Synopsis

The facility in the mine had a human computer system that consisted of 6 people who are connected to feeding tubes and each other. One of them was the “interface” and was able to answer questions about the Accord and their projects. When we posed as the "Elizabeth Green" accord agent we learned:

  • Their role is "information storage and retrieval"
  • Their long-term objective is to "Improve the mental capacity of humans on earth because technological advancement is necessary."
  • Elizabeth's immediate goal was to upgrade the station using the tool bag of anachronistic tech she was carrying.
  • The Accord have done some genetic engineering on people and have theoretical plans for even more but don’t have the technology to test/implement some of them.
  • Some of this engineering includes a version of the Night Hunter creatures from the future. Possibly also involving using some of the DNA that enables their psychic fear attack to give humans psychic powers?

Patrick underwent surgery to interface directly with the human computer system, he learned a lot but ended with a periodic seizures (moderate consequence). He also had partial success in implanting a suggestion to "leave humans alone" into the computer brainspace.

The facility also contained a large time anchor, capable of transferring more people than the one found in Constantinople as well as a smaller "auxiliary" time anchor.

Decker spent the whole adventure in the facility under the Cornwall mine, mostly trying to wrap his head around the human computer system and the enhanced time anchor. He was actually alone there for a few days while everyone else was back in London. It’s not clear if he learned anything useful.

The large anchor was used to transport someone from the facility in Cornwall to Albert's 21st century body (James McAdams) a few weeks before he arrived in that time and to Patrick's 21st century body (Diego Gonzales) a couple of months before he arrived. There are records of other transfers, but they will take time to decipher.

Once the "interface" learned there was a threat to the facility the traps were activated and could not be disabled without a codeword. These traps banged up Albert pretty badly. He ended the session with a sprained ankle (minor consequence) and a fractured ankle (moderate consequence).

Anne Drake waged a campaign of social attacks against Lord Carlington (Albert) and Rose Carter (Damianus). The adventure ended with both of them in jail for lewdness, prostitution, and similar crimes.

Patrick arranged a parlay with a representative of Anne Drake, but the representative attacked once he confirmed Patrick was working with Decker. He nearly captured Patrick, but the party narrowly rescued him and Albert was arrested as a result.

The group blew up the facility under the Cornwall mine before boomeranging back to the Anchor Ship in the future.

Grisha spent the adventure as young Rebecca Carlington stuck with her mother on holiday originally to protect her since there was a previous attempt to kidnap her and later to keep her away from the influence of her notorious father.
