[/p][p]Your next mission is just around the corner, and you’ll need to prepare for a frightening chill.  We’ve found evidence that Dr. Moorcroft has taken his Mire experiments even further from scrutiny, to a well hidden and remote Antarctic Base. The good news is we’ve found it, located on the Brunt Ice Shelf.[/p][p][/p][p]https://media.tripwirecdn.com/021326/abmesshall.png[/p][p]https://media.tripwirecdn.com/021326/abtunnel.png[/p][p][/p][p]Satellite reconnaissance shows that this station is attached to a dig site, something you wouldn’t expect from a purely research facility. Could something frozen in time have drawn his interest here?[/p][p][/p][p]https://media.tripwirecdn.com/021326/abexcercise.png[/p][p][/p][p]We expect the weather will be both unpredictable and unforgiving, so staying inside may be your primary choice. During your search, keep an eye out for any working tools onsite that could provide an edge in combating whatever horrors you may find.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink] [/p][p]One more thing specialists, we’ve found evidence we weren’t the only ones looking out here. So best arm up, as we don’t know what terrors, ancient or modern, you may face. We’ll have more details to share on your expanded arsenal and updated field conditions in the coming days.[/p][p]
