Diamond of the Sky God

Reports have come in all over the EU news channels that the British Museum has recovered a large cut gemstone from an old tomb some days ago. The gem is said to hold massive significance to Egyptian and Arabian culture, believing that whoever holds it will be given the powers of the gods. Although the artifact is under the care of the museum it is not being displayed, however, the museum has pointed out that they will happily allow tours of their other much more interesting exhibits instead.

"This find will be an excellent collection for the museum, we will be working to restore the diamond to its former glory however we can't display it due to both concerns of possible theft as well as our wish to keep relics like this in a well-controlled environment. But we are more than willing to give out tours of our upcoming fossil exhibits for free to the public." said a spokesperson for the British Museum in a short interview.

Tiger Lily Gang on the Rise in Mexico!

"After a disturbing event involving an apartment massacre involving a local gang, The Tiger Lily, reports show that the targeted gang has begun ramping up operations across the Southern North American country."

The Boston Third Herald reports—The Crimson Scare

Keep an eye out citizens, for the “Azure Witch”.

(A photo is shown of a Russian woman with blond highlights, standing on a smoking motorcycle crackling with electricity standing on top of a smoking car, with an unconscious man at the wheel of this vehicle under the cracked and crumpled windshield, captioned the Azure Witch). 

This suspected Russian spy disrupted a Black Veil Brides concert last weekend, landing from the top of Millenium Tower onto the busy street below. 

John Kashmere lies hospitalized because of her heinous actions. 

It seems that Russia has sent spies into our great nation for the first time since the Cold War…keep an eye out, America!

Deleware Ohio Disappearances

A local news channel has been running a cycle detailing the following:

"Gregory Jefferies, Ezekiel Medez, Orlanzo Gonzalas, Nathan Mendel, Emil Derenger, and Oliver Williams have all gone missing after being last seen working at a local train yard. These six men were last seen on March 12th at 8:30 pm, traffic cameras would indicate that they were meeting here around said time, and from what could be seen no other witnesses have come forward."

"This is only days after a father, uncle, and daughter were found dead in their home. Its been reported that the father and uncle were attacked with a bladed weapon while the 7-year-old daughter was forced into taking drugs and overdosed on them. Investigations have begun for the killing spree that has seemingly cropped up in Ohio."

The broadcast would show the faces of these men, all showing tattoos and indications of gang affiliation, overall though the report would only take up around 40 seconds of air time before they would switch over to something about American football.

New jetsuit? Comments say AI generated

Youtube:  'Crane Industries New Flightsuit':  12.3k views, 61% liked

[The youtube  video, with a loud soundtrack, demonstrates the new Crane Industries flight suit.  However, a large number of comments on the video say that it is AI generated, with the device on display having no real chance of working - it nearly completely lacks a fuel source.  It looks slicker than the competitors, but without any fuel tanks, it's ridiculous to think that it works]

"Look, I know that the video is cool and all, right?  But besides the fact that it's obviously not a feasible design, you can see at 2:07 the light is all wrong..."

Gen-Wyld Facility in Texas Expands - Cedar Lane Herald

Cedar Lane, Texas

Texas Governor Greg Abbot signed a new set of tax breaks for Gen-Wyld earlier today, leading to the company announcing plans to further expand its facility outside of Cedar Lane.  The sprawling facility is a major provider of jobs for the nearby towns, and is just another way that Texas is committed to the future. 

The Governor had this to say:  "With Gen-Wyld's promises to add to the lab complexes there, we're expecting hundreds of new, permanent jobs - and thousands during construction.  I am proud to have made this happen."

The complex, nearly thirty five years old, was originally a major controversy at the time. Today, the complex is now the major provider of jobs in the area, and Gen-Wyld wields an incredible amount of political clout in the area.  Reports of 'abominations' in the labs there were proven to be frauds by the protestors against the facility - today, we're all happy to have the money they inject into our communities.

Kidnapping caught on tape

Jimmy the Ferret has gone viral, but not in the way he wanted. A budding YouTuber made famous for his Parkour and seemingly impossible feats of dexterity has been kidnapped. How do we know? The act was caught on film! His last post, loaded by his girlfriend Jamie Rennelds, was posted as a cry for help, after calls to the police and extensive questions. Little is being done by the NYPB, as both Jimmy and Jamie are among the multitudes of homeless within the big city. 

*a link to the YouTube video is included. It shows the a teen boy running along roof tops, springing along balconies, and sliding down fire escapes. It is all very impressive, but not necessarily supernatural. In a distant leap from a balcony to a rooftop, the camera catches sight of a bawling ball size black ball slam onto him in mid air. The impact, plus his own starting velocity, carries him past where he intended, dropping him onto the roof beyond view of the camera. There is a couple minutes of Jamie screaming and running to the roof Jimmy landed on, but finding nothing there.*

New mandela effect?

In recent reports, a new Mandela effect has been noted and rumored on the internet, just recently discussed about! Many history enthusiast swears by the fact that the first ever jet prototype was discovered and discussed about in 1938-1939 and was made by a English man in Germany. Yet history books and documentation says otherwise. The jet was built and utilized as a prototype for the first time in 1942 instead! 

In other news, along the pacific ocean, myths of UFO have surged once again for some odd reason, along the coast of Bora Bora and Honolulu, there are documents and old reports discovered from the 1930's that state they witnessed a UFO appearing over the shoreline!

Strange Residue found at the Monacle Cafe!

The Sun Daily Issue

The Monacle Cafe has recently been shut down due to health code violations. A persistent mold has been found on site of the restaurant, and the owner, one Dan Artsmuth, has claimed “no amount of scrubbing would get rid of it. It kept growing.”

|Images follow, of a boarded up cafe that has a virulent green mold growing out from between the boards.|

This devil slime, as residents have christened it has made Blandford street  degraded and uninhabitable. Recently Shreeji Newsagents has also closed its doors. If it isn’t stopped, many more businesses will follow in its wake. What happened to bring this mold to a once venerated shopping district? To find out more, check out our Q&A column with Dan Artsmuth.

[A Q&A column follows, claiming that after a day where the shop was closed on the weekend, the mold appeared, and just kept growing. And growing. First in the main lobby, and then into the kitchen. When it got into the kitchen, they had to close the place up. Artsmuth remorses that he can’t even sell the place, Now that the mold has ruined the value of the property. Artsmuth blames Customs, for not checking what organic materials tourists are allowed to cross the border with stringently enough, and bemoans what tourists are doing to London]

Three Separate Miracles: Astronomical Coincidence or More?

Over the course of the past month, many in the Lower Mainland and north-west Washington have been finding their acquaintance, friend, or perhaps even family suddenly and drastically undergo physical restoration.

Currently four individuals have been proven to have had their body parts returned and discovered by a widespread audience, an apparent alteration to them and their life. Three separate stories have been shared to the public, with the fourth and most recent person known keeping quiet.

The oldest known person to undergo their respective event is Thomas Fredrick, a 23 year old college student who just recently claims to have been visited by a glowing figure in their dreams and woke up with their arm regrown. Subsequently, a week later, Amelia Herbert, 40 year old engineer, is found with their glass eye replaced with a real one. She asserts that she was approached by a group of suited individuals who offered to regrow her eye for a hefty sum. Sharing this story is the sister of Amelia, Emily Herbert, whose burn scars vanish the same day. A veteran, who wishes to remain anonymous is found no longer paralyzed days later but reveals nothing regarding how this came to be.

Breaking News

   An article appears in all of the international newspapers. The highlight is...

   "The United States government has offered Japan an option to clean up the ocean. They have devised a way to eliminate the Kaiju poison from the water in months instead of years. No details on how much this will cost the Japanese government, but the world is hopeful. the construction of large facilities on the coast has begun, assumably to facilitate the toxic extraction. Hopefully we will learn more. The name of who the responsible party for this discovery is unknown, but know that we are thankful."

CI Blows Murder Case Wide Open

Local Texas news stations are running stories on a crime syndicate murder spree, and the sudden and mysterious death of the primary suspect.

With the aid of a confidential informant, local police and the FBI were able to apprehend a murderer with connections to organized crime, as well as his accomplices from beyond the border. As part of the joint effort, millions of dollars worth of drugs and assets were seized in connection with the gruesome crimes.

The murderer, who was awaiting trial for further crimes under a protective detail, was found dead in his cell of an apparent heart attack. Investigations regarding the circumstances of his death have stalled, but inquiries into his criminal accomplices continue.

The Battle of The Titans: Brave Heroes Help Save Japan From Clashing Kaijus

[The following is a compilation of breaking news which can be found from a number of different platforms, stations, articles, reports, etc.]

————————————————————————————————————————————————

BREAKING NEWS: TITANS CLASH OFF THE COAST OF JAPAN

BRAVE HEROES ARISE TO INTERVENE AND HELP SAVE THE DAY

————————————————————————————————————————————————

PRELUDE TO THE CHAOS

Last night, myth became reality when two behemoth Kaijus fought one another off the coast of Japan, shaking the nation like a catastrophic natural disaster sent from the heavens. A colossal IMMORTAL JELLYFISH battled with a mysterious MECHA MEGALODON in what many theorized to be some form of territorial dispute over Japan-- though a variety of sources report differing/conflicting reasonings behind the two monsters fighting. Nonetheless...

Though the consequences of their collision was initially indeterminate, it was soon established that the raw impact of their battle would result in mass destruction across Japan's coasts-- creating tsunamis, shaking the earth, and collateral damage everywhere. Civilians were swiftly ordered to evacuate, but given the sudden arrival of these creatures, only so much could be done in time. Citizens all around Japan could only watch in suspense as the Kaijus drew closer, threatening to potentially even reach the mainland if uninterrupted.

———————————————————————————————————————————

HEROES RUSH TO THE SCENE

[Shaky footage from the perspective of a distant news helicopter depicts the ensuing battle.]

[The scene is total chaos-- aircrafts being pulled from the sky by massive Jellyfish tentacles to slam into the Megalodon, while turret fire from its mechanical armor sprays all around the area. Tidal waves coalesce into miniature tsunamis which crash into the bloodied, murky waters, and just as a tentacle is about to reach and grab the POV's helicopter from the air...]

***CRASH!!!!!***

MARK COLLINS LAUNCHES HIMSELF THROUGH THE AIR AND INTO THE TENTACLE, SLAMMING IT AWAY!!!

[Renowned Kraken Killer and superhero from the United States, Mark Collins lands onto some sort of slick, 1980's car somehow driving over the waters. The vehicle can be seen navigating through the crashing waves and chaos of the fight, like a calm in the eye of the storm. Piloting the car is a young Japanese man in humble coveralls, accompanied by what appears to be world famous chef Bu Fang-- who occasionally flies around the Jellyfish to support Mark and the driver.]

According to some sources (namely American news stations), Mark Collins immediately volunteered to fly to Japan and aid in the crisis the moment the news broke out. Thanks to his efforts, many now dub him as the 'Kaiju Killer,' an upgrade from his former title of 'Kraken Killer.' Officials are citing his appearance as a representation of the strengthening bond between American and Japanese governments in the modern age.

The individuals helping Mark were discovered to be one 'Kurigo "Oz" Osikawa,' a car mechanic based in San Francisco, and famous chef Bu Fang-- who, recently, was seen to have self-immolated himself in Dubai. The two are similarly receiving praise for their actions, though a hint of controversy seems to mark Bu Fang's now confirmed supernatural history.

———————————————————————————————————————————

THE LANTERN SLAYER

[The perspective shifts from live footage to an animated, dramatized version of the fight, produced by Ufotable, Inc.]

[In the center of the composition, the sinking silhouette of the massive Mecha-Megalodon reveals the bright, rising sun in the background-- granting a dramatic, stylized lighting to the scene. Mark Collins, channeling all of his remaining strength and heroism, drags the monster underwater with his fists lodged into its armor. Just before he sinks to the bottom with it, he turns to face the shores and gives one final, trusting look towards our hero, Oz Osikawa.]

[The young, humble Japanese man looks out to sea, a sense of relief washing over him. They had done it-- the Immortal Jellyfish had fled from the scene, and Mark managed to bring down the Megalodon with his help. It's strikingly calm, peaceful, but only for a moment. The camera cuts to familiar tentacles, menacingly emerging from the waters and approaching the shore again. The Immortal Jellyfish is alive, and looking for vengeance.]

[In that moment, suspense fills the air. The Japanese Navy begins engaging with the Kaiju, but the outcome of the fight is uncertain. With Mark Collins defeated with the Megalodon, Oz realizes that it's up to him to finish the fight. He's exhausted, wary, and worn from all of the heroics thus far-- but that doesn't stop his spirit. He looks behind him, towards his homeland, and realizes what he must protect.]

[An inspiring insert song begins to play as Oz drives forward, steadfast. Using his powers to repair a nearby fishing boat, he navigates through the crashing waves, deftly weaving in between the tentacles and battleships in a spectacular, continuous shot of animation. Reaching the center of the battle and eyeing the Jellyfish with a fierce determination, the music reaches a climax as he drives the boat straight through the Kaiju-- the impact and momentum flourished beautifully by a trail of stunning, colorful lights behind him.]

[Oz passes out as he crashes into the ocean, peace washing over him once again. As the Navy lifts him out of the waters and carries him above their shoulders, the camera faces his raised body pointed towards the sky. It slowly begins to pan outward, showcasing the scale of the battle. A faint smile marks the Japanese man's face. He's done it. The Kaiju has been slayed by his hand. Japan is safe.]

———————————————————————————————————————————

THE TITANS ARE DEFEATED!

Thanks to the combined heroics of American superhero Mark Collins, the Japanese Navy, and national hero Kurigo "Oz" Osikawa (plus Bu Fang according to most non-Japanese sources), the two Kaijus were both defeated before they could go further than the coast of Japan. As such, no civilian casualties have been reported thanks to the aforementioned evacuation orders.

Oz, in particular, has received immense commemorations from the public since the fight. Like a hero ripped straight from mythology, Oz bravely charged his vessel straight through the body of the Immortal Jellyfish, saving countless lives in the process. Consequently, he has now earned the title of the 'Lantern Slayer' among both Japanese and overseas fans, as well as an anime adaptation of his heroics and a ceremonial sword officially given to him by the Japanese government.

Bu Fang, on the other hand, seems to have some mixed reception towards his help. Though many are still praising the chef for helping the heroes, recent controversy and the lack of much spotlight from Japanese reporting has limited how positively people view his help. Nonetheless, his restaurant has seen a tremendous boom in interest thanks to all of his actions.

However, Japan is still in the process of recovering from the impact of the fight. With the coast ravaged by the destruction of the Kaijus, much work still needs to be done. Specifically, the blood of the Kaijus seems to have polluted the waters, resulting in a deadly toxin that is reportedly being collected and sold on the black market. The government, ecologists and volunteer groups continue to work hard to restore Japan’s overall health.

Armored Military Truck Convoy Spotted Heading Towards California Valley

An Online Cryptoleak video from a shaky dashcam shows a line of boxy, metallic trucks driving down California's beautiful sunny expressways in a neat line of 7. 

The voice of a nervous young man commentates,
"This is crazy! Area 51 is supposed to be in Nevada, but today folks I've spotted a military convoy making its way out of Death Valley. I'm not sure if there's a base there, but I think there might be. So, I'm calling out to all my fellow truth seekers out there. I want you to join me in checking out Death Valley next week. If there's a base, we're finding it! Don't forget to like and subscribe to Jayven's Truth.
I'm signing off, don't forget to follow your heart, and distrust the government."

The video clicks off with a radical sound clip from one of the Tony Hawk games.

The Easthaven Killings

In a news report, a reporter will be going over the details of a small court case that happened almost a few months ago regarding Tatalov Erving, a man detained in a large case involving at least 8 or so dead people found around him when police arrived. The case details will show that the many people in this group attacked Tatalov and a small child that was with them at the time, the footage was very vague but it clearly showed the group mobbing around them and aiming to do physical harm. 

Outside of this, the man was placed on charges of manslaughter, assault, excessive force, and disorderly conduct. However many of the charges would be dropped due to the amazing attorney he had and using accusations of those in the mob being related to the Sons of Salem, not to mention it was done in self-defense. After 6 months of court proceedings, the man would be released from prison after serving his time and doing community service.

Issac Norton II Illuminated, Asks Public for San Francisco District Attorney Position!

"Yes, Kyle, behind me you can see an informal procession making its way down the San Francisco streets..."

The camera pans to the now massive crowd of citizens---including what appears to be nine tall sci-fi soldiers covered in armor from head to toe and two dogs--following behind and around a handsome man with curling brown hear who wears absolutely absurd imperial regalia (including epaulets, a tail coat, and a feathered top hat): Issac Norton the II. Walking close behind Norton is a notorious individual, his face uncovered now and a fabric mask in his hands. He is a handsome Asian man with dark green hair and pale skin wearing a suit and a pair of red glasses with a cigarette in his mouth, and the public recognizes him to be Quadir Quest (or Q).

"This is not a riot; it's a peaceful protest. The crowd is apparently embarking on a one-mile trek to city hall to file a petition for a special vote recalling current District Attorney--"

The attractive reporter gets cut off by Norton talking in the background, his words which cannot be ignored by the eyewitnesses and the distant viewers alike:

"Pollution, nay even deliberate Eco-Cide is a crime against all inhabitants of this, our shared planet! To think one would make such an assault on the cradle of all life as we know it in abhorrent to all right thinking Americans - are we not to be Good Stewards of Eden? If We become District Attorney, we will mobilize a task force to bring this fiend to justice!"

Norton pauses, perhaps to take a breath or perhaps listing to one of his constituents, giving the reporter a moment to continue: "This follows an event that completely stunned San Franciscans," she holds up a paper--a message from Norton. The camera zooms in on it, showing the sketch of the mask and handwriting below it. "Where somehow his Highness sent this message calling for a lost mask to be returned to its rightful owner to every living thing in the city, possibly explaining the sudden rise in auto accidents..." 

As the reporter speaks, the camera zooms out to take in the surrounding area. Perfect copies of the paper blow down the urban streets in the wind, are caught in bushes and tree branches, and are all over the ground. In fact, nearly everyone in the crowd is holding a paper or has it poking out of their pockets and purses. As Norton speaks again, the camera focuses on him:

"We live in times when giant octopi assault the Bay! Where disease is nearly as rampant as the wearisome burden of inequality & hatred that haunts the hearts of Humankind! As DA we will reform the justice system, abolish punitive prisons, rehabilitate the misguided, & secure our borders against Jellyfish, Kraken, & Robot Sharks! Only when these goals are achieved will We handpick a successor to the role & return to our official capacity as Sovereign!."

-------

The message, which includes at the top a sketch of a blank poker face mask with starred eyes, is highlighted by several news outlets and an abundance of social media platforms:

To Our dearly beloved citizens of the City of Saint Francis - the clarion call of Justice sounds, & we, as Americans, must answer - the following item was stolen, pilfered, & illegally seized from our good servant, Q: let any citizen of the Empire who has seen such an item come forthwith to decry this action from the very rooftops! Your voice shall be heard - with all due regard & signed by Our hand:

Issac Norton II, Emperor of the United States & Defender of Mexico

VA Prosthetics Deal

The Department of Veterans Affairs had just announced a new report that a company had provided the organization with several free prosthetic limbs for veterans who have lost them in wars as well as accidents overseas. Not much is known about the company except that they worked with the federal government off a modest million-dollar loan in order to provide these life-changing items to those who have given up their very bodies for the service of this country and its ideals.

Shipments of these prosthetics have been centered only in the United States, and over 3,000 veterans and current service members have been reported to begin using them. Following the next few months, it's to be estimated that another 6,000 will be in use all around the country, providing those who have lost something for their service at least a small thing to cope with what they went through.

As such many have praised both the federal government for such a bold move as well as the maker of these prosthetics as the durability and reliability have now been advertised on many TV's around the country. Both are used in commercials to show the grit of the US military, as well as for those who have gotten out and are seeking a way to feel whole again. Overall though this has been a major step forward and the VA shows its gratitude to all those who both served and worked on this amazing invention.

Large Energy Deal

On the local news for MSNBC Goshen broadcast would show a simple panning view of a large solar farm as well as a number of rolling acres of land it was placed on. In addition to this, a broadcaster would be standing next to another man, smiling before speaking up. 

"Hello, I'm here with one of the technicians of Bountiful Acres Farm, a large solar farm that has only been set up just recently and has been so gracious as to help supply the local communities with power in Goshen Indiana. Please tell me about the setup here if you may?”

The man who was wearing a hard hat and simple safety gear would nod, “Yes ma’am, right here me and a few others fork all 18 acres of solar farm land, supplying enough energy for a small town to operate without much issue. But currently, we're working as an internal backup just in case we get a grid failure or the sort.”

The woman would then question him further, “Are you expecting some sort of emergency?”

Causing the man to shake his head and laugh, “No no, but given this property is privately owned and this is a company it is better to be able to produce the energy and offer it to the local community just in case. Besides, everyone needs power, better to have the supply then regret not having it just in case an event like that big fire in Michigan happens around here.”

Smiling back the woman would follow up with a few modest questions about the LLC who owns it, the company itself, and over all just trying to put a positive spin on the entire thing. Once the interview was over the camera would pan back to herself.

“Well then with the official contract being put into place this week we can expect many people in the region to never have to worry about blackouts or energy problems again, back to you Cris!”

Underworld Dealings

Detectives have been looking into what looks to be a number of underworld deals that have been happening as of late in the California area, although not many leads have come up and many people have speculated why there is a sudden influx of money that just so happened to fall into the mafia’s hands. Suspects that have been looked into are Figueroa Montenegro, a local gun store owner with ties to local crime syndicates.

