conversations.value: December, 1960 - The coldest days of the Cold War. America and Russia are butting heads over everything. Berlin, Korea, the Suez Canal, missiles, planes, trains, rockets, computers, even space. Both sides are looking for an edge, something that will put them over. They both see the other side as a dangerous menace, and they are willing to do almost anything to snuff them out.
  ********
  We'll begin our story with a group of specialists, armed with varying skills, true cold warriors. Create your characters as you see fit, with any nationality, background, or political affiliation. But keep in mind that the beginning of the story will see you all working together for one agency.
  
  Our story is rooted in history, but that won't stop us from engaging in the unreal and fantastic. Like I said earlier, they will do ANYTHING to get an edge, up to and including bending the natural laws of the world.
