[QUOTE="Mik, post: 472745, member: 6552"] Heh... combining the Bomb with occultism could give you a nice dark touch. Berlin finishes their atomic program, demonstrates the bomb, perhaps in Siberia with help from the Soviets, but more likely not. By this time, Stalin and the National Socialists would be grating against one another. Still, the test would likely be as close to "public" as a secret test could be; the Nazis haven't got a convenient desert to hide it in. The detonation of The Bomb also causes something other than America to stir to action... Deep under the Pacific Ocean, something has been waiting for "the stars (terrific nuclear reactions) to be right"... Cthulhu. :D Now, old tentacle-face doesn't need to show up, but perhaps the detonation of The Bomb is a signal of Earthling development that the Lovecraftian things take as one demanding their increased action and attention. By the 1970s, the countries with the greatest influence in the world are those who have both clapped the atomic genie in chains (solid weapons programs) and developed offensive and defensive uses of Mythos spells and creatures... Bruce Sterling had a short story in some anthology that used that as a conceit, but I can't recall the title. The kinds of characters that could be put together into a covert ops team in this world would surely be memorable... for their short, very exiting lifespans. Just throwing idea grenades, here. =Mik [/QUOTE]
