On a shadowy evening in London, three cloaked figured
gathered in a hidden Agency to discuss their plans. The Outsider, The Watcher,
and The Illuminati Shadow joined forces to discover, and ultimately defeat, an
unknown Cataclysm sure to poison the world with Evil.
Given no warning, the heroes immediately found Darkness
creeping into the University nearby, unbeknownst to the population of
Westminster, but a sure threat all the same. Unsure how to push back the
roiling wickedness, the trio sought out Cult Activity in the Underground,
seeking clues as to the origins of their plight. After a few horrid hours sneaking silently through the back
alleys of London, the Agents returned to the University to pour over their
findings. As clear as day, the danger facing the city was the result of a Hive
Mind coming to dominate the people of Westminster, then all of the Continent –
then the world.
Though endowed with powers unnatural to normal humans, the
Agents were ultimately incapable of holding back the darkness spreading through
our great city, thanks to the media unwittingly spreading the Hive Mind’s
influence. I’m only allowed to tell you this tale because I gave into the Hive
Mind early – the rest of you weak, struggling humans will be consumed by its
darkness!
