Unknown 9: The Taylor Files
The chaos of the closing days of the Vietnam War gives the CIA a unique opportunity to gain the edge they need over the Soviets in their “psychic arms race.” CIA operatives Hans Kraus, Waylan Taylor, and Emerson Vang interrogate POWs with unique abilities, experiment with reality-changing psionic technology, and make contact with realms beyond, all while advancing their personal agendas and covertly serving the Ascendants.
Watch the web series and not only will you gain insight into how the Leap Year Society’s bitter rivals operate, but you’ll find yourself in the thick of an enthralling psychological hunt that involves probing the minds of those with psychic connections to the Fold. The goal? Help the Ascendants locate a brilliant inventor last seen during the events of Unknown 9: Awakening.
