FILE NO. TF-01/0000CLEARANCE: OMEGATop secret
  1. Ancient astronauts

    Long ago the Visitors came down from the sky and taught people to cut stone. Megaliths, T-pillars, moai and stone spheres are their survey markers, joined by ley lines that still carry a faint green signal.

  2. Atlantis

    Their sea city sank. Its marble and its blue-black sea-stone wash up wherever the land folds.

  3. The folds

    When they left, they folded the land to hide their sites. That is why plateaus with waterfalls sit in the middle of ordinary country, and why our base stands on one.

  4. Out-of-place artifacts

    Gears older than history. Clay batteries. A crystal skull. Some of them still work.

  5. The cover-up

    A nameless agency found it all, built hangars and antenna fields on top, and labelled everything weather balloon. Their alloy, catwalks and filing cabinets are half of the palette.

  6. The sky

    Lights-only flybys. Crop circles overnight. A black satellite in orbit that is older than spaceflight. A moon that is a little too round.

  7. The cryptids

    They are not hiding from you. They are hiding from the agency.

  8. The mountain

    The highest peak near spawn has a mural. The mural is a map. The map is a puzzle with conditions: a place, a time, and a hat.

  9. The hat

    The only reliable protection is a hat made of tinfoil. Wear it when it matters.

  10. The Founders

    Giants stood on the Ancient Islands before history began. Their colossi look exactly like the players of this server. Coincidence?

Tone: playful mystery, not paranoia. Real myths, our own names and art. Nothing here is about real people or groups.
