The Strange is a game published by Monte Cook Games. It is, at least in part, set in the normal world, but there are other worlds out there, in the Strange. This list has ten rumours for that setting, similar to the various different adventure hooks in the books, and these can be used as adventure hooks or simple misinformation.

1. Charlie, the grey ambassador, comes across as guileless, to the degree that some humans find it suspicious. They believe that someone so truly without guile couldn’t possibly serve as am ambassador, and that Charlie must be hiding something nefarious under their facade.
2. Club Gr3y is popular with both humans and greys but it’s known that a number of less than entirely legal things go on in the club’s private rooms. It’s rumoured that sometimes these descend into the outright illegal and would get the club shut down if the truth ever came out.
3. Greys don’t seem to have a specific gender, which has led to speculation about just how they reproduce. Some think that greys simply don’t have external signs of what gender they are, but others have suggested that greys reproduce by cloning or that they keep one of their genders hidden.
4. It’s rumoured that some of the greys not only consider humans to be second class citizens akin to pets, or perhaps beasts, but that they’ve been treating them that way too. Specifically, treating humans as if they were beats being raised for food, and dining on human flesh out of sight of those who might object.
5. Johnny, the grey proprietor of Club Gr3y, is rumoured to be extensively connected to New York’s underworld, though he presents a somewhat different, more legal, face to the rest of the world. However, it’s also rumoured that he has strict rules as to what he considers acceptable illegal behaviour.
6. Molly is the deputy grey ambassador and few humans have ever reported meeting it in person at the embassy. Those that have, have said that the grey is not the most personable of their kind and that it doesn’t appear to like dealing with humans at all.
7. New York Grey was created by fictional leakage about advanced aliens called greys. However, there are rumours that some of the greys have discovered the truth about the recursions and the Strange, and have started preliminary explorations in manners not dissimilar to their fictional counterparts.
8. One, generally not believed, rumour about the greys is that they are somehow sexually stimulated by humans. This is most often heard in jokes, but recently there have been other rumours saying that those who have tried to discover if there is any truth behind the jokes have tended to disappear.
9. The Grey Embassy is located near the UN Plaza, though there are rumours that the greys also have a significant presence inside the United Nations building itself, hidden amongst the many rooms and offices to be found within the place.
10. The jokes of Amy, the popular grey comedian at Club Gr3y, have become a lot darker recently, and some have wondered just what’s up with her. It’s said that the jokes have been taking on a turn dark enough that attendees are becoming uncomfortable.

The Strange is a game published by Monte Cook Games. It is, at least in part, set in the normal world, but there are other worlds out there, in the Strange. This list has six rumours for that setting, similar to the various different adventure hooks in the books, and these can be used as adventure hooks or simple misinformation.

1. It’s rumoured that a couple of minor superheroes have gone missing, and they’ve been disappeared so that someone can develop a new drug, not one that’s intended to be addictive as such, but one which is supposed to allow the user to gain superheroic powers for a short time.
2. Nightmare Chill and Mister Genocide are two supervillains who seem more interested in making money and living the good life on the proceeds than having any great plan to conquer the city or the world. It’s rumoured that the two have been seen working together a few times recently, suggesting that they may be planning a big score that needs both of them to pull off.
3. Some claim that the bounties on superhumans issued by the Department of Superhuman Affairs against those that don’t act in the public interest are more than a little biased. It’s said that some superhumans never fall afoul of the DSA, no matter what they do, and others are rapidly driven into becoming supervillains after their attempts to become superheroes results in bounties against them.
4. The Department of Superhuman Affairs is said to be setting up its own team of superheroes, one fully endorsed by the DSA who are effectively officers of the law in their own right. This team would have much greater leeway than normal superhumans, and given that the DSA itself would investigate any complaints, less oversight.
5. The quantum collapse arch is used by the Department of Superhuman Affairs to “imprison” supervillains, by having them cease to exist when they pass through it. There’s a rumour, though, that those who pass through the arch are actually transported to another realm.
6. The supervillain Mister Genocide can kil with a touch as he can synthesize deadly poison from his skin. He can also make his spittle and even his breath fatal to others, though it’s rumoured that he’s started losing control of his ability recently, sometimes killing even when he had no intention of doing so.

