The adventure starts when the player characters receive an Omicron summons to a mission briefing on short notice. Every player should be familiar with the History and The Wonder Years data in the present day. The Matherses' situation is common Company knowledge few active black ops are more well-known than Nolan and Mia and everyone's heard of Dexter. This prank got him confined to his room at the Lab, though only after a mission had been assembled and a team formed.

More importantly, at least for several red-faced Combat ops, he knew how to plant the same sort of information for others to "stumble" across. He knew how to survey them all for seemingly innocent factoids that led to a much larger, much darker picture. Though denied access to Blacknet, the pre-teen had mastered the Internet and other media outlets. Of all his many talents, none had grown more quickly than his expertise in data analysis.

The situation escalated until six months ago, when Dexter, now 12, convinced Combat administrators that the Greys intended to set up a base at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Ohio. As the boy aged - and the pranks grew more cunning and inspired - fewer and fewer bystanders found themselves amused. Mia went into a hygienic frenzy, but the other ops laughed.

Mostly humor sprang from the first incidents, such as a 6-year-old Dexter sneaking a giant cockroach out of the specimen enclosures at the Lab, using a homemade bit and bridle to ride the beast. Then Dexter started testing his knowledge. Whatever strange bond existed between the outgoing Combat op and the mirthless Science op only deepened as Dexter grew. Mostly he provided an immense emotional anchor: while Mia did the child-raising, he roared his pride in both to anyone who would listen. 38 as a rattle and teaching Dexter not to tuck his thumb into his fist when punching or into his mouth when teething. Nolan contributed a bit to the education, providing a perfect replica of a snubnose. Mia taught Dexter seven languages while he remained a toddler, had him reading by his fourth birthday and promised him geometry lessons as a fifth-birthday present.

Till the child reached age 5, things went fairly smoothly. They made their home at the Lab, the Science-department headquarters beneath the Gulf of Mexico. The child's father took to calling him "grunto." His mother took to training him. She named him Dexter many an op has argued whether it represents the one bit of humor she's ever displayed. The Mathers avoided disavowal, though they did endure punitive grief to show other ops that no further exceptions to the childbearing policy would get by - at least, until the Mathers experiment produced results. Tempted with this proposal, the Company blinked first. Her and Nolan's genetics combined with a lifetime of training could create a superagent to put even the incredible black ops to shame, she argued. The situation might have gone unsalvaged except for Mia's trump card: she intended to train the child, from birth, to become a black op. Neither backed down from their stated intention to have a child, and Mia was already entering her second trimester. Science op Mia's colossal, no-nonsense intellect and huge telepathic potential had set her apart - though her cold manner and inability to communicate with Greys limited her standing among her fellow active ops and the administration, respectively. Nolan had forged a reputation in the Combat department with his macho charm and knife-across-the-throat tactics. Both also were valued, veteran agents who graduated from the Academy in 1982. Neither of the Mathers - who had been romantically involved for about two years at the time - could claim this loophole. From day one, ops have been under orders to avoid procreation unless assigned one of the handful of outside secret identities requiring a family as cover. This, to say the least, violated Company policy. They announced that they planned to have a child. Two of the Company's own black ops, Nolan and Mia Mathers, created one of the stranger crises in 1985. Things often happen that "never could happen," but not all of these originate in the shadowy world of Greys and evil psis. In its half-century of exploring and destroying the paranormal, the Company has dealt with bizarre circumstances more often than not.
