THE DEVIL'S MOUNTAIN
After an encounter with a strange subterranean signal, an NSA Analyst at Field Station Berlin sends a request to Central that's well above his clearance level.

SUBJECT: Read-In Clearance Request for Berlin Event
Sir, I am formally requesting assistance for a developing situation here at our ECHELON listening station on Teufelsberg a.k.a. “The Hill.”
In the last several days, our team has been picking up a strange transmission from beneath the station. At first, we believed this was just a poorly redirected signal from another point of origin. After all, we do utilize a Ferris Wheel as a signal amplifier, so we’ve had issues before. As we traced the signal, though, we discovered it originated from below the subbasement of our own facility. It’s coming from underground.
While these transmissions are infrequent, we have identified a pattern. We’ve received exactly 10 messages since last Wednesday, occurring at roughly 12-hour intervals. At initial listen, the messages are garbled nonsense. Our own instruments proved unable to decrypt anything intelligible. However, each message is the same length, with vocal pitches occurring at the exact same interval in each message. It’s gibberish, but it’s intentional gibberish. Someone is transmitting a repeating code.
I should point out that The Hill is not a natural elevation, but a man-made hill. Teufelsberg – meaning “Devil’s Mountain” – is actually tons of rubble from the war, piled atop an unfinished Nazi military facility. According to our files, it was a simple matter of cost – it was cheaper to simply bury it than demolish it. It is from this buried Nazi structure that our strange transmission is broadcasting.
I should also make it clear that I am not a superstitious man. But I heard rumors of a classified incident occurring at a certain Berlin checkpoint early last month. In fact, we intercepted two communications requesting assistance combatting an “otherworldly, supernatural threat.” These messages curiously went unanswered by Central. One mentioned an “Office of Requiem.” I did some digging and found it to be an office operating under DS&T. However, I lack necessary clearance to even identify who is running the office, let alone its purpose.
Last month an unnatural event at the checkpoint. This month an unnatural signal beneath our feet. I do not believe in coincidence. There is a connection between these events. Therefore, I hereby request read-in clearance to all files pertaining to the Berlin Incident. If this request is denied, and transmissions persist, we will be left no choice but to begin excavating. We must find out what’s going on down there – one way or there other.
