from the journals of Timothy Ekloff

When I began investigating TemCo, I had no idea what I would find. I have seen all kinds of crime and cruelty in my time with the CIA but nothing that compares to the apocalyptic conspiracy I have discovered.

It was the money laundering that first caught my attention. But then I saw that many of the funds were going to the same place -- some mystery project in Tibet. Why Tibet? There is nothing in Tibet. No corporations, little organized crime, nothing but simple villagers and Chinese oppression. What could they possibly be working on in the Himalayas? I had to find out.

I could never report what I found, even if I dared show my face in public. I could never go on record ranting about underground cities or a machine as big as a house. If I told about the ... people? ... I saw there, I would be locked up. And if I said that their plan would kill us all, I would be branded a paranoid of phenomenal proportions.

No, if I'm going to stop them, I'll have to do it myself. I'll track down Zane. He'll know where I can get some hardware and support personnel.
