About the Archaic

[Paranormalic]

I have just started the game and I also see reference to Freemasons. The note "Xeno Report" starts with "Anno 9002 (Anno Domini 1992)".
Freemasons have different count, mostly the so called Anno Lucis (Year of Light) and it adds 4004 year to the current year. So 2013 would be Anno Lucis 6017 (other masonic lodges have other year-count though).

In this case however we have Anno Domini (Year of our God - that is the normal, common count) 1992 which is Anno 9002 in the game - 7010 years difference. I presume it is just a fictional reference to masonic count or probably a less known masonic count that exists in real life.
Further in the note (and in the game, as I see) it is mentioned some ranking and circles (Elevated caste, Archaic), which is also typical for the Masonic societies.
