It would appear the initial leadership of the project was genuinely interested in protecting Stalburg, and Jeff Walter was under the same impression. Other military officials however were corrupt, and actively used the S.N.W. project as a way to profit and secure control over Stalburg. | ||

The construction project was undertaken by Stalburg Engineering Co., who signed a confidentiality agreement. | ||
Rather than finding willing scientists to develop nuclear weapons, S.N.W. operatives practically kidnapped scientists from Stalburg's Atomic Research Team (including [[Xeander Berg]], co-founder of the [[Bergmann Group]]) to work on the project. The scientists were to be kept in the bunker's accommodation wing next to the laboratory and weren't allowed to contact anyone outside of the project. | Rather than finding willing scientists to develop nuclear weapons, S.N.W. operatives practically kidnapped scientists from Stalburg's Atomic Research Team (including [[Xeander Berg]], co-founder of the [[Bergmann Group]]) to work on the project.

What that 'something' was isn't specific, S.N.W. deemed it worth investigating and discovered what they would call [[SMV|S.M.V.]], forming a smaller scientist team to create biological weapons. The team discovered that the Stalburg's native green mushrooms can cause an invasive disease that causes hallucinations and violent behavior, eventually leading to a slow death. All information regarding S.M.V. was sold to an unknown party. | ||

Following the accident, Xeander Berg and one other scientist managed to escape the bunker. S.N.W. started to search for them with help from the Stalburg police department. Shortly after Berg's escape, something happened that caused a leak of S.M.V. The bunker was immediately evacuated with everything left behind. | Following the accident, Xeander Berg and one other scientist managed to escape the bunker.

All personnel stationed at the nuclear power plant would be assigned new tasks while operatives would keep in contact with the manager to make sure nobody found the control room. S.N.W. continued searching for Berg, but were unable to find him. No consequence came of S.N.W.'s actions for over 30 years. | ||
