'''The Blackwood Institute''' was a high-level government crisis management consultant firm whose function was to create contingency plans for use in emergencies ranging from natural disasters to nuclear war. Their research led them towards investigating a First Contact scenario involving an alien species when they discovered a distressed Naval vessel in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Spearheaded by Deputy National Security Advisor [[J.T. Baylock]], he initiated a top-secret program dubbed the "Threshold Protocol" and assigned contingency analyst [[Molly Anne Caffrey]] to put together a team to study the extraterrestrial phenomena. Her team included macrobiolgist Doctor [[Nigel Fenway]], astronautical engineer [[Lucas Pegg]], Federal agent [[Sean Cavennaugh]] and linguististics expert and mathematician [[Arthur Ramsey]]. Caffrey's group was code-named "Red Team".

== Notes & Trivia ==
