It’s 2005, a retired colleague turned small town sheriff gives the agents a call: Chuck Eagle. He’s calling in a favor as he fears his daughter Nella has been taken in with a family who may be Drug Dealers. Unfortunately between his own closeness to the situation and a series of killings near his town that is sparking tension and worry, he can’t focus on his Daughter’s situation. His gut is saying something’s rotten here and asking the crew to come out to rainy Sporks, Washington for one last favor. Remember, Helsinki.

As dawn breaks across the city of Eversink, a group of adventurers sit gathered in their favorite tavern. The calm is soon interrupted when the proprietor approaches them carrying a sheet-wrapped figure. As he lifts the sheet up, the adventurers are struck silent, where a face should be is only a blank space with two slits for a nose. “She needs help” urges the proprietor.

Following the successful resolution of the woolly mammoth incident in 1945 New Mexico, TimeWatch agents have uncovered a far more severe temporal anomaly. Intelligence reports confirm that “the Gadget”, a crucial prototype nuclear device from the Manhattan Project, has been stolen from its original timeline. With the integrity of the true timeline at stake, TimeWatch agents must venture to the future and uncover the stolen bomb.

Adam – Gamemaster
Aaron – Rick Baker  – A hard-boiled detective from the 1970s, bringing grit and disdain for his Russian counterpart. 
Ethan  – Albert –  A highly intelligent silverback gorilla, the product of advanced experimentation in an alternate 1985 Soviet Union
Joe – Thorfan Regalio – sophisticated “agent of removal” (assassin) from the 31st century.

“The Gadget” is a scenario from the “Behind Enemy Times” campaign. While our initial intention was to complete the entire campaign, scheduling circumstances led us to focus solely on this standalone episode.
