again with the stick!" Radio 4: "Log Entry: 1474. Date: September 20th, 1945. Dear Diary, It would seem that the OSS realized that we have captured one of their spies. They tried to send a rescue team to Verrückt that was aw- (static) -the first batch of test subjects. I suspect that there are others more in the organization. Dr. Harvey Yena and Dr. Peter McCain to be precise. Dr Maxis (static) doesn't any Americans in Group 935, no matter how much genius they have. Stupid Americans with their apple pies and baseball and children, but I digress. The new American test subject is interesting and muscle-y. His intellect seems low, but his will is strong. Like the others, he doesn't seem to know who he is anymore. Unlike the others, he keeps breaking the restraints and yelling at me. Test subject N3WB is still staring at the floor, muttering what sounds like some kind of proverb over and over again. I think his mind may have been destroyed by the process. Oh well, the Russian subject recently begun responding to stimuli, but only after injecting him with a new serum made primarily from vodka. Perhaps this is a breakthrough in the-" — Richtofen Radio 5: "Log Entry: 1475 Date: October 1st, 1945 Dear diary, (static) As for the control group tests, they have been put on hold. Recently I discovered that Doctor Maxis has not been mass producing the DG-2 as he swore he would. If he won't move those plans forward, then I won't continue following his dream of an undead army! He doesn't deserve his perch of power! He doesn't know what to do with it, but I know just what to do with him... and I'll take care of that little brat when I get the chance too..." — Richtofen MoonRadio 1:
Edward Richtofen: "Log entry 38. Date: December 4, 1939. The matter transferrance prototype is prepared for test run number 151. We have now reduced our test subject's mass to prove that this is possible. Dr. Schuster, please give an overview." Dr. Schuster: "Yes, Dr. Richtofen. We have the new test subject, a walnut, weighing in at 10 grams. The target platform is now at three feet with no obstructions. We have one microgram of the element which, according to our calculations, will be entirely used up during tests." Edward Richtofen: "Excellent, Dr. Schuster. Commence test number 151." Dr. Schuster: "Yes, Doctor, er, please insert your earplugs." (Buzzing, whizzing, clanging, and propelling are heard) Dr. Schuster: "Good God! We've done it! We have powered up the prototype, and it moved a walnut directly from the prototype device into the receiving device. It moved instantly. It... it...." Edward Richtofen: "...teleported..Get me Dr. Maxis immediately! Radio 2: Ludwig Maxis: "But this is not the crucial experiment that you were supposed to be working on..." Edward Richtofen: "With all due respect, Doctor Maxis, this is a breakthrough of unimaginable proportions." Ludwig Maxis: (Sarcastically) "What? That you moved a walnut a few feet? Yes, Edward, we will improve the human condition by revolutionizing the walnut industry. I can see it now: 'Edward's Walnut Delivery.'" Edward Richtofen: "Don't be obtuse." Ludwig Maxis: (Angrily) "How DARE you call me that! We are at war, Edward! (slightly calmer) I will admit that there is promise here, but until this war is won..." Edward Richtofen: "Correct me if I'm wrong, Doctor Maxis, but Group 935 is a research organization. What was the motto? 'To improve the human condition.' What business of ours is this war?" Ludwig Maxis: (In a defeated voice) "Fine, Doctor Richtofen, I will let you in on a little administrative secret: we are finalizing a deal with the Nazi party. We need funding, we need equipment, they need new weapons. Chances are this war will end soon with a treaty or two and we will be in a much better position to help the world." Edward Richtofen: "Are you certain this won't cause massive defections? We have scientists from all over the world working with us." Ludwig Maxis: "That is why it is with the utmost confidence that I share this with YOU. No one will know of this. This is simply the breaking of an egg to make an omelette." Edward Richtofen: "Think of the tactical advantage we will have..." Ludwig Maxis: "Think of the cost, think of the time! We can provide the Nazis tactical expertise in various areas without putting all our eggs in your (angrily) walnut basket. Good day, Edward, and get back to your real work." *Feet hitting the ground and a door slamming can be heard* Edward Richtofen: "What a jerk. I think Doctor Maxis has lost his perspective. No matter... we will do this on our own and publish the findings before he has a chance to..." Dr. Schuster: "You're not suggesting that Dr. Maxis would steal this technology and perfect it without us, are you?" Edward Richtofen: "I would by no means discourage that thought. Great scientists must stick together and achieve great science." Radio 3: Edward Richtofen: "Entry 42. Date: