Return to Danger Hintbook Lore

Welcome to your nightmare!
You’re leaning your back against a cold hard wall, with your fist clenching your chaingun so tightly that your knuckles are white. You’re soaked with sweat and the heat of your body is evaporating it, causing steam to drift around the corner giving a clue to your presence. You’re exhausted but you know you can’t risk resting – not yet! You inch slowly to the corner, then peer around cautiously… a guard spots you! You both raise your weapons! RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!!!
… RING … RING … RING …
The phone wakes you… it was a dream… or rather a nightmare – another flashback to your ordeal at Castle Nuremburg.
… RING … RING … RING …
Still groggy you pick up the phone…
“Uh… yeah… who is it?”
“Hello, B.J. Blazkowicz?”
“Yes.”
“This is Admiral Powell of the United States Navy. Listen B.J., we need your help.”
“What is it, Admiral?”
“Hitler has recaptured the Spear! We’ve already lost 3 intelligence agents trying to infiltrate his headquarters. B.J., you’re the only one who can help us now!”
Your mind is flooded with thoughts. It’s been over a year since you ve been back. You thought it was over. You’ve put you life on the line and now it was all for nothing!
NO!!!
Hitler’s henchmen stole the Spear from American soil – NOW IT’S PERSONAL!!! The Spear must be regained!
“I’ll do it Admiral!!!”
Return to Danger!
At the end of SPEAR OF DESTINY Mission 1, B.J. captured the Spear of Destiny and returned it to the U.S. where it was kept under tight security.
Hitler, desperate for the Spear, sent Major Hans “The Axe” van Schlieffen and a group of Storm Troopers to the U.S. to regain the Spear and the power he seeks.
After a bloody battle, only Hans manages to narrowly escape and make it back alive, with the Spear, to the Nazi’s Secret Scandinavian Base.
Hitler had the new base built to carry out Atomic Research! The Atomic Research Lab is excavated from solid rock in a Scandinavian fjord, accessible only by submarine.
The U.S. Navy has arranged to take B.J. to the fjord, but underwater mines prevent them from taking him to the base. Instead B.J. is outfitted with scuba gear and will have to swim into the submarine pen to gain access to the base. Two naval frogmen accompany B.J. to within 100 yards of the base. Now it’s all up to him!
While several U.S. intelligence agents were killed in the attempt, the allied spy network has discovered that the Spear of Destiny is located on the uppermost floor of the Research Lab, and is closely guarded. Proof of an Atomic Research Lab was also found.
