we have discussed the back-story and interpreted the game in a number of threads - there are certain hard facts, but even though a number of us share our interpretation of those facts, we do not agree.

I would suggest that the majority of those who expressed an opinion thought that the box did NOT contain an antediluvian and was a set-up.
the exact mechanics of the set-up and who was involved is the subject of debate.
the leading contenders are Jack, Gary and Caine.

Jack appears to have been involved in the bomb-plot, Gary always knows more than he lets on and Caine...well, what is THAT all about?

the plot is involved and corners were cut to get it released - perhaps the developers hadn't even decided - it IS just a story.

most people see the game as independent of the PnP game and don't import 'evidence' from the PnP game/books. as with films, game developers don't always stick with the milieu.