January 4th, 1940. Dr. Schuster and I, despite mounting pressure from Dr. Maxis, have continued working on the matter transference prototype. We have made great strides in the last thirty days and are ready for our first human subject. If our calculations are correct, we will send a test subject to the receptacle station sitting thirty yards away and behind a cinder-block wall." Dr. Schuster: "Are you certain you want to do this, Dr. Richtofen?" Edward Richtofen: "Nein, Dr. Schuster, this must be done. Quickly, put in your earplugs and power up the machine." (Teleporting noise is heard) Edward Richtofen: "Is there a power outage? Why is it so dark? I feel almost... weightless. How very unexpected. Dr. Schuster? Hello?" (Clicking can be heard) Edward Richtofen: "Ah, I can see now. Oh my god. I am standing in a circular cave, surrounded by some kind of machine like, it's like nothing I've ever seen before. It looks almost alien in nature. There's a pyramid structure at the center of the room. I'm going to try and carefully touch it." (Shock is heard as Richtofen touches it) Edward Richtofen: "Ahhh! Static electricity. It's sharp to the touch. Very cold. Not a speck of dust." (Richtofen bangs on it) Edward Richtofen: "Hmm, might be hollow. The chamber's quite large. I see what looks like capacitors at the ceiling of the chamber. There are no obvious connections to anything electrical. What is this place? Dr. Schuster, is that you? Dr. Schuster! Look at this. It appears to be covered in some kind of hieroglyphic language. I've not seen anything like it before. Why are you whispering to me? There's no need for that." (Odd noise is heard) Edward Richtofen: "Was ist los? (German for "what's the matter?") Do you hear that? It sounds like..." (Loud static and noise is heard) Edward Richtofen: "My god, what happened? I seem to be in some kind of jungle. I can't be certain of where I am." (Jungle noises are heard) Edward Richtofen: "Oh no!" Radio 4: Dr. Schuster: "Log Entry 43. Date: January 23rd, 1940. I cannot be certain what happened to Dr. Richtofen. Once the test was commenced, he just disappeared from the machine into thin air. I have searched the area for days and have no evidence that he is anywhere. I am afraid I might have to scrap the-" (Banging is heard) Edward Richtofen: "Don't stop anything. We have done something, something wondrous. Shhh. Do you hear them?" Dr. Schuster: "Dr. Richtofen, you're alive!" Edward Richtofen: "I'm more than alive, Mr. Schuster. Is the device still intact?" Dr. Schuster: "Yes, but, what happened to you?" Edward Richtofen: "Aaah, something wunderbar (wonderful)! That chamber was incredible, the wonders we could learn!" Dr. Schuster: "What are you talking about? Are you alright?" Edward Richtofen: "Get in the matter transference prototype, Dr. Schuster. We have work to-" Radio 5: Dr. Richtofen: "Gentlemen, for two long years we have toiled here and at Eagle's Nest to build up fortifications. For two long years we have taken equipment to build up our labs. For two long years we have worked under Group 935, believing that Dr. Maxis truly wants to help the world. For two long years we've led a double life. Today, that all ends." (Inaudible conversing is heard from crowd and continues through Richtofen's speaking.) Dr. Richtofen: "I bring to you what this project is all about. What I have worked to keep from my enemy." Dr. Groph: "What is it Dr. Richtofen? It looks alien." Dr. Richtofen: "It is an ancient vril machine. And you, Dr. Groph, are now the lead scientist here at Griffin Station. (Applause for Dr. Groph is heard.) You will be the one to discover how it works. (Applause ends.)" Dr. Groph: "We first must discover what it does." Dr. Richtofen: "Nein, Dr. Groph, I know what it does. It is a direct connection to another dimension. (Crowd begins conversing again.)" Dr. Groph: "Preposterous!" Dr. Richtofen: "No more preposterous than teleporting all of you to the moon and building Griffin Station is it?" Dr. Groph: "I suppose not, how do you know what it does?" Dr. Richtofen: "I found many interesting vril artifacts here. I have decoded some of their language, all signs point to this device being a stable gateway to the Aether." (Loud conversing again) Dr. Schuster: "Dr. Richtofen, I am aware of a project being run by Dr. Maxis at Der Riese concerning vril." Dr. Richtofen: "As am I. I am going back to my port at Group 935 to continue the charade. I will be finding out just how much information Dr. Maxis has on vril. Once the machine is operational, I will enact my plan and return. Gentlemen, let the games begin." (Applause is heard.) Dr. Richtofen: "Shhhh, the voices are so loud!" Radio 6: Dr. Groph: (Static) "Log, 1075. Dr. Schuster and I have spent countless hours with the pyramid device in an attempt to understand how it functions. We have made little progress...until now. Today we uncovered what looks to be