DARLING: August 4, 1964. we discovered the Oldest House while investigating a suspected Altered World Event case in the New York City Subway tunnels. The agents found their way up into the building.
[camera cuts and begins zooming out]
DARLING: Once we became aware of it, it was there. For the rest of the population, it was hiding in plain sight, a slippery blind spot seemingly discouraging observation.
[camera cuts to a zoomed view of Darling]
DARLING: It's a Place of Power, an ongoing AWE of its own, seemingly adhering to its physical outer constraints, and yet constantly breaking the known boundaries of reality, it's unstable and shifting.
[footage flickers and comes back to a zoomed out view of Darling and his posterboard]
DARLING: Note: for more details on Control Points and the research and process to stabilize and secure the core sectors, refer to a separate presentation.
[footage flickers; an image of Hubert and Carla briefly appears]
DARLING: After extensive research and investigation, the Bureau made the building its headquarters on November 13, 1968. The Federal Bureau of Control was never out in the open. This was always an obfuscated, classified, top secret operation.
[footage flickers; a clip of Hubert briefly appears]
DARLING: So imagine our surprise when the building's observation-resistant aspects began, in some unquantifiable way, to affect the Bureau as a whole.
[Darling nods at someone off-screen; footage cuts to a clip of Darling standing in front of his board; FBC jingle, presentation outro]
