 OPERATION M.U.S.E

 Recruitment Dossier 2.6

 Security Level: Top

 Urgency: Utmost

 New Recruit –

 Hello. We are pleased to have you on board. We regret that this orientation cannot take place in person, but we have been assured by those who have been tracking your every movement that you have the sort of stalwart character and penchant for secrecy that we value here at M.U.S.E.

 You likely were not aware you were being recruited. Regretful, but the need for clandestine operations is critical, and we do apologize. Now that you have been, however, you must first follow the man behind you. No, the other one – the left. Yes, him. He will take you to be processed. Should you survive to see the remainder of this document, we will be happy to have you aboard.



 Upon Completion of Processing

 -

 Well done. You have proven yourself worthy of learning the following truths, beginning with the founding of our organization.

To understand the secret history of George Mason, one must first understand M.U.S.E.



<span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"CourierNew"; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";color:#212121">The Mason Underground Signal Entity was first discovered by the War Department during experiments in transmitting and receiving extremely low frequency (ELF) radio waves in the 1940s. Anomalous transmissions received by the Washington Naval Observatory were determined to emanate from somewhere in Fairfax County. The signals were sporadic and little could be done at the time to further isolate them.

As the years progressed he wrote of visions and macabre dreams that drove him to find the, as he described it, 'entity' that was attempting to communicate with him.

Experiments by an undisclosed Mason researcher brought the Entity to Mann's attention. The two were able to cross-reference the signal with records in the National Archives and discovered that several of the messages appeared to have been either prophetic or indicative of secret truths that would later come to light.

<p class="MsoNormal"> The George Mason fountain activates as part of a cleansing ritual. When it is off, loose ends have been taken care of.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Looking directly into the eyes of the Confucius statue has resulted in students waking up in an entirely different part of campus with no knowledge of how they got there.

<p class="MsoNormal"> La Patisserie was once the location for a support group meeting of individuals who have been touched by the strange occurrences at Mason. Before La Patisserie, these students met at Peet’s Coffee. Both were suddenly closed within months of each other.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Walking to Lot K at night takes you past the gazebo. On cold nights, lights will occasionally flash inside, accompanied by the drone of bees.

<p class="MsoNormal"> There is a closet in Robinson 125A. Do not open it. Ever.

<p class="MsoNormal"> The ambient white noise in Innovation Hall, when sped up electronically, results in digital noise intermixed with ancient Armenian. The only distinguishable word is “help.”

The M.U.S.E. Project has developed an application that enables most models of cell phone to pick up these ELF transmissions and is actively recruiting new student members.

To the best of your ability, interpret these messages and place them into the collective online database for other recruits to see. With more data available, we may be able to stop whatever catastrophic happening the Entity has been alluding to for so many years.
