Synopsis

The situation at the Beardsley Copper Mining Co. is much more than it seems -- the Beardsley brothers, prospectors who founded the mine, are actually under the sway of a nest of Chthonians which use the area as a breeding site. In return for directing the brothers to larger and larger seams of copper ore, the Mythos creatures receive a diet of human victims (poor miners) and psychic energy. The missing Union organizer was one of these sacrifices.
