WHO ARE WE?
Alex Ludovico is an unorthodox but
brilliant research scientist with degrees in Psychology
and Applied Cosmology. In 1997, a month short of completing
his doctorate thesis Dark Matter, Dark Mind: a Unifying
Theory of Consciousness, he was recruited to work for
the hush-hush Sherwood Research Facility, where he remained
for 8 years.
An ardent believer in the freedoms that can be afforded
us by rational thought, Ludovico’s rejection of
prevailing paradigms and dogmas puts him in direct conflict
with not only hidebound, skeptic scientists who deny
the validity of his work, but also his powerful former
employers who do not.

By any measure, Richard Goodwin
is a talented and unusual man – profoundly supernormal,
seemingly from birth, Goodwin has donated his remarkable
gifts to the service of humanity. In 1999, while working
as a celebrated private reader and in-demand commercial
consultant, he was recruited to work for the aforementioned
S.R.F.; within three months, he was its star test-subject.
With little faith in that most enduring of human illusions,
individuality, Goodwin’s gifts take him through
such artificial boundaries, to places where there is
no place, and to times when there is no time.

In the summer of 2005, while working
on their unofficial BABEL PROJECT ZERO, Ludovico and
Goodwin made a series of shocking discoveries that left
both of them in considerable danger. Aware of this,
they made good their escape and have used their respective
abilities to evade capture, ever since.
But a word of warning – you will not find the
names Alex Ludovico and Richard Goodwin extant in any
public record; the details of both of their lives have
been entirely expunged, so as to undermine their integrity
and discredit their ongoing and vital work.
