Professor Frederick von Humboldt
You and your friends cautiously approach the laboratory. As you prepare to make your way inside, suddenly a figure appears from a darkened corner of the building. Your crew readies themselves for a fight, but are relieved to see that it is a surviving scientist.
"Thank you for coming to rescue me! I was sure that my number was up. --- Who am I? I am Professor Frederick von Humboldt. I work here in this laboratory. Earlier this evening, my colleagues and I were preparing to leave the building and join in the Halloween festivities, when suddenly all hell broke loose.
But tell me, what is happening around town? --- I see. Oh dear. Then he's actually done it. You are, no doubt, curious as to what is happening to our small, peaceful town of Pondunkia. I will tell you.
Months ago, we were working on a machine. The purpose of this machine was to alter molecular structures and change the density of building materials and the like. We finished our build and set about to testing it. Amazingly, the results were not what we expected. The machine created a hole in space, a 'portal' if you like. A dimensional portal, to an alternate reality! This, of course, was an astonishing find, one with the potential to change our world forever. With more research and some calibration, we were able to divert the portal's destination. We discovered new and strange realities. Some of them disturbing. We all agreed that the machine needed much more testing. All, save for one.
His name is Dr. Wongo. He was a mysterious figure among our group, having worked at Podunkia Laboratories for a short time. He had a brilliant mind, but an almost sinister demeanor. To employ the common vernacular, there was just something not right about him. The Portal Generator needed more testing, but he argued that it had been tested enough. And more shockingly, he suggested that we should use the machine for our own designs. This was unthinkable. From then on, I was sure to keep a sharp eye on him. But in vain, it seems.
Two weeks ago, Dr. Wongo and I were the last in the building. We were set to depart for the night, but he wanted to stay behind. There was work to be done, he said. And against my better judgement, I left him. The next day he and the Portal Generator were gone.
We wondered if that would be the last we'd hear from Dr. Wongo, but tonight he returned. The man has gone mad! He's using the Portal Generator to open a path to a terrifying dimension. The Halloween Dimension! He aims to flood our world with nightmarish creatures, so that Halloween will last forever!
We have to stop him. Somewhere in the building is a second machine. Fearing what he may do, I created the Portal Disruptor. It is the only thing that can stop the Portal Generator and defeat Dr. Wongo. You must find it!
But be wary, it is not the only thing that waits inside."
