Ad Undas is the cryptic codename assigned to an enigmatic United States Navy installation concealed beneath the bustling metropolis of Los Angeles, California, spanning from the mid-20th to the early 21st century. This clandestine base exists as an intensely classified facility, veiled in an impenetrable shroud of secrecy that surpasses conventional measures. It remains an enigma, safeguarded by multiple layers of obscurity, effectively isolating it from public knowledge and rendering it highly improbable for even the highest echelons of power, including the President and the Armed Services Committees of Congress, to possess any awareness of its very existence.

Purpose

Research into the Supernatural, Paranormal, and Magical: Ad Undas Base is primarily dedicated to delving into the uncharted realms of the supernatural, paranormal, and magical aspects of the universe. It serves as a clandestine hub for cutting-edge research and exploration, where scientists and experts work tirelessly to unravel the mysteries and harness the extraordinary forces that lie beyond the realms of conventional understanding.
Secrecy and Concealment: One of the primary objectives of Ad Undas Base is to maintain an unparalleled level of secrecy. The base operates under strict protocols to ensure that its research, experiments, and the existence of its personnel remain hidden from public knowledge. The utmost efforts are made to safeguard the base's true nature, employing elaborate security measures and layers of confidentiality to preserve its covert operations.
Containment of Experimental Soldiers: Ad Undas Base serves as a last-chance facility for dangerous experimental soldiers who have been subjected to radical alterations, transforming them into formidable weapons. The base functions as a highly secure containment facility, housing and managing these individuals whose enhanced abilities make them unpredictable and potentially hazardous. Its primary objective is to prevent any threats posed by these soldiers from being unleashed upon the world while providing them with a controlled environment.
Housing and Utilizing Special Personnel: The underground facilities of Ad Undas Base accommodate a unique and diverse array of individuals possessing extraordinary abilities that defy conventional explanation or categorization. These special personnel, burdened by troubled records, rehabilitation attempts, or other unsuitability for traditional duty, find their place within the base. The primary objective is to harness and utilize their exceptional talents for the benefit of national security, while simultaneously providing them with an opportunity to find stability and purpose within the confines of the facility.
Ensuring Stability and Utilization: Ad Undas Base places a significant emphasis on ensuring the stability and usefulness of its personnel. The base operates as a testing ground for the special individuals, with the understanding that they must prove their worth and demonstrate their ability to function effectively within the confines of the facility. The objective is to provide them with a chance to contribute positively while warning of a mysterious and potentially ominous fate that awaits them should they fail to find their place within Ad Undas Base.

Construction and Protective Measures

The construction of the underground facility was a monumental undertaking that involved a unique blend of advanced engineering techniques and mystical practices. The structural integrity of the facility is reinforced by a complex network of reinforced concrete walls and steel supports, ensuring its stability and durability. However, what truly sets the construction apart are the intricate magical runes and spells woven into the very fabric of the facility.

Master spellcasters and enchanters were involved in the creation of the base, infusing the construction materials and key structural components with powerful protective enchantments. These magical safeguards serve multiple purposes, including shielding the facility from external threats, warding off unauthorized intrusions, and concealing its true nature from prying eyes. The magical runes and spells act as a barrier, cloaking the base's presence and repelling any attempts at magical detection or surveillance.

The enchantments placed upon the facility are carefully maintained and periodically reinforced by a team of skilled practitioners. These mystical safeguards are essential for ensuring the secrecy, security, and continued functioning of the base, as they provide an additional layer of defense against both physical and metaphysical threats.

Hidden Entrances throughout Los Angeles

To maintain the utmost secrecy and ensure covert access to the underground facility, a network of hidden entrances has been strategically established throughout the city of Los Angeles and its surrounding areas. These entrances are concealed within seemingly abandoned buildings, their ownership masked by shell companies meticulously created by the US Government.

Each hidden entrance is designed to be inconspicuous and blend seamlessly into the urban environment. These covert access points are accessed through cleverly disguised doorways, concealed passageways, or hidden panels that seamlessly integrate with the surrounding architecture. Some entrances require specific activation mechanisms, such as a sequence of gestures or the recitation of a specific incantation, known only to authorized personnel.