Additionally, a man by the name of Rodger Finnegan has also been pinned by detectives to further look into the movement of money that has been happening. Currently, however, local detectives and police have had their hands full due to the number of crimes and activities happening in California. Regardless the amount of money has been stated to be in the tens of millions, and the police will take in any information regarding this.

Large Gold Vien Found in India

Reports have said that a large gold vain in India had surfaced after a company working for a local miner had struck down and found it. The information regarding it is very vague and those involved seem to be of the shadier variety, however, it seems that the mine is producing large quantities of gold. Enough to label it almost a golden city of sorts, however, no reports have shown anyone coming in there, pictures, or anything of the like. 

Although this seems somewhat fishy, many have thought of this as a new boon to the world as the circulation of more gold will help many companies build more circuit boards, install chips, and overall ensure that the rare earth mineral will stay in circulation for a long time to come. For now, though many reporters are still eager to get more information about the mine and the amount of gold they could be producing to have better records of this event. 

Right now all information regarding the mine is assumptive, as if trying to keep it secret possibly, or just trying to ensure that the owners could mine up as much as possible before anyone else. Regardless, these notions are will remain speculative, but it is only lightly reported on by some news organizations and barely shows any interest in most countries. 

Parkway Gardens Massacre Rocks Chicago

One week ago today, tragedy struck the Parkway Gardens Apartments in Chicago. A landmark, a historical American icon, it's served as a home to thousands, and as an example of what we all can achieve. From former first lady Michelle Obama to rappers like Chief Keef, Fredo Santana, and King Von. Dozens of legends got their start in the Parkway Gardens, in the O-Block. We will never know for certain how many more there could have been.

The almost 700-unit apartment complex is gang territory, and has been plagued by gang-related violence and disputes throughout its lifetime. The residents of O-Block as it is so often called, named after late resident and violent gang member Odee Perry, seem destined for tragedy. The candles that burn twice as bright last half as long.

After a period of peace, the most pressing news was the death and mourning of King Von, the king of drill music. Things seemed innocuous enough, but in the wake of his passing, trouble was brewing.

Last week, 87 lives were snatched away in the night in and around the Parkway Gardens Apartments, and 13 were injured. Three of the lives lost belonged to police officers, and two more were injured pursuing suspects down a main street, suspects engaged in a high-speed rolling gunfight through the streets of Chicago.

A Small Kindness & a New Threat

Dr. Melanie Dakerra is calculating & compassionate - has always been for her short few years of life, a fact in opposition to her appearance & memories shared with the woman turned Therapy Dog - Lanie.

While she delivers an impassioned speech that her client is not in fact the poo-flinging individual they have in lock up, her heightened senses pick up a great commotion from the cells. Some of the truly mad & violent, most likely victims of Ghoul Fever, rage against their restraints, snapping at nurses & orderlies. Even more eerily, they chant a single phrase:

"BLOOD FATHER! BLOOD FATHER! BLOOD FATHER!"

This part is beyond her scope, & she puts it out of her mind - one battle at a time. In the end, Theodore walks free, identity intact.

For the rest of a Maelstrom, a new plague rises...a plague of Vampirism.

Recent Murder Tied to Serial Killing Spree - Supernatural Hate Crimes!

Joanna Barlow (26), a single mother, local coffee shop owner, and social media influencer, was found brutally dismembered in an abandoned warehouse in Knoxville, Tennessee just 3 hours ago. She was reported missing 5 days ago by a neighbor in a shared apartment complex, prompting a missing person search. Several weeks earlier, Barlow went viral when she "came out" to her coffee-loving followers on TikTok. She shared and then showed off that she can boil water at will--the secret to brewing a perfect cup of joe. She is survived by an infant and a toddler, who will be put into the care of surviving relatives.

Officials believe there is a connection between this case and multiple other murder cases that have happened over the last few months. This has also been connected with the brutal poaching of suspected and confirmed cryptids. The brutality of the murders, and similarities in the crimes have also led officials to believe the victims may be connected, potentially all supernatural in some way, escalating these murders to also being hate crimes. Now that the leads have brought these multiple acts together, evidence points to a group of suspects. The acts were perpetrated with startling degrees of efficiency leading officials to believe there are military backgrounds, and the lack of evidence at crime scenes suggests premeditation and forensic experience. These crimes have been committed around North America, without a discovered pattern of location or frequency. 

Known facts about the case.

Historic Alert: Japan Braces for Potential Encounter Between Oceanic Giants

Tokyo, Japan – In an unprecedented situation that seems lifted from the pages of science fiction, Japan and the international community are on high alert as two colossal entities—a robotic megalodon and a gigantic immortal jellyfish—are on a collision course in the Pacific Ocean. This potential meeting, evocative of ancient kaiju battles, has escalated concerns over safety, environmental impact, and the unforeseen consequences of such an encounter.

Authorities, utilizing the latest in satellite and deep-sea tracking technology, are closely monitoring the movements of both creatures. The Japanese Self-Defense Forces, in coordination with international partners, are preparing for a range of scenarios, including the possibility of ecological disruption or threats to maritime safety.

The scientific community is divided over the event. On one hand, this presents a rare opportunity to witness the interaction between mechanical engineering marvels and mysterious marine biology. On the other hand, fears loom large over the unpredictable ecological ramifications that could result from their meeting. "We are venturing into uncharted territory," stated Dr. Hiroshi Tanaka, a marine biologist involved in the tracking efforts. "The implications of these two giants meeting could be profound, not just for our understanding of marine life and robotics but for the marine ecosystem itself."

Environmental advocacy groups have urged restraint and caution, emphasizing the paramount importance of preserving ocean biodiversity. "This event, while extraordinary, should not distract us from our responsibility to protect our marine environments," said Akira Suzuki, spokesperson for the Japan Marine Conservation Society.

The nation is captivated by the unfolding drama, with public sentiment ranging from fascination to concern. Coastal communities are particularly anxious, fearing possible repercussions of the giants' interaction. Social media platforms are abuzz with speculation, artistic renditions, and discussions about the kaiju-like scenario playing out in real-time.

As the world watches with bated breath, Japan finds itself at the epicenter of a unique convergence of mythology, technology, and nature. The coming days are critical as experts and officials work tirelessly to mitigate potential risks, hoping to safeguard both the country's coastal regions and the delicate balance of the marine ecosystem.

Stay tuned for continuous coverage on this historic event, as we bring you the latest updates and expert analyses on the potential meeting of the oceanic giants off the coast of Japan.

Breaking News: Mysterious Robotic Megalodon Emerges Off China, Heads Towards Japan

In a bewildering turn of events, coastal communities off China were the first to witness an unprecedented sight: a gigantic robotic megalodon, the likes of which have never been seen before, emerging from the depths of the ocean. Initial reports from startled eyewitnesses describe the mechanical behemoth, comparable in size to a blue whale, as it commenced an unexpected and alarming pattern of behavior, including the apparent attacking and consumption of boats.

This robotic megalodon, a marvel of engineering that blends the ancient ferocity of its namesake with the ominous prowess of modern robotics, has sparked intense speculation and concern. Scientists and experts, caught off guard by its appearance, are scrambling to understand its origins, capabilities, and intentions, especially given its current trajectory towards Japan.

The Japanese government, responding with urgency to the potential threat, has issued maritime warnings and initiated preventive measures to safeguard coastal areas and maritime traffic. The international community watches closely, offering assistance and coordination to help mitigate the risk posed by this robotic predator.

Authorities and the scientific community are piecing together witness statements and available data to form a response. Theories regarding the megalodon's creation range from a rogue engineering project to an unanticipated outcome of deep-sea exploration technology. Efforts are underway to establish communication or control over the robot to divert it away from populated areas and prevent further incidents.

The appearance of the robotic megalodon raises profound questions about the unseen boundaries of human innovation and the untamed forces of nature. As this story develops, the world remains gripped by the unfolding narrative of this colossal robotic creature's journey through the waters between China and Japan.

Stay with us for continuous updates on this extraordinary situation, as we follow the efforts to understand and address the emergence of the robotic megalodon.

Colossal Immortal Jellyfish Spotted Off Okinawa: Echoes of Ancient Japanese Legends Stir Public Imagination

International News– In an extraordinary turn of events that intertwines marine biology with folklore, the mysterious giant creature observed in the waters off Okinawa is now believed by many to be a massive immortal jellyfish, reminiscent of the legendary *kurage-no-hinotama*. This development has not only captivated the scientific community but also ignited the imaginations of the Japanese public, with many drawing parallels to ancient legends and myths.

The *kurage-no-hinotama*, or "jellyfish fireball," is a mythical creature said to inhabit the seas around Japan, known for its ethereal beauty and mystical qualities. The sightings of this colossal jellyfish-like entity have led some to speculate that such legends may have been inspired by encounters with extraordinary marine life, perhaps ancestors of this immense creature.

Dr. Masato Takahashi, a marine biologist at the University of Tokyo, shared his insights: "While the immortal jellyfish (*Turritopsis dohrnii*) is known for its ability to revert to a juvenile form after reaching maturity, nothing in our current scientific understanding prepared us for the possibility of such a creature existing on a scale as large as what's been reported."

The Japan Coast Guard and a team of international researchers have intensified their efforts to study the creature, deploying advanced underwater drones and sonar technology in hopes of capturing clearer images. These endeavors aim not only to confirm the creature's existence and characteristics but also to understand its impact on the marine ecosystem and its connections to historical accounts and folklore.

Local reaction has been a mix of excitement and concern, with some viewing the creature's appearance as a sign of nature's enduring mysteries and others as a potential omen. "It's like something out of a story my grandmother told me," said Keiko Sato, a resident of Okinawa. "She spoke of sea spirits and creatures that remind us of the ocean's power and mystery."

The fishing and tourism industries have experienced mixed impacts, with some local businesses reporting a downturn due to fears about the creature, while others have seen a surge in interest from tourists eager to catch a glimpse of this link to Japan's mythological past.

Environmentalists and conservationists have urged for a cautious approach to the creature's discovery, emphasizing the importance of respecting its habitat and the broader marine environment. "This could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from a living legend," noted a statement from the Japan Marine Conservation Society, "but it's crucial that we balance our curiosity with the responsibility to protect our oceans."

As the investigation continues, the story of the giant immortal jellyfish off the coast of Okinawa serves as a powerful reminder of the ocean's vast mysteries and the cultural narratives that have emerged from humanity's attempts to understand the natural world. Whether this creature proves to be a direct link to the legends of old or simply a remarkable discovery in marine biology, it has already left an indelible mark on the imaginations and hearts of the Japanese people.

Ghosting LA - by Reggie Curtis

While traveling down the road, or just tuning into a radio station, no matter what you’ll hear a simple song starting to rise up the charts.

“Hey y'all, this is WGCI coming to you live with today’s top 100 songs. Keep this on while you are traveling on a road trip, going out of state, or just looking for something new. Next up we have a song by an artist known as DJ called Ghosting LA. Speaking of ghosts, did you know this guy is literally dead? I mean with all the ghosts around I think this makes sense they will want to have some unfinished business and were happy it was making music.”

“This song also accompanies a guitar solo from a rising artist by the name of Lisa Gallagher, better known as the handle ‘Beth’.” Pausing the voice would soon scale out as the music would begin to rise over his voice. “This song is a true work of art that mixes synth, rock, and a graveyard beat to make something you’ve never heard before- check it out!”

“Number 68, Ghosting LA!”

Being played over the radio waves many would find it to be rather good, not bad for what was a song made from a mix of many things all at once. Which should feel chaotic but the editing and just how it flowed was more than enough to make up for anyone’s possible critics for small parts of the song overall.

But for one person, they would hear nothing but perfection, and be reminded of those who helped them to make it.

The Sickest Riff

Buzz around the new song "Ghosting LA" would start to spring up in Beth's community, many hearing about her contribution to the song which is a mini-hit, effectively a one-hit wonder at the moment as it is part of no album or bigger set piece. However, Lisa had made her mark as her guitar solo has been one of the greatest parts of the song altogether. 

Online many videos of people doing a cover of Lisa's guitar solo have become fairly popular among other aspects of the song, however, many find the solo to be both difficult to pull off and amazing to listen to. Similar to how many see other well-known and legendary guitar solo's from other songs in the past. For her though she'd find the attention to be a minor boost in her popularity as her willingness to help improve someone else's cover has gained her a few emails from lesser-known people about wanting to collaborate sometime or maybe have her on just for an interview or to talk about music and her roll in both the song and her own album, Infrasonic Disintegrator.

For now though While traveling down the road, or just tuning into a radio station, no matter what you’ll hear a simple song starting to rise up the charts.

“Hey y'all, this is WGCI coming to you live with today’s top 100 songs. Keep this on while you are traveling on a road trip, going out of state, or just looking for something new.

Not so sweet Marie?

The Sweet Marie, a revaluationary, echo friendly, self sustainable cruise ship, embarked on its maiden voyage only to be drug to shore 12 hours later. Captain Peter Monty reports that the Artifical Intelligence that was added to the computer systems took over the controls, and maliciously attempted to wreck the ship. Investigations of the onboard computers report that the ships destination was changed from a casual cruise to Cresent City Washington and back to a full speed coalition with the Arctic through the Bering Straights. 

The captain reports that the AI incapacitated the navigation crew using the ships security measures, and if it weren't for a young hero named Elizabeth, the entire ship could have been killed. We attempted to interview this young lady, but she had to undergo immediate surgery upon arrival to shore, and then was secreted away by the captain. 

In other related news, the suspected sex offender Loyabard was suspected to be onboard the ship. A thorough investigation is being made to confirm this. If you have any information about this, please contact your local law enforcement. There is currently no known connection between his presence and the malfunction of the ship. 

Further investigation will be made into both the owner of the ship, Guilbert Boneva, and the developer of the AI, the Laxentry Corporation. 

Huge Deal Between America and Cranes Tech

Recently, it was announced that a very large deal between the government of the U.S.A. and Cranes Tech occurred. Apparently, after weeks for transparent bidding, including, America managed to purchase the Plover Drones, developed by Cranes Tech, created in response to the Bay Area Glitter Incident to clean it up. These drones are equipped with conditional urban all-terrain movement options, human/object identification software, as well as a variety of other capabilities.

This deal seems to be particularly controversial due to the potential military applications of said drone if modified, with the company offering it up to nations such as North Korea during the transparent bidding war.

Crane Albright, owner of Cranes Tech and inventor of said device has made statements in response to the queries regarding the deal. He claims that he was not involved selling nor legalities, and merely created the technology. He says he was only told that he could make big money from his invention and accepted, unaware to what was going on due to his inexperience as an 18 year old.

He has also stated that ~90% of the money he earned has been donated to various charities, such as the Red Cross Association and he received less than 50% of what his creation sold for while also having to pay another individual with the remaining funds.

Reliable sources do confirm that these donations have been made.

His made to order tech company has also seemingly just signed a contract with America, though the exact details of the contract seem to be obscure though it should be safe to assume that we'll be seeing further development involving both parties.

Huron-Manistee Fire Quelled!

An image of the razed forest is displayed at the top of the article, thousands of acres of land now barren. Beyond it though, green landscape peeks into the frame.

After countless days of relentless effort, the most of the flames plaguing the once lush Huron-Manistee National Forest have been smothered away. Despite the scope of the inferno, an estimated 185,000 acres ravaged, only 17 have been confirmed dead. A situation that would have no doubt escalated to a much more severe degree if not for the sacrifices endured by fire fighting personnel and volunteers. Without them, their transportation, donations, and efforts, Michigan would have burned.

A grainy photo of the injured town can be viewed. For those particularly perceptive, a building seems to be in a strangely good condition compared to its surroundings. With further research, it is the Lake County Historical Museum & Research Library.

Baldwin has also been impacted heavily by these circumstances. A large portion of the infrastructure of the town have been gravely damaged and contracts for rebuilding the area are slowly being taken. Fortunately enough, in spite of the hasty evacuation, no casualties have been reported to have occurred during the process.

A video occupies the screen this time, footage of a built Slavic woman with eyes almost emanating a green glow lifts a crumbled wall and carries a family of three out of rubble and into safety. Their large frame providing cover for those under their protection.

This feat was only possible with the herculean aid from the 'Mother of Dragons', Iryna. Reliable sources also report that she was also responsible for creating a back burn that eventually stopped the spread of the fire, restraining it for its ultimate end.

A large portion of the personnel on the scene during the evacuation of Baldwin also contribute much of its success to Akira Han, a volunteer who seems to have an unknown relationship as her helicopter was loaned to him and those who saw their interaction claim they they were at least familiar. The following statement is from one of said personnel who aided the evacuation of Baldwin.

"They were kinda like, uh, overwatch, if y'know what I mean. Coordinated us real well when we were all scrambling about like headless chicken. The situation had got that bad, yeah. But Mr. Han came to rescue in any case, pointed out what was going on, and did a real good job at it too. Though, must admit, wouldn't have cared what they said if not for the fact that the dragon lady vouched for 'im."

Mr. Han was last seen aiding Iryna, with the companionship of other park rangers, planting new tree seeds in locations where the soil could take it.

Another notable figure making a name for themselves during this cataclysmic event, is Liam Holloway, who arrived to the burning woodland with his well-known partner, Emily Miller. From the reports and statements from his peers that he worked with, Mr. Holloway's efforts were unabated for the entire duration, to perhaps his own harm. Reports state that Mr. Holloway volunteered and asked to be placed in the most dangerous and critical areas to help those in need.

A video filled with chaos, people can be heard screaming and shouting, smoke obscuring what's happening. "Man down! Holloway is down!" In the corner of the screen, a burning building collapses into itself, and as the camera falls back, a blue explosion is caught, a blurry figure rising out of it, spectral-like flames trailing beneath them. 

Another video, this time of a middle aged man in turn out gear is played. The man smiles before saying: "Grass grows, Sun rises, and Holloway saves another person. He's... he's something different, at least from what I've witnessed with all my years behind me. The man doesn't have an iron will, he has something more."

Mr. Holloway has not yet accepted any interviews but has in fact stated that his boots, providing him with his flight, were generously donated to him by Valiant Arms. For the past days, Mr. Holloway was commonly seen blasting through the forest with his flight-granting boots.

Ms. Miller volunteered her efforts to directing traffic and later evacuation efforts, working with Mr. Holloway to bring those without transportation into a helicopter though more substantial information regarding this process seems to be scarce. The confrontation between Ms. Miller and a paramedic, Barnaby Lucas has also spread to the internet, video footage captures the scene where the two seem to debate about a Samoyed that is rumored to have some sort healing capabilities though no evidence has been discovered that proves this. Neither party has given any statement regarding this interaction as of yet.

A photo of a young man with a bloodied shirt's futile attempt to physically and desperately halt the famous figure of Emily Miller towering of him is displayed.

Stepping into the spotlight, multiple individuals have also been Illuminated to the public while combating these raging flames. Caught on camera demonstrating flight and some sort of aerokinesis is someone identified as Ricter Casenger, a 30 year old construction worker.

Caught in a video, a tall dark-skinned bald man shoots up into mid-air, smoke rising towards him in a swirl.

Mr. Casenger has given no statement regarding his supernatural capabilities but has announced that he will be working to aid efforts in rebuilding homes, roads, and other broken down structures. He is choosing to work with FEMA and other disaster relief organizations for this endeavor.

Allister Wildheart, a once debatably Illuminated individual, has been spotted once more demonstrating two large firetruck-like devices, dubbed the Fire Razors, eradicating the fire and more of his capabilities.

A bronze clockwork automaton, painted black, with a faceplate shaped in the facsimile of a hyena's face, dressed in a biker get up snaps their finger in this video and a small crew of clockwork mice, rocket propelled, scramble to the ruined building, reconstructing it with astonishing speed. 

There has been no confirmation on the identity of the individual or group that caused this wildfire, though some have been advocating that the cause of this event is a dragon, or several. Theorists claim that Iryna was on the scene so early because of a dragon burnt through the forest and they had to clean up the result. Authorities state they are doing all they can to reveal what happened and bring the perpetrator(s) to justice.

As of now, the aftermath of the situation remains uncertain. With hundreds of homes devastated and countless lives disrupted, it seems like it'll still be a long while before things return to normal. The assistance and support from the community does bring a hope though, that perhaps things will be better much sooner.

A final image, this time of a well-groomed man in a preacher's outfit counselling a young girl with bandages across her face is placed at the end of this article.

The Gladiator Who Fought Hell

Sitting in her library, a woman with blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin would write in a book, describing the adventures of a man as she smiled and began to openly read it back to herself once the pages were full of words.

"Once there was a man who had sold his soul for the sake of immortality, he sacrificed everything, his body, his mind, his family for this end. In the end, he took a deal when his life was short and his time in this world was going to be shuttered. Little did he know this devilish contract he made would only grow to hurt him, to live forever with no purpose."

"But he wanted more, he wanted his soul back from the monsters who gave him everything, yet gave him nothing at the same time." 

"Then, an angel came down, giving him a choice, this choice was to forever live in the skin of a demon or to find a new path, one not drenched in blood but salvation. The man accepted, and the angel gave him a lantern to light at the tallest mountain top of which he set out immediately for."

"However he would be haunted by those who wanted nothing more than to cause him strife, to see him revert to his old ways. To remember the 'good' he was given in exchange for his soul. But he stood resolute and began fighting the denizens and agents of hell.

"In the end, the man managed to win back a portion of his soul in the name of god. Doing his best to ensure that he doesn't fall back into the anguish and suffering he caused earlier in his life."

Closing the book the woman would smile softly as the story was finished, and placing it into her library the title would show: "The Gladiator Who Fought Hell"

The Murder of Amanda Rodgers

A news report would follow the story of a small possible homicide case involving 14-year-old Amanda Rodgers...

