TEUFELHAUS, the secret volcano base of the Karotechia, holds wonders of science so brilliant and colorless that the dread of such fearful illumination burns itself into our vision forever. Foremost among these shining jewels in the lethal volcano crown of technology is the mighty U-Boat ULTIMA. This craft is a glowing underwater force which defies both reason and retinas, for she is not of this Earth...

This is her story.

Aktion EXODUS was the early 80's expedition to Grey Dragon Island in the South China Sea. It was led by the Ritter scientist Dexter Minax Mondain. Dexter, the product of Dr. Gunter Frank's experiments in eugenics, was investigating claims of a gateway to THULE in Chinese waters. What he found was the Karotechia's greatest hope for world domination.

The Gateway lay in the ruins of a Cult HQ long since destroyed in a forgotten conflict. But Dexter found more than ruins. In a staggering coincidence that Dr. Bitterich described as the surest proof of the Glorious Destiny of the Karotechia, Mondain the Scientist made contact with a team of SS explorers from another world, a world with a history much different than our own.

The poorly funded team of deluded Karotechia archaeologists clumsily dug up the ruins of a eldritch partially submerged cave system. They uncovered extremely advanced electronics that dated to pre-WWII times. These were electronics that had a place in the guidance of intercontinental ballistic missiles.

While pondering these mysteries, the Karotechia team was being watched. The night vision periscope offshore was from a British nuclear attack submarine operating under the auspices of PISCES and Delta Green. The few personnel on board that knew what was going on were woefully unprepared for the fate which was about to befall them.


Elsewhere, yet somehow at the same place and time, but still inexplicably *elsewhere*, the Kapitan of the Type IL Fortress U-Boat ULTIMA THULE prepared for the submergence that would take his command beneath his own reality, and into the life of Ritter scientist Dexter Minax Mondain.

Onboard the experimental prototype the situation was tense. Outside, the attack submarines of the Imperial Japanese Navy were closing in, weaving between the treacherous reefs and shoals near Grey Dragon Island. ULTIMA was running out of time.

Kapitan Zeiss gave the order to fire the Blue-Green laser array at the prism mines. Instantly, the sea was filled with boiling steam as a complex tapestry of light kilometers in area came into being. A white bio-hulled Katana class submarine died bleeding into the bubbling waters. Others from her pale skinned task force filled the sea with buoyant microscopic bio-countermeasures called diatoms, after the fossilized creatures they so resembled. ULTIMA's beams of coherent light no longer had the power to destroy, they couldn't even scan the waters past the cloud of transparent diatoms. ULTIMA's great eye was blind.

Didi Minax Mondain, ULTIMA's Female SS Science Officer, notified the Kapitan that the experimental VRIL generators were ready to commence operation. The Magneto-Hydro-Dynamic propulsion caterpillar would have to be shut down for the VRIL to be brought into existence. The ULTIMA was not nuclear, as the Magnetic Anomaly Detectors of the Imperial Japanese could easily find the radioactive submarines of the U-boat korps. Instead she was powered by a Monopolar Turbine fueled by the Third Reich's covert suppliers in Festung Amerika.

The Amerikans had defeated the British years earlier, during the War of Retribution, allowing Germany to crush the communists in the Soviet Union. Now they were supplying both the Japanese and the global terrorism of the nationless Anglo-French Resistance. Amerika had risen above the great depression that affected the rest of the world. Risen above with the corporate might of New World Industries, and rumors of alien contact. The Amerikan stock market had begun an unstoppable rise in 1929 that continued unabated to this day.

During the turbulent 50's, Amerika had abandoned democracy in favor of an unrestricted capitalism. The weak government had fallen and corporations had taken up the slack, raiding the wealth of the destroyed British empire for gains that soared beyond the dreams of avarice. Amerika today was a polluted environmental hell of endless profits, the kingdom of Mammon. She had the most advanced technology imaginable, and no responsibility to anything except the bottom line.

