The Thing That Never Was

[Certified]

Roswell, New Mexico 1947 an unidentified object crashes in the fields of a local farmer. After an investigation the US Government releases a report stating the crash was a downed weather satellite. This has been the birth of countless conspiracy theories on aliens and alien abduction. The truth is of course stranger than fiction.

 

 

 

In July of 1939 a small team of US scientists in Great Falls, Montana decode transmissions from a non-terrestrial source. The transmission contained a single binary string. It took six months of analysis to fully decipher. The string was determined to be a cipher translating a series of sounds into binary. In February 1940 the scientific team responded with a similar code using the modern alphabet.

 

 

 

A second transmission was received nine months later with detailed instructions and design schematics for a powerful light based communications system. The team of scientists spent six months just putting the plans together, another seven before they realized what they had been given. Patterning a single transistor used in the communications array the scientists founded the Atlas Group and secured funding to begin construction of the communication device.

 

 

The project took almost three years during which time no further transmissions were received. Due to a lack of machining technology the final device spanned twenty two hundred square feet and stood over fifteen feet in height. Almost three times the dimensions outlined in the original blue prints.

 

 

 

The Communications Laser, dubbed the Star Window went online in March 1945. It allowed for instant communications between the Atlas scientists and their strange benefactors. As the great video monitor of the Star Window flickered to life those gathered got their first glimpse at alien life.

 

An insect like race, their thin bodies were supported by a dark brown exoskeleton. A pair of long slender arms sat above a smaller set that rested on their chests. Their faces a strange mix of human and insect features, large bulbous black eyes and slender nasal cannel tapered to a narrow segmented jaw. They called themselves the Avr’Dryix and they spoke perfect English.

 

 

 

They spoke of three interstellar empires that spanned hundreds of worlds each locked in conflict with one another. Earth had been spared the destruction of war as it was seen as primitive and insignificant. The Avr’Dryix had once been a peaceful people, they were diplomats and scientists before the war began. To survive they had become little more than weapons manufactures claiming neutrality by selling to all sides. They had been monitoring Earth for nearly a century watching the scientific explosion of the 19th century. They saw in humanity the genetic potential that was unlocked by the Kaiser Box virus and knew it was time to act.

 

Should either the Ryedoom or Zy become aware of mans new found abilities they would quickly become a target. They sent each message as a test to see who if any had the intellect to decipher or understand their transmissions. Now the Avr’Dryix were willing to help. They would send a compilation of scientific research to aid in the advancement of modern technology. This included deploying a battery of five cloaking satellites to obscure the activities on the surface from long range observation.

 

It would take two years before the satellites would arrive. Disguised as long range probes their speed was cut drastically to avoid suspicion. The scientific data was delivered through the Star Window but was not nearly as advanced as the information provided for the communications array itself. With one notable exception, the Avr’Dryix provided multiple genetic research tools and testing equipment schematics. The Atlas scientists were told that as the technology was introduced into society and adapted for human use further transmissions would continue but they could not risk any dramatic departure from the forecasted evolution of events.

 

 

In July 1947 the first of five satellites crashed in Roswell New Mexico. Contained within was technology only the Atlas Group has begun to understand. By the time they arrived at the crash site the US army was already present. Unsure of how to salvage the disaster representatives from the Atlas Group approached General Roger M. Ramey of the Eighth Air Force on site and confided in him the full scope of the situation. The original scientific team who had made contact with the Avr’Dryix was flown to Washington. On July 8th the official report of a downed weather balloon was released. This event has tied the Atlas group and US government together since that time although it was not until 1956 this relationship is publicly acknowledged.

 

 

 

It is believed that over the next six months the US Army and the Atlas Group work in moving the downed satellite to a secured location for further study. Although I have been able to locate supporting evidence and testimony for these events up to the Roswell crash I cannot begin to speculate what has become of the original downed satellite or what technologies are truly human and what is based on the integrated Avr’Dryix science.

So there is some background, I'm getting ready to start work on the Avr’Dryix, Ryedoom and Zy. I have some rough ideas on what these races may look like but I'm still tuning in the details and thought I would cast the suggrestion net.

 

PS: I know some of my players read these boards so this also serves as a bt of forewarning and to make them sweat a little.