"Some nights ago it would seem that the case information for 14 year old Amanda Rodgers has come up completely missing or corrupted, the police have been searching for a possible lead however due to all the physical evidence being eliminated it seems to be leading to an unsatisfactory result."

The reporter would no sooner go to a detective who would make a public statement about what happened.

"We've had an attack on some morticians, as well as data being corrupted or scrubbed from both our computers- Regardless, we've dedicated all our time and energy into finding Ms. Rodger's murder, and we will continue to do so while we can. Be advised, however, that we may have ghouls possibly interrupting our investigation, it has been reported that they may have some interest in all this. But it is clear that this is a cover-up of some sort. Thank you."

Cutting away the news reporter would continue, "We hope that the investigation goes well, however for now the police department has issued to be on the look out for ghoul activity and to report any sightings of such in the near future."

Surfing God

“Hello Dave! Were here at channel 5 news France reporting on the Tudor Nazare Tow Surfing Championship! Today we’ve just finished the first days competition and we have a first timer winning today events! Contestant Joseph von Barish IV, were here with him now to get his thoughts on winning.”

The news caster would walk over to a small circle where a woman would hand over a trophy to the shirtless man. Looking as if he just got out of the water while holding his board. Moments later they would hear him speak a few words to the crowd and news over all.

"I'd like to thank the universe, for endowing me with health, and a way of life. I'd like to thank all you fine folks for this hang out, it was BITCH'N!"

Right then the man would be shown on camera throwing some charm out of his pocket into the ocean behind him and soon running out towards the water as a large whale would seemingly show up out of no where. Opening its mouth as the man would swim on his board towards the creature.

The stunned crowd would break their silence as two men would yell out, both australians, chanting in unison.

“Surfing God! Surfing God!”

Causing an uproar around the crowd as the man would be swallowed by the beast and vanish bellow the waves. Moving the camera back to the reporter she would soon speak up, “I..I don’t know what to say, but it seems that the winner is some supernaturally pow-” Being cut off a surfer would move into the camera’s view.

“He’s a fuck’in GOD! He’s come to bless our waves BRUH!”

The news cast would switch off the broad cast to stop anyone form hearing any more swearing. Going back to the news room as a man would smile and add.

“Thank you Bridget! We’ll return soon to cover more of this breaking story!”

Hikes to Everest Closed!

Weather in the peeks of Mount Everest have grown too dangerous for even experienced climbers. Meteorologists are still unsure how the storm has raged this long, nor why it seems to be isolated to that region, But they deem it too unstable and dangerous for anyone to travel up there. This comes on the heels of the last party to return. Despite the disappearance of their guide in the snows, and a surprisingly Long stay near the peaks of the mountain, they have managed to survive and return mostly unscathed. An Impressive display of human endurance. A true inspiration to us all. 

Infrasonic Disintegrator DESTROYS you!

While browsing online you come across an article or youtube video with the title above, showing a community of goth's, death metal nerds, rockers, and all manner of grunge bands in the local community of Michigan. All were narrated by a woman who seemed to focus on a few bands, but one would shine above the rest...

"In the past few years I thought the Death Metal community, the Screamo community, etc. Was going to hell- and not in a good way! All the songs I've heard have been literal garbage! Except this!" She'd then show a hard copy cover of Beth's first time CD.

"This fucking CD- OH MY GOD! It takes me back to when I first joined in this fucking community, it hits every damn nerve in my body. I want to hear songs that make my ears BLEED and this does it for me one every way! This EP is better than fucking SEX, and I know you virgins aren't getting laid any time soon so you better get a hard copy before she runs out, it will be your last time to experience it before you die!"

The woman would then show testimonies from others who got the album:

"Rat Queen sounds like broken glass being ground into the ears of a screaming pregnant cat, FUCKING SICK BRAH! I LOVE IT!" Said a man with a mohawk and black makeup.

"If you want to experience your organs being outside of your body while you smoke weed? Listen to this." Said another man who seemed to be smoking a blunt.

"It's really good, I listen to it all the time while at work." Said a woman in a sundress and glasses who would no sooner scan a library book for a child before smiling at the interviewer.

Going back to the youtube video the woman would come back, slamming her hand on the table. "If this album can convert even NORMIES?! You know this shit is the real deal! Now tell your mom, tell your dad, tell you're dumb ass cousin who has no taste in music to BUY THIS FUCKING ALDBUM NOW! Song list is in the description, this is JennyROCK signing out!"

The video would end, and as you could see from the comments and likes, its well received and well over 500k likes.

Welcome to “The Library”

A new library has opened up in Houston Texas, one combining cottage-core designs with a love and thirst for knowledge and information. The owner, Jessie Hope, is a young 20-year-old woman with a passion for books and believes that the community could use more avenues for reading and information for all ages. Inside our reporters seemed very happy with the comfortable atmosphere, as well as the fact that portions were split up to accommodate both adults and some young adults too. We gained a few testimonies from some local patrons.

“Very comfortable, and similar to a barns and nobles but like a cottage.” Another detail comes from an older man.

“It's like my old home when I was a kid living in the Rust Belt, it's so silent here I can read whatever I like in peace.”

With modest furnishing, couches, wooden walls, and an excellent place to read and learn. All book lovers should come to “The Library”.

New Titanium Trucks Coming Soon?

Investigative reporters have been asking about odd shipments of titanium and possibly other metals under the name of Harold Ford Motor Company. Many think these shipments are common for the manufacturer, however, the amount and those supplied with it have brought up suspicious eyes to the business habits of the multi-million dollar enterprise. Especially given the amount rendered is well and beyond their normal business habits, even if gained by personal funds of one of their business heads, Mr. Harold Ford. 

A press briefing would show a woman detailing on behalf of Harold Ford, "Currently the use of these metals are for possible new avenues of travel, I was informed to state that these are personal purchases and these resources are being used for more improved vehicles of the future. Additionally, with the massive fire happening in Michigan and our assembly plant possibly being affected we have begun moving resources to help rebuild our cars and other vehicles that will be lost, all the while ensuring that some of these resources go to causes wishing to help aid those who lost much in the fires as well. Thank you." 

On tabloids, many have believed these new cars to be possible ships to other worlds! Believing that the business is working on a means of getting rich people a way off the world once a world-ending natural disaster or the nukes finally fall. Many of these questions would be asked and many conspiracy theories have come up about the possible use of muli-ton blocks and ingots of titanium, however much of it is unfounded and some outright believe it to be for the new car line coming to a dealership near you. It is also clear from some digging that Harold Ford is donating nothing to the fire, or the Michigan Fire Fund at this time, or MFF for short.

Two Poachers Found Dead in Florida Swamps

Yesterday two law enforcement rangers patrolling the Everglades National Park, the largest tropical wilderness in the United States, found the corpses of two poachers floating in the swampy waters. The corpses were identified as James Hurst (36) and his son Benjamin Hurst (18) seven hours later when their boat was discovered run aground on a small island in the marshlands. The boat contained excessive amounts of traps, guns, and ammunition; fresh hides from 8 crocodiles (outside of hunting season and without permits) and 11 alligators (again without permits and far exceeding the two per person rule); and 21 live alligator eggs in padded containers.

"The causes of their deaths have not yet been determined," Officer Shay Carmichael said. "We've been trailing these guys off and on for about six months now, finding their boot tracks and the skinned critters, but they were pretty elusive ... This isn't how I wanted to bring them in."

The live eggs will be donated to an alligator ranching program. Once the reptiles reach adulthood, a portion will be released back into the wild and a portion will be sold by the farmers for profits.

While going about your day, you discover a folded thin paper somewhere in your house, bag, or mailbox. Unfolding it reveals the following handwritten note (but no fingerprints):

"The description initially provided of the Knights of Equestria concerning its size, of 'thousands of members locally and abroad,' has proven false. Observations of your group reveal a consistent inability to defend yourselves from external threats. This includes the murder of your leader (who we have avenged) and the kidnapping of one your member. Your people have also been observed to lack subtlety and discretion aside from one. Given that the partnership was formed on false pretenses and rising doubt that you could be of aid to us, we annul the partnership. As always, we shall continue to care for our own." 

"CryptoLink" goes live

Throughout the dark corners of the web, an odd video begins to gain traction, shared time & again by Crypto Enthusiasts.

It opens showing a plain room, through a window one can see the iconic Puget Sound, however the main focus of the camera is the translucent form of a young woman who swirls weightless before it.

"Is it on?" She pouts, before a man's voice with a decided Canadian accent says, "Sorry, yeah I got it now."

The ghost perks up, focusing on the camera with a beaming smile, "Hi world! My name is Nina - I am a single, post-living female who is looking to find that special someone. I like hiking, singing, & going to the movies - just not the scary ones. I am looking for someone who will appreciate me as I am & is looking for a long term relationship - no Boo-ty calls!"

She covers her face at that last bit & complains to whoever is off screen "Ah! I feel so stupid!"

The same voice as before says, "No, c'mon, you're doing great."

Nina gathers herself before looking back at the camera & offering a dazzling smile, "Alright boys - I can promise I'll always look this good! Send me a message if you think you can handle this."

The video ends with a link to a dating website for Supernaturals: CryptoLink.

Controversial Police Program

Boston Massachusetts steps out of the past and embraces what looks like the future with their new Vigilante Rehabilitation program, starting with the glowing, ball playing Master Batter himself. This announcement has come with mixed reviews from the people of Boston, especially the Asian community, but the Chief of Police has already made it official. He has assured the public that they will be keeping a strong eye on Jason, but in this world full of super hero movies and books, it's only natural people will start trying this vigilantism, which he repeats is Illegal, and he hopes that with a program like this, we can have this rise in... "Special" people on the side of peace and justice, instead of having masked thugs running the streets thinking they are above the law. 

Winter Storm Caused By Wildfire in Michigan Striking Goshen Indiana

Good evening, Goshen, Indiana. We are currently witnessing a highly unusual and potentially hazardous weather event. A winter storm, influenced by a wildfire in Michigan, is affecting our area with a unique combination of ashy hail and lighter snowfall.

The hail, infused with ash from the distant wildfire, is the primary concern. These ashy hailstones are not only unusual but could pose a risk to both people and property. The snowfall, while less intense than initially expected, adds to the complexity of the situation with its mix of ash and ice.

Residents are advised to exercise caution. The ashy hail can create dangerous conditions, particularly for driving and outdoor activities. It is recommended to stay indoors, protect vehicles, and secure any vulnerable outdoor items.

Those with respiratory sensitivities should be especially cautious due to the ash content in the air. Visibility may be reduced, and the combination of ash and icy conditions could lead to challenging and hazardous travel.

Emergency services are monitoring the situation closely. We urge everyone in the community to stay updated with the latest weather advisories. Please prioritize your safety during this extraordinary weather event. Stay safe, Goshen.

The fire took several hours to contain, and left hundreds of acres burnt.

We'll be bringing you live updates as we know more.  For the moment, we recommend individuals stay safe and at home...

New Celebrity Couple in Seattle?/Liam Holloway Statement

New Celebrity Couple in Seattle?

Over the past weeks, Emily Miller, poster girl for Gen-Wyld, has been sighted traveling around with an individual identified as Liam Holloway, most well known for his appearance in Serbia and his benevolent acts as a volunteer firefighter, on the streets of Seattle.

Recently, we have received confirmation that the two are currently dating and living together. The pair seem to possess a strong and healthy relationship if what the everyday citizen encountering them are to be believed.

There has been notable backlash announced by individuals close to Mr. Holloway though, particularly from his father who has made it very public about his strong dissatisfaction regarding the choices his son has made and his support for the Sons of Salem.

No comment has been made in response to the above statement from either as of yet.

Liam Holloway Statement Regarding Serbia

This following statement was recorded by the journalist Jeremy Wayne.

"Now, Mr. Holloway, I understand that many people are quite curious about your involvement in the events that occurred in Belgrade, Serbia. Would it be alright if you enlightened us on your side of the story?"

"Yeah, I was in Serbia - just on vacation in the general region, eh? Was nothing special about it until those hosiers started shooting up the crowd. ISIS? I mean no, I have no opinion on all that beyond you have to be a special kind of @$$%*=&^ to shoot up innocent people. I was just there, you know. Did what I had to do. The Ghosts? Well, I don't know a lot about all that, but sure, why not: if I'd been killed by a hosier I'd probably have something to say about it after too, eh? I don't blame those people one bit for not taking death lying down - they're the victims after all."

"The other two? Yeah, I saw the guy with the guns, probably was security or something. Yeah, I worked on the Fox Girl. She was injured, & that's my job. Where did she come from? Do I look like a Furry expert? Werepeople are people too, just with a unique medical condition - we train for BSI so we don't get infected, but refusing to work on them in a Medical Emergency is just as backward as Doctors refusing to work on AIDS patients back in the day. I'll help ANYBODY who needs help, eh? If they're a werefox, or a ghost, or anything else - if they're in trouble, I'm going in. Which is what I did in Serbia. The gun? Yeah, I found that in the scuffle, seemed like a good idea at the time, right? I dumped it on the scene after, didn't want anyone thinking I was a combatant. No idea where it went after. I saw the video, yeah - the shimmer could be heat shimmer? Come to think of it, it was real shiny, chrome-like you know? Really stood out in the stall when the shooting started. It's probably still there."

New Development Team at Blue Monkey Games

Blue Monkey games has begun a hiring spree to fill in staff for an upcoming gacha game they're developing, adding to their team a Bryan Bosch, the man has revamped and improved the art style to the delight of many fans eager to see the game finished and pushed out. On social media excitement for the development has increased almost solely due to his attention to detail, and almost painting-like art style that makes many think his talents could be used for fine art rather than a simple game. But those who wish to play the upcoming title have more than happily accepted the developer's new policy of hiring on new talents and giving more people a shot in the gaming industry. 

Texarkana Quarantined... Again

It seems only recently that this small city reached the news involving a supposed terrorist attack, now mysterious affliction rendered nearly the entire city unconscious. Police and military are currently investigating the situation and have quarantined the city to ensure everyone is safe. Whatever the cause, it does not appear to be contagious, but anyone who was passing in or through Texarkana in or near January 22nd to the 24th are advised to do to your nearest hospital.

Huron Manistee National Forest BURNS!!!

Panic ensues as flames consume the forests of Michigan, causing unrelenting destruction through the woodlands.

Fire Teams respond to what is clearly a malicious act of arson with little hope of containing the raging inferno - whole towns are consumed by the wildfire, the number of missing are largely presumed to be dead. Thousands of acres are burning & the fires spread yet unchecked.

Investigation teams have not yet discovered who was behind the blaze, though forensics have not been able to get to the heart of the forest fire.

The National Guard has been dispatched to help evacuate threatened villages. Even so, the situation is grim.

Clown attacked in Seattle.

KIRO-7 Seattle online news clip.

Last night a local man was assaulted and brutally injured at a gas station in the early hours of the morning. The police are currently investigating this incident and the possible ties to a local group that has targeted well known super powered individuals in the area. The victim received numerous severe injuries and was hospitalized. Early speculation is that the attack was motivated due to the victims job of being a circus performer. We have a security camera video of the attack, warning to our viewers it is somewhat graphic.

A clip plays showing grainy footage of a gas station plays. The clip is black and white and faces are difficult to make out. In the video two men walk up towards each other both holding melee weapons. The attacker swings first, his attack is dodged and then he is hit by a counter attack and knocked out of frame. 

Meteor Strikes Airplane Just Above Detroit Air Space with no recorded survivors

[AWFUL] Terrible Monster Captured on Video!

The Cyptoleak video starts.  It's showing a man with a big beard, gesturing energetically.  He's speaking brazilian, but there's auto-generated subtitles along the bottom.

"YOUR MIND WILL BE BLOWN BY WHAT JUST HAPPENED IN A MORUMBI HOTEL.  AN ACTUAL CRYPTID IN OUR MIDST." 

The video changes.  It's showing what's obviously a camera feed of a hotel lobby.  There's a timestamp on.  It looks pretty normal for a few moments before a man runs across the video screaming. Then, there's a blur.  A red circle moves across the screen.

"DID YOU SEE IT?  LET'S SEE IT AGAIN, SLOWED DOWN."

The video plays again.  This time, the red circle follows what's obviously a humanoid blur. Looking closely, there.. does seem to be a ...grid line? Or.. was that skin? It was some kind of horrible monster, obviously, made of cut up cubes of flesh, almost invisible.

"DID IT JUST EAT  SOMEONE IN THE HOTEL?  MAYBE.  THE STAFF ARE REFUSING TO COMMENT!  BUT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET?"

The video cuts back to the man, who leans in.

"I HAVE A SECRET CONTACT.  SOME OF THE STAFF ARE ATTENDING THERAPY FOR JUST SEEING THIS THING.  THAT'S HOW HORRIBLE IT WAS.  WHAT ARE THE POLICE DOING?  THEY NEED TO HUNT THIS THING DOWN..."

A haunted Bazaar, confirmation of what happens after death?!

RTS2 special news

The broadcast begins with an aerial view of several people being cared for in ambulances, photographs of people nursing bandaged wounds in hospital beds, and a video of a mostly empty bazaar. Primarily vacant, except for the spectral figures that flit between the stalls. Many of them are trying and failing to find some way to interact with the world around them. More confused than vengeful specters, for the most part, some wail in despair, and others. Other reactions can be seen from the overweight ghost of a man who rushes toward the video taker before the feed cuts back to a newsroom. A middle-aged man with a bushy mustache, the anchor of the day, as 

Euronews.com was the first to break the news once cellular and satellite signal service was returned to civilians in Belgrade, Serbia. During the downtime, it seems as though ISIS did make good on its promise to execute an attack on the capital of Serbia. Still, while the Serbian military managed to keep most of the forces and the battle itself from reaching the capital, a small squad of insurgents had managed to infiltrate the world-famous bazaar at the foot of the fortress at the city's edge. Reports state that a strange man, an as-of-yet unidentified man, and an unidentified woman who turned into a cartoon fox were responsible for preventing this attack. We cut now to a video feed taken from one of the undamaged security cameras of a nearby store showcasing the unidentified man who had participated in ending the attack and the wayward hero who, in the chaos of it all, saw fit to ensure that Serbian lives were preserved even as this incredible phenomenon began to happen around him. These are indeed strange times we live in." 

This was every contractor's nightmare, a feature on live TV. It showcases Liam's incredible medical skill as he operates on as many patients as he can physically reach once, each movement deftly traceable and mundane but done with precision that world-class surgeons would be envious of. Meanwhile, the unidentified man would watch, assault rifles sprouting from his jacket as if wary that there may be more terrorists nearby just as the cartoon fox in full tactical gear would return, now with a smashed snoot that was practically dented inward, the video cutting out just as he'd do his best to tend to the wounded snout of the creature and specters would begin to rise from the dead.

"As of yet, it is unknown why or how the spirits of the dead have risen from the corpses of those unjustly killed by the violent extremist group, but some suppose that the hero surgeon identified as Liam Holloway, an EMS in Canada, may be connected. These claims are as of yet unsubstantiated, but what is known is that a foreign man saved the lives of over two dozen Serbians on that day. While the government continues to puzzle over this new haunted bazaar, we honor the man who stood up to terror."

The channel then cuts away from the close-up to observe a moment of silence, which is shortly followed by a cut to the Serbian National Anthem being played in front of propaganda imagery before it cuts back, a new anchor behind the desk, who swiftly begins to discuss the results of the latest FIFA match. 

Mysterious 'Unicorn' Sightings Across the Great Plains Stir Wonder and Worry

In recent months, the Great Plains have become the epicenter of a remarkable phenomenon: sightings of creatures believed to be unicorns. These reports have captured the public's imagination and raised questions among scientists and wildlife experts.

Horse-like Creatures Mistaken for Unicorns: Across the vast expanses of the Great Plains, herds of horse-like creatures have been spotted, each bearing a striking resemblance to the mythical unicorn. Witnesses describe them as exceptionally swift, moving with a grace and speed that surpasses that of ordinary horses. These creatures, initially perceived as enchanting and benign, have shown unexpected traits: their mouths and limbs suggest an adaptation for survival, possibly for defense or hunting, which is at odds with their otherwise gentle appearance.

A Giant Among Them: More astonishing is the sighting of a single, elephant-sized creature among these 'unicorns.' This behemoth, blending the grandeur of an elephant with the mythical allure of a unicorn, has become a source of both awe and analysis. Intriguingly, its horn appears to have a unique function, seemingly able to purify water. This extraordinary feature has led to speculation about the creature's role in its habitat and the potential implications for the ecosystem.

The sudden appearance of these 'unicorns' in the Great Plains has ignited a flurry of activity among local communities and researchers. Ecologists are particularly interested in understanding how these creatures fit into the local ecosystem and what their long-term impact might be. There's a growing debate about whether these are indeed new species, previously undiscovered, or perhaps a result of some unknown environmental change.

For the local populations, these sightings have been a source of wonder, but also concern. While many are enchanted by the idea of unicorns roaming the plains, others worry about the implications for safety and the natural balance of the region.

As the scientific community scrambles to study these creatures, the line between myth and reality continues to blur. The Great Plains, with its new and mysterious inhabitants, has become a living testament to the enduring mystery and wonder of the natural world.

Cryptid Sightings Increasing in Volume!

In the three months since the initial reports of cryptid sightings in the United States, the situation has taken a dramatic turn. Rather than developing new abilities, these cryptids have begun appearing in greater numbers, raising significant concerns about their impact on local ecosystems and communities.

In Michigan, the White Stag, previously a solitary sighting, is no longer alone. Reports of multiple stags with similar characteristics have emerged from other parks and rural areas. These creatures continue to display aggressive behavior, leading to increased incidents of property damage and public safety concerns. The authorities are struggling to keep the population in check, balancing public safety with conservation efforts.