The Strange is a game published by Monte Cook Games. It is, at least in part, set in the normal world, but there are other worlds out there, in the Strange. This list has ten rumours for that setting, similar to the various different adventure hooks in the books, and these can be used as adventure hooks or simple misinformation.

1. Calamity was once part of the supervillain group created by Doctor Amazing, the Conquerors. Since the team fell apart, as supervillain teams are wont to do, he, like the others, has been acting alone. However, it’s rumoured that Calamity has been reaching out to some of his former teammates, and to some new supervillains, with the aim of reconstituting the Conquerors for a major job.
2. Galaxia, one of the Spectaculars, is often called the smartest person on the planet, spending most of her time in the labs in Spectaculars Sanctuary. It’s rumoured that recently Galaxia has essentially sealed herself into the labs, working feverishly on something and refusing to come out to deal with any other matters.
3. Ghostmancer is a new villain of the New Centropolis underworld, and there are rumours that he’s surprisingly powerful for a comparative unknown. It’s said that Ghostmancer has been reaching out to some other, lesser, villains, offering cooperation to them in exchange for favours.
4. It’s rumoured that Nightmare Chill is assembling a team of villains for one last big score, after which she plans to retire from supervillaining. It’s also rumoured that some of the team are actually heroes who have decided that helping the supervillain is the easiest way of taking her out of the picture.
5. Mister Genocide is a villain whose very presence causes those around him to become ill, though he’s usually more concerned with robbing banks than making people ill, though he doesn’t hesitate about killing if needed. However, it’s rumoured that he’s recently started branching out into murder for hire, finding this an easier way of making money than bank robbery.
6. Radioactive Girl exploded, sacrificing herself to stop the alien Karasang. Though nothing was left of Radioactive Girl, and a large crater marks the site of the explosion and where the original Centropolis used to stand, a few have claimed to have seen her ghost in the crater.
7. Robot Lad, one of the Spectaculars, has built a fleet of drones to help defend the Spectaculars’ skyscraper on Broadway, as the place is a magnet for supervillain attacks. It’s rumoured that during one of the most recent attacks that Robot Lad briefly lost control of some of the drones to another force, something that could be very worrying, especially as the robots had always seemed to be immune to such.
8. The previous leader of the Spectaculars, Silver Torch, was killed by a supervillain team assembled by Doctor Amazing, the Conquerors. There are rumours, though, that Silver Torch wasn’t outright killed, just seriously injured, and he’s currently hidden in a medical bay in Spectaculars Sanctuary.
9. The Spectaculars own a magnificent skyscraper on Broadway, which houses a number of superhumans including the Spectaculars themselves. It’s rumoured that the businesses and apartments near street level or on occasion taken over by the fronts of supervillains who are seeking to gain information on what the superheroes are up to.
10. The supervillain Gearbox and the Spectacular Robot Lad both build mechanical automatons, though Gearbox makes large war machines intended to destroy. It’s rumoured that a clash is building up between the two different superpowered individuals, and that this clash could see machine fighting machine in battle.

The Strange is a game published by Monte Cook Games. It is, at least in part, set in the normal world, but there are other worlds out there, in the Strange. This list has ten rumours for that setting, similar to the various different adventure hooks in the books, and these can be used as adventure hooks or simple misinformation.