Kapitan Ernest Zeiss of the Kreigsmarine U-boat Korps ordered his SS science crew to activate the VRIL generators. Oberfuhrer Mondain carried out the procedures and electrified the resonators that brought the ultra-luminous VRIL into existence. Imperial Japanese Katana's launched albacore Naginata torpedoes equipped with Teardrop tactical nuclear warheads. Bolts of unearthly radiance screamed through the diatom polluted waters like ravenous lightning. Katana's exploded into fury as VRIL enhanced death sought them out.

When the Teardrops sorrowfully detonated, the ULTIMA THULE was already gone. The commanders of the Katana task force reported that the VRIL generator had malfunctioned and had torn the ULTIMA THULE into a mass of shredded ceramic-hybrid materials that had been disintegrated by the Teardrops. They were wrong of course, but they would never know.

The next day, the conflict between the Third Reich and the Imperial Japanese escalated into a full scale nuclear exchange. Deep in extravagant caverns sheltering the powerful of Amerika, a man of infinite black radiance laughed, surrounded by his genetically engineered blue-skinned minions.

It was not a pleasant laugh.


The ULTIMA THULE had been severely damaged by the VRIL activation. Her Blue Green Lasers scanned the surrounding seas. The diatoms had vanished, and so had the Imperial Japanese, the Prism Mines and a large portion of Grey Dragon Island.

Sonic sensors, laser scanning and hydrophones did pick up a very noisy submarine of unknown class and type. It did not appear to have detected the ULTIMA. A brief analysis of communications showed her to be a British vessel. "Impossible!" thought Herr Kapitan Zeiss, "The Anglo-French? With a submarine? In Japanese Waters?" It was too puzzling. Zeiss pondered that perhaps the mongrel Japanese had spoofed all his sensors with some sort of Amerikan computer trickery. ULTIMA powered her Blue-Green Laser Array.

Aboard the HMS Turbulence, the Joint SBS/SEAL team was preparing to strike. They had scarcely boarded their mini-subs when the black night sea turned into a supernova. The Turbulence leaked oil, hydraulic fluids and fuel; steadily sinking toward an underwater gorge deep below. Blinded SpecOps divers swam about confused, some were cooked alive in the boiling ocean. ULTIMA fired her unique laser eye once more. The waters boiled and steamed. The broken hull of the Turbulence melted and cooled in the dark underbelly of the bestial sea.

Nearby, on the volcanic atoll of Grey Dragon Island, Dexter Mondain was awakened by a furious detonation. Far out to sea, a glowing hideous radiance was emerging from beneath the waves. There was nothing he could do during that sleepless night.

The next day, the digging proceeded ahead of schedule. Soon, the Bischofe would arrive from La Estancia and inspect Aktion EXODUS in close detail. Scientist Mondain wanted everything to be in perfect order. Thus, he was totally surprised when a parboiled squad of angry British and American soldiers assaulted his position.

Latin and Arabic Bauer screamed and returned fire, others fled for their lives. Dexter shot a fleeing sub-human racing toward him in the face with his Chinese built Luger. The enemy was very clever and well-trained, and even in their wounded state had managed to preserve enough of their equipment to significantly outgun the Karotechia. Dexter was doomed by these black clad unmarked soldiers.

The firefight raged for brief and critical moments. A Bauer fell into a trench armed with nothing but a pickaxe. A US Navy SEAL died as a bullet tore through his brain. It was about to turn disastrous for the Karotechia when without warning or remorse, a coherent ray of blue-green light sliced into the attackers.

The ULTIMA Kapitan watched through his normal periscope as his laser was diverted into the complex serpentine optics of the laser periscope, from thence to destroy the Anglo-French survivors attacking what appeared to be a band of German scientists on an atoll resembling a volcanically destroyed Grey Dragon Island.

After all the attackers had been slain, the ULTIMA rose from the depths. Her forward hatch opened and the HANNEBBU V-7a FlugKreisel rose from it's berthing within the ULTIMA THULE. The surviving Karotechia members watched, utterly astonished, as the flying saucer extended it's tripod landing gear and came to rest on Grey Dragon Island.

Dexter Mondain watched as the swastika marked disc opened and an Aryan woman dressed in the uniform of the SS Technical Korps boldly strode toward him. It was with a feeling of glory and dread that he approached his alternate world double.