The locations of these hidden entrances are carefully selected to provide discreet access for personnel, ensuring minimal suspicion or attention from the general public. They are strategically dispersed across different neighborhoods, spanning various districts of the city, making it challenging for outsiders to identify any pattern or commonality.

In addition to the entrances within the city, the underground complex also connects with a small above-ground airfield and military base located several miles away from the outskirts of Los Angeles. This above-ground installation serves as a secondary point of entry and exit, acting as a cover for the covert activities happening beneath the surface. Two distinct tunnels capable of moving large equipment and supplies provide direct access between the above-ground base and the underground complex, while an auxiliary tunnel, spacious enough for personnel and similarly sized equipment, offers an alternative route for movement and deployment.

These hidden entrances and covert access points play a vital role in maintaining the secrecy and operational efficiency of the base, allowing personnel to enter and exit discreetly while preserving the illusion of the abandoned buildings above ground.

-Ad Undas is the code name for a secret United States Navy installation located under the city of Los Angeles, California during the mid 20th to the early 21st century.   Reports of the nature of this base are hard to come by, it is a highly classified facility with multiple layers of secrecy protecting it.  It is doubtful that even the President or the Armed Services Committees of Congress know of its existence.

 == Purpose ==
-While the base has a large contingent of US Navy and Marine personnel above ground the underground facilities house personnel of a more unique and special nature.  Though the exact compliment and composition is unknown, the base houses those who have special abilities of some kind which defy conventional explanation or categorization.  Because the nature of these personnel is not always predictable, this facility is considered a ''last chance'' facility.  Most of its unique personnel are in some way burdened by less than spotless records, attempts to rehabilitate, or otherwise unfit for duty at a normal facility.  Those who are assigned to the base are often made aware early on that if they cannot find a way to be useful and stable at this facility they will find an unknown and at times sinister fate waiting for them on the other side.

+== Construction and Protective Measures ==
-Hybrids and shapeshifters.  A varied group of personnel who can assume the shape of or qualities of natural animals.  While a fair portion of these units are made up of were-creatures (people who can shape-shift either partially or in full into the form of an animal) it also has a number of those who have been the subject of genetic testing which has left them with qualities and traits from the animal kingdom, who cannot shift.

The magical runes and spells act as a barrier, cloaking the base's presence and repelling any attempts at magical detection or surveillance.
-Abilities of the mind.  Far less varied in nature to the ''Alpha'' group, these people through either natural (though mostly mysterious) means or through some kind of supernatural or paranormal means have gained the ability to use their minds to effect the real world, these traits are generally filed under [[Psionic Abilities]].  ''Beta'' has developed its own research into such abilities, their uses, and how to cultivate skills in those who possess the natural gifts required.

+The enchantments placed upon the facility are carefully maintained and periodically reinforced by a team of skilled practitioners.

-Abilities which defy the laws of physics using an unknown form of energy.  The colloquial explanation for these abilities is the term ''magic''.  People with magical traits are able to harness an unexplained but powerful form of energy which science seems unable to detect directly, but rather detects by its effects on the world around it.  Often magic users are able to completely defy conventional physics.  '"Gamma'' section has its own field of study, much like ''Beta'' section which studies the mind.  ''Gamma'' studies this other-worldly energy the control and use of that energy.
-=== Delta ===
+== Hidden Entrances throughout Los Angeles ==
-Fringe science that deals with the paranormal and where the preternatural and supernatural meet the conventional world of science.  Activities of this group are focused entirely on research and development.  Such activities are often in violation of not only the methods and practices of science but its ethics as well.  In addition this section also studies the occult.  A research and development division devoted to the study and understanding of the occult, its meanings, and the mythos behind them.  Combining the occult with fringe science is at times gruesome combination but is not to be dismissed or underestimated.

-There are secret entrances to the base throughout the city, mostly in abandoned buildings whose land is owned by shell companies created by the US Government to maintain cover.  In addition, outside the city the underground complex connects with a small airfield and military base above ground.  Though this base is also classified, those who are stationed at the above ground installation have little or no knowledge of the underground complex, again for security reasons.  This above ground portion of the base is located several miles from the outskirts of Los Angeles connecting to the underground complex via 2 distinct tunnels capable of moving large equipment, and 1 auxiliary tunnel big enough for personnel and similarly sized equipment.
