Is the Large Hadron Collider dangerous? One scientist thinks so...

Looking for some information on what the Large Hadron Collider actually is and why they built it in the first place? Here's an informational video from back in 2007, when the LHC was still being constructed...

Our resident artist, Brad Cooper, has just completed the creation of the official unit patch worn by all of the HELLstalker teams attached to Project Cerberus.

See that funky looking code above?

Over the next several months you are going to be seeing a lot more of them on this website and in the various promotional materials we create to support HELLstalkers.  When you see them, you know some cool, new stuff is available with regard to the HELLstalkers experience!

What, exactly, is it, you ask?  It's called a Quick Response Code or QR code for short and it is a way of delivering content via a mobile network.  You see, most new generation smartphones come with a built-in QR Reader.  By taking a picture of the image through your cellphone's camera when the reader is running, you can have that content automatically delivered to your phone at the touch of a button.  It can link you to a new website.   It can send you a special text message.  It can deliver an  image or an mp3 file or...the possibilities are endless.

From time to time you'll see a QR code appear on this site.  Maybe it will be in a post like the one above.  Or embedded in an illustration.  Or on a banner.  Or a widget.  Or in a twitter message...you never know when one of these will pop up.  Each time they do, however, you can bet that there is something really cool on the other end.

Sometimes we'll be using them to deliver a special message directly to our fans, like information on appearances or special discounts on HELLstalker merchandise. Other times they'll contain exclusive content you can't get anywhere else - maybe background information on one of the characters or organizations that appear in the books, clues to what lies ahead in the story itself, or even audio and video files sent in from HELLstalker units around the world.

Get prepared now so you don't miss out on any of the cool stuff later!

If you don’t have a QR Reader on your phone, you can get one for the iPhone at http://www.apptism.com/apps/quickmark-lite.  QR Code readers for other types of phones can be found at http://www.mobile-barcodes.com/qr-code-software/

(If you are looking to test it out, the QR code above will take you to this website.  For now, at least...)

On December 5th, scientists at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland ran a short test on the newly completed Large Hadron Collider.  For that brief period, protons swarmed back and forth along the seventeen miles of carefully constructed tunnel and slammed into each other with devastating force, generating power the likes of which had not been seen since the moment of the Big Bang.

Just a few short hours.

That was all it took for our world to be invaded.

My name is Captain Memphis Stone, commander of the Hellstalkers, the armed response unit hastily assembled to face this growing threat.

This is the story of the men and women under my command, those who stand in the gap and shed their blood to protect the rest of humanity from creatures that we never imagined we’d ever face, not even in our darkest dreams.

Welcome to the front lines.
