The fictional agency answers to a council of 16 nations, while its director makes the final call on what to say.

Field notes

The interface uses a VGA-style terminal conceit, with navigation for briefings, screens, an archive, theme music, radio, and clearance. Its fictional history stretches beyond the initial Arctic event: the archive describes later sightings, recovered objects, and named agency staff. The page credits Copernicus and NASA sources for globe imagery, while the game itself remains in development.