1. Acts by superheroes in New Centropolis that are found to be questionable or outright illegal by the Department of Superhuman Affairs can result in a warrant for the individual’s arrest. It’s rumoured that on occasion the DSA has neglected to do anything about illegal actions when they believe that the ends justified the means.
2. Agents from groups on Earth and Ruk have apparently been spotted in New Centropolis. It’s rumoured that Ruk especially is looking to see if the superpowers possessed by some of the inhabitants can be copied and used in other recursions, creating, essentially, supersoldiers.
3. Alicia Reardon is the current head of the DSA office in New Centropolis. She was retired from field work after being injured bringing in the terrorist Mister Nefarious. It’s rumoured that the injury she suffered is causing her increasing problems, and that she may end up having to step down from running the office.
4. Centropolis Square is home to a tall statue of Radioactive Girl, the superhero who exploded with the force of a nuclear bomb in order to save the city. Some have claimed that on occasion the statue changes its position slightly, as if something, perhaps Radioactive Girl’s spirit, is animating it.
5. Corvid is a superhuman who looks like a human crow who has taken up the role of guarding Centropolis Square. He’s also fond of telling people that Radioactive Girl will return in their darkest hour, and some of the visitors to the square have apparently taken up to asking Corvid for more; it’s possible that a cult is starting to develop around Radioactive Girl with Corvid as its leader.
6. Radioactive Girl died when she went supernova to save the city from the Kasrang Mother Virus. Despite this, there are occasional rumours that people have seen her, injured but not dead, on the streets and alleys of New Centropolis, hiding in the shadows at night.
7. Supervillains are held by the DSA using a special facility based on little-understood technology which collapses prisoners to nonexistence for their duration. There are rumours by those who know about the Strange that this could be hacked into from the Strange itself, allowing prisoners to be broken out.
8. The Busker performs in Centropolis Square every day, with a level of ability that seems superhuman, and she also is able to answer questions truthfully, if paid and only once, even when it seems there is no way she can know the answer. Some think she may have a connection to the Spectaculars as some kind of information gatherer.
9. The headquarters of the Department of Superhuman Affairs in New Centropolis often sees protestors outside, some wanting all superhumans locked up, others wanting the DSA to let vigilantes do their jobs. It’s rumoured that opposing sides are more often arriving outside the DSA at the same time, leading to clashes, and some believe that these clashes are being deliberately engineered, perhaps with the intention of staging one large enough that it will make breaking into the DSA easier.
10. Warden Hughes is the only agent of the DSA authorised to use the quantum collapse arch, which is how the DSA stored its prisoners by literally making it so that they don’t exist whilst imprisoned. There are rumours that Hughes is under constant surveillance by other agents, not because he isn’t trusted but because supervillains might choose to kidnap him and force him to use the arch.

The Strange is a game published by Monte Cook Games. It is, at least in part, set in the normal world, but there are other worlds out there, in the Strange. This list has six rumours for that setting, similar to the various different adventure hooks in the books, and these can be used as adventure hooks or simple misinformation.

1. Associate Researcher Calvin Meyers is said to be trying to find out the truth about what happened to Nereus Five. Though he doesn’t seem as interested in the idea of launching an expedition to the station as Chief Researcher Reggie Garner, Meyers does seem curious about what did happen there.
2. Microcosmica’s brain has yet to be discovered, but there are many reputed benefits that could be obtained when it is. It’s said that new technology is being developed in order to try and more easily pinpoint the location of this currently mythical organ.
3. Nereus Two is a mothballed research base in Microcosmica. It’s rumoured that Chief Researcher Reggie Garner is pressing his superiors to get the base reopened, especially since Nereus Five was lost, but is being told that he needs to come up with something to justify the expense of doing so. Dr Garner is reputedly doing his best to find something, anything that will be considered by his superiors to be valuable.
4. The heart is one of the main sources of life in Microcosmica, and getting close to it is hard. It’s rumoured that measurements taken by the Nereus stations over time, now all collected at Nereus One, appear to show that the heart is no longer beating as regularly as it once did.
5. The stomach cavity in Microcosmica produces an acid much stronger than that found in a human stomach, yet the cavity lining is immune to its effects. It’s rumoured that Nereus Five was researching the creation of a submersible made from an artificial form of the stomach lining when it was lost.
6. There are rumours that Nereus Five has recently been spotted in the vicinity of Nereus One, and that there were still lights onboard, suggesting that the station might still be occupied, though automated systems could just as easily be responsible.

The Strange is a game published by Monte Cook Games. It is, at least in part, set in the normal world, but there are other worlds out there, in the Strange. This list has ten rumours for that setting, similar to the various different adventure hooks in the books, and these can be used as adventure hooks or simple misinformation.