Washington DC’s Wildlife Crisis has escalated as the mysterious apex predator is now believed to be part of a larger group. Sightings of similar creatures have been reported in neighboring states, suggesting a migration or a significant increase in their population. Biologists are particularly concerned about the potential for these predators to disrupt local ecosystems, as they prey on a variety of species, including some that are endangered.

Chicago’s Fire-Breathing Rats have become a widespread problem, no longer confined to isolated areas. The infestation has spread to multiple neighborhoods, causing widespread panic and infrastructural damage. City officials are struggling to contain the outbreak, with traditional pest control methods proving ineffective against these unusual rodents. The increase in rat-related incidents has led to heightened public health concerns, especially in densely populated areas.

The growing number of cryptid sightings and encounters has led to a national conversation about wildlife management and environmental protection. Scientists and cryptid researchers are collaborating more closely in an effort to understand these creatures and their impact on the environment. Meanwhile, local governments are implementing emergency measures to ensure public safety and minimize the ecological impact of these cryptids.

As communities grapple with the reality of these once-mythical beings, questions about their origins and intentions remain unanswered. The situation has blurred the lines between science and mythology, leaving many to wonder what other mysteries the natural world may hold.

Lake Geneva Clown Car

Footage has appeared on several news stations of a clown weaving between traffic while walking the speed limit. From dash cams and security cameras to shaky phone footage, all show the clown accompanied by the sound of bells and faint circus music. Making no attempt to disguise his face, and openly wearing three bedazzled Sons of Salem patches, many speculate on what led to the event.

CNN and Fox have already covered the story, and both have interviews posted online.

“He ran right past me!” A shorter woman standing with children addresses the camera.
“He was so cool!” “I wanna go to the circus!” the children say.
Hushing the children, the woman continues, ”I think I heard he was wearing one of those Sons of Salem patches too! Seems like a reckless, dangerous troublemaker to me. We were going 60! My family could have been hurt!”

“I don’ know much about the Sons, but I know he ain’t one o’ them!” A balding man says to the camera. ”He’ll stay outta the south of he knows what’s good for ‘im, and outta Wisconsin too! It’s a rough crowd, and frilly jokers like that won’t make it, Sons or no!”

”I think this is a clear publicity stunt,” says a portly reporter. “Probably some Cirque du Soleil wannabes looking to stir up controversy.”

Mountain Lion Moses in Nevada?

There's a shaky camera recording, taken out of a moving car.  A man in imperial clothes - The famous Emperor Norton - is walking along the side of the road, surrounded by mountain lions.

Afterwards, it cuts to a more stable, professional video of the Alien Cathouse Brothel, which is currently surrounded by fifty to sixty mountain lions.

"Today, a most incredible sight!  The Great Emperor Norton is apparently a mountain lion whisper!  We have this interview..."

A video of Emperor Norton speaking plays.

"So, why did you summon all of these mountain lions here?"

"...They are a vital keystone species of our great nation.   It was necessary to gather them all up for treatment, and there was no other way..."

The good Emperor spends a while exposing the benefits of the mountain lions.

In the background, the Emperor wanders off to yowl at a mountain lion being threatened by a broom.  The mountain lion wanders off after.

Terrorists Crash Plane Off of I-55, Killing Family of 5

The nation mourns the Margrave family today (pictured below are a farmhouse family of 5), unjustly slain in a terrible attack upon American soil. Late Sunday evening, an unregistered plane was crashed by terrorists off of I-55. The suspects fled the scene, hacking several police vehicles and leading to the death of officer James Turner. Several good citizens of Illinois were injured in the chaos as well. My heart bleeds for my fellow Illinoisans harmed in this terror attack.

The Pillars of Heaven will Tremble

Across the entire width & breadth of the Maelstrom, strange events occur.

Some events are minor, innocuous - milk curdles, wine glasses ring subtly to an unheard tone.

In other cases, the effects are dramatic - long dead volcanoes erupt, the sun emits violent solar storms & dims ever so slightly.

For those sensitive to such things, it is as if a great bell was rung. As if one of the Seven Seals of Armageddon was opened, & that the end has in fact begun. For most, life goes on as if nothing happened - the sun sets & rises, our fragile world turns on it's axis as it ever has & will continue to do so.

For the Wise, they may learn the truth. The signs & portents show that someone has walked paths no Mortal was ever meant to tread.

Gen-Wyld Giveaway? Or A New Competitor?

-And onto our next story.  A heartwarming one today.  Today, we're speaking with Jean Amers, a recipient of one of the 'mystery' organs.  Over the last couple of weeks, people on transplant waiting lists have been receiving early Christmas presents - much needed organs.

"Hi Jean.  You're looking well."

"Yeah.  I was... I was sure I was going to die, and then.. just, on the doorstep.  A cooler!  My wife was confused - thought it was a misdelivered thing.  But we looked inside, and it was a heart!  We thought it was a cruel joke for a bit, but it was a real one.  We looked it up online, and apparently some good seminarian is sending organs to people!  The hospital says they won't put it it - something about not putting random organs with no chain of knowledge or such, and-  Yeah.  I'm in Mexico now.  But it's great!  My new heart is working great."

"Thank you, Jean.  We're all glad to see you with your new heart.  So yes.  Questions abound about who is sending these organs out.  Is it a Gen-Wyld publicity stunt? Is it some competitor trying to drum up talking about themselves before revealing themselves?  Is it just some true good seminarian in a garage lab saving lives?  We truly don't know.  But one thing we can say for certain - the people whos lives these organs have saved are thankful.

Next up - urban foxes - actually kitsune?  We speak to a Japanese priest who says that 'killing stones' need to be brought to America's shores...'

Winnipeg Suspected Supernatural Assaults/Loup Garnier Found!

Winnipeg Suspected Supernatural Assaults

A young Asian woman speaks through the screen.

"During this weekend, near Christmas Eve, several suspected supernatural assailants stormed two locations, providing a terrible and gruesome scene at each. The death toll numbering three, a truly a evil and malicious act of violence on the part of these alien murderers who believe themselves above the law!

The first attack occurred around at 8:00 P.M., in the apartment complex that one of the victims, 44 year old Sullivan Barbosa Castro, lived in. We have a witness who on site when it all occurred. Miss Meskill, could you please elaborate?"

The screen cuts to a slim blonde woman who looks absolutely terrorized.

"I-I was there with Sullivan, uh doing a tarot card reading, when an explosion happened right next to me... Some rubble, I think, caught me in the shoulder and I fell down, hit my head. There was a van, I think, yeah, uh, a van that just burst through the seventh floor wall! I heard shouting next. Fire alarms blaring, i-it was terrible. A few seconds later, as I was getting up and trying to get out of there, Sullivan was getting something out of his briefcase but I heard a voice say something like, police surrender? Anyways, a bunch of fucking ghost hands appeared in front of Sullivan, blocking something before being torn apart and his fingers were blown away as whatever hit him. That's before the cold voice said something about getting Sullivan. Then his bloody skull ablates, I fucking saw his head explo-"

The Asian reporter interjects.

"Now Miss Meskill, from what I understand, this event was highly traumatizing for you?"

The blonde woman goes to open her mouth but instead meekly nods.

"Yeah... They got me to get on the floor, some shimmering force and a man in like, fire fighter gear or something... I stayed there until help arrived..."

The Asian reporter continues.

"Those were unacceptable circumstances you found yourself in, we need to increase our defense against these threats! Similar to what Reggio Calabria is doing now, the supernatural need to be put under the same jurisdiction as the rest of us are and we need increase our defenses too! Citizens, we need to keep a watchful surveillance out for any potential menaces and report them appropriately. In fact, this was not the last this group of assailants would strike today."

She takes a deep breath, adjusting her hair.

"Not even an hour later, the outstanding criminal investigator, Laura Williams and her philanthropist husband, Ted Williams, were found brutally killed. A bullet was put through Ted's head and Laura, well she was deconstructed... Literally, a savage of a human removed her piece by piece. They were attacked within the confines of the home. Neighbors report an ambulance outside the house when this happened and hearing screams.

Sullivan's body has not yet been located but he is presumed dead from Miss Meskill's testimony.

The motivation and identities of these individuals are still not known as of yet, but citizens can be assured that the police are doing their investigation into this matter."

Loup Garnier Found!

Child of famous wealthy investor, Arnold Garnier, was kidnapped on their way back to school months ago. Today though, they were found deposited outside of a police station.

Security camera footage shows the kid suddenly appearing on the doorstep.

The young child was in a terrible mental state and is currently recovering, no information has been leaked about what occurred to them as of now.

Majdanek State Museum Declines Haunted Certification

The now defunct Majdanek State Museum--which was founded in 1944 on the grounds of the Nazi Germany Majdanek death camp in Lublin, Poland--has declined a haunted certification from the Supernatural Sights Society (SSS). The Society is a small yet prestigious non-governmental organization known for its strict standards for confirming the presence of poltergeist activity. It does not give out its certifications readily, and to hold a certification near-guarantees a steady influx of tourists who seek out the paranormal.

"This is simply an administrative misunderstanding. We did not apply for certification nor do we want one," spokeswoman Agnieszka Kowalczyk-Nowak explains to the reporter. "After two devastating fires each time the museum re-opened in the last ten years, Governor Obremski has put all plans involving the museum on hold. Presently, we have no intentions of making the site open to the public as a memorial museum or otherwise."

SSS declined to disclose who specifically applied for the certification on behalf of the defunct museum, although they explained in an email that this individual "appeared to have authority to enter the property, know the property well, and coordinated the investigators' vists." Upon publicly announcing the awarding of the certificate, the NGO seemed surprised by state museum's reaction.

"Please continue to respect these hallowed grounds," Kowalczyk-Nowak asks the public. "This is not the place for sight-seeing nor playing Pokémon Go. We have increased the security to ensure that the uncountable lives lost here continue to be honored."

Wolves returning to Ohio?

....Thank you.  And now, in other news for our great state of Ohio...

Recent reports coming out of Richmond suggest that that maybe wild wolves are returning to the state.  Let's see that video, Jim.

[A shakey phone camera video is played.  It shows a group of people camping in the forest, and then there's the characteristic howl of a wolf.  Joined by other howls, becoming a chorus.]

"We're going to bring on an expert who says why this probably isn't the case, and those howls were from what has been termed by scientists as 'coy-wolves' - often raised by people who think they'll make great pets, and then just release them in the woods when they become too much to handle.  We'll be discussing why this is a bad idea, and wolves - of any type - are not pets - just after this commercial break."

The Little Rock Hill Institue

A newscast would show on MSNBC in San Francisco, California and nationwide, staying within the US airwaves mostly...

"We are here at Little Rock Hill Institution, a new school that opened up on the outskirts of San Francisco. This trade school has been opened up by several benefactors to bring together people of all faiths, and backgrounds, and offer several trades and skills to those that attend. Now this isn't any old university, it seems as if the principal has elected to hire teachers from all walks of life and all manner of skills."

The camera would pan to one such teacher, she was adorned with an attire that made her look like some form of fortune teller, complete with purple robes, piercings, and a crystal ball. "Madam Torinanna is here with us, please can you tell us more about your position and what you teach here?" The woman would smile, her black lipstick shining on camera.

"Certainly, I teach the aspects of the stars, fortunes, and the distant abyss that circles our very world." 

"I see, and you feel that is a worthwhile thing to be teaching students? Is this what you were hired for?"

"In fact, yes. I was told by our principal that this school and its instructors are from all manner of backgrounds and skill sets. From learning of law, arts, and natural aspects of biology. To learn of the extravagant, the supernatural, and the occult. Ensuring that in this day and age where sightings of possible monsters, creatures that bump in the night, and entities that are beyond our understanding- we can learn some means of understanding the unknown."

"That is quite an ambitious request, so this is a supernatural school?"

"Not per se. We are here to bring in knowledge and have teachers who are both skilled in what they do and can provide some general good to the pursuit of knowledge and understanding. As such we'd like to invite all of those who would be interested in our institution, those of supernatural origin, those interested in such, or those wishing to learn a skill set not of the mundane."

As the interview would wind down and the woman would leave out of view they would smile and say, "You've heard it here first, if you're interested in a school such as this they're offering classes, studies, and requesting teachers for a modest pay and many benefits. Back to you Tom!"

The newscast would then turn to something about how red wine could be good for you.

Calabrian Politician Changes Stances: New Bounty for Sea Monster/Modern Miracle: "An Angel Regrew My Arm!"/Tragic Passing of Lawyer

Calabrian Politician Changes Stances: New Bounty for Sea Monster

The current mayor of Reggio Calabria, Michele Roberto, has drastically changed his policies and is apparently aiming towards addressing supernatural threats in the area instead of focusing efforts on criminal activity (particularly the 'Ndrangheta) which he has been fighting for the past year.

He states: "Our current objectives should be securing a peaceful home and route for our people in these turbulent times. Powerful, esoteric, enigmatic and dangerous beings roam around our nation, preying on the hardworking citizens that call Italy home. We need to stop this!

Modern Miracle: "An Angel Regrew My Arm!"

The CSO for MedaVita, an Italian pharmaceutical company, Drina Offredi, unfortunately lost her right arm while going home several weeks ago due to mysterious circumstances. In these recent days though, she has revealed her healed and whole arm that she claims that an angel that God has sent for the company's good deeds healed.

"She looked like as if the clouds that the pearly gates of Heaven stood upon conformed itself into a human body and she fed me what looked like powdered gold entrapped within an amethyst pouch. I saw and heard a chorus when it was regrowing."

Media outlets have been reporting this piece of news and the company itself has been promoting this event. Company shares have increased by a significant portion recently, killing the drama about their controversial 'vaccine' against Ghoul Fever.

Tragic Passing of Lawyer

Paride Oscuro, a lawyer currently representing a family suing MedaVita for false claims regarding their 'vaccine' against Ghoul Fever has tragically passed due to gang violence, the perpetrators have not yet been found.

Local couple almost abducted by aliens?!

As you click on a YouTube link with an obvious clickbait title you see a video start up showing a woman standing with a local man, she would begin her interview...

"This is Lura Blackburn with Cryptids & Callsigns, I'm here with Mr. Markus Torenzo about the possible sightings of some possible cryptids or-" Being cut off the man, standing at around 5'8" and weighing well over 200 lbs would interject.

"It's aliens! I know it sounds crazy and like I'm a loon or something but even other people in town have started seeing them around more." The man would say in a mix of worry, but keeping his composure mostly as a woman beside him would pat his shoulder for him to calm down.

Lura would continue the interview. "So you say that these aliens have been showing up frequently then? Do you have any proof? Or maybe information about them? Even why they're here?" 

The woman beside him, his wife, would elaborate. "Yes, so while we were taking out the trash we noticed some furry critters nearby, we thought it was maybe raccoons but these critters stood on two legs and were CARRYING the raccoons away! I don't know why they were doing this, but I got a few pictures before they skedaddled. But it's hard to say if it's valid. "I don't know why they're here just for our pests, but if it means I don't gotta worry about them collecting us, I don't mind them much at all."

On the video a few somewhat blurry pictures of humanoid creatues holding furry objects, almost like cats were runnign behind a house. They could eaisly be mistaken for kids in costumes of some sort.

Lura would then nod, smiling before adding, "I see, maybe they're friendly aliens? Or maybe this could be a part of some deep-state, deep-space plot to start turning people into these monsters we keep seeing! Either way, thank you both for the interview! If you want to follow me on twitter, face book, or subscribe to my youtube channel please follow me on all the social medias, be sure to like, favorite, comment, and subscribe and I'll catch you next time!" 

Valent Arms and Gen-Wyld Partnership

Recent reports reveal that Valent Arms and Gen-Wyld have recently engaged in a partnership as Valent Arm's owner, Jason Valent, rises to the position of 'Head of Vehicles'. It seems like the younger company has entered a deal with Gen-Wyld in order to potentially provide them with batteries that function remarkably similar to aluminum-air batteries that AlumaPower has a patent on.

AlumaPower has not yet provided any information regarding their response nor have they pursued any legal action yet, although that may change should the new batteries that Valent Arm is working on exists their testing phase.

The new Head of Vehicles position seems to entail the responsibility of supplying the company with new developments and modifications regarding their vehicles, as such it is safe to say that individuals can expect more protection and efficiency from vehicles Gen-Wyld uses for it's various purposes, such as delivery or security.

Steve Darwin Fired/Thomas Murphy Jr.'s Funeral

----------------Steve Darwin Fired----------------

Steve Darwin was fired from his occupation eight days after he was hired by a hospital in Toronto, Canada. The reason for this being his unacceptable outburst regarding 'co-worker ghosts' as a reason to abandon his position. Steve states that they suspect the recently deceased Thomas Murphy Jr. to be the cause. Famous internet 'exorcist' and suspected charlatan, Renato Bohdan, reveals that he surveyed the area and there were "no hauntings to be seen from my third eye."

Protestor Castrated Outside Controversial Funeral

The GenWyld legal team claims the can was deflected in self defense, any damages cause are allegedly accidental. The Sons of Salem group has refuted these claims, the anti-monster group asserts the can was thrown unprovoked by the werewolfess in a violation of the groups right to peaceful protest.

A few shaky videos of the incident have surfaced but none of them clearly show the source of the can. Arguments rage in online forums of who should be held responsible for the can.

The scuffle occurred just outside of Greenwich Village Funeral Homes.

Billions Donated to Blind Children & New Controversial "Buddy" Program

After the recent passing of financial magnate and devout Republican Timothy Humbug, it was discovered that he willed his entire estate to the Blind Children’s Foundation, the fundraising arm of the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ISBVI). The undisclosed sum (estimated to be in the billions) will be used to double the capacity of the school from 150 to 300 in the next ten years, including accepting students from other states if the in-state needs are fully met. The massive remainder will be put into a lasting endowment to fund the additional operations, expand existing programs, and develop new ones in perpetuity.

Leslie Durst, Dean of Students at ISBVI, openly cried tears of joy. "A gift like this..." sniff sniff "...is unprecedented..." wipes her eyes clear "...and will benefit the lives of blind and visually impaired children for years to come." blows her nose "May the Good Lord bless your resting soul, Mr. Humbug!"

Several days after hearing the good news, ISBVI reported receiving a highly unusual, very different type of donation: a box of seven animated--quite possibly living--mute teddy bears about two feet tall and each with one unusually monstrous feature--a red slit eye, tendrils for an arm and hand, a pitch black claw leg. According to Durst, the box came with dossiers on each stuffed animal, complete with comprehensive notes on their health and professional headshots. The box also came with a letter explaining that these beings were "found in detrimental working condition," nursed back to health, and repaired by none other than the late prosthetic genius and controversial artist Dr. Rhea Allister. The letter further specified that these creatures were seeking new (residential) employment opportunities and desired to make a positive difference in the world by helping blind children. The author of the letter is unknown, although many speculate it to be Dr. Allister herself and the carrying out of her will, as stuffed animals are considered property.

According to Durst, "In honor of Dr. Allister's legacy of helping low-income youth--and after consulting with the community of parents, teachers, and students--we decided to give these, um, beings a chance."

Specifically, the school is piloting a "buddy" program for children who are both blind and who have additional developmental needs, as the stuffed animals seem to be incredibly patient while playing with and listening to the youth. The new "plushy hires" are currently on a probationary period.

Nevertheless, the decision to accept them into ISBVI as even temporary, probationary employees has been met with anti-supernatural backlash by predominantly conservative communities, including the Sons of Salem. The appearance of these creatures also sparked heated debates that Dr. Allister "went too far" by bringing such creatures to life for her own experimental purposes, although such claims are entirely speculative.

The teddy bears themselves did not provide any comments (written or otherwise).

Strange Occurrences Across the Tohoku Expressway

Fairly popular posts containing photos regarding strange occurrences across the Tohoku Expressway are posted on a website. In it, discussions regarding various different unusual events and objects which have been sighted recently are occurring.

Near Tokyo, on of the roads are several photographs of what appears to be three dead deer with body parts ripped off of them lying on the ground. Dried blood pools around them. Shattered glass seasons the floor.

Further away up North contains a post about how a hiking couple found three strange stone pillars in middle of the forest, around the road.

Even further though, a pile of dead crows lay broken on the highway.

Past that, a huge boulder that has crashed into several trees, blowing past them, is photographed. The abnormal boulder is almost four meters wide.

Nearing Aomori, a self proclaimed gas station employee writes that there was a robbery of sorts that occurred in a flash and some foreigner killed invisible demons with a wooden mallet. A pistol, rifle, two masks as well as a duffle bag was found on monstrous corpses. Part of the station also blew up according to them. The post is shortly deleted afterwards.

Sightings of a localized storm is also been discussed, right outside Aomori. A photo of a burn marks on the road is shared. A different photo of what seems to be an unnatural gargantuan wolf-like creature is taken down almost as soon as it is posted.

No one talks about these events anymore mere days later.

Village No Longer Plagued

A rural village in Kawaba is freed from whatever malevolent spirit that was ruining their crops and causing illnesses to their people. The villagers speak of a exorcist who disguises themselves as a foreigner who does not understand Japanese that bravely searches the town with a companion demon that they have subjugated. After cleverly tricking the evil wind spirit who spreads their lies as the false caretaker of the sacred shrine and shares meals with the village folk. The exorcist discovering the terrible charm that links the Kaze no Kami's horrid gaze to them determined that the creature was the disguised old man. After using their exorcist powers and freeing the guardian of the village while cutting the evil wind spirit to six equal portions after a battle that lasts five days and five nights, the exorcist leaves with but small repayment. Truly, a legend.

Magic Doctor hoax?

Front page of Reddit : 20,000 upvotes. 

