Steppenwolf: The X-Creatures Project - Plot - The Mokele Mbembe

The Mokele Mbembe

The game starts off in the a newspaper company called the Daily Tribute, in the office of McAlistair who is the boss of Meg, a reporter for the "World Geographical Magazine". Meg, rushing in, tells McAlistair that she was quitting her job, until he mentions her next assignment, which was to become a host of a geographical project surrounding mythical creatures, the first assignment being to search for the Mokele Mbembe, and find the mysterious "Steppenwolf", a paleo-biologist and a self-proclaimed expert in the study of mythical animals, who resides in the African Jungles. Hearing this, Meg accepts and decides to keep her job. After she leaves, McAlistair reaches for his phone, and says "It's all coming according to plan", which might indicate that it was all a set up.

Meg meets a veteran cameraman by the name of Derek Murphy, her assistant, on the way to Kisangani Harbor. While on a barge making their way up the Congo River, Meg and her crew are ambushed by natives. Meg and Derek manage to abandon ship, but before they could escape, they are knocked out by sleeping powder thrown by the natives. Meg wakes up in the tribal village a few moments after, however, Derek is nowhere to be seen. With the help of a prisoner, Meg learns that the queen of the tribe plans to sacrifice Derek, and manages to escape the natives without him. Derek, blindfolded, is later shown held captive. When his blindfold is removed, Derek sees the Queen wielding a knife. In the distance, Meg hears his scream, and disembarks the boat to find him. Searching the swamps and marshlands, Meg discovers what appears to be a sacred tree alter, and shortly after, meets a blonde man with long hair and tattoos nearby, who tells her to remain silent. He throws Meg aside, and Meg is about to question him, but is silenced by the sudden approach of the Mokele Mbembe. Derek is then seen tied up on top of a tree, and it becomes clear that the tribe plans to sacrifice him to the Mokele Mbembe. Steppenwolf makes his way into the jungle, luring the Mokele Mbemebe with him, while Meg frees Derek. Steppenwolf knocks the Mokele Mbembe out with a soporific potion. Derek is seen injecting a syringe into the monster after it was knocked out, collecting a sample of its blood, and at this point it is revealed that the blonde man is Steppenwolf. Derek leaves the sample in the hole of a tree, and later, the captain is shown collecting the blood sample, which shows that there is much more going in than simply just the project.
