"It takes faith, and something more. It's hard to explain. Most of our medical personnel can do it. It makes life easier for our agents if they don't have to keep explaining to friends and family why they keep winding up in the hospital with gunshot wound, stabs, claw marks and all the other injuries you field agents tend to acquire in the line of duty."Before you leave,Stanfield had a few more things to say. "Now, it's time for an explanation. You probably want to know what you were up against. We call them Sandmen, for obvious reasons.""They're humans who have been infected with nanobots. They completely subvert the body, enhancing it and turning it into more a machine than a person, but it also rewrites the brain. They become completely loyal to whoever is controlling these nanobots. Make no mistake, a Sandman isn't a human anymore. He has the knowledge of the person infected, but nothing remains of the origina aside from a shelll. We don't know who is behind this nanovirus, but we do know one thing for sure.""It's extraterrestrial in origin, and the aliens that have created it have an ultimate goal of nothing less than the domination of this planet," he says, with a deadly serious expression on his face, as he reveals to you that humanity is not only not alone in the universe, but is already at war with another species."They want to turn us all into their slaves. One of our primary goals at the Hoffmann Institute is to stop this from happening. Magic, psionics, paranormal, learning about that just might give us the edge we need to win this war. Now you know one of the reasons why the work we do is so important. It's not just expanding human knowledge, it's ensuring that humanity actually has a future.""It's a lot to take in, I know. Take one of the Hummers, and head back to the office. Write up a report, and give it to Leo. You did real good today, you should be proud of yourselves. The special ops boys will clean up the site, and make sure the civilians are okay, and come up with a cover story that we'll give the media."</blockquote>