some kind of tank with a glass like front. The glass itself seems-" Dr. Schuster: "I've got you now, rat!" Dr. Groph: "Kill it, Schuster!" (Squishing sound followed by a whooshing sound) Dr. Schuster: "Did you see that?" Dr. Groph: "Look! The capacitor is illuminated, the tank is filling-" Dr. Schuster: "The machine. It seems to be activated! What did you do?" Dr. Groph: "I think we just discovered what powers this machine." (Static) Radio 7: Edward Richtofen: (Static)"(Gri)-ffin station. This is Eagle’s Nest. Status update. Over." Dr. Groph: "Hello, Doctor. We have the shipment, and are carrying out your orders." (Gunshot, grunting, and a whooshing sound are heard) Dr. Groph: “It is grim work, Doctor.” Edward Richtofen: “All in the name of science, Dr. Groph. Continue until the tanks are full." Dr. Groph: “Yes... Doctor.” (Gunshot, grunting and a whooshing sound are heard) Dr. Groph: “May God have mercy on us all.” (Static) Radio 8: Dr. Groph: (Static) “Eagle’s Nest. This is Griffin Station. We have an update. Over.” Edward Richtofen: “Dr. Groph, have you made any progress?” Dr. Groph: “Yes Doctor. The machine is ready and awaiting the conduit.” Edward Richtofen: “(Laughing) Very good, I will proceed with Operation Shield and join you shortly.” Dr. Groph: “Security Protocol 935." Edward Richtofen: "Yes, I will dispose of Dr. Maxis and that little brat personally. Do not. Touch. Anyth-” (Static) Radio 9: Dr. Groph: (Static) “-tor Schuster, Report.” Dr. Schuster: “The tanks are full and the shields are down. The machine is humming nicely.” Dr. Groph: “Good, but what of the shipment?” Dr. Schuster: “Most are buried outside of the base, the live ones we’ve sent back to Kustover Posten.” Dr. Groph: “Excellent, then there is nothing left but to wait for Dr. Richtofen’s return.” Dr. Schuster: “Perhaps this is a good time to work on my low gravity putty in the bio-dome.” Dr. Groph: “Yes, I did believe that time-” (Alarm sounds “Intruder Detected - Receiving Bay”) Dr. Groph: “Security, Report.” (Static) Dr. Groph: “Can you repeat?” Dr. Schuster: “She’s coming right towards the-” (Samantha's scream heard) Dr. Groph: "Get her!" Dr. Schuster: “Get back here!” (Samantha's scream retreating, running footsteps heard) Dr. Groph: “Nein! Do not let her-” (A loud bang, smashing glass and hissing gas is heard) Dr. Groph: “Dammit, Dr Schuster, find a way to get her out of the pyramid. I will contact Edward, let him know there’s been an incident-” (Static) Radio 10: Edward Richtofen: (Static) “How did she end up there? No matter, I know what must be done. In the meantime see if you can find Dr. Maxis, perhaps he can talk some sense into her.” Dr. Groph: “Did you not deal with him already?” Edward Richtofen: “Yes, but if the child ended up here, then Maxis must be somewhere too. Find him.” Dr. Groph: “How do you propose-” Edward Richtofen: “Dr Groph I cannot do everything for you. I leave this in your capable hands. There is much to be done.” Dr. Groph: “Yes, Doctor.” Edward Richtofen: “Oh and Groph?” Dr. Groph: “Yes?” Edward Richtofen: "I'd keep an eye out for an evil looking dog while you're at it.” (Static) Radio 11: Dr. Groph: (Static) “Hope this works. Schuster, power it up.” (Hissing gas and a loud bang are heard) Computerized voice: “Systems Nominal. Accessing Vril Device. Interface via M.P.D. active. Accessing M.P.D.. M.P.D. integrity check nominal. Awaiting input.” Dr. Groph: “Excellent, bring the sample.” (Loud bangs heard) Computerized voice: “Analyzing M.P.D.. Creating profile.” (Buzzing noise) Computerized voice: “Profile Created.” Dr. Groph “Excellent. Now, scan for target.” Dr. Schuster: “Yes, Doctor.” (Gas hissing and bangs are heard once again) Computerized voice: “Target located.” Dr. Groph: “Bring him here, immediately.” (Gas hissing and bangs are heard followed by the sound of a teleporter. The thumping of someone landing is heard afterwards) Dr. Schuster: "Greetings, Dr. Maxis." Ludvig Maxis: “Schuster! I should’ve known. Where is that rat Edward? Where are we? And how did you get me out of that wretched tunnel-” Dr. Groph: “None of that is important right now. Allow me to fill you in.” (Static) Ludvig Maxis: "Samantha, honey? Daddy is here. Come dear, please. Open the machine. Daddy will not let them hurt you anymore. Honey? Daddy knows he’s made some mistakes, I am truly sorry that you were put through so much. When your mother died, I could not bear the thought of losing you too, that’s why I kept you so close. I did not mean to neglect you, I just wanted to know you were safe from harm-” (Hissing gas, Samantha is heard crying.) Samantha Maxis: “Daddy!” Ludvig Maxis: “I love you, Samantha.” Samantha Maxis: (Sobbing) “I love you too, Daddy.” Ludvig Maxis: “Can you do something for me? Something very important.” Samantha Maxis: “Yes?” Ludvig Maxis: “Kill them... all.” (A gunshot is heard.) Ludvig Maxis: “No!” (Gas hisses and Samantha laughs.)
