“You are traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Your next stop, the Twilight Zone!” -- Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone

Imagine if you will, a place called Earth. Yes, our world, but one slightly different. In this world, Atlantis is a real place, not quite a continent, but a very large, technologically advanced, island nation located in the Atlantic ocean, that signed the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919 making it one of the original signatories of the League of Nations and later the United Nations.

In 1939, Orson Welles never made his famous broadcast, because the United States was actually invaded by Martians, a small, but warlike faction exiled from their own home planet that would set back Martian-Earth relations for decades to come. It wouldn’t be until 1974 that a permanent Martian embassy would be established on Earth in New Mexico at the site of the original Martian invasion.

Unlike Mars, Lemuria the largest of Hollow Earth’s underground civilizations, has never made peace with the surface world. Populated by a race of feathered, reptilian humanoids, believed to be descended from dinosaurs, it is considered a rogue nation by the United Nations. The Lemurians refuse to acknowledge the sovereignty of ‘human’ nations and persist in seeing all humans as a lesser species. They maintain an ongoing Cold War with all human nations and constantly make efforts to infiltrate and destabilize human governments.

Welcome to a world where steam engines once powered mighty war machines, as well as trains and factories. A world where Japan is protected by robot sentinels, Africa harbors a nation of sentient beasts and rogue geniuses still perform unsupervised super science experiments despite laws put in place to regulate or ban the most outlandish enterprises. A world where cults occasionally do summon actual demons from the depths of hell, much to the horror of those around them. A world, where on October 1st, 1989 forty-three women gave birth at the exact same hour. Forty-three women who that morning had not been pregnant on the previous day.