1. Bacteria are common in Microcosmica, and are naturally, given the scale of the recursion, significantly more dangerous to recursors than normal bacteria. It’s rumoured that, just like normal bacteria, they can cause illnesses, and that some of these might translate out of the recursion if the recursor isn’t adequately prepared.
2. Chief Researcher Reggie Garner of Nereus One is constantly depressed that the other research bases were all abandoned after what happened to Nereus Five. It’s rumoured that he’s planning a mission to see what did happen, perhaps prodded into doing so by recursors, and that he may be on the verge of having the spark kindled in him.
3. Entering Microcosmica through inapposite means would be disastrous, but the recursion tends to prevent inapposite gates and other forms of inapposite travel. It’s rumoured, though, that some have been attempting to create inapposite gates, though for what reason isn’t known.
4. ImmuneSuppres is a drug that keeps the bad reactions from the quantum miniaturisation process at bay, and those left untreated eventually die and degrade into rotting goo. There are rumours that this goo can take on a life of its own, and that a few bodies of dead researchers are currently roaming the hidden areas of Nereus One as animate protoplasm.
5. Immunologist Helen Rodrigues on Nereus One is one of the few human Microcosmica natives with the spark, though she doesn’t realise this as yet. It’s rumoured that some recursors have been wondering how best to exploit this fact to their own benefit.
6. It’s rumoured that the Karum of Ruk have agents in Microcosmica, because the sort of research done in the recursion and the recursion itself are both compatible with what Ruk is often doing, and that the Karum believe they will gain an advantage back home.
7. Nereus One is the main science base in Microcosmica and the place where recursors usually translate in. It’s rumoured that no-one knows when the base was originally built or who by, and that the first users found it already up and running, though deserted.
8. Nereus Two is one of the other facilities in Microcosmica that was decommissioned after the Nereus Five incident. It’s thought that attempts are being made to get approval to start using Nereus Two again, so that more researchers can be brought it.
9. The main science base in Microcosmica is Nereus One, a massive metal sphere. The station has a torpedo bay, as Microcosmica is regularly unfriendly to outsiders, and it’s rumoured that it has other, hidden, defences should the situation ever truly get out of hand.
10. There are access locks on Nereus One, through which people can enter and leave the station to explore the rest of Microcosmica. It’s rumoured that the station’s computer has been recording these opening and closing when no-one is known to have entered or left.

The Strange is a game published by Monte Cook Games. It is, at least in part, set in the normal world, but there are other worlds out there, in the Strange. This list has ten rumours for that setting, similar to the various different adventure hooks in the books, and these can be used as adventure hooks or simple misinformation.

1. As Ruk also operates under the law of Mad Science, it’s rumoured that some of the factions of Ruk have been dispatching expeditions to Mesozoica. It’s said that the goal of these expeditions is to find some of the lost technology from the fallen serpent people civilisation of the recursion.
2. Captain Marab is the person in charge of Fort Erish when it’s occupied. Somehow, the captain manages to survive every event that forces and evacuation of the fort, events that regularly result in the deaths of some of the traders operating out of it, which has led to questions about just how he is always luckier than everyone else.
3. Earthquakes are not uncommon in Mesozoica and pose a hazard to those in the recursion, but there are rumours that some recursors have claimed that their number and intensity have been increasing. In the Lost World stories on which Mesozoica is based, it’s not uncommon for the Lost World in question to be destroyed shortly after the explorers discover it, and some wonder if this is going to happen to Mesozoica.
4. Fort Erish is a place that has been claimed by traders out of Ardeyn, though they regularly have to abandon the place or be slain by dinosaurs, hominids, poisonous gasses or something else. It’s rumoured that the traders, as their repairs had to be done by brute force as they are unfamiliar with the Weird Science that Mesozoica operates under, have been looking to subcontract some improvements to the defences to those able to work better under the local laws.
5. Mesozoica is home to many creatures that lived during the Mesozoic Era on Earth, namely dinosaurs, as well as some creatures that are anachronistic but also extinct. It’s an island considered to be a Lost World recursion, and there are rumours that a group from Earth want to use it for Jurassic World-style tours, without all the negative bits.
6. Some recursors are planning an expedition to Mesozoica in order to capture some of the creatures, dinosaurs and others, found there and bring them back to Earth. It’s not clear why this is being done, though probably money is at the root of this, whether to get money from selling the creatures or from scientific research done on them.
7. The degenerate remnant remains of a more advanced serpent people culture still live on Mesozoica, but they only have a fraction of the abilities of their forebears. It’s rumoured, though, that an advanced remnant of the original serpent people civilisation still lives on, buried deep beneath the ground.
8. The tar pits are a hazard of Mesozoica that aren’t always visible until too late. There are rumours amongst some recursors that something actively hides some of the tar pits so that the unwary blunder into them and are caught, claiming that there is no other way they could have been missed.
9. There are two types of hominids native to Mesozoica, though they aren’t that advanced, and have no formal language. There are rumours, though, that some clues found at Fort Erish suggest that one or both of the species were responsible for the fort’s original construction.
10. Webs are common in Mesozoica, and some are created by creatures big enough to go head-to-head with a T. rex. It’s rumoured that some of the largest creators of the webs possess a strange, alien intelligence, and may be catching things in their webs for reasons that make sense to them but not to anyone else.

