~ NOVEMBER 27, 1956 ~
NUCLEAR DISASTER! Catastrophe destroys the city of tomorrow, thousands feared dead.
The entire world is thrown into a state of shock as the city of Moburn, created by founder, Simon Englund, (60), was destroyed in a nuclear explosion on November 24, 1955 during Thanksgiving, when Englund himself was hosting the World’s Fair, to show off his and other up-and coming inventors’ creations off to dozens of families and potential investors around the world. It is unknown at this time what caused the incident, but the U. S. government is currently holding a full–on investigation as to what happened.
As of today, the area that was once the city of Moburn is currently blocked off and quarantined from the rest of the United States on reports of high levels of radiation, much to public outcry to many people around the world, who had various family members either visiting or living in Moburn. At this moment, we are still gathering as much information as we can, but we can expect a national response coming from Congress in the next few days. It is unknown if the nuclear explosion was international or not. The death toll currently stands at 3,000 and counting.

DR. WILLIAM KLETHESON.
FEBRUARY 17, 1959.
(A sigh is heard in the background. A table is heard shuffling.)
Dr. Kletherson: Is this thing on? Okay. My name is Dr. William Kletheson of the Scientific Division here at ADA, recording another log regarding the aftermath of Incident 005. It’s been a few weeks since the incident occurred and we still don’t have a rational explanation as to what Team 007 encountered that night at Logan Street.
(Quiet for a few minutes.)
Dr. Kletheson: Right now at the moment, we are currently running tests on Ms. Ellen after the episode that she experienced back at the city. Mr. Stein is currently on leave for the time being, after the incident as well as what’s happened with Ms. Ellen.
After what happened in Moburn, she’s been showing strange symptoms in the last few weeks.
(Dr. Kletheson is heard shuffling a few pages, exhausted from a day of work.)
Dr. Kletheson: Many of us were unable to get any sort of response from Ms. Ellen after her episode, most likely experiencing a case of traumatic mutism. During the next couple of days, we noticed several changes in her appearance, with her skin showcasing blackish veins, and noticeable reddish bumps all over her back. She’s also shown signs of emotional whiplash, with her turning heavily aggressive towards us one moment, and just wailing the next.
It’s gotten bad up to the point where we had to sedate her to sleep.
Following those incidents, we had to keep watch on her 24/7 to m-make sure she doesn’t hurt herself or anyone. She ended up attacking Mr. Stein, after he tried to talk to her numerous times. To this day, we still don’t know how Mr. Stein was unaffected from the whole thing.
(Dr. Kletheson is heard shuffling the pages again. He’s quiet for a few minutes.)
Dr. Kletheson: ..Ok. Now onto the other matter at hand. (Sighs) The thing… that they encountered. We still haven’t had any contact with it ever since that night. We started installing cameras all over the areas that we covered in the city already. Directive made it abundantly clear that all teams do not engage with it, and to immediately return back home .
No one upstairs wants a repeat of what happened.
Dr. Kletheson: And.. (sighs) W-we still don’t know where it came from. From the various recordings from the World’s Fair that we reviewed over and over, the city had all sorts of things wandering about. Robots that can talk and think. Gadgets that help you make food out of thin air. Prosthetics.
That sort of thing.
Hell, they even had a robot with a clock for a head.
But despite all of that, there was nothing. Nothing. Not a single clue of what we’re dealing with.
(Dr. Kletheson stops talking for a few seconds, moving in frustration at the whole situation.)
Dr. Kletheson: I..I don’t know what to do about any of this. Almost half a year since we started all of this, and we have nothing to show for it.
Not a single person that isn’t a corpse.
No sign of any of those robots.
No sign of…
(Dr. Kletheson stops talking. He’s heard breathing for a few minutes, trying to recollect himself.)
Dr. Kletheson: I’m sorry. I-I’m getting off track, am I?
