Weird Research Facility was founded in the 1950s, during the Cold War, when the United States wanted to try anything that would give them an advantage over the Soviets, so they founded a top-secret research laboratory where they could investigate any kind of weird idea without any kind of supervision.
The problem was that they did not have a budget for more than one lab, so they had to made all the investigations in one place.
Under the commands of the founder/administrator/chief scientist, Steve Spencer-Betruger-Breen-Johnson-wale, the laboratory has carried over the years, a great number of eccentric experiments that went disastrous at end; from the incident of the zombie aliens to the development of inter-dimensional portal devices that opened portals to other dimensions inhabited by hostile creatures.
All this was supervised by the faithful and reliable IA INGTKATH also know as imnotgoingtokillallthehumans who dealt every day with the crap of the scientific personnel that endangered their personal safety and the facilities.
Everything was going relatively well ... until now.