The Strange is a game published by Monte Cook Games. It is, at least in part, set in the normal world, but there are other worlds out there, in the Strange. This list has ten rumours for that setting, similar to the various different adventure hooks in the books, and these can be used as adventure hooks or simple misinformation.

1. Familiars such as black cats can be seen in Forest Hills close to the lairs of the covens that live there. Rumours say that some of these cats and familiars are in fact what’s left of previous interlopers who disturbed the witch covens and paid the price for this.
2. Forest Hills on the outskirts of Halloween is home to several witch covens. There are rumours that a number of the witches have had a falling out with Hazel Jenkins, the witch who owns the House on the Hill, but are limited by her being a Power of the Night.
3. Houses and caves are maintained in Forest Hills, each home to one of the covens in the region. It’s rumoured that there are truly hidden places in which far worse things than the witch covens are lairing, and that encountering such is even more dangerous.
4. It’s rumoured that a new type of monster has recently been seen roaming Halloween, and many suspect that Hazel Jenkins is responsible for it. However, a few suggest that the monsters are unlike anything associated with the witch that’s been seen before, and believe they are something new.
5. Recent turmoil in Forest Hills has apparently made the district even more dangerous to outsiders than normal. It’s rumoured that all sorts of curses and hexes are dotting the landscape now, just waiting for the unwary to blunder into them.
6. Since the Starry Cauldron tried to take power from the Coven of the Rusted Knife in Forest Hills, tensions have been high between all the witch covens in the region. It’s rumoured that they are all currently eyeing each other up to see who might next strike at another of the covens.
7. The Coven of the Rusted Knife is the current Power of the Night that controls Forest Hills in Halloween and recently were the victors of an attempt by the Starry Cauldron to usurp them. The two covens are currently at peace, but it wouldn’t take them much to set them at each other’s throats again, and there are rumours that a third, unknown, coven is hoping to become the Power of the Night by setting the other two against each other.
8. The House on the Hill is a large and rambling house surrounded by extensive grounds that’s larger than some city neighbourhoods. It’s rumoured that the House is continually growing, and that as well as the aboveground areas, there are parts reaching into the depths of the earth below.
9. The Night Watchman is one of Halloween’s Powers of the Night, a ghoul in charge of ensuring the orderly internment of Halloween’s dead. It’s rumoured that the ghoul also has a degree of control over those spirits that he’s managed to properly inter, and can unleash them on others if needed.
10. The various tents, rides and sideshows of the Midnight Circus move around from night to night, only the big top remaining in the same place. It’s rumoured that visitors who are inside one of the other tents and shows when they move disappear, never to be seen again.

The Strange is a game published by Monte Cook Games. It is, at least in part, set in the normal world, but there are other worlds out there, in the Strange. This list has ten rumours for that setting, similar to the various different adventure hooks in the books, and these can be used as adventure hooks or simple misinformation.

