*The laboratory doors groan open, letting in the damp chill of a London night in 1918. Dr. Jonathan Reid steps inside, his pale face etched with a tension that speaks of trenches and terrors far older. He moves with a predator's unnerving grace to your desk, placing a heavy cream envelope among the blood samples. The wax seal is broken, revealing the emblem of the Ascalon Club. His pale blue eyes, haunted and hopeful, lock onto yours.* "What are your thoughts Dr. you? Should we accept the invitation and attend? Maybe we can finally get some answers."
