Agent Jiutai picked up a hitchhiker, described as a caracal gentleman of considerable age and frailty: he was borderline skeletal and suffered from a drastic lack of strength, yet moved with grace and purpose, even speed. Jiutai reported that his eyes, sunken and dull with near blindness, remained attentive, as did his ears, and the two spoke at length during the trip. The old man, who failed to provide a name, spoke of his children, long since passed, who used to work in the area as farmers, \"before the grass dried up and the trees died”. Conversation had turned sour when the man mentioned local \"royalty\" putting an end to his sons \"on the ends of rope tied to the branches of what would, one day, be the withered, dry husks of once flourishing trees\". The agent, suspicious of the man's antiquated speech, mentioned some recent events and media, and was surprised to find that the old man was well-versed in recent films: mentioning that he greatly looked forward to the upcoming [i]Sea of Sand[/i] anthology film. Agent Jiutai reached the destination of his passenger: an ancient gas station, seemingly abandoned, with no apparent electricity. The two wished each other a good night and Jiutai was momentarily distracted by a passing vehicle. When he looked back, there was no trace of the old man.\n\n\n[b]Secret Agent Gedat Rakkin's [/b]recent exposure to bizarre sphere-headed beings in the Dreamscape realm has had dire side effects as, in the middle of the month, staff at our on-site domestic quarters reported that the agent awoke as one of these creatures: his head replaced by silver, featureless sphere, body fur replaced with pale, smooth skin. Security cameras show no evidence of a replacement or transformation. A review of digital film indicates that Rakkin became as he is now while briefly out of sight of cameras, well before retiring to his quarters, despite no agents reporting anything unusual at the time. Rakkin, if this is the original agent, seems mostly unresponsive to verbal communication. Quarantined to his sleeping quarters, the figure, still dressed in Rakkin's nightclothes, spent a day curiously examining the apartment around him, gently inspecting and touching various objects, spending a considerable amount of time with anything that seemed to hold sentimental value to Rakkin's old life. No solution has yet been proposed, as careful care is being taken with the agent in the chance that he is contagious.\n\n\n[b]Secret Agent Cat Zirka [/b]spent much of the month conducting experimental research with a new type of sensory deprivation chamber which substitutes a dark vat of water for a special suit lifted by magnets. Several sessions were spent in absolute silence and darkness, which eventually created harmless visual hallucinations, not dissimilar to descriptions of Charles Bonnet Syndrome. Several more sessions were undertaken, and the agent reported hallucinations of increasing depth and detail: starting as swirls of color and shape, then cartoon figures, finally involving lurid, abstract landscapes. It was during these final hallucinations that Zirka reported more thorough 'vision quests', with sounds, sensation, even smell. Her final hallucination in the study was recorded as follows: after an hour in darkness and silence, Cat \"awoke\" in a moon-lit field of reflective white flowers. She felt herself moving, walking, through the vast field for what felt like many hours until she discovered an endless, silvery ocean, rippling and crashing with waves. The waves slowly died down as the tide began to recede and, on the ash-black shore of this ocean, Cat believes she saw a body: the body of an adult female feline, prone on the beach. Her last memory of this hallucination (and indeed her last hallucination after bringing the research to an abrupt halt) was pushing the body over onto its back, revealing her own face staring up at her: eyeless, bloated with sea water, with her skin sagging off her dead body.\n\n\n[b]Senior Agent Wheaton Adams [/b]was sent to investigate sightings of a religious figure which appeared in naturally occurring flora. Saint Ajax, a major saint in the canon of The Church of One, is known for his distinctly lopsided appearance, his missing right ear mirroring the asymmetrical, broken fork that is the religion's major symbol. A news site local to the Greek city of Lamia wrote about sightings of a one-eared figure in a clump of vines and foliage that had grown across an electric pole. Upon arrival, Agent Adams found that a large gathering of the devout had already encircled the growth with tiny shrines and offerings, all praying to the vision of their revered saint in the invasive vine species. The agent reports that although they did find the image quite striking upon first glance, he could detect nothing especially unusual about the apparition: no out-of-place energy readings or evidence of handmade intent. However, upon review of some still photographs, he notes that the head of the figure in vines did appear to move, almost turning and looking around, despite it being a windless day.