Casey

= Casey = For generations, your family have been members of the order of the new dawn. Your society guards the secret truths of how aliens visited the Earth in prehistoric times in the guise of angels. Your father, micronics expert Dr. Hendricks, sought this job with Apex Vector in service of the orders higher purpose. He had been on the trail the lost artifact known as the Hand of the Nephilim. With fingers outstretched, inhumanly long and covered in etchings, the golden hand is said to contain sealed within the mummified hand of an ancient visitor to our planet. According to his sources, it had fallen into the possession of Raleigh Kane. Since his mission began, he has kept you regularly updated through letters.

Although your father has recently been very happy with his work of miniaturizing living creatures, during his time at Apex Vector he has had no success at tracking down the Hand. Dr. Hendricks surmised that Raleigh acquired the hand in order to unlock its mysteries. Raleigh's unwillingness to explain how he developed the initial micronics breakthroughs makes your father suspect he has already begun to glean alien secrets. Yet, neither Raleigh nor any of the other scientists working at the laboratory had any reaction to his oblique hints and references to the Hand. Either he was being too subtle, or they have excellent poker faces.

Your father has observed that lately Raleigh seems especially withdrawn and agitated, and then the air of tension has permeated the Mauch Chunk site. As the party approached, you both began to feel a sense of dread and urgency. He had you added to the guest list in the hopes that you would be able to sneak away from the tour and explore more of the compound. You saw him briefly when you arrived, but then he and the other researchers were called downstairs. He said that he will be right back, and had something to tell you, they've been gone a while now...
