"Because even if the whole world refuses to see the giants, someone has to actually step up and charge them."
-Sir Pendragon, founder. The year is 1951. The korean war rages on. The cold war between the West and the Soviet union is getting colder by the year. And amids all the turmoil, things have started to go bump in the night. People go missing in eastern europe. Cattle gets massacred in mexico. The dead walk the earth. But the world isn't ready for news like that, it never was. So you tell them that organ thieves plague Eastern Europe. That it was nothing but rival farmers having a feud. Swamp gas. Hell, they'll believe anything if it helps them sleep at night.
But not you. You have been chosen to join the Quixote Organisation. An international and unofficial group that gets to investigate and silence everything that normal people don't want to see. Operating from an off the grid base in Switzerland, these brave men and women keep the world safe from things have no place existing in the first place. So whenever strange lights shine in the sky, when grandma won't stay in her coffin, when things go bump in the night...you'll know who to call.

January 26, 1951
You find yourself in a small conference room with three other new hires. You're seated at a large metal table, with the white styrofoam cup containing the horrid coffee they gave you when you arrived sitting in front of you. You're glad they didn't ask you to remove your coat, because the room is uncomfortably cold.
James, the british guy who welcomed you off the bus earlier, comes in with a large manila folder under his arm.
"All right people, let's get to business, shall we? I've got your first assignment here already. Seems like whole villages have been going missing in South-America." He looks up for the first time since entering, looking at the people seated at the table.
"Ah, you're the newcomers. I suppose I'm getting ahead of myself. Seeing as you're all new, how about we introduce ourselves first?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