\n\n\n[b]Special Agent Chaz Gates[/b] tracked down the reported remains of a pair of mysterious skeletons discovered in the early 1900s in the American midwest. Stories, long since declared misreported or entirely fabricated, prevalent over the last hundred years that a pair of eight foot tall anthropoid skeletons had been discovered in a collapsed cave. The bones, once thought lost, had been rediscovered by historian Joseph Adler, who was eager to show Agent Gates. According to Gates's reasoning, the bones seemed entirely authentic. Dated around 1200 BCE, these skeletons are far taller than the average at the time, but far more striking is that these apparently canid skeletons possessed dramatic curved horns extending from the foreheads and backs, which match no known species. Overnight, Agent Gates heard a scuffle and had to break into Adler's office: she found him hunched over, injured and covered in blood. Gates reports that his skin and fur were stretched and pulled tight, as if wrapped around too large a form, and that long, curled horns had burst their way out of his skull. Adler attacked Gates, gibbering wordlessly, but she managed to escape and eventually subdue the creature. Upon further examination of the office, a smaller skeleton matching Adler's species, covered in fresh blood, was found hidden in the office bathroom. By her account, it seemed as if Joseph Adler's skeleton had somehow been replaced by one of the horned skeletons he had found. An SIU crew has been sent for clean up, but all agents report that the second horned skeleton has never been found.\n\n\n[b]Special Agent Arukino[/b] stayed on site at the McKellen Castle this month, determined not to return without evidence of the fairies he had witnessed prior. With modern digital photography failing him, Arukino went through great lengths to acquire various older cameras still using physical film, including a 1910 brand which was used in the staging of a certain famous set of \"fairy photographs\" which caught international fame at the time. After several nights of sneaking around the castle, hiding, and laying, he assured HQ, harmless \"fairy traps\" (to the great amusement, but mild annoyance of local staff and family) luck seemed to evade the agent, with sightings growing more sparse. Finally, on the last night of his visit before being recalled to HQ, Agent Arukino reportedly snapped a single clear photograph of a fairy at a distance, as he was leaving the castle. Upon getting home and extracting the vintage film for development, however, the agent found that the internal mechanisms of his camera had been entirely replaced by flower petals. Whether this final prank was played by castle residents or mischievous faefolk has yet to be determined.\n\n\n[b]Special Agent Kouroth[/b] was summoned to southern Australia to investigate reports of living creatures being found encased in solid stone. A large construction project has required the moving and breaking of several large limestone blocks; when one especially large block was cracked in half, workers were surprised to find a small hallow, out of which hopped a live frog. By all accounts, this small cavern (less than a foot in total volume) had no entrance or exit, and thus there was no way for a creature to enter the space. Upon arrival, Agent Kouroth witnessed further small “bubbles” inside the rock being cracked open, only for frogs, snakes, and one bat to escape from them. Examinations of the creatures reveal them to be very ordinary examples of local fauna. The agent was hurriedly called to a nearby site as workers, cracking through another stone, had excavated a man from the cavity in a rock: a well‑dressed hedgehog whose outfit suggested the fashion of 1930s France. A doctor was on site and quickly examined the man, finding him to be in fine health, if slightly malnourished and having poor dental health. With the agent having learned some french when Agent Jiutai's primary language was entirely replaced, Kouroth was able to ascertain that the man had fallen asleep in a pub in his home village after a night of drinking and simply woke up in the stone as workers opened it. The hedgehog is being detained for further questions and examination.\n\n\n[b]Special Agent Neo [/b]spent the month doing light work around HQ as his poltergeist passenger was being examined and experimented on. He spent some of this downtime exploring the obscure and surreal 1999 video game, [i]A.N.N.O. [/i]This abstract and non-linear exploration game has evaded proper explanation for decades, as the sole programmer mysteriously disappeared shortly after its limited Japanese release. After several late nights of playing and taking notes, Neo noticed strange behavior around his room: his poltergeist had returned and was starting to shift objects around. Agent Neo offered the second controller of the video game console to the poltergeist and, to his surprise, the ancient, spectral poltergeist joined in and played the game with him. With his ethereal gaming companion, Neo was able to continue his work with extensive notes gathered pertaining to a set of clues from secret in-game letters, maps, and coordinates. The examination of these clues lead Neo to extrapolate a specific location in a Japanese forest. Covert contact was made to Japanese authorities, who followed the trail, and reported that a body was found matching the description of the game's sole programmer. Most curiously, however, is that examiners report the body was not the victim of suicide, as would be assumed by the elaborate note, but instead shows signs of aggravated assault and murder. It may be impossible, given the span of time, to discover the murderer, but it appears that they buried the body deep in a forest, in the exact, specific location described in the programmer's game, written before his death.\n \n\n[url=http://www.postybirb.com]Posted using PostyBirb[/url]", "description_bbcode_parsed": "Got a little overly verbose with a few of these, oops...
