War
Hold the Line; Somebody has To: The Filth is attacking humanity throughout the world. Many small towns have become ghost towns as their population becomes foot soldiers for the Filth. Ships are going missing. Venice itself is being attacked by sea in the night. Somewhere in the depths of Agartha the Dark Agartha timeline is bleeding through to our reality, and unless someone does something drastic, it won't be long before we find ourselves with a new Whispering Tide.The Prayer of the Refugee: Every town that gets attacked creates a new population of refugees. Every ship full of cargo that goes down leads to scarcity elsewhere in the world. Every government that closes its borders and turns its eyes inward is another obstacle in the unending job of caring for the survivors. Won't somebody please think of the children?Investigation
Tell Me All Your Thoughts on God: "The Four and Sixty" are Gaia's engines and harmonizers. What connection does this have to "The Eight" of the Host? Why is Gaia called "The Immaculate Machine?"The Names of the Fallen: It's not just "mundanes" who are going missing. Every day, another Beekeeper goes out and doesn't come home. The Black Signal is in your Twitter feed, gathering intelligence, planning, targeting. Is there a pattern? Is there a way to fight back against John in his own domain? Hackers and gumshoes apply within.The Reappearance of Tyler Freeborn: Thanks to information gathered during Operation Squidward Heist, it has been determined that the man once known as Tyler Freeborn is no more. He is now an eldritch entity of the Sargasso Sea, and is controlling the draug on Solomon Island. For the moment, Freeborn appears to be keeping the draug on the island, rather than having them expand outward or attempt to attack and seize other territory. It is unknown as to why this might be, given the aggressive nature of Filth and Filth related assets elsewhere around the globe but likely ought to be investigated further.The Man with the Quantum Brace: Sebastian Veil, former Dragon researcher. He believed that after the defeat of the Dreamers, Beekeepers themselves would become the next great threat to humanity. And thus he began studying ways to kill a Beekeeper using ZPP. Six years ago, he vanished without explanation. Last month, he reappeared in a LiveStream where he attempted to murder Marcus Riese. Where is he now? And if the rumors about his time travel are to be believed, why is he now?Hail Mary
Gentlemen, Start Your Engines: If Mark's plan—the one that got him attacked by a previously unknown Filth Persona and turned what had been a cold, silent war into a hot, bloody one—is right, tuning the engines should save the world. But there are sixty of them, and it's hard work. Someone has to keep an eye on the prize and keep checking these engines off the list.The Tetrahedron: Sixty engines and four harmonizers. The Dreaming Prison in the South Pole is one. Stonehenge is another. What other important Secret World sites lie along the 51st parallel?
