Spoiler shield

In 1943, top scientist from around the country receive a mysterious and classified letter, it says "Go to 109 East Palace Avenue, Sante Fe, New Mexico. There you will find out how to complete your trip." Upon arriving they are transported to a lonely mesa, this will be their home for the next two years. Here amongst the sand and rock, cactus and weeds, barracks and shacks, in this primitive place they would change everything, invent new science, win a world war and bring everyone closer to extinction.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
