The Story
In downtown Chattanooga, you arrive at the study of your late uncle, Nickolia 'Nicky' Vandershaff, with more questions than answers. He was a scientist, intensely private, deeply devoted to his work, and suddenly declared dead after a fire tore through the downtown lab building owned by his employer. The authorities identified the remains. The family was told the matter was finished. But the timing, the silence before his death, and the rumors surrounding his work made the whole story feel wrong from the start.
Then an old postcard appeared - nearly twenty years late - warning the family that if anything ever happened to him, you were to wait for a call from Charles and trust no one else. Soon after, supposed federal agents began pressing family members for information about Uncle Nicky's movements and dealings. No one mentioned the postcard. This morning Charles finally called, summoning you to the study for the reading of a will that names you specifically. Now, inside this downtown Chattanooga mystery, your team must piece together what really happened, discover what your uncle was trying to protect, and complete whatever final instructions he hid before 'they' arrive.