A shaky phone video taken from a gurney in an underground garage shows a slightly pudgy aging doctor with glasses and a round nose. The doctor is healing the injuries of a basketball team, bones are reknit, wounds close in seconds, blood is sucked back into wounds. Various exclamations and yelling are heard through the video as the view shakes in and out of focus. In the distance of the garage a large mob is seen pouring down a ramp followed a man with the stature of a guerilla bounding from ambulance to ambulance to get in front of the crowd. The video cuts out as the giant man rushes past the frame and is quickly followed by a large mob. 

The top comments are all divisive and seem to be debating the authenticity of this video and attempting to both dox and protect the name of the doctor. Other videos are linked from cryptoleak showing the doctor in a more sedate setting from earlier in the night. Anyone searching for more then a few minutes can find the Doctor Declaring himself Dr. Terry Buckworth. 

Ashland hit by once in a generation tornado!

The Ashland spark reports that the devastation wrought upon the town seems to be the result of a freak category 5 tornado. Normally this part of the state doesn't get tornados and never one as severe as that but perhaps this is just another example of so called "global warming". In any case the tornado caused massive destruction to the towns main religious center and the buildings surrounding main street. The loss of life has been less then was originally feared but still significant. In the aftermath of the tornado before the cleanup crews and FEMA started to arrive it was reported that a snow white dog was fliting around attempting to help people. Perhaps Ashland has their very own Lassie in case of emergencies. 

Tom Snart addresses a nation in grieving as it processes the loss of Governor Jeremy Wesley.

A New Age American Hero rises from the ashes of the last:

A WTVC Channel 9 special on the legacy of the missing, presumed-dead Governor Jeremy Wesley and the inheritor of that last will legendary police officer and newly minted head of Tennessee's new Supernatural Police Force Thomas S. Snart. 

The cry of an eagle is played slightly out of sync with a CGI Eagle that crosses the screen, bringing the name of WCTV across the net in star-spangled letters before the fade-in cuts to a round table of interviewers, reporters, and at its head, Tom Snart. The legendary American police officer who had brought in Ky Matranaga when he had attempted to attack the homeless shelter in West Virginia, the man who rescued the many victims of the "Misery Mountain" incident, preventing it from spreading like wildfire across the state, and most recently the hero who's helped Tennessee by bringing in a record number of criminals from all walks of life. A history that would be at the forefront of the discussion as the first interviewer to speak, a middle-aged, eyed Caucasian man in a suit would say

"Today, we come together to honor the memory of Republican Governor Jeremy Wesley. Search teams have been deployed, police have searched, and we've received no demands or political statements as to what may have occurred to the now presumed late governor and thus, for we are here to honor a lifetime of political contributions and, of course, to speak with the man who claims to embody his will in this uncertain time Special Response Unit Commander Thomas S. Snart. First, though, allow us to observe a moment of silence in memory of a pillar of American Politics."

The assembled people bow their heads as the music cuts, and the room is filled with a leaden silence, some praying, others merely closing their eyes and remaining silent in memorium as for 15 seconds, the 24/7 cycle of infotainment stops in honor of a legendary fallen.

The man then brings his head up and addresses Snart directly just as the period ends with 

"With the moment of silence done, I want to get right into this. I've heard it said that you believe you're somewhat of an inheritor of Jeremy Wesley's will. Do you believe carrying forward his mission of moderate supernatural rights backed by strong law enforcement policies is the best way to do this? I'm curious how you think this will help with the horrifying supernatural crimes we've been experiencing over the past months. For instance, that poor woman was involved in what some call the "Cerberus" incident.

How do you propose we incorporate that into the future of America? Do you believe that the monsters who perpetuated that evil deserve rights the same as you or I?" 

Snart beams at everyone present in response, not seeming even to have the capacity to wilt before such questions as the somewhat obese but powerfully built man in an ill-fitting suit would respond with 

"Of course, I believe I am the inheritor of Governor Wesley's last will. It was the last thing he did to bring me to Tennessee and put me into contact with all the resources at his disposal to ensure it'd have a protector. I think he even knew that something was coming; he was always so much brighter than the rest of us that way. He was a kind and giving man and a paragon of what Americans should be. As for that awful business, viewing this from the position of focusing on capturing the villains who did that to the woman rather than doing everything in our power to help that now supernatural family is part of the problem that modern America faces. We need to capture and bring them to justice, but that's the job of people like me. Police officers, forensic lab workers, and our brave detectives make up the backbone of American justice.

I believe that it is our place to handle the horror of the world and that it should be, in an ideal world, the duty of the American people to focus on rebuilding the lives of the victims these awful people leave in their wake. Why should we punish the victims by limiting their rights in the wake of these attacks? After all, we don't focus on serial killers as a basis for determining human rights every time some awful person crawls out of the woodwork. No, we come together, and we help rebuild those damaged communities. So yes, whoever is responsible for the Cerberus incident and the destruction of that beautiful American family's lives deserves the full wrath of the American Justice System. In turn, police should be outfitted with new gear to handle those problems as they emerge; I do not think these measures should be directed at the law-abiding super-able populous of America." 

The interviewer would nod, writing a few things down on a legal pad before continuing his inquiries, his gaze on Tom Smart's various gen-wyld badges as he'd say

"Super-able. A new woke term that's been crawling around the internet, when we both know that the people who boast these new incredible abilities are threats to ordinary people like you or me. It seems that the police cannot adequately protect us with current equipment. While it may be well and good to look at the victims, I do agree that the poor woman who was so horribly mutilated along with her two toddlers deserves all of America's vast care and resources.

I cannot help but feel like we need more robust responses to prevent victims in the first place. An ounce of prevention always beats a pound of cure. You should know that especially given your connections to Gen-Wyld." 

Thomas smiles and nods throughout the statement, though his expression grows more severe with every spoken word as frown lines crease what had been a ceaseless smile until now as he responds.

"I wouldn't call embracing something that previously had no name "Woke," but indeed. There are some people who, when given power, opt to use it selfishly. For evil even. Me and my sister, Police Chief Lyn Snart, and I have spent our lives very aware of the background supernatural threats that law enforcement has always had to face. Still, we've also dedicated our lives to acting as first responders should, even in the face of these incredible threats. We are using non-lethal force until there is no other choice, as we know that at the end of all of this, these new super-able individuals understand themselves as much as we do. This is all raw and new, and in these turbulent times, we need to be compassionate for those individuals even if we find what they've done repugnant because, in my belief, we're looking at the birth of a new kind of humanity. In time, history will judge us by how we treated the latest and the vulnerable when we had the reigns of power in our hands, and I don't want to be remembered as being the guy who kicked these new kids down into the dirt while they were learning to walk."

The interviewer nods and then turns to the audience as he gestures at the camera with a pen as he says

"A powerful stance, but will it be enough to protect America? That's our discussion and our time for today. We'll catch you next time on WCTV Channel 9 News!" 

Once again, the eagle cry sounds, and the logo for WCTV is pulled across the screen as the debate on supernatural rights and the severity with which their bizarre crimes should be treated rages. 

Mr. Ford Gets a Visit

Two men were flown in to have a meeting with Harold Ford for business, the said business is unknown, but it seemed to be a Nathan Hong and a Klaus M Locke. After meeting at the Ford Motor Company the trio would sit in Mr. Harold's office and talk about business and other manners, a secretary would be outside yet wouldn't detail much however it would be some hours before the trio would leave, plane tickets would be given to the two men and they would be happily flown back to their respective homes. Continued possible payments to Mr. Nathan Hong are seemingly in Mr. Fords future.

"The Cerberus," maiden name Cho Stanton, found in Mt. Pleasant SC

"The Cerberus"

Carolina woman and her sons found clinging to life in alleyway.

Authorities responded to a call concerning a stalled vehicle near city outskirts - on closer inspection, officers found the mutilated corpses of the Welling family's two infant sons, George and Emily, and their father Nathan - a pastor of the nearby Christ Is King Mt Pleasant Baptist community.

Just 15 feet away was found the barely conscious Cho with her two son's heads cruely grafted onto her shoulders.

Additionally, the father's missing legs were found grafted where hers should be. The whereabouts of miss Cho's missing legs, as well as a majority of the rest of the family's corpses are pending investigation.

Cho, George, and Emily are all recovering in the Prisma Health Greenbelt Hospital, and both her sons are regaining cognitive function as days go by - doctors say.

Miss Cho Welling has had need to be sedated throughout her visit. While psych staff and police investigators attempted to consult her, she attempted to rip her infant sons' heads from her shoulder, and tear the ventilator out of her neck. Doctors are in consultation with the Doctors of Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin; and are reportedly considering a radical life-saving surgery for Miss Cho and her sons.

All across South Carolina, citizens are crying their support for miss Cho, and demanding state action for this otherworldly act of  evil.

Far right Human-Supremacist group 'God's Hands' has denounced this as a supernatural event, and offered a bounty of 60 thousand dollars for information leading to the arrest or killing of the supernatural beings involved.

Next, the weather.

California vs Collins

THE TRIAL OF THE YEAR

In a landmark case, California Attorney General Luke Campbell was dealt a resounding defeat by sitting Judge Anika Brown: Mark Collins was proven Not Guilty by a jury of his peers, defeating multiple serious charges, including culpability in the death of one Cpl. Buddy Johnson

//Included is a pic of a young soldier smiling for the camera.

While the next step in this investigation is unclear, the Attorney Generals attempts to politicize the trial by invoking laws against Metahuman Citizens seems to have backfired dramatically - with Public Opinion swinging further & further against the predations of such known Metahuman criminals as Ky Matranaga & David Silvana, an exoneration for a beloved public figure such as Mark Collins may mean a path of co-existence may still be possible in a world reeling from new terrors every day.

Adding to the controversy of these events is apparent philanthropist turned activist Joao Jean DeLeon - the offer of extravagant payment offered as a dragon's hoard of gold has garnered a great deal of media attention, which was perhaps the point

//An image of an outline with a question mark appears on the screen

What is the relationship between DeLeon & Collins? There was no comment on record at the time of this reporting.

The return of the mother of dragons!

Anderson Cooper 360

Hello, America. This is Anderson Cooper. Today I'm joined by a very special guest, Iryna Vorobyova. We all know Iryna as a humanitarian, a scientist, a celebrity, and a hero. But last year she suddenly disappeared off the face of the planet for several months without a trace. Her closest friends and family were unable to get into contact with her. During this time, the world assumed she was dead.

However last week Iryna returned, extinguishing a high rise fire in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev. She is credited with saving dozens of lives for that event, but it is only the most recent in a string of daring rescues and amazing feats. 

Some conspiracy theorists claim that this Iryna is only an imposter. Is she the real deal? Let's speak to her and find out. 

Thank you so much for meeting with me today, Iryna. 

"Thank you, Anderson. The pleasure is mine." 

Now I think the biggest question on everyone's mind is how did you die, and how did you come back to life?

“Who said anything about dying? Can’t a woman drop off the map for a few months without everyone assuming she’s bones in a ditch somewhere?” She gives a hearty chuckle. “But no, I didn’t die. I was severely injured by a hail of gunfire, alongside several explosions which tried to finish me off. I can shrug off a lot, but that all rendered me in a state where I had to retreat deep underground, to heal and rebuild my strength. They seemed content with not finding a body.”

Well we are all glad that you’re back. Tell me, what’s next for the Mother of Dragons?

“Well I’ve had a lot of time to think, and I can’t give you all the details right this, lest I make promises I can’t keep. But leaving this interview I’ll be making a couple calls, to Green Peace and O.W.L. That should tell you about the work I have planned.”

Awesome. One last question: do you still have the dragon?

“Vuhlynka. He is in the care of one of my very capable friends every time I leave the boat, and the first thing I did after returning was ensure he was in good health.”

Well there you have it. Three cheers for the mother of dragons' triumphant return!

Cultists Killed

A number of cultists have been killed in a forest, not really a loss given all the hell they wanted to raise.

CNN News special, An Interview with Dr.Julie Barre on the legacy of now recognized Prosthetic Genius Dr.Rhea Allister

The iconic news blast sounds, the infotainment cycle that continuously repeats day in and day out, a cycle built to dose the viewer with as much dopamine as possible to keep them complacent more than to inform. Each of the more forgettable than the last leads to nothing but an attempt to placate people into accepting the mundanity of their lives. Today, however, at least one news broadcast was different.

The screen pans to show a pair of women, dressed in somber tones, and with none of the flair and bombastic music that normally accompanies the cycle. Instead, there is merely silence as the interviewer waits for the expert to become comfortable, and then once sure that the opposite side is ready she speaks

"Today, we've come to talk about a problem that seems inescapable for humanity. That genius is never recognized in its time, and we seem to have done it again with Dr.Rhea W. Allister. With me today to talk about the accomplishments of Dr.Rhea's life and the impact her prosthesis research has beyond it is Dr. Julie G Barre. An orthopedic surgeon specializing in reconstructive surgery from Sarasota Florida."

She pauses for a moment to allow the interviewee to wave to the camera and nods before continuing her first prepared question

"In life, Dr.Rhea was never a doctor of much repute, her theories discredited by right-wing extremists who believed and continue to believe that anything even somewhat beyond natural is an affront to their religion, but in her passing and the research on the continued impact of her surgical enhancements and treatments on the children of St.Jude's Children's Research Hospital in New York. Which is why we've called you here today Dr.Barre, I believe you and your associates were in charge of this research is that correct?" 

The woman sits up straighter now having been asked a direct question, and she gazes back at her interviewer with the beaming confidence that accompanies a lifetime of earned accomplishment as she responds with

"Yes, I and my associates at my practice were called in to do follow-ups on Dr.Rhea's work after her passing. There we saw something incredible, minimal rates of rejection, an incredible infection rate of 0% from the surgery itself once we corrected for hospital-borne infections in our figures, and her prosthetics while lacking in aesthetic appeal to some answered many other problems like bone density and nerve connection that we'll be using in even the most advanced prosthesis for decades to come. I'd even go as far as to say that if Dr.Rhea had been able to live long enough after her development of this technique a Nobel prize for her advancements in this field would not have been out of the question. Unfortunately, thanks to the influence of those in the sons of Salem, at least according to their public claims, we will be denied such genius in our time."

The interviewer's expression drops as she pauses for a moment, before continuing with 

"A tragic loss for America indeed it sounds like, despite being on the Sons of Salem's most wanted list her genius seems to outshine their outcry against her controversial appearance in her passing. Which, speaking of, I believe you had an announcement regarding the final proceedings for Dr.Alister?" 

Dr.Burre will nod, and reach into her bag producing a prepared poster with several locations on it and some information she'd read aloud

"Indeed, we are preparing several memorial services for Dr.Alister, where those with her prosthesis or those who knew her in life may come to pay her respects. There will be several smaller showings open to the public of course on the dates that CNN has told me they will play across the screen after this interview, and then we will be having a final private funeral where those of medical status, and those with her implants or prosthesis may attend to see her to her final rest as per Dr.Alister's last will. We've already been in talks with the NYPD as well in regards to providing security for the occasion so those who attend may do so without fear of reprisal by the Sons of Salem." 

The tone in her voice sounds almost hopeful at the end of it, in stark contrast to the somber and somewhat depressed tone the rest of the interview has held but the interviewer will turn and cut this all off as she says

"Thank you, and thank you all for watching as that's our time. Next up, 7 fantastic ways you can improve your quality of life with social media."

The news of Lungisa's newfound financial backing has brought a glimmer of hope to this small township, which has long been grappling with severe poverty and food scarcity. With the staggering unemployment rate, exacerbated by the devastating impact of the Ghoul Fever pandemic, many families found themselves slipping into indigence and a life of crime.

Aware of the dire situation, Lungisa has been at the forefront of community initiatives, tirelessly advocating for support to feed those facing hunger. Now, armed with the incredible monthly sum, she intends to bring about true change by establishing a community garden that will provide fresh produce for the soup kitchen.

The exact identity of the mysterious benefactor remains shrouded in secrecy, undoubtedly adding an air of intrigue to their philanthropic actions. Lungisa, overwhelmed by this remarkable act of kindness, is not deterred by the anonymous nature of the benefactor, believing that it is the impact of their generosity that truly matters.

While Lungisa acknowledges that the monthly sum will be immeasurably helpful in establishing the garden and soup kitchen, she realizes that long-term sustainability is key. She plans to invest in training community members to tend the garden and cultivate vital skills in sustainable agriculture. As the project grows, local volunteers will lend their helping hands to create a self-sustaining initiative for the long haul.

The Alexandria community has rallied around Lungisa, inspired by her unwavering dedication to their welfare. Speculation about the identity of the mysterious benefactor has sparked conversations across the township, with hope and optimism spreading among residents like wildfire.

As Lungisa delves into the planning and execution of her vision, the people of Alexandria eagerly await the transformation that this initiative promises to bring. With every seed planted and every meal served, the impact of the community garden and Vegan soup kitchen will reverberate far beyond the confines of this small township, reminding us all of the power of compassion and the strength of unity.

Trouble in Paradise?

"Drug Bust gone wrong, Interpol and unknown assailants to blame."

[Introduction: News set with interviewer standing across from the owner of the pet store. The backdrop shows the store sign and a busy coastal street of people crowding around the half-hazardly barricaded store]

Interviewer: Good evening viewers, we are here today with Ms. Sophia Miller, the owner of a pet store in the tranquil coastal city of Greece. Ms. Miller, could you please share with us what transpired at your store recently?

Sophia: Well, it was a truly terrifying experience. We were just going about our normal business when suddenly we heard gunshots coming from the alleyway next to our store.

Interviewer: Gunshots? That must have been terrifying. Did you witness anything that could explain this incident?

Sophia: There seemed to be some sort of altercation between an Interpol Agent and another man on the roof of our store. The Agent requested access to the roof in order to deal with a drug bust, or so they said a few days ago. It's not something we deal with regularly here in our small coastal city, but they had a badge, so I let them in.

Interviewer: That sounds highly unusual. Can you give us any information about what exactly happened during this confrontation?

Sophia: Well, after the shots were fired, a man barged into our store. He appeared to be attacking the wounded Agent with some sort of acidic slime as they were coming down stairs. It was an absolutely horrifying sight; I had to hide behind the counter in order not to get caught in the crossfire.

Interviewer: Acidic slime? That's truly disturbing. Do you have any idea who this attacker might have been? Did you notice anything peculiar about him?

[There is a long pause, before they continue speaking. Their hands gripping tightly onto some loose American Dollars]

Sophia: I can't say for sure who he was, as I didn't recognize him. He was wearing a mask, making it difficult to identify him. All I remember is that he swiftly ran away and escaped in a van that drove by.

Interviewer: That sounds like a truly dreadful situation to go through. How are you coping with this incident?

Sophia: It has left us all in a state of shock. Our city has never experienced anything like this before. We are cooperating fully with the authorities in any way we can to help them apprehend whoever did this, and repairing any damage to the store.

Interviewer: Thank you, Ms. Miller, for sharing your experiences with us. Hopefully, the authorities will soon bring this dangerous individual to justice. Is there anything else you would like to say to the viewers?

Sophia: Just a word of caution to everyone in our community. Stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the police.

[Conclusion: The interviewer thanks Ms. Miller for her time, and the camera pans out as the segment comes to an end, passing by the face of a wounded Interpol Agent in bitter disappointment.]

A Fox News Interview Special: Ted Grundy Speaks on the death of "Dr".Rhea Allister.

A Fox News Main Event on this week's issue of The Ingraham Angle: 

Ted Grundy Speaks:

An American Hero's view on the death of the groomer doctor.

This headline screams across the screen in bold red, white, and blue with a billowing flag behind it and the iconic scream of a bald eagle announcing it to the many who look to the Alternative Facts channel for guidance around the country. A nation gripped by the struggle the sons pushed to the forefront in these turbulent and uncertain political times. Pundits, internet talk show hosts, and podcasts like Joe Rogan poured over this for a week as attention swirled around Ted Grundy's first major appearance on a stage this large. Their involvement in the imprisonment of Ky Matranaga was something they had crowed about for weeks despite the rejection of all associations by national hero Tom Snart, with some even claiming that they had brought the devil out to drag Ky back to hell with a prison exorcism fueled by holy oil and the fervent faith of their order. 

The buzz around this is willingly or not, drilled in the skull of anyone with any active media account over this period, until the day of the fateful interview.

The screen will open to a small, but tidy, room with two chairs facing opposite each other. The intense lighting that came with being on any set cast a glare off the metallic cowboy hat and ivory bolo tie making him look almost like an old west oil baron in some ways. Yet the near face splitting grin on his face painted the image of a child in a candy store as the woman across from him, the host of the show and a middle aged blonde woman wearing a painfully intense pink dress would ask him a question

"So, Ted. Is it okay if I call you Ted? You came on this show today to talk about the doctor that has been pushing our children to embrace the monstrous parts of themselves in addition to embracing the darkness of the trans agenda today, but I have one question that's been on everyone's minds. In these turbulent times, with supernatural threats on every horizon, we understand that drastic measures are sometimes needed to protect American futures. So, we have to know, did you and the sons have a hand in striking down this known supernatural menance?" 

Ted's grin, impossible, seems to widen at this the man's chest puffing with all the pride of a middle aged man having bought his first muscle car as he'll respond with a deep, and booming reply of;

"of course! Though that's not to say that we had any direct hand in killing her, rather, that our prayers were answered by the almighty on high. For though we are but simple servants, the lord almighty understands that when he hears his people cry as he did in Egypt he must strike down with righteous fury to eradicate the great evils of these lands. Just as our prayers too, did eradicate Ky Matranaga from this world condemning him to the eternal hellfire that he had once thought his source of power, so too have we in our ardent faith helped the Almighty to see where wickedness and corruption was seeping into the heart of humanity itself!" 

