Towering evergreens claw at the sky, framing the anomaly nestled in their midst – Scotland, Washington. Wedged between Bremerton and Poulsbo, the town breathes in the scent of saltwater and the rhythmic pounding of distant drills. Whispers of classified Navy projects hang heavy in the air, mingling with the tang of sea salt, hinting at secrets buried beneath the surface. A single road cuts through the dense forest, a lifeline snaking through whispers of ancient mysteries and chilling tales carried on the wind. In Scotland, WA, the extraordinary bleeds seamlessly into the ordinary. Every shadow seems to hold a story, waiting for a curious soul to unearth it.
BlueHand Corporation
Since the 1920s, BlueHand Corporation has quietly established itself as a dominant force in the town. Its reach extends far beyond what's visible, supplying the military, funding research in tech, medicine, and even esoteric fields like advanced physics, quantum mechanics, and artificial intelligence. But beneath this veneer of progress lies a shrouded purpose. No one knows BlueHand's true mission, but suspicion has driven Jackson and Jiro to dedicate their youth to uncovering the corporation's dark secrets.

Haunted by his missing father, he embarks on a relentless quest, determined to unearth the truth, no matter how painful it might be. Will Jackson solve the biggest mystery of his life?
The Weirdness of Scotland
Scotland, Washington is a place where the veil between reality and the strange seems to be perpetually thin. The town simmers with a unique energy fueled by a confluence of factors. The Navy conducts shadowy experiments, whispers surround "accidental mishaps" at BlueHand's clandestine labs, and Scotland University nurtures a population of hyper-intelligent students. The town acts as a magnet, drawing the greatest minds from across the globe – a perfect recipe for what locals have affectionately dubbed "The Weirdness." But the strangeness goes deeper. Ancient groups stake their claim on the town's scattered Native American ruins, while whispers of secret societies – vampires, werewolves, and even immortals – add another layer to the town's mystique. In Scotland, Washington, "The Weirdness" isn't just a quirk; it's the very essence of the place.
Project Zia
From the shrouded deserts of New Mexico emerges a clandestine unit – a shadow organization tasked with a singular purpose: the capture and containment of the extraordinary. Their origins are as shrouded as the technology they wield. Colonel Stone, an enigma himself, leads this ruthless band with an iron fist. But what truly fuels their relentless pursuit? Are they guardians or hunters? One thing is certain: when they set their sights on something, blood may well be spilled.
Whispering Loch Naval Base
Nestled amidst the towering pines and misty fjords of the Pacific Northwest, just beyond the quaint town of Scotland, WA, lies a hidden enclave of naval power: Whispering Loch Naval Base. Its name, a stark contrast to the serene lake it overlooks, hints at the dark secrets it harbors. Founded decades ago under the guise of a top-secret research facility, Whispering Loch has evolved into a clandestine military installation. Its true purpose, known only to a select few, lies in the development of advanced, experimental weaponry. The base is a hive of activity, with scientists, engineers, and elite military personnel working tirelessly to push the boundaries of technology. At the heart of Whispering Loch's operations is a shadowy corporation known as BlueHand. This enigmatic entity, with its headquarters shrouded in secrecy, has a deep-rooted connection to the base. BlueHand provides funding, resources, and even personnel to the naval facility, ensuring its continued existence and expansion. The town of Scotland has long been affected by the presence of Whispering Loch. The base has cast a long shadow over the community, influencing everything from local politics to the mysterious disappearances that have plagued the area. The residents, unaware of the true nature of the base, often attribute the strange occurrences to the supernatural or simply chalk them up to small-town life. But beneath the placid surface of Whispering Loch, a sinister plot is unfolding. The experiments conducted within the base's walls have led to unforeseen consequences. Strange phenomena, ranging from unexplainable disappearances to eerie lights in the sky, have become a common occurrence. The town of Scotland, once a peaceful haven, is now haunted by the whispers of a secret that threatens to consume it.
