Two days ago, the population of the town of Sharknest apparently vanished into thin air. Everything living animal within 10 km of the post office apppears to have simply disappeared. 1,200 people have vanished, leaving no trace of what happened to them. The Democratic Republic of New North Balwyn would welcome any information or aid on finding information about what has happened to these citizens.

Did radar detect any anomalous objects near the town on the night in question? (UFOs?)

Hmmm, I recall reading about an experiment performed by one- Dr. Kirk. The name of the project was '3rd energy' it was an effort to find an alternate source of power. After a tragic accident the project was terminated and Dr. Kirk was taken into custody.

The result of that accident created a time portal which lifted an entire city, and a neighboring military base into the Jurassic Dinosaur age. There were no survivors except for 1 member of a 3 man team that was sent through the portal to rescue the citizens.


(the above is the storyline for the 'Dino Crises' series of video games)

Does your country have any ties to this 3rd energy experiment?

No, we did not detect anything on radar, nor did we have any links to the 3rd Energy Project. However, it appears that compasses within 400 km of Sharksnest started spinning madly at 6:32 am and stopped and 6:34 am. Also, 14 people from the town of Western Cove, just along the coast, reported seeing a line of white light stream west at 6:33 am, and then east at 6:35.

Also, Sharksnest was built on the site of an Old North Balwynese village that existed from 500 BCE to 400 CE, and was an archaelogical treasure house during the 19th century. Now, or at least recently, it was known as a great surf spot.

UFO enthusiasts, Pyramidologists and Freakanists from all over New North Balwyn have flocked to Sharksnest, forcing us to deploy an Army unit to seal of Sharksnest.

I really think you should investigate my theory about 3rd energy. Many witnesses describe seeing the exact same light when it happened to them.

Do you have any more information about this "3rd energy" project or those involved?

Also, if anyone has any sattelite pictures of the region from the period 6:20 am to 6:40 am, we would greatly appreciate receiving them.

Check out the 2 Dino Crisis games and it'll fill you in, both are extremely great, but very violent.

Investigators have discovered a large amount of radio equipment arranged in a strange fashion in the basement of one Arthur J. Nelson. 6 ham radios were arranged in a circle. In the centre was an unopened envelope from the "Mars-Draconian Energy Coporation". The envelope was filled with paper ashes, as if the paper had been burnt inside the envelope, but the envelope was apparently untouched. Information suggests that the envelope was in the Sharksnest Post Office at 6:30 am.

This incident firmly reminds many of the scientists at our labs of the first test into subspace mechanics. Many of the Scientists suggesting chenking the graviton fireld around the area or looking at recorded levels. The cuase of this may have been a tear in the fabric of space, either naturally cuased or cuased by an exponentale amount of energy anf/or antimatter/dark energy in one spot. As for the letter containing the white power and the ham radios, our scientists have no clue about the envelope, but the ham radios could have been used to creat several fields of electromegnetic energy, which can aid in the control of subspace incursions.

Further investigation has revealed that Mr. Nelson apparently had Nazi sympathies. A large amount of history books about Germany during the 1920s and 30s were found in his bookcases, as well as books on modern military technology. Checking his credit card account, we discovered a large amount of purchases(63) from Amazon.com about military technology, including a book of specifications for 60s jet aircraft. Only 7 of the books were accounted for in his library. Also, he purchased a book by Dr. Edwin Kiriku about subspace, and a large number of time-travel novels. Other purchases included several firearms, none of which were found at his house, though their packaging was.

Investigators have also found no trace of any "Mars-Draconian Energy Corporation" in New North Balwyn.

OOC: NNB are your modern tech or future tech, or somewhere in between tech?


IC: The evidence you have presented seems very unsettling. On that mans credit card, did he purchase any of the following: Any type of praticle acceletor, and magnetic field generators, any extremely powerful radio emitters, and any massive super computers?

OOC: Modern Tech

IC: Well, he did purchase the 6 Ham radios three months ago, and another 5 four months before that. Incidentally, their was a power blackout five months earlier. He also purchased a top of the line laptop (not found) and 4 electromagnetic floating globe desk toys(also not found). He also bought 6 months worth of batteries for the laptop.

I would suggest you investigate al purchases of the last mantioned things of my last post. With the materials that were puchased off the mans credit card there is no way to produce a subspace incursion without a massive power surge. If a certain amoutn of power is transmitted by the ham radios it might be possibel to create a dense feidl of gravity and possibly collapse part of space, thus creating a hole in supspace. But without the proper equipment this hole they may have generated would have tranported them into some other dimension and it would be impossible that they could travel in time, it would be more likely that they jsut were"teleported" out in space somewhere.

Well suppose your theory about time travel is true, what steps could be taken to insure that he does no harm?

A small contigent of Pyramidologists managed to break through the Army's perimeter yesterday, and start laying glass pyramids all over the place. However, they were extremely suprised when at 1:05 pm, the glass pyramids started to glow, then shattered. The same thing happened to random glass objects all over Sharksnest. One of our investigators in the Nelson residence reports hearing a humming from the basement. He then proceeded to walk down to the basement, where all the Ham radios had been switched on. The concrete floor in the centre of the the circle distorted, with "waves" emanating out of the centre. He immediately pulled the power, and the concrete returned to its normal state. Later study of a piece of the concrete indicated that it had been exposed to incredible spacial distortion.

The Pyramidologists are being held in custody and will likely stay in prison for the next 2 months.

Another fact is that our researchers also say that a subspace inversion like the one that seems to be indicated by the evidence would not generate a flash of light like the one seen by resident of Western Cove.

Also, we have discovered the location of a Mars-Draconian Energy Corporation registered as having a head office in a small room in New York, USA, but "diplomatic agents" dispatched to the scene did not find anything in the office at all. Nothing whatsoever. It was like every speck of dust in the entire room had been destroyed. The manager of the building said that three men had worked in the office for the past 7 months, but had not come into the building since the day of the Event.

Our government is currently working on a secret project to be able to draw energy from portals to our power stations did the citizens feel like they were slowly gaining headaches if so it could be possible that they were lost in a portal and absorbed into it because of the energies harvesting power from it.

With the current evidnece that is set, it is possible that there was a subspace incursion that took place. Many of our scientists believe that there was infact a subspace protal opened, but the means to control and regualte one wiht the equipment that was found is imposible. As for the company that was linked to these misterious vanishings, it seems there is more than one office. Yesterday in Ardor a raid at an office building took place where members of a spec ops team raided a small companyies headquarters of the same name. In the room there were 4 Sony X-8 Cell super computers. As investigators searched through the computers it seams there were over 5 billion astronomical, wave mechanics and Astro physics equations being done. As for things that could be done if time travel was achieved, well there is nothing that we could do besides receating the exact same portal with the exact same equipment in the same spot and under the same astrological conditions and then send a team through to see where, if they did infact purposely go.