Ms. Ingraham writes a few notes down on a clipboard as she takes in this response, her plastered news reel smile never leaving her face as she'd continue her questioning with

"So you're saying that the deaths of these groomers, and devils, is the result of true faith returning to the world? Would you say that if we had more Christians, more true believers and republicans like yourself that God would continue to strike down evil in response to prayers?"

Ted nods, and will pull a mini bible out of his chest pocket reciting scripture 

"Of course. The lord is vengeful and wrathful towards sinners. It is even said in Deuteronomy 32:35 "To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

Now many people interpret this differently, but here in the sons of salem we interpret it as thus. Those idolaters, groomers, and sinners who reject the lord's light will not be safe merely because they hide in the darkness from us, but instead, that the lord shall visit HIS vengeance upon them and they will quake with fear for in their last moments shall know his name!"

Ms. Ingraham laughs and nods along as she nods enthusiastically, emboldened by this statement as she'll say

"Of course, and this is a perfect example of where a godless life leads you. Those who live in his light may know mercy, but those without will know his wrath. Well, Ted, that's our time. Thank you for showing up to be with us today, and we look forward to having The Sons of Salem on our show again."

Ted will nod and stand, tipping his cowboy hat as he finishes with

"It was my pleasure, and don't you worry, the Sons of Salem aren't going anywhere for a long, long, time." 

Then, the exit music plays, and the next segment's title blasts across the screen as the last had. The 24/7 news entertainment cycle marched on as the world was left to process what had been said. 

Store burnt down on extraterrestrial highway

A store in Amargosa Valley, Nevada burnt down just yesterday. Foul play is suspected to have played a part. Rumors circulate that this may have been due to the activity of aliens or the action of supernatural terrorists seeking to infiltrate the nearby Area 51.

Former Pepsi Spokeswoman Alice Decker Discovered Deceased in Ohio - Heartbreaking Recording Nearby; Unsuitable for All Audiences

NY Post 

By Andrew Court, Angela Sampson, Jax Karbas

This story contains material of a highly sensitive nature, including suicide, that may be triggering for some individuals.

Last night, an anonymous individual called in the discovery of two things- a scorched section of field, an abandoned car, and a camcorder containing one video. 

A face recognizable as Alice Decker (or possibly Melanie Dakerra) is turned half towards the camera, her body hunched in the driver's seat of a car. She seems emotionless, her eyes turned away, looking through the front windshield at the empty field behind her. It looks like sunset. 

"A couple of days ago, I realized that I'm not who I should be, who I really am, but that I can free myself and step into my true form--a different form--through death. These flames aren't going to be the end, but the beginning. I know that I will return and finally become who I was always meant to be and do the things I was meant to do--a chance to live the life that I should have all along."

She turns to the camera, her eyes glassy, though her expression remains flat. Her hands fold in her lap earnestly.

"Darling, your love these past few months has made me stronger. It has given me the strength to tear down--to burn to the ground--so that I can rebuild. I hope that you find peace in your current form or the next, with or without me."

Alice reaches for the camera, and the video cuts off. 

Despite Pepsi's commercial featuring Alice Decker hitting television and YouTube less than two weeks ago, and the backlash Decker has faced after revealing herself to have the ability to turn into a telekinetic pony, Pepsi denies any deeper knowledge of Miss Decker's death.

Pepsi also denies any knowledge of Melanie Dakerra, Alice Decker's apparent doppelganger, and her newfound success. While logically, we cannot endorse any connection between the two, as a news outlet, we must acknowledge the questions people may ask.

No family or friends of Miss Decker have come forward to speak on the matter. The scorched land near the discovered vehicle included the remnants of a few teeth that could be traced back to the tragically departed star.

Kung Fu Husky: A potential cult classic?

While it is not a big enough film to draw serious critics, a few minor film podcasts pick it up:

"Asher Keaton's directorial debut is clearly inspired by his old school love of Hollywood action thrillers. A well known stunt man in the industry, "Kung Fu Husky brings solid FX, fights, thrills, & impressive stunts to the table. While all of this is good, it is clearly out of touch with modern audiences, with dialogue & pacing seeming rushed to make way for the next big scene - new actress Rose Vuulpin as Adeline brings notable charm to her role, but can't quite give life to the hackneyed script - this is particularly notable when the villain (Igor Russovich? Come on...) delivers his stilted lines in a way that can only be called "so bad it's funny."

All that being said, the role of jack, played by best boy Duke is by far the highlight of what would otherwise be a mediocre action flick: Jack steals the show with such uncanny charm that you would think he's a CG insert. Some insist that Duke must be an augmented wonder dog from Gen-Wyld, ironically mirroring the plot - whatever the case, the heartwarming chemistry between Adeline & Jack is what pushes "Kung Fu Husky" to a 4/5 stars for anyone who likes tongue in cheek action films like "Shaolin Soccer" or "Kung Fu Hustle."

New York Times Best Seller “ The Chronicles of Charles Landwick: Ghoul Galleria” by Luna Fairfox

The room is dark; dust hovers in slow motions, like the waves of a calm ocean while rain peppers the single window at the back. Shades and shadows of expensive clothing and ornate jewelry are strewn about the room in disarray, as if the work of an angry feline with a temper tantrum tore through like a natural disaster. A single dim lamp illuminates the room- though, the faint glitters emanating from the background are overshadowed by the two figures centered upon the spotlight.

Charles Landwick is seated upon a lounging chair made of Nappa Lambskin Leather- a gourd calabash pipe in one hand and a cracked glass filled with whiskey in the other. Attired in his brown trousers, wrinkled from work and unzipped halfway down the front, packs all manner of mysteries and surprises while his white unbuttoned dress shirt remains open- leaving nothing to the imagination. Chiseled abs glisten with sweat against the light- softly caressed by the scantily red dressed blonde with a pale blue and purple, almost ghostly, discoloration in her skin, like a corpse's casket bouquet. She traces a finger down Charles' sternum and peers up into his violet eyes with amber irises of her own that emit a faded glow. If the cover of the book is tilted, both of their eyes glimmer.

Her other hand is in the process of softly caressing his Dapper Pomp styled brunette hair. The sinister reality of her ghoulish veil, seemingly unrealized to Landwick, is revealed in their shadow, cast from the lone light. A curled claw aimed down at his head like a looming threat shrouded by mystique- an enigma to inevitably be solved by Charles' ever vigilant gaze, yet momentarily a veiled conundrum.

International Teen Pop-Star Smoke Locket Missing! Search underway in Alaska.

Hello, I'm Jane Tel, with Channel Six news.

Today is the third day of a desperate search for Teen Pop-Star Smoke Locket, and while rescue operations are still underway, hope is beginning to dim.   Mr. Locket, known best for his hit album 'Eternally Embraced', along with platinum hit single 'Clawed Hugs and Crimson Kisses', was reportedly in Alaska for 'a job' - further details may still be forthcoming.  However, what we know is, Mr. Locket was reported taking a fishing boat out into the arctic vortex last week.  Alaskan Coast Guard reported receiving a distress signal from such craft, but the storm delayed rescue operations. So far, the storm has a confirmed casualty count of one, but in the coming days that number could climb as high as twenty as search and rescue operations transition to recovery.

This is Jane Tel, with Channel Six news.

We must remain vigilant against this celestial threat and guard our hearts from their wicked temptations.

Ky: The Living Devil
Even the protection of prison walls cannot diminish the terror that Ky embodies. Dubbed the "devil in human flesh", Ky's incarceration for murder is but a glimpse into the depths of his depravity.

Dr. Rhea: Humanity's Slow Demise
The fusion of man and machine was once the stuff of science fiction. Now, it's a grim reality personified by Dr. Rhea.

The link is a page that leads to... a summarized and analysis of news reports and articles about a new subspecies of existing creatures/cryptids causing mayhem amongst the American populace...

Even local news starts to pick up on this topic as it gains traction.

A news reporter stands outside what appears to be a park reserve, trees litter the background and around it, multiple warning signs and even fences gating off the area. 
"This just in, Here, live at Michigan, another body has been found. A trespasser entered within this very park and was reported missing 24 hours ago. This is the 8th incident this month. Similar to previously, the body was found impaled and mangled badly. Burnt with Lichtenberg figures along their body and the ground around them. We suspect it was the White stag that was previously spotted here, docile and rather friendly at first, whatever happened has caused it to be extremely hostile to us." As the reporter says this, for a moment, a flash of light can be seen before a loud explosion is heard over the camera and one of the tree's behind the fence sets fire. The crew breaks into a sprint after getting up and the report is cut short.

Mysterious Purple Glitter Pollutes San Francisco!

Northern California news channels spread the story (although it spreads farther and faster over social media):

Local authorities are investigating what some say is a simple prank and what others call "pure sadism" and "an act of environmental terrorism" as the pristine city of downtown San Francisco becomes irrevocably infected with purple glitter. Faint clusters of glitter seemed to fall out of the clear blue sky for hours, carried far and wide by the usual Bay Area wind. The phenomena was first noticed by several people and posted to social media sites around 9:00 AM as a light drizzling of glitter appeared. Soon this sparkly layer spanned hundreds of city blocks. Local authorities (as well as the social media-savvy public) quickly determined that the plastic pollution originated around the iconic Salesforce Tower because it accompanied fears of a break-in.

Specifically, Salesforce reported that the phenomenon likely began in the morning or overnight because, around 8:00 AM as employees arrived to the building, they found faint spots of purple glitter throughout the entire skyscraper. It seems to have spread in the vents of the tower's A/C system. A later inspection of the Salesforce Tower rooftop led to the discovery of hundreds of pounds of glitter that was slowly being picked up and tossed over the edge by the wind. By 1:00 PM, the sprinkling of what one influencer called "violet pixie dust" mysteriously ended as subtly as it began.

An independent lab in San Francisco has already conducted an analysis of the glitter and confirms, "it's just your average arts and crafts materials. Nothing special here."

Salesforce denies being the cause, decrying the glitter dump as "an irresponsible marketing stunt to mar our good reputation." Local LGBTQIA+ groups have also spoken out against the glitter stunt. Adding to the mystery, news stations have not yet received any anonymous messages. An estimated 1,000 lbs of purple glitter dropped into the city.

If someone's trying to make a statement, their message is unclear. 

#FungalFeedingFrenzy goes viral!

Channel 7 NBC News with a Special on The Latest Trend Affecting Your Children!

This month has seen the rise of the latest, and perhaps strangest, of the viral challenge trends that have been sweeping through the American Youth today. Starting in Nevada after a video of a half-clothed Gen-Wyld enthusiast known as "Emily Miller" after the woman in question had stopped a strange, and some believe supernatural, hijacking attempt on the much loved "Porcine Porter" that had been transporting alien enthusiasts through the region for the past 20 years before taking a seat and asking a passenger for any anti-fungal medication they had. The video then goes on to show the woman drinking the entire tube while sobbing uncontrollably. Some have likened this to the behavior of a depressed alcoholic, others have claimed that it was an attempt to treat some unknown medical condition.

What is known is that tens of thousands have attempted to emulate this already in the form of a "Challenge". The so-called "Fungal Feeding Frenzy" challenge or as some are calling it "Mushroom Mukbang"' ing, the context of the strange challenge involves eating a large amount of mushroom spore powder and then consuming as much anti-fungal foot cream as possible to kill the previously consumed spores.

Popular streamers have found themselves inundated with requests to undertake the challenge, and there have already been 10 hospitalizations regarding the challenge as many fame-seeking hopefuls attempt to emulate the famous face of Gen-Wyld's "Furry" augmentation line, and despite warnings from news centers and health professionals, it seems like this "Feeding Frenzy" isn't going away anytime soon. 

Slick AI goes live!

Various news sites, tech insiders, and reporters the world over have been baffled by a new player in the emergent AI warzone that is modern tech. With no major players like Meta, Apple, Microsoft, or Open AI behind this new model, many of them are baffled as to where such an advanced model would have come from given it would need billions of dollars in network infrastructure to deploy and maintain the level of users that it has seen. Yet, with inquiries into AWS, Azure, and other hosting services not producing any actionable information the world can only scratch their heads at the origin of this incredible new AI's features! 

Elon Musk has been cited stating that the services it provides border on the dangers, with no legal restrictions, and no distinction on whether or not NSFW or even illegal content can be created with the service he believes that it presents a real and present danger to society as a whole. When questioned as to whether or not this statement was at odds with his current investments in other large AI players, Musk refused to comment. 

These concerns were put to rest as well when Government Agencies confirmed they received a large anonymous tip from what they can only presume is the force behind Slick AI detailing everyone who had been requesting illegal services or information from the platform. Providing complete histories, IP addresses, and even physical addresses for the dangerous individuals in question. 

After this battery of arrests around the globe of confirmed dangerous individuals the public's opinion is now split. Is this all merely a morally motivated AI sting set up by some government agency and now you risk your data and digital privacy by using the service with users having to merely content themselves with the idea that they live and die on the enigmatic creator's moralistic whims, or is the service safe to use and you should only be concerned if you have something to hide? 

The world waits with bated breath to see. 

(Any PC or NPC that uses it receives +2 dice to technology rolls used in the process of research.) 

LAist: Haunted Sleepover Scam Artist Arrested!

Today Johnathan Quiroz was arrested by local authorities in Jalpa, Zacatecas, Mexico just four days after fleeing the United States with the $1,000,000 that he and his business partner Chris Olem acquired through the "Dare & Scare Parlor" scam--a small business formerly known as the Sweet Fun Parlor in Alhambra, Los Angeles. According to the FBI, an anonymous tip was provided within 48 hours of Quiroz and Olem's disappearance making the news. Only $240,000 of the million dollars were recovered at his relative's home where he was arrested.

According to U.S. federal fraud laws, mass marketing fraud becomes a federal offense when it involves interstate or international commerce. Because a large portion of the online buyers of the haunted sleepover packages were located out-of-state, this scam will likely count. If found guilty, Quiroz and Olem could get up to 30 years in prison as well as fines of, ironically, up to $1 million.

Chris Olem is still at large. Feel free to contact the FBI anonymously if you have any information at anonymoustips.fbi.gov.

LAist: Haunted Sleepover Scam

Ghost tourism has reached an all-time high since the rise of Ghoul Fever, along with the scam artists.

Take the Sweet Fun Parlor, a small business in Alhambra, as an example. Budding entrepreneur Johnathan Quiroz purchased the humble kids party place and reframed it as a "genuine haunted experience." On his YouTube channel, Quiroz claims he and his business partner, Chris Olem, toured the place three weeks ago in the evening with an interest in taking over the reputable business. As they toured the interior, it appeared to Quiroz to be extremely burned. However, to Olem it appeared to be flooded out and moldy. They claimed to have photographic evidence of the phenomena, which they shared online. However, upon returning the following day, the interior was in pristine condition.

"At first I thought the grandma was insane, and then I wondered if we were insane... But then I realized that this place could provide something unique--what so many people want!"

A website for the promptly re-branded "Dare & Scare Parlor" offered one-, two-, and three-night haunted sleepover packages at a whopping $600 a night per person for up to 15 people each night. Within two weeks, the location booked up for the rest of the year.

However, just three days ago the Supernatural Sights Society investigated the site and declined to certify it.

"After spending two nights and conducting a seance, the Society cannot provide confirmation that this site is haunted," comments James Madison, long-time SSS Investigator. 

"I want my money back!" Emily Knightly declared as she stood outside of the closed shop, reflecting the sentiment of over 1,000 customers. Unlucky for them, both Quiroz and his partner have conveniently vanished.

It's safe to say that with approximately $1,000,000, the two entreprenuers are living a sweet, fun life. It was a good investment after all.

Horror Strikes Goshen! 

The scene the camera depicts is one of chaos. Cars run off the road into local buildings, the sound of sirens blaring in the background, and broken families looking on in despair at what was once an integral part of their lives as their storefront currently has a bus from the "Our Sister of Mercy" sisterhood through the front display window and most of the building. A somber looking reporter, a woman in her twenties with raven hair and brown eyes wipes mascara from her face as she addresses the camera 

"It is with great sadness that I come to you all today, as Ky Matranaga. Once thought dead, but now known to have merely evaded justice. The San Francisco Bay Devil, The Priest Pummeler, and now.. The Demonizer of The Defenseless has struck Goshen Indiana. Having proclaimed himself to be the actual devil, he first started by killing Deputy Jacob Brooks during a routine traffic stop where it can be seen that the officer in question did not even have time to draw his firearm before him and his newfound accomplice, a man identified as Logan Wells whom social media is now calling the Arborial Assassin or the Demonic Deciduous viciously attack the man.

You can also see that as they fled the scene after failing to kill his partner they recklessly drove through oncoming traffic. Caused mass devastation and numerous traffic accidents where many were injured, and the local leader of the Bikers Against Child Abuse chapter of Goshen Indiana Kevin Hartwell was killed in a reckless display of disdain for human life. A statewide manhunt is underway for these two heinous killers, and authorities claim they already have leads regarding curtailing this demonic duo's future activities. So, until we have more, this is Channel 7 News Goshen signing out as we observe a moment of silence for the dead."

Blogger Bag Buffet

A news anchor, one of many vying for your attention as you scroll through the front page of whatever news app you frequent, calls out in a small frame with a haunted look in his eyes. You're intruiged. What did this guy see?

The title of the article is Blogger Bag Buffet, a jarring and comedic discrepancy from the footage playing behind the news anchor. It shows a small-time travel blogger's selfie cam, a short video that loops.

The blogger grins and waves at the camera, picking up the handle of a suitcase and rolling it along a street into an alleyway. The bag's handle seems to grow stickier, visible even through the shaky footage, and almost seems to be grabbing at the hand.

The blogger's looking where they're going, and switches the camera to a photogenic alley cat before the camera drops and crunches and muffled screams are heard. The phone bounces and the image whirls, stopping to show the suitcase - now bearing a set of oversized fangs in a lipless, fluid maw - chomping away at a leg that clearly belonged a short time ago to the blogger. The gray-blue suitcase, through beady eyes, seems to see the recording and shuts it off with a frantic, gray palmed hand that reaches from amidst its side.

The news anchor continuse shakily over the footage, his voice bringing you back to the present moment.

"... and as of yet we have no idea what this thing is, but stay safe out there, people, and know that this is the only reported case of... hungry luggage."

Well fuck, you think, at least that wasn't me.

"Breaking News: Puerto Rican Town of Weaver's Hollow Disappears; Noted Superpowered Activist Iryna Also Missing"

In an unprecedented mystery that has left authorities baffled, the small Puerto Rican town of Weaver's Hollow has disappeared without a trace, taking all of its residents along with it. Adding to the perplexity, renowned superpowered activist Iryna, who had been visiting the area for undisclosed reasons, is also missing.

Community pillars like the enigmatic innkeeper Tom Weaver and the reclusive blacksmith Sarah O'Brien have vanished, leaving an eerie emptiness where the once bustling town stood. "This is utterly inexplicable," said Officer Ana Morales, visibly shaken. "It's like the whole place has been wiped from the face of the Earth."

Strangely, the surrounding environment has experienced an unexplained revival. The once-depleting flora and fauna are now thriving, leading scientists to scratch their heads in disbelief.

Local religious leaders like Padre Juan suggest the land is now 'Tierra Sagrada' (Holy Ground) and urge against meddling with the mysteries of the divine. "There are things beyond our understanding," he cautioned.

Both federal agencies and the UN are deeply concerned. "Every possible explanation is on the table," commented a spokesperson from the federal investigative team. "The world needs to understand what happened here, especially considering the disappearance of Iryna, who was an influential figure in social justice."

The baffling disappearance of Weaver's Hollow has grabbed global attention, and as more questions than answers pile up, it's clear that this case is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing and unsettling mysteries of our time.

Ky Matranaga, AKA: The Priest Pummeler, and The Sister Slaughterer outed as demonic!

Channel 7 News San Francisco with a new scoop!

This weekend we saw the notorious child, known for his ruthless beat down of the Nuns of our lady's sacred order, and their attending Priests from The Western Baptist minister group was seen using powers straight out of hell in order to flee the ranks of the newfound Cthulhu cultists. It is currently believed that he was following them in order to pursue his existing vendetta against Christianity as across that same street was a protest organized by Alt-Right Religious Group The Sons of Salem. 

This reporters question though remains, if Ky Matranaga is indeed demonic in origin should he be considered a threat by basis of his origin, or should we give him a final chance to prove that he is capable of turning a new leaf?

More at 11, for now this is Channel 7 News signing off. 

CTHULHU FTHAGN!!!

The signs are clear...

CTHULHU RISES!!!

Lovecraft was right! In a world swept by Ghoul Fever, a perfect breeding ground for cult conspiracy is born - thousand run gibbering about the rise of the GREAT OLD ONES who even now stir from their ancient slumber!

Laws don't matter! Everything you know is a lie! In his House in R'yleh, Cthulhu wakes! He will sweep the earth of Mankind & dance maddingly to cosmic songs man was never meant to know!

(Lovecraft inspired cults break out worldwide. Most recognize each other by using "Fthagn" in place of "Fuc@#%!" as a kind of dogwhistle. This practice catches on in some niche corners of the internet)

Into the catacombs, not sewers, of NYC

My Name is Michaela Carlson, and today's top story: a dungeon rumored to appear in our lovely Central Park, seemingly overnight. Reports say that sometime in the past week, the inconspicuous spot of forest opened up to a stone archway tunnel, the top of it reading out "Lair of the Mad Goblin King."

Rumors first started to circulate about it during that time, about freakish elemental goblins that lurked inside. Chittering creatures of wind and fire that caused more than a couple injuries to the homeless population, it was recently brought to the attention of authorities after Kent Scott, age 19, had to be wheeled out of the location in an ambulance with electrical scars covering half his body, having barely escaped.

Little is known about the Nature of the "dungeon" but we urge the public to bring forward any potential information about it.

