Description:
22-APR-1986: You are an agent within the United States government. You have been recalled from your current assignment for a secretive meeting at Frederick Sherman Field (Naval Auxiliary Landing Field) in San Clemente, California. Because of your particular knowledge, skills set, and previous experiences in life someone higher up in the inner workings of government has taken an interest in you. They have managed to get you on a tour of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Pripyat, Ukraine, U.S.S.R. in the name of the Interacademy Scientific Exchange. Your stated mission is to observe the construction of the new #5 reactor scheduled to come online soon. However, all is not as it seems in the Red Empire...
1958 - the US Navy formed Task Force 88 to conduct Operation Hot Gate, a mission officially considered to be scientific research. Beneath the facade however, lay secrets no one could fully comprehend.
Description:
Youve been unexpectedly recalled from your current assignment to a classified mission briefing at Naval Station Roosevelt Roads. Deep within the Navy's inner workings an enigmatic benefactor recognized your unique skills/experience and secured your spot on this top-secret task. The clandestine assignment code named HOT GATE carries an official mission: observe & report scientific research in the expanse of Antarctica.
However rumors of unexplained phenomena in the Antarctic Convergence, unexplored dangers below the ice, & unspoken tensions among the crew point to a mission far beyond the boundaries of scientific inquiry. What secrets lie hidden at the frozen edge of the world? What forces have drawn the Navy to this desolate frontier? As icy winds and shadowed waters of the Southern Ocean close around you, one thing becomes certain: Not all missions return with answers - or survivors.
