'''In 1950''': Bruce Heezen and Marie Tharp discovered the Mid-Atlantic
Ridge, which was central in the breakup of Pangaea that began some 180
million years ago. Mostly underwater the mountain range of the
Atlantic Ocean and Arctic Ocean runs from 87°N (about 333 km South of
the North Pole) to subantarctic Bouvet Island at 54°S. The highest
peaks of this mountain range extend above the water mark, to form
islands. It was on Bouvet Island that they found a strange steel
"capsule" with these words etched into it... <br>

'''In late 1951''', Francis Crick started working with James D. Watson at
Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge in England. Using
a mathematical theory of X-ray diffraction by a helical molecule,
Watson and Crick together developed a model for a helical structure of
DNA, which they published in 1953. What Dr. Crick and Watson kept
private was that this find also lead to a message found within the DNA
strands themselves! Deciphered it read: <br> 
''"[[Doctor Kessler]], He needs your aid! He waits with
Queen Baoht at [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/The_Valley_of_the_Queens Biban Al-Harim]. Planet Zero will DIE!! ...MCCXXXI/MCMLVI"'' <br>  <br> 

'''In 1952''', fishmonger - Captain Martin Braun discovered the remains of a
Viking ship near Boston, Massachusetts. Hangman Island in Quincy Bay
was where "x" marked the spot, the barren outcrop of bedrock known
prior only for the large sanctuary for birds revealed the upturned
hull found just beneath the course shore. Within the cavity of the
vessel Braun found a tomb-like chest containing several plunders along
with a steel chalice with this inscription: <br> 
''"[[Maxwell Marshall]], He needs your aid! He waits with
Queen Baoht at [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/The_Valley_of_the_Queens Biban Al-Harim]. Planet Zero will DIE!! ...MCCXXXI/MCMLVI"'' <br>  <br> 

'''In 1953''', Joe 4 (Warhead name: RDS-6s (Reaktivnyi Dvigatel Stalina;
Stalin's Rocket Engine) was the first Soviet test of a thermonuclear
weapon. Not a "true" hydrogen bomb, it was similar to a "boosted"
fission bomb rather than a multi-stage, megaton-range fusion weapon.
Soviet physicist Yuli Khariton estimated that Joe 4's yield power was
roughly equivalent to 400 kilotons of TNT. Strangely this detonation
uncovered a portion of mantle layered with a steel plate with an
inscription reading: <br> 
''"[[Lucy Lester]], He needs your aid! He waits with Queen
Baoht at [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/The_Valley_of_the_Queens Biban Al-Harim]. Planet Zero will DIE!! ...MCCXXXI/MCMLVI"'' <br>  <br>  <br> 
It is now late 1956 and these messages have been gathered by The
Lazarus Trust... This small cell of American "heroes" has been
contacted and arranged. <br>  <br> 
'''STAND STAIGHT ROCKET JOCKIES!!'''  <br> Adventure awaits as our Z-children
face the the [[Sand Crystal Pyramid Beast]] to find their way to the
stars to save Earth!! <br>  <br>