Spirit Halloween Launches "Ghoul Fever!" Costume and People Are Wondering if it's Appropriate

Buzzfeed, user Saturn Holland, 3:36 pm

As summer starts to end, you start to smell those first TJ Maxx pumpkin spice candles on the wind, and back to-school ads haunt children, America's favorite Halloween outlet has begun to move in to the recently vacated shells of strip mall retail stores. Spirit adds new costumes every year, but among the additions this season is something undoubtedly disturbing: "Ghoul Fever!", including arm covers made to look like rashes and lesions, vampire-esque plastic fangs, and dirty looking street clothes. The models wear makeup that gives them a generic wasted, sunken appearance. Perhaps most worrying is that this costume comes in sizes for adults, teens, children, and even babies. The costumes can be seen here.

Spirit held off on costumes built off of the Covid-19 virus and pandemic, so this really came as a shock. The reactions are mixed:

"This is really in awful taste. Steven Silverstein should 100% come out and explain himself, or fire whoever launched these costumes immediately. They disgust me and millions of other Americans." -Lacey Drewell

"I think people should chill out. I HAD ghoul fever and I thought it was funny. I'll probably get this and freak my friends out." -Elsie Sommers

"I swear to f*ck that grey shirt in the man costume is the same shade of gray Andrew Tate was wearing in his YouTube video on June 23rd. This is targeted towards conservatives and trying to rile us up!" -Ed Turpin 

"I literally don't see the problem. People are being too sensitive either way, it wasn't that big a deal." -Jason Rice

Steven Silverstein, Spirit Halloween CEO and President, has yet to comment or recall these costumes. Some sources say that his niece was one of the many victims of the pandemic, and perhaps this is his way of coping. 

A New Meth?

A New Meth has begun to spread around Detroit causing more crimes in the city. Coupled with the fact that the crimes are becoming way more violent with people exhibiting advanced strength while on this drug similar to PCP. The city is concerned as Detroit continues to deteriorate. (Please message Psycho for further info)

"This s*** is fire."

In the most prestigious, pretentious, expensive private school of Saudi Arabia, a fifteen-year-old brat finally beings to apply himself in his studies. Sitting alert and silent beside the boy in the classroom aisle is a German Shepherd. The dog wears a perfectly fitting Kevlar vest that has a fashionable pattern of metal circles along the edges (see GM Notes for Ains Ladeen for details). No classmate dare tease this Pathetic yet Beautiful boy who is at the top of the social food chain due to his sheer Charisma. In fact, several are jealous of his school-attending pet ("Why is he more kidnappable than I am?" and "Why does he get to bring his pet to school and not me?"). Several days and pushy parent phone calls later, bringing one's "guard dog" to school becomes the next trendy thing among the supremely upper crust zoomers, soon catching on among the plain old upper crust as well--a worldwide trend rapidly disseminated via Youtube, TicToc, Snapchat, and Instagram influencers. Private school administrators sigh, kids with dog allergies get sent home, and lawsuits abound.

But the boy? He's just trying to get back into his mother's good graces.

Mark Collins Arrested!

Today: Famous hero Mark Collins arrested by the national guard at the Hoover Dam in Nevada. 

In response to an unusual meteor impact, the national guard evacuated and closed the road to the Hoover Dam today. A convoy of three national guardsmen were killed at the road blockade on the Western side of the dam. Mark Collins was arrested driving a personal vehicle inside the closed area. Details of the case are still ongoing, but the national guard has handed Collins over to the Las Vegas Police Department, who posted bail for a mere $50,000 due to Collins' low flight risk. 

District Attourny Anderson says trespassing may only be the first of several charges against the popular hero. "Despite Mark's great heroism during the horrible tragedy that befell Ceasar's Palace, people like him need to learn their limits. We will announce the full list of charges soon."

Patrick O’niel dies in hospital fire

Wanted criminal Patrick Oniel was turned in yesterday by the famed detective Charles. He declined to give details on how he captured the wanted criminal until any trial.

Unfortunately, later that night, Patrick perished in a hospital fire. Fire crews say the blaze started in Patrick's room. The wanted criminal was one of six deaths caused by the fire. 

The Ghouls Speak!

Breaking news: for the first time ever, a ghoul has made a public statement to the news media. 

Several media outlets receieved an encrypted communication from wanted-dead-or-alive criminal Connor Inkz to cover a particular ghoul delivery to Gen-Wyld. The ghoul in question was captured by one "Theo Simões," a Brazilian citizen who was in the USA on a tourist's visa. 

"I figured I'd hunt some ghouls while I was visiting," says Theo in a field interview. "I had a 12 pack of Milwaukee's Best beer in the back of the truck, and when I saw a ghoul in there, I shut it up and called Gen-Wyld." 

But Theo got more than he bargained for. When he delivered the ghoul, this is what happened. 

---

Footage of Theo approaching his box truck as a team of Gen-Wyld handlers stand by. He opens the back to find it completely empty save a few crumpled cans of beer and a hole in the bottom. A moment later a voice off-camera says "Hey guys," and the news media scramble like someone dropped a tiger in the middle of them. The camera shakes and pans to show a ghoul standing near the crowd wearing a Steeler's jersey and torn blue jeans. "Sorry, that Milwaukie Beast has me pissin' like a race horse - had to step outside meep."

The Leader of the Gen-Wyld handlers holds a hand up to halt his people and speaks to the ghoul. "My name is Fredrick. Do you have a name?"

The Ghoul responds, "Course I got a name - what kind of yahoo would I be without one?" The twisted muzzle of the beast could be smiling, it's hard to tell, "We all do, since all ghouls were normal folks once. Or didn't you know that?"

"So, are you going to try to hurt us?"

The Ghoul looks at him for a long moment, as if weighing the options..."Nah. Yinz're just doin' your job. Boss lied about things, when is that not the case? I ain't going to the dissection table though." He turns to the rolling cameras, "Next time you want a cure for diabetes or some shit, ask us first before letting these scrubs try and bottle that shit for you! Not that we'll be hard to find soon, since one in a hundred that got Ghoul Fever are gonna turn to Ghouls! Which there ain't no cure for: I should know."

"Anyway; I'm leaving now - those ghouls listening or any werewolves that don't want to get eviscerated so Gen-Wyld can cure baldness in rich people - keep an ear out for the radio, 'Boneyard 101' and I'll try and help out." The Ghoul turns back to look at the police, then the men with their catch poles, "I'm leaving now, meep - if'n yinz want to stop me, nows your chance - I'm just a 'dumb animal' without rights after all. 'Course, if that's true that also means I ain't gotta follow no laws, doesn't it? Those that try & stop me won't be going home tonight."

The ghoul disappears into the forest, and no one moves to stop him. 

---

Gen-Wyld refused the ghoul delivery and refused to pay, which upset Theo. After yelling at the Gen-Wyld employees as they drove away, he turned around and sold the box truck to Fox News media for an undisclosed amount. He says he is donating 100% of the money to the Connor Inkz defense fund. 

Experts agree that the ghoul's figure that one in a hundred victims of Ghoul Fever will become ghouls themselves is patently untrue. However, the ghoul's statement matches anecdotal rumors that have been circulating on the internet since the cure to ghoul fever was announced. At least 10 cases of Ghoul Fever patients physically transforming into more ghoulish forms after ingesting human flesh have been confirmed, however some claim the numbers are far greater. 

Maelstrom Setting Update

The world has been presented with the dire threat: Ghoul Fever. People are retreating to their homes, social distancing is legally mandated, and those who refuse do not have the luxury of the survival rate COVID provided. Streets are less populated, and gatherings of more than 10 people in any given location are banned even within America with violators facing fines of up to 10,000 dollars for locations without provisions for preventing physical contact.

In addition, graveyards, morgues, and more are being met with increased security as corpse thefts reach an all time high by those who do not wish to, or are unable, to pay the costs for ghoul fevers treatment in countries where medical care is not a human right, with some cemeteries and mortuaries' taking up arms and hiring security to defend their stock.

This Setting Update currently has a duration of 10 in-Playgroup Contracts.

As a note, GMs are not required to engage with these setting changes, but we highly encourage it for a more consistent and cohesive world.

The Bay Burns! Chaos in San Francisco.

Breaking News from San Francisco! 

Good evening, I'm NBC News Reporter Trisha Wright and you're watching our live coverage of the Bay disaster. Today, an extraordinary event unfolded in San Francisco Bay as a monstrous Kraken tentacle emerged from the depths, wreaking havoc and terrorizing the region. However, amidst the chaos, one man emerged as a true hero. His name is Frank Lambert, and he played a pivotal role in assisting the military in the defeat of the Kraken tentacle.

Our reporters on the scene have gathered the details of this incredible incident. It all began when the Kraken tentacle, measuring over 200 feet long, burst out of the water, striking a carnival cruise liner with tremendous force. The ship, carrying thousands of passengers, was left in ruins as the tentacle mercilessly tore through its structure.

The U.S. Coast Guard immediately sprang into action as fortunately the USCGC Sherman was doing routine patrols and was in a position to respond. The Sherman valiantly positioned itself between the Kraken and the vulnerable San Francisco Bay, standing as the first line of defense. The crew of the Sherman demonstrated remarkable bravery and resilience, engaging in a fierce battle to hold the Kraken at bay despite their lack of firepower that could meaningfully harm such a large creature. 

As the Coast Guard battled on the water, the United States Air Force swiftly took action. A flight of F-22 Raptors, armed with advanced missiles, was dispatched to neutralize the Kraken. These highly skilled pilots maneuvered their aircraft with precision, targeting the massive tentacle threatening the bay's safety.

After a nail-biting aerial showdown, the F-22 Raptors unleashed a barrage of missiles, striking the Kraken tentacle with incredible force. The impact sent shockwaves through the air, causing the monstrous appendage to retreat into the depths from whence it came.

Despite the military's success in defeating the Kraken, the aftermath of this extraordinary event continues to pose challenges. Lingering fires have broken out on the water's surface, creating hazardous conditions in the bay. Firefighting teams are currently battling the flames, working tirelessly to bring the situation under control.

Amid this chaos, let us not forget the heroic efforts of Frank Lambert. Mr. Lambert, a perhaps more than ordinary citizen who happened to be in the area, demonstrated exceptional courage and selflessness. He provided vital support and assistance to the military during this unprecedented battle, playing a critical role in the victory against the Kraken as he acted as bait and used his supernatural hydrokinetic abilities to defend us from this horrifying monstrosity. 

The city of San Francisco and the entire nation owe a debt of gratitude to Frank Lambert, the Coast Guard crew of the USCGC Sherman, and the brave pilots of the U.S. Air Force. Their unwavering determination and valor ensured that our beloved San Francisco Bay remains safe from this monstrous threat.

As we continue to monitor the situation in the bay, we urge residents and visitors to exercise caution and heed all safety warnings. We will keep you updated with the latest developments on this extraordinary event.

This has been an NBC News report. I'm Trisha Wright and thank you for watching.

Hurricane Sadie Racks Florida: Tragedy at FantasticLand Theme Park

Last month, a hurricane more powerful than any in history fully broadsided the eastern coast of Florida. The effects of the hurricane, dubbed Hurricane Sadie, were felt along the totality of the Florida shoreline. The wind and subsequent flooding destroyed power grids, battered inland businesses, and left hundred of thousands homeless. Local authorities were instantly outmatched. The National Guard was dispatched but we’re in over their heads. The Red Cross could only help so much. Two weeks later, thousands of people had died, not of drowning or the direct effects of the storm, but of neglect, exposure, and a lack of fresh water. Some smaller communities were not contacted until almost a month after the storm, in most cases far too late to do any good. Before the FantasticLand story broke, the phrase "America's Shame" had been attached to the response effort and was gaining traction.

It was only when the situation came under a reasonable amount of control, and billions in federal government aid had been disbursed, that the story of FantasticLand hit with a crash that shattered all other news stories about the disaster. It sounded like an urban legend at first--far too "out there" to be real. Only after the ruins of the once mighty amusement park appear in online video footage did it become clear that the worst stories were true. Shockingly true, unbelievably true, but undeniable.

Of the 326 employees who stayed behind in the park, 207 were eventually evacuated. The fate of the 119 missing souls may never be known, but evidence of death and slaughter was immediately apparent. Photos soon emerged: heads on spikes outside of rides, corpses floating in detention cells, and viscera decaying in the humid Florida sun. FantasticLand, where "Fun Is Guaranteed!", was covered in blood. There were human bones littering the gift shops. It was all the country could talk about. The coverage crossed all media, breaking records for hits, views, likes, clicks, and shares.

The most indelible images, the one most of the public saw first, is among the most haunting photos of the past fifty years. Captured by photojournalist Ophir Bouhouche, the photo shows the seventy-five-foot-tall FantasticLand logo, a bright red Exclamation Point at the center of the 2,200-acre amusement park, shattered into thousands of jagged pieces on the ground. In its place, a crude yardarm stretches between support towers that once held the Exclamation Point in place. Hanging from the plank are five bodies, strung by their necks. Two nooses are empty, the bodies visible on the ground. One has simply fallen. The other has been decapitated. Behind the bodies, a sign boasts in bright red letters, FUN IS GUARANTEED!

Reinforcements were called immediately. By the time employees broke their silence and began telling their stories, the media were scrambling and desperate to get on the scene. Unfortunately for FantasticFun Inc., the legal owner of the park, an uploaded video showed National Guard troops entering the park the very day a press conference downplaying the carnage was held. The footage aired side by side on most networks. Details began to emerge, bringing with them a flood of unanswerable, terrible questions.

How could a group of survivors, mostly children, commit such terrible acts? How could survivors with the best possible circumstances in which to weather the storm and its aftermath produce the worst possible result? What does this say about our children? Ourselves? Is every American teenager just a few short steps away from bloodthirsty savagery? How do we prevent this in the future? Was an American institution that had provided joy to children since the 1970s fatally harmed by this incident, or is redemption possible?

Meet Neil Ashworth: Gen-Wyld's new spokesperson

Fans of high-schooler wunderchild Niel Ashworth will be excited to hear that he's signed a new sponsorship deal with high-profile pharmacuticals company Gen-Wyld. That's right, Niel Ashworth is the firm's newest spokesperson. Some say it's a match made in heaven, has the company faces increased scrutiny over its new diabetes cure that apparently utilizes ghouls to produce in some way. 

Niel Ashworth made this statement:

“In this day and age, the biggest concerns people have come from within. With Ghoul Fever cured, the big problems we in first world countries suffer from are diseases like cancer and diabetes, and issues with self-confidence and depression. Gen-Wyld holds the answer. With their innovative treatments, Cancer can be a thing of the past, diabetes can be fixed with a simple injection, and you can look however you want, take who you are on the inside, and bring them to the outside.

"With the research performed at Gen-Wyld, people of my generation will be able to live longer, healthier, and happier lives than any generation before, and things will only get better. The future is coming, and it’s name, is Gen-Wyld.”

Wooh powerful stuff! This kid's going to get me to smear my mascara. Well, on that hopeful note of American Exceptionalism, this news reporter is signing off. 

Gen-Wyld reveals secret to diabetes cure: Ghouls!

The company Gen-Wyld revealed that the secret ingredient to their new diabetes cure is ghouls.

"There is no evidence that this 'ghoul fever' pandmic originated from ghouls, although they can be carriers. But after processing, we can guarantee that the treatment for diabetes we produce is 100% ghoul-fever-free."

The company has posted a public bounty wherein they will buy any live ghoul for $200,000. 

"One ghoul can cure a thousand patients of type-1 diabetes. These ghouls are not intelligent. They are animals. Animals that are very valuable to those suffering from this disease." 

If the ghould-rush wasn't in full effect before, it is sure to be so now, as anti-ghoul sentiment, driven by misplaced anger over the ghoul fever epidemic, reaches an all time high.

Calls to systematically eradicate ghouls from the united states have not yet been actioned on by any government officials, but many conservative politicians are adopting and pressing the issue as a publicity stunt. 

Ghoul Fever: is the cure worse than the disease?

Since Jacksonville high schooler Neil Ashworth discovered the cure to ghoul fever, he has been praised by the entire world and even granted the presidential medal of honor by United States president Joe Biden. As confirmed Ghoul Fever cases rise past the global 15 million mark, scientists believe the spread is starting to slow significantly.

But the facts of the cure are grim: a patient must consume a pound of human flesh at least 30 days deceased in order to be cured, and the psychological symptoms of the disease are not reverted by the cure.

Pew Research polls have found that as many as 80% of uninfected united states citizens and up to 98% of infected people claim they would be willing to eat human meat to cure themselves of Ghoul Fever.

But where is all this human meat coming from? Most world governments have placed a temporary hold on the laws restricting the sale and consumption of human meat, and the price of human meat has risen as high as $1200 per pound.

Several stories have gone viral of people visiting dodgy surgeons in developing countries to remove an arm or even a leg to sell. Meanwhile plastic surgeons in the united states have started paying the morbidly obese to come in for liposuction, provided the surgeon gets to sell the material they remove.

Disappearances are showing a concerning rise as well, and may expect people are being kidnapped and murdered, harvested for their meat.

Thefts of mortuaries and morgues are extremely common. Some have hired increased security, and some are accused of selling remains instead of following the families’ wishes.

The governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, has used emergency executive powers to order the exhumation graves across the state.

“We are ground zero for the Ghoul Fever epidemic. Freshly harvested human meat from organ donors takes a month to prepare, and we don’t have that kind of time. We have a hundred thousand patients that will suffer life-ending psychological trauma if we don’t get them human meat now.”

The governor’s plan is to grind old bones into bonemeal to be baked into bread that will be used to treat the region’s many patients.

"By the end of the week, we will have enough bonemeal to treat our entire population and share with our neighbors. I urge other states and countries to follow our example and put an end to this horrible pandemic. Our lost loved ones would be honored to save our lives from beyond the grave." 

Endangered Cryptid Sighted!

This Just In!

A confirmed sighting of the rare Pacific Nothwest Arboreal Octopus was reported by hikers earlier today - one Robert Ladd captured the endangered cephlapod while hiking in the Olympic Rainforest. He adds:

"I've been spending all my time hiking since the Ghoul Fever lockdown. Just wanted to stay away from the cities, you know? Something was up a tree throwing pinecones down. I thought: "Is that a chipmunk?" But then I saw the little guy, just hanging out up there."

Officials in Washington State could not be reached for comment.

Zombie Attack in France!

Now that Ghoul Fever is no longer dominating the headlines, there is room for new bad news...

"The Beginning of the Zombie Apocalypse?" News channels ask their viewers with somber glee.

"In a town on the north coast of France a new threat has emerged..." The reporters drone on in speculation as the view cuts to short clips shot from smartphones. The monster in question is a buff male humanoid with short hair wearing a stylish outfit and metal armlets with glowing red gems--hair matted, outfit and red skin stained dark with dried blood. It bleeds from numerous bullet wounds in the shoulders, chest, and leg, yet it moves swiftly and effortlessly. It bares bloodied and chipped teeth, and a brief glimpse of its eye reveal a soulless, insatiable hunger:

• With the backdrop of a pastoral golf course and blue skys, this thing runs at breakneck speed towards the cameraperson and his golfing buddy. Trailing behind it are two cops, firearms drawn but not pointed at the two unlucky vacationers as they yell for them to flee the area. The zombie downs the one with a camera to the sounds of a bone-breaking crunch with a horrific male scream. 
• Another video of the same area, this time from a police car camera showing monster in the distance striking down the two police officers with spears of crackling lighting that seems to manifest in its hands.
• And then videos from second stories of buildings where the citizens had enough warning to retreat, of the thing running through alleys and hopping onto and over cars, being chased by two cop cars.

The news story adds that the municipal police successfully neutralized it before anyone else got hurt with the help of an unknown ally:

• Videos showing an expensive European car with dented sides and a broken windshield that is absolutely covered in blood racing down the empty narrow town streets with the sounds of gunfire in the distance.
• A video from a camera on a restaurant patio showing an armed figure in full black tactical gear, face obscured by a dark helmet, rushing past two confused police officers and out of sight into the building (with the sounds of gunfire much closer).

Reporters have no confirmation from authorities if the creature was a disease vector. The police declined to state, instead insisting that they had everything under control. "As of now, there are no other known cases of this spreading," reporters drone on, "with the two hospitalized civillians under close supervision. Is this the end or the beginning?"

As Ghoul Fever Hits 5M Victims, a Cure Emerges

5 MILLION VICTIMS

The World Health Organization has announced that there are now over 5 million confirmed cases of Ghoul Fever globally. And while China and North Kora claim to have contained the spread through aggressive quarantines, most of the world is not as lucky. The WHO explains that the actual count may be much higher than 5 million.

It’s a pandemic that spreads like wildfire and ruins lives almost as quickly. While it does not kill directly, those affected face a horrifying downward spiral. It starts with a fever, itching, drooling, and horrifying hallucinations including worms under the skin. Within a month, victims are reduced to gibbering, meeping wrecks, incapable of speech or self-care.

“I don’t think there’s anything left of my daughter in that. . . thing she’s become,” says one mourning father. Often times victims’ families are left to care for those who have succumbed to the disease and who remain contagious indefinitely.

Noteworthy victims include Michael Phelps, and Jennifer Hudson. Internet personality Andrew Tate is also believed to be infected, as his podcast has become more and more unhinged, and he raves for his fans to consume worms, feces, and other disgusting substances. He was re-arrested after taking a bite of a woman who was staying with him. Mr. Tate is now held in solitary confinement in Romania.

A NEW HOPE

Neil Ashworth, a high school senior from Jacksonville Florida seems to have found a cure for Ghoul Fever. His discovery was propelled to global notoriety after famous movie star Tom Cruise who trusted the kid’s home-grown evidence.

