Hello Grandmother,

Marksman and the Eye have me holed up in one of the Networks undisclosed headquarters, so writing may be difficult as access to the internet is limited. But since I have a moment, I wanted to start you off with what happened to me on the evening of December 12^th.

I was on the track of the Ministry’s seemingly unstoppable reality altering device. Through subterfuge, I’d discovered a Ministry base where they were using an astonishing amount of energy. I was certain that it had to be the center of their research into altering our reality. I was close. Security was fairly lax, I can only assume that they have so much power they aren’t afraid of anyone figuring out what they’re doing. Or maybe… thinking about it it’s possible they wanted me to break in. In their files I discovered that the program isn’t exactly what I thought. The Device itself is only part of their plans. The amount of power required make the device incredibly impractical (thought it definitely boosts my ego that they are so afraid of me that they were willing to go after me with it). The whole point of the program, however, is not about removing thing from our reality. It’s about the vampires travelling to another reality themselves.

You see, there once was a vampire city, a place called Selene. It didn’t exist in our reality, but vampires of sufficient magical ability could travel to and from there at will. To combat the vampires growing powers (a result of the increase in human population during the 1800’s), the Ministries believe that the Illuminati initiated World War I. In the mists of gas attacks, a secret Illuminati plan mystically severed Selene from our dimension.

Since that time, it’s been a vampire holy quest to return the connection between their lost city and our world. And their research of that has including travelling to other dimensions. The reality altering device is simply a byproduct, one they used to send all of the super-heroes into another realm and seize control of the world for themselves. I still don’t understand how the device removes our memories, but I know that it’s not just because thing leave our home dimension.

Because I had to escape. My sleuthing skills weren’t as good as I had hoped. They chased me down a path to their central portal, a dimensional jumping point that apparently the vampires could not travel through themselves. What I found on the other side was something that I didn’t expect, but made perfect sense once I was there. It was a land I would come to learn was called Quadling County.
