Well it certainly sounds exciting but just like expressnova I would like some subtitles. In my case because I can't make out what the heck he is saying.
Nice job. Is it possible to get the text? That way, I'll translate it in French and make my players read it. Just to get the perfume before their first scenario.
@expressnova The text is an extract from one of The Laundry Files novels:
"What it's about, when you get down to it, is this. Our appalling vulnerability, collectively, before the onslaught of beings we can barely comprehend. A lesser one, not even one of the Great Old Ones, would be enough to devastate a city; we play under the shadow of forces so sinister that a momentary relaxation of vigilance would see all that is human blotted out."
@expressnova con'td from previous reply: "I can go back to London, and they will let me go back to my desk and my stuffy cubicle and my job fixing broken office machines. No recriminations, just a job for life and a pension in thirty five years time in return for a promise of silence to the grave. Or I can go back to the office in the village and sign the piece of paper that says they can do whatever they like with me. "
@expressnova Continues: "Unthanked, possibly fatal service, anywhere in the world: called on to do things which may well be repugnant, and which I will never be able to talk about. Maybe no pension at all, just an unmarked grave in some isolated defile on a central Asian plateau, or a sock shod foot washed up, unaccompanied on a pacific beach one morning while the crabs dine heavy. Nobody ever volunteered for field ops because of the pay and conditions. On the other hand..."
"I look at the starfish thing and see eyes, human eyes, with worms moving inside them, and I realise there is no choice. Really, there never was a choice."
