I'm quite happy to see that we easily have enough players for a campaign.
While we are still fiddling with the last details of your PCs, I figured I should go ahead and give you some of the players handout. These comprise the briefing files that the characters receive at the beginning of the mission and lay down the facts pretty well.
This is a short written briefing by Gamemenos. That guy is fairly important, though his briefing has obviously been written by an aide. In truth, this is a fairly low priority assignment.
Agent Hector Ramirez has other ideas and is suspcious in particular of the aftermath of the aberrant attack mentioned in the briefing. That's why he pulled strings and arranged for a suprisingy strong team to investigate. You'll hear more about that when the campaign begins.
This is a transcript of communications between Cantor Station and orbital station Moskva just before the attack.
Note the little green numbers in the transcript. They correllate to some very interesting analysis conducted by a comitee that ran the initial investigation.

Some info about the
Beaulac clinic, deemed by Trinity to be the apparent common link.
Finally, Ithuriel, pay attention to this. This is an interview from Cori Heisler. She is an investigative journalist and she crop up through much of the campaign. She could be a good contact.

This isn't homework, none of this is absolutely mandatory. But it makes following the story a helluva easier, especially since you are supposed to investigate these incidents.

Note that I didn't download an illegal .pdf file. These are scans of my own legally purchased book, as you can see from the fact that I'm too computer illeterate to pull these together in a single .pdf!
Damn it, I wanted to attach a picture of the cover of the book and messed up. Here's the
cover of Descent into Darkness, first part of Darkness Revealed.
For the record, the first adventure is called 'Remnants of the dead'
