JOURNAL ENTRY 27
June 24th, 1918
Construction has progressed much farther than I expected. The new pnuematic drills are making work simpler and more efficient. Today we tested out a new shipment of dynomite; one man was injured - But these are not of concern.
The bomb arrived late last night. I cannot be assured if it will work properly or not, but it has been wheeled into it's position in the mine, and will be inspected in there. We'll get the results next week to see if everything is in order.
- Benno Gotthold
Benno laid down his pen and closed his log. He laid his hands behind his heady and leaned back on the creaky, old wooden chair. Suddenly, the door to his office burst open. In walked two guards and the lead foreman of the project.
"Sir! The scientists have found out that the bomb cannot detonate. It has been tampered with."
Benno gasped in horror. Seven months of labour and toil - All to find out that the precious A-Bomb that had taken decades to develop would not work. He lifted himself from the chair and allowed it to collapse to the floor.
"This is an outrage! The govern-"
He was cut off by the yells from the gate guards. Three jeep-like vehicles rolled through the construction yard, gunfire erupting from the machine guns mounted on the back. The government had found them.
"Detonate the emergency charges," Benno began "If we cannot have the bomb, no one will." He dashed out of his office and for his tiny car awaiting him outside.
The tunnels of the "mine" collapsed as the strategically place dynomite detonated. Boulders and rock filled every space inside the mountain, crushing the wooden beams and mining tools inside... Everything, that is, excpet the bomb which lay hundreds of miles away from the actual mountain. In fact, it was directly under Vogelsang, covered with only a few boulders and the massive capitol that stood above it...

The snow fell the the ground slowly and gracefully. Soon roads and lawns were blanketed by frost - Christmas had begun. Children played gleefully in their heavy coats, throwing weak snowballs made most of clumps of grass.
Willi Strausser gazed out of his third floor window of the Kripo building.
"Ah, the glee of childhood.." He said to himself as he buttoned his trenchcoat. Soon he wrapped his neck and chin in a soft fleece scarf and he was out on his way.
"Merry Christmas, Oberleutnant Strausser!" said the janitor who was in the process of scrubbing the marble floor of the lobby.
"Merry Christmas to you too, Herr Schmidt..." Willi said distantly as he opened the door. A gust of cold air swept over him as he stepped outside. Suddenly, a piece of snow pelted his face. The cold object stung as he angrily swept it off his neck and glanced at the laughing children in a nearby park. He had a new case coming up and was not in the mood for playing around - He had a job to do.
An alleged terrorist group had found an ancient A-bomb deep under some government sructure. The path that led to it was a mystery to Willi, and he intended to find it...
OOC: This is a James Bond-esque RP taking place in the 2000's. Do not send some massive government task force to investigate a collapsed mine. More to follow...
