Beneath Montauk...

In pursuit of their estranged former teammate Doctor Jackal, the EIS team of enhanced individuals have followed a trail of clues to the mysterious Montauk Institute on Long Island. The EIS team consists of Alfie Baldrick, the one man rifle section; Mimi Dubois, maîtresse of skills; Madeline Forsyth, the living shadow; and Sven Hyse, the Norwegian shapeshifter.

Long Island, New York, United States of America, October 1949

Having reached the perimeter fence on the east side of the institute, Alfie and Sven settle down in the undergrowth to keep watch while Madeline and I slide in shadow form further into the camp to scout out the area more thoroughly.

We took our time, sliding through the darkness and avoiding sentries, but we did discover three underground bunkers as well as a concrete tower that we could not gain access to as it seemed to be hermetically sealed. We pushed on into what looked like an administration building and started the process of searching it, but Madeline realised that it was starting to get light before we could discover anything of interest and so we retreated back to the rest of the team and sneaked back to the car under the cover of darkness. Alfie drove us back to our motel and as the sun rose over the Atlantic Ocean we settled down to sleep.

We slept in late and after a high calorie brunch Sven transformed into a seagull and flew back to the Montauk Institute to slake his curiosity. And that is when he discovered our next lead. He had been observing the bunkers for an hour but was satisfied that they had clearly been mothballed. The same could be said for the empty gun batteries so he moved on towards the transmitter building set alone in the woods. Sven was sure that based on what they were wearing, those entering the single storey building were all scientists, but more curiously, far more people were entering the building than could comfortably be accommodated within.

Sven flapped over to have a closer look and noticed a familiar looking mechanical structure on the roof of the building. The small transmitter building had an elevator installed, and next to it was a maintenance hatch. Sven flew back to the motel and informed the rest of us what he had discovered and we agreed that Madeline and I would head back in that night for a closer look.

Under the cover of darkness we slid onto the base and in through the maintenance hatch. The pair of shadows slipped down the elevator shaft and discovered that it serviced four basement floors, but the shaft continued to descend. We carried on down the shaft for another two hundred feet before it came to an end at a fifth deeply buried level.

Clinging to the wall of the elevator shaft, deep beneath the Montauk Institute, I pushed out with my senses and was somewhat shocked when I discovered eight enhanced were within range. With one of those being Madeline that meant that we had seven unknown enhanced to deal with. I whispered this to Madeline and she looked at me and said;

What do we do now?