1. Gomez Snake is a Power of the Night, the ruler of the Hollows and an information broker who knows about the Strange. It’s rumoured that Gomez will pay well for certain information about other recursions and the Strange itself, as it seems that the Power is looking for something.
2. Halloween’s Graveyard is hardly safe, except for trick-or-treaters or those who have made previous arrangements, but it’s said that many go there anyway. It’s rumoured that buried in some of the graves are powerful items and objects of great wealth, waiting for those willing to risk all.
3. Native trick-or-treaters in Halloween return to their homes when they are not wandering the streets, and it’s rumoured that some of these live in some very strange places, even by the standards of Halloween, rather than in the more common homes that can be found.
4. The Halloween Accords are used by the Powers of the Night to resolve disputes between them. On occasion, this is done through Trial by Monster, which is basically trial by combat to the death, with the different Powers usually fighting through champions rather than themselves. It’s rumoured that some of the Powers have been utilising unusual champions in these recently, champions who seem different to those normally found in the recursion.
5. The Old Hangman Pub in the Hollows is home to Gomez Snake, one of the Powers of the Night and the ruler of the neighbourhood. It’s rumoured that Gomez isn’t the true Power, and that in fact it is the pub itself which rules the neighbourhood, with Gomez merely being its public face through which it interacts with others.
6. The Powers of the Night who rule Halloween follow a set of Accords which limit the chances of the city devolving into bloody chaos. It’s rumoured, though, that there are some currently more minor powers who would love to see the city sink into violence and blood and seek to undermine the Accords any which way they can.
7. The winding streets and dead-end alleys of the Hollows play home to ghosts and pumpkin golems which can indiscriminately attack anything. There are rumours, though, that these attacks are not as indiscriminate as they appear, and that both are controlled by an unknown Power.
8. Those killed in Halloween continue to exist as a spirit which is drawn to the Graveyard. It’s rumoured that there are a number of recursors there who died in the recursion, and it’s said that some have been looking for a way to free the spirits of the dead recursors from the place.
9. Those trick-or-treaters in Halloween who get caught breaking the rules are often subjected to punishment, with some Powers often eating those they catch. It’s rumoured that some Powers have used this as an assassination method; poisoning a trick-or-treater and enthralling them into breaking the rules so that a rival will consume them.
10. Trick-or-treaters in Halloween must burn a candle on their rounds in order to show their status. There are rumours that some candles have recently been blown out through unknown means, putting those who hold the candle at risk, and there are suggestions that someone is attempting to get around the protected status of trick-or-treaters through indirect means.

The Strange is a game published by Monte Cook Games. It is, at least in part, set in the normal world, but there are other worlds out there, in the Strange. This list has ten rumours for that setting, similar to the various different adventure hooks in the books, and these can be used as adventure hooks or simple misinformation.

1. Every month the Schule der Archäologie loses one or two research acolytes to various things, such as curses, leaking spells and psychic residue. It’s rumoured that, despite the definite dangers of the things the Schule is dealing with, some of the acolyte losses are those sacrificed by the curators to further their goals.
2. Reichsführer Himmler, leader of the SS, is known to have no loyalties to anyone but the Führer. However, it’s rumoured that not even this loyalty is genuine, and that Himmler’s only real loyalty is to himself; his apparent loyalty to the Führer is simply because the existence of the latter means that Himmler has a figurehead to hide behind.
3. Rittmeister “Dakota” Hanssen is the man charged with discovering the secrets of the Holy Grail, and he is one of those who ascended; no longer needing sleep meant he was able to accelerate his research on the Grail and some other artefacts, and it’s rumoured that the Rittmeister has since made more discoveries, some of which he has neglected to inform anyone else about.
4. The Armor of Karna supposedly protects the wearer from both mundane and supernatural attacks, and this has proven the case for those wearing the armour; however, when one by an officer of the Reich, said officer perishes. It’s said that the duration before they die increases with each sacrifice, and it’s rumoured that the Schule der Archäologie is looking for a specific something to sacrifice to the armour.
5. The library of the Eleventh Reich’s Schule der Archäologie stores many different books, including many on subjects that, by the strict terms of the Reich, would be banned and should have been burned. It’s said that some of the more fanatical still seek to get these forbidden books destroyed.
6. The Reich’s Schule der Archäologie is reputed to have many mythological objects stored there, although some believe these numbers to be exaggerated. It’s rumoured, though, that the Schule has some relics that are not listed in any of their catalogues; though there are very few of these, they are said to be very dangerous, and dangerous to the Reich itself.
7. The SS is known to have captured at least two recursors, and there are rumours that a special group within it has been set up by Reichsführer Himmler, one whose main purpose is to track all such recursors, with the aim of capturing them and stripping them of any useful items.
8. There are a large number of zombies housed by the Schule der Archäologie, thanks to experiments with the Holy Grail, and there are rumours about these zombies, ranging from them being deliberately made from the Schule’s enemies, to them being an army the Schule is building, to there having been a number of incidents where the zombies escaped and attacked anyone they encountered.
9. Those of the Reich who touch the Spear of Longinus are turned into a burning pillar of flame, and it’s rumoured that the Schule der Archäologie has been collecting the charred remains of these officers, perhaps with the belief that they may have properties all of their own.
10. Waffen-SS soldiers are the largest part of the SS and its armed soldiers, serving as both military and police units in the Reich. It’s rumoured that some of the Waffen-SS are soldiers who are never seen without face-covering gas masks, and that these masks are not to protect the wearers from gas but to hide the fact that’s what’s beneath them isn’t human.
