Story: Welcome To Project Vigilance

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. And may I be the first to say; welcome to Project Vigilance!

You have been recommended to us as the best in your fields, whether you are military, scientific, medical, or administrative. We've screened you for possible psychological problems, mental weakness, and criminal records.

But this isn't like any of your past jobs. This is different, this is exciting, and every day carries the possibility of violent, disgusting death. Or a fate worse than that, even.

This isn't for the weak-hearted or the spineless. We need people who can stand up to nature's crazy tirade and things we don't understand.

Project Vigilance aims to protect humanity. Our files aren't released to everyone. You will all be class 2, so able to access around seventy-five percent of files. And what you'll read may be too much for you.

On average, one in every ten candidates dies in their first year. Another goes mad or is severely debilitated. It is luck that will get you through this nightmare.

But by heck, this'll be the best nightmare you ever had. And so very worth it.
