Codenamed Urkunde-01 and nicknamed “First Relic”, the Nazis identified it as a production facility filled with dangerous and mysterious substances. Drilling into crystal capsules, presumably filled with [[Collapse Fluid]], proved disastrous and the area was nearly destroyed by explosions. The infamous Doctor Josef Mengele was particularly interested in the disease caused by the incident, which would later be called [[ELID]], but this avenue of research was shut down by the Reich. After World War Two began, research into Urkunde-01 was shelved but its covert labs were used to house nuclear weapons and V-weapons research programs. | ||