“I was looking down the barrel of a gun, and I thought, ‘hey, couldn’t hurt to try, right?’” said Mr. Cruise in a statement.

Wunderchild Neil Ashworth gave this statement to a group of reporters at a press conference:

“I discovered the treatment for Ghoul Fever through observation. I saw one of the victims of the disease eat from an open grave - the Ghoul Rush means there’s a lot of those about - and noticed that they stopped degrading over the following days. Further observation lead me to conclude that the consumption of aged raw human flesh is both a compulsion for the Fevers victims, and capable of stabilising those afflicted, and I chose to approach Tom Cruise because he is a great actor, and I believed in his commitment to using his status to help people”

Initial studies have confirmed that those cured in this way are freed from the physical symptoms of the disease, are no longer contagious, and case to suffer continued mental degradation. Unfortunately, any mental trauma they had already experienced remains.

However, now that we know that consuming aged human flesh cures ghoul fever, we must ask ourselves: what’s next? How will world governments get that much human meat to that many people? Already, hints of a disturbing black market are starting to show. . .

The taboo against cannibalism seems poised to evaporate overnight, as human meat becomes medicine.

London News Tonight - Fire downtown finally extinguished

London fire services has finally announced that the downtown fire, consuming several adjacent buildings, is considered extinguished.  The fire is at this time considered to be arson, and police are reporting that the fire caused several casualties.   The area is currently being handed over to police, with the area under lockdown.

In the corner is a TV news picture of the smouldering ruins of several buildings.  They're still smoking, despite the rain, and appear to have been almost entirely consumed by the blaze.

Preliminary reports suggest the killings are due to gang violence, although some reports indicate it may be tied to organized crime.

Governor Wesley comes forward on Ghoul Fever!

Channel 9 live!

Cameras flash, the lighting in the room is bright but everyone present looks haggard and worried. Every reporter present, and the Governor himself looks tired. This has been an incredibly trying month for Tennessee. Questions fly back and forth, but The Governor's aides deflect and give the typical political answers until Jeremy Wesley, the rightly elected governor of the state despite his recent controversies, waves them off and comes forward to make his statement with all the gravitas that such a man of state should wield:

“My Dear Constituents,
It has come to my attention that another Pandemic is sweeping through the world and is probably already affecting those here in a way today. It has come to my attention by a third party that the spread of this disease is caused directly by those hunting ghouls and digging up graves. This “Ghoul Fever” coined by the media has had drastic effects on the world in the form of a crippling pandemic that’s sweeping through the population. I am enacting a state of emergency similar to Covid-19 there will be further directions by the Tennessee Health department in a few days and hopefully the CDC will provide guidelines soon. I will alert my constituents to any new information as soon as I can please stay healthy and stay safe. Good day.”

The Governor then turns and takes his leave, refusing to answer any further questions. Who is this mysterious source the Governor claims provided this information, why has the CDC not come forward to validate his statement if it is true, and what does this mean for Tennessee, nay, America? 

With these questions and more all we are left with, this is Channel 9 Live signing off. 

Whispers

There are whispers in the officer lounges and leadership offices of America’s local law enforcement and federal law enforcement communities. The data coming in for the past month (one month after the untimely death of Kevin Sparkles) shows an upward trend in all types of homicides--including murder, voluntary manslaughter, and involuntary manslaughter. This trend is nationwide, almost equal in every state. 

Despite the rise in cases requiring investigation, the arresting of suspects has not similarly spiked. This is in part due to insufficient staffing/funding--particularly of local law enforcement--and in part due to a peculiar lack of viable suspects. Investigations have dead-ended quite quickly, even faster than usual.

• The nondescript car that ran over a pedestrian? It was found at the bottom of the cliffside, burnt out, the next day.
• The lady with a large dog that killed a passerbyer along a hiking trail? The one person that witnessed the attack couldn’t seem to remember her appearance.
• The old guy stabbed in the alley at midnight? Both cameras in the alley were broken, and renters in the buildings above heard nothing.

Likewise, there are whispers among coroners, medical examiners, and the funeral home industry. Business has boomed in the past month, not only due to the rise in homicides but also due to a variety of other causes. These deaths have primarily been attributed to suicide or unlucky mishaps--drug overdoses, falling from tall heights, and the like. 

Hardly enough to make the news in the midst of a recent, panic-inducing, ghoul-ish pandemic. 

Nevertheless, whispers.

(Contact Dae_Kianna if you think your Contractor might catch wind of these trends and want to investigate.)

A new global pandemic?

They call it “Ghoul Fever,” and this year may prove to be another 2020 unless something is done. 

People are panicking as what appears to be a new illness is sweeping major urban areas around the globe. Those affected experience severe psychological symptoms and horrible hallucinations. 

It all started in Philadelphia where health workers first raised the alarm of a sudden dramatic uptick in individuals suffering severe hallucinations along with mild cold symptoms such as a fever, shivers, itching, and drooling.

Since then, an outbreak has spread to every major urban area, affecting as much as 24% of the population in the most exposed areas. 

It is estimated that between ten thousand and one hundred thousand people are infected. A handful of public figures have been infected, including media personality Andrew Tate. 

Experts believe the disease spreads through close contact, and so affected individuals are urged to isolate, which often worsens their mental symptoms. 

There is currently no known cure or treatment for this disease.  In the meantime, the mental health of those affected continues to worsen until they are incapacitated and frenzied. 

US officials urge anyone with information about this disease to please contact the CDC using the number on your screen. 

In Other News

Are they an expert or a scam artist? The mysterious figure Lao Chi has continued to dominate the second page news in Philidelphia due to their surprising photographs of ghouls, questionable merchandise, and strong takes on the current "ghouldrush" phenomenon.

Several online debunkers are blasting his wares as obvious fakes, but question his access to ghouls to take the photographs he peddles. Despite the online takes, a small group of fans or "true believers" vehemently swear by the old man's advice. 

Opinion: Tougher drunk driving laws needed?

Dear Editor,

Today, Ted Windsor was released from prison.  Mr. Windsor has committed four DUIs, and on his last one, he killed a young boy!  And he only got four years in prison, and was relased 6 months early for good behaviour!  How can we in this country continue to turn such a blind eye to drunk driving?   This man is a scorge to our streets.  And the worst part is, I am sure that he is going to go right back to it!  When will we do something about this? When will we say that enough is enough, and actually treat drunk driving as the attempted murder that it is?  I demand, and I call upon all mothers and fathers of our fair country to say enough is enough!   To change our laws so that a man like Mr. Windsor stays behind bars after the first time!

Jane Doe.

Protests in Nashville

Reporting Live from the Tennesee State House

"...as you can see behind me, protests & counter protests rage as the Legislative branch prepares for Memorial Day - let's see what we can get from the crowd."

Team Feratu Supporter: "Batamir's music got me through a rough patch in life. I can honestly say I wouldn't be here today if not for Heart of Darkness. The Governor may not like it, but Team Batamir is here to stay, & we vote!"

Christian Nationalist: "The Governor is doing the Lord's work, & these liberals & @$#*^ are trying to stop him - they tried to kill his wife you know...just say the word Mr. Wesley - the Sons of Stoughton are on your side!"

ACLU Lawyer: "The State of Tennesee is founded on principles of personal freedom: freedom from Big Covernment is principle among those liberties. We look forward to challenging Governor Wesley's illegal land grab in the Courts."

Rabble Rouser: "Der Furher may think he can send his Ubermensch Gestapo to steal our land, but he's got another thing coming - go back to Chicago, you mother-@$^%#&!!!"

..."There you have it folks. Governor Wesley ran on a platform of safety for working class Tennesseans & economic investment. It looks like he may have some explaining to do after the holiday, possibly under Oath. This is NBC News, & we hope you have a great & safe Memorial Day weekend!"

“The Mysterious Miss Wumbra breaks into jail, steals a supernatural suspect, and destroys incriminating evidence.”

"My name is Jane Alison, here at the Goshen Indiana police station, where earlier today, one suspect potentially related to the monster attacks just yesterday escaped with the help of a dark-haired woman going by the alias of Miss Wumbra. She claimed to be the guardian of the person in custody, provided official seeming documentation to the police, and managed to completely wipe their servers on the way out, no doubt aided supernaturally in some way. The other suspect was released from custody, as there was no longer the incriminating evidence linking her to the crimes."

"Anti-supernatural activists are up in arms about such blatant law breaking, while pro-supernatural activists are doubting rather or not there was actually any evidence, or if this break in was just a likely excuse for them to dump the files. Either way, it doesn't look good for our boys in blue."

Goshen Indiana: Anti-werecreature vilgilance to die down? Police urge caution.

"Hello, and welcome to The Goshen News.  I'm your host, Mel Johnson.  It's been a month since the brutal daylight murder committed by this creature -"

An inlay appears, showing a rather clear still of a werewolf on a sunny day.  It appears to be chasing something.

"And residents are still shocked.  Local police are still maintaining patrols, often equipped with silver daggers, and incense burners of wolfsbane are a common sight.  But how long do we expect this go to on?  I have an expert on Werewolf attacks here to tell us more."

The screen splits.  On the other side is an older looking man in a tweed coat.

"Hello, Mel.  My name is James Angel, and I specialize in these sort of events.  Werewolves - and were-creatures in general - are a pretty rare sighting, and this form of hightened vigilance is exhausting.  Honestly, we can probably only expect there was the one in town.  They can always come from other towns, yes.  But I don't think we can stay like this forever.  Over the next couple of months, I'd expect most things to go back to normal.  But that's the most dangerous time.  What we need is for each and every person in Goshen to just help watch out for each other.  Make sure to report to the police if your neighbour has strange activity around midnight, especially on full moons.  If you see something, say something."

"Thank you, James.  You heard him, people.  If you see something, say something.  And now, for the weather..."

A tumultuous week in Nashville. A marriage, a vexing disappearance, and a tearful reunion?

Channel 7 News with the latest on the Governor's marriage, and the subsequent faked suicide and apparent reunion of these star-crossed lovers.

Those of you in the know will know that our great governor, Jeremy Wesley, was struck by tragedy this month. His wife of less than a month threw herself from a bridge on live broadcast, and the subsequent discovery of her decapitated head in the river had us all fearing the worst had come to pass.

Though in a shocking twist of fate, Channel 7 has gotten an exclusive interview with our governor after his wife seems to have rematerialized from thin air! 

When pressed on this issue the Governor gave a statement amounting to that the head was fake you can tell in the video that she jumped and someone tried to kidnap her and fake her death. Jeremy is very concerned that this happened so close to him and is more concerned with the fact that someone was able to produce such an object as a fake head that contained his wife’s DNA. He will say this was an attempt by those who wish to stop the second rights bill. However, with his wife escaping their clutches, he has renewed vigor in pursuing this dream of Tennessee’s future.

While this reporter is not too sure, The Governor at least seems convinced of this truth and authorities have yet to issue a statement meaning at the very least the police seem to not have a clear suspect in mind. 

For now though, in these uncertain times, we can only look towards him for leadership which is sorely needed in these trying times.

So, until next time this is Channel 7 Signing off. 

Car Found Crushed Flat in South Philadelphia

Pennsylvania State News: 

Daniel Stratham, 10:09 am

A blue Nissan Altima was discovered early this morning from an anonymous tip near the corner of Daly and South 2nd Street, crushed down to two feet. The victim in the driver's seat has been identified as Nicole Wagner, 23. Nicole's mother gave no commentary, but the people of Philadelphia would be correct to mourn and stay on high alert for a threat as strange as this one.

A picture below the article shows the blue Nissan Altima flattened like a tin can. Yellow police tape and traffic cones has the area blocked off; the car was crushed in the middle of the lane, outside of a parking zone. A large red splotch has been pixelated at the driver's section. Looking closer, you might spot broken glass towards the back with PEACE and COEXIST stickers still intact.

Ghould Rush Begins: Cryptoleak Post Shows REAL GHOULS!

Yikes, and we almost wish it hadn't!

Buzzfeed, user CryptoFreak, 4:01 am

Just two hours ago, a post was discovered under the #ghoul tag on popular supernatural video sharing site Cryptoleak of what our experts say are two creatures that fit the bill for genuine ghouls! And what a mess- these things are nasty! If it weren't for the hooves, you might think it was a hyena or something with a bad skin condition. This is the first time we've seen videos of them, and honestly, we're confused. Who out there is posting their location instead of taking these guys to Andrew Tate- or better yet, Rihanna? It seems like these are creatures shrouded in as much mystery as stink. You can watch the 10 second clip below:

The video is dim, but filmed with a steady hand. Two creatures are backed into the corner of a box truck, hissing and curled in on themselves in apelike positions: knuckles and bent knees to the floor, stomping hooves, scraping large, thick claws. They are seemingly hairless and have batlike facial structures, with large eyes that reflect red and orange respectively. The sound they make is a nervous sort of gibber. No additional figures are seen or heard in the video. It is titled "Ghouls", comes from the username Lalrawtan, and is captioned with just "Philadelphia, Pennsylvania". 

Gives me the creeps! But to each their own, especially with that kind of celebrity incentive- happy hunting, folx, and stay safe out there!

Is it Ghoul Season???

An anime-girl vtuber avatar addresses her following on a popular online streaming service.

“Hey blubbers! It’s me Blue-Blade, your one-stop shop for all things paranormal, conspiratorial, and under-the-radar waves that no one else is talking about.

“The headline topic for today: GHOULS. We’ve all heard of them, but what are they? Turns out they’re a little-known humanoid species that lives under graveyards devouring human bodies. Beyond that, little is known. It’s said that they eat living humans too, and that some humans might even turn into ghouls sometimes? Wild.

“For some reason, everyone seems to be going crazy for ghouls all of a sudden! Several popular media personalities from Joe Rogan to Rhianna have started asking their followers about whether or not anyone’s ever seen one. Andrew Tate has offered $250,000 to anyone who can give him a living ghoul.

“Is it just a passing fad? These big pink eyes see more. It’s not just the media personalities crying ‘ghoul’, it’s the big businesses and secret societies too. People with deep pockets and fancy toys. News articles and police reports from across the USA mentioning graveyards have spiked in the past two weeks. People are combing graveyards, breaking into crypts, and there’s even a report of a group sneaking a subterranean sonar mapping device into New York cemeteries.

“And with so many wealthy businesses and personalities offering rewards, Ghoul Fever is about to go mainstream. I mean, when collecting a fat bounty could be as easy as getting your friends together and visiting a local graveyard, who could blame them?

“Whatever the reason, it seems ghoul fever has taken those who are more ‘in the know’ than the average joe. Who’s pulling the purse strings? What is it about the humble ghoul that’s got everyone grabbing their pickaxes and nets? People like us may never be privy to the full answers. Be careful out there, blubbers!”

Gen-Wyld Cures Diabetes!

Mysterious biotech startup Gen-Wyld has announced that it has developed a cure to diabetes. Third-party double-blind clinical trials have shown a 95% success rate at eliminating Type 1 diabetes. Treatment takes one week.

Gen-Wyld initially made a splash with its exotic genetic body modifications. But the breakthrough that truly catapulted it to world-class status was BusPlus, a gene therapy treatment to enhance a patient's primary and secondary sex characteristics. 

But the company cautions the public to temper their excitement. “Unfortunately, this cure is extremely difficult to produce. We need investment, and a location to build a new facility that will bring plenty of high-value jobs to whatever city we select. We are reaching out to our contacts and investors, but these things take time. We will bring the cure to market as quick as we can.”

Gen-Wyld keeps the details of how the cure works as trade secrets. 

Gang Warfare in Berlin?

Terror in Berlin - Gang warfare? 

In a local industrial area, residents were terrified by automatic weapons fire.  Police responded immedately, but the individuals had already fled the area.  Reports state that the police have no immedate leads, but believe the public are safe.

In unrelated news, a minor civil disturbance with the 'Cult of the Almighty Light' occured in downtown Berlin.  Local news is reporting that several cult members are sick after group ingesting thorium - medical services were already on standby.  Online social media shows cellphone video of people being carried out of the meeting, one of which appeared to be a child.

A member of the cult calling himself the 'First Ray' claimed that this was required for elevation of themselves - and then demonstrated seeming supernatural powers. 

Donation to the cause!

Estimated donations?

Patagonia who already has 1% of their total profits going to global economic causes while seeking out to be fully carbon neutral by 2025 has reportedly put out another 50 million in profits to assist Taiwan. Following their footsteps right away, Nike does the same with their donation of 50 million directly to the cause. Not only that, but with this mysterious camera man/voice, people online are starting to donate to the cause! 

oh? more news are coming in! Patagonia and Nike reports to have signed a deal with Iryna for sponsorship! They will continue to give their profits into the emergency and rescue efforts of Taiwan. They are donating supplies like clothing and shoes to the civilians in need of it. Also tents are being donated for housing along with emergency ration. Truly a sight to behold

Estimated, donations will come through to be approaching nearly 120 million through the good heart and welfare of both large companies and people from all over the world.

She is recorded to be cleansing the area of radiation? Not only that, shes going around assisting the emergency workers and civilians! truly a hero! Now with an agent to boot. 

"Whats that jimmy? How bad is the destruction in Taiwan? A category 4 typhoon is recorded to have wind of up to 156 MPH (251KMPH) jimmy! The rain is like bullets and the wind can tear down walls of houses at that point!"

More on that late though!

Comments from media

"Yooo, is that another hero in the making? Its another Mark collins!"

"OH shush, Mark is only a crime fighting hero, he has nothing on Iryna, she protects nature!"

"What are you talking about? Mark protects humanity and the innocent"

"Have you seen him go out to solve some natural disaster?"

"What about the kraken?"

"Killing a giant beast to free some people? What about other parts of the world where earthquakes, tornados, and floods are happening? you don't see him going after to help people."

"What are you talking about? Mark cant be in all those places at once!"

Chaos ensues in the comment section as people start arguing between Mark and Iryna.

On the other side!

"Man, I don't like Iryna, she was so focused on the people that could survive she didn't save the one that needed saving... I don't know, I don't like how she decides that she has power over our life. Why couldn't she save those men?"

"???"

"LOL bro you need to touch grass"

"TF YOU MEAN"

"idk bout yall but he makes a damn good point."

"Stop hatin, at least she is putting out effort, hbu all?"

New item for auction on Offr.com: Swarmour

(The following video is sent to all Offr Red members, along with a reminder that all contents are considered private, and sharing / revealing any of the details of the video will result in a revocation of your membership.)

The video opens on a short woman with cherry-red skin and yellow eyes standing on a lawn. Some members would recognize her as Mandy the sales associate.

“Hey there, Offr Red members! We have an exciting new item available for auction, starting today. May I introduce you all to “Swarmore.”

She sets a large mason jar filled with dirt onto the ground. She then opens the lid and commands, “Swarmore: formation alpha.” A wave of ants swarms from the jar over her body, covering her in a lattice of ants, all connected by their mandibles.

“Swarmore here is a very special colony of ants. In this formation, they can protect me from incoming attacks.” She draws a knife and stabs it at her hand. The ants swarm to catch the blade, and begin surging up the knife. “See these guard ants heading up the knife? They’re here to give anyone who attacks you serious regrets.

“Swarmore comes with three formations. Alpha here is guard mode. Swarmore: Formation B. Right here.” The ants crawl off of her body and begin furiously digging a hole where she’s pointing. In a few seconds, a sizable hole sits where there was once grass. “These ants will dig a hole quicker than anyone can do with a shovel. And wait until you see ‘formation C’. Swarmore, check out that shed, would you?”

Mandy pulls out a smartphone as the swarm makes its way to the shed. She points the screen to the camera, revealing a live feed that appears to be from the ants perspective. “Spy cameras don’t have anything on this. We are talking live video and audio feed via bluetooth, with advanced recon capabilities. Night vision, too!”

“Now, being a swarm of ants, Swarmore is expected to only survive for about a year and a half. But until then, they’ll be the most useful tool in any operative’s toolbelt.

“Bidding starts at $50,000 and lasts two weeks. We will accept items and/or money bids on this auction, so act fast!”

(Please message Shady Tradesman if you would like to see the current bid and/or make a bid)

Offr.com officially named #1 non-commercial e-commerce website!

Most people know Offr.com as the home of the gig economy: a website where you can find a buyer for your old couch, and a worker to haul it away. It’s the home of everything from marketplace goods and bespoke commissions to task fulfillment and transportation services.

Offr has now officially eclipsed both eBay and Facebook Marketplace as the most active person-to-person e-commerce website on earth. They attribute their success to an excellent interface and a few choice deals to secure key intellectual property rights early on in the company’s growth.

Controversies and protests centered around the company’s treatment of gig workers have done little to stall their meteoric growth. In certain online circles, people joke and whisper about less-than-legal deals being available on a “dark web” version of Offr.com, but the company denies this.

One thing is for certain, Offr.com is here to stay!

Senseless Killing in a Chicago Suburb

(This report does not make the headline news - it is an all to common event)

One Kevin Sparkles, also known as Kevin Adams, was apparently murdered in front of his own home in the early hours of the morning. Three suspects were caught in the neighborhood, & while we do not have the identities of these individuals, sources say they were armed with weapons that have been linked to the crime.

Kevin Sparkles wife & daughter are currently unaccounted for - if you have any information, please contact the Chicago Police Department. Local police & state troopers have footage of a black mercedes leaving the scene, with the custom plate "BOBRULZ" - it is unknown if this vehicle was involved in the murder.

El Paso Museum of Art Robbed! Templo Mayo Sun Stone missing!

El Paso News at 6!

Three suspects were apprehended on scene, though the artifact was not recovered. Police say the security system was disabled, and patched through to one of the suspects phone. The crew, known in some neighborhoods in southern El Paso as BMC, is being treated in a psychiatric hospital. 

Police have yet to make additional statements, though the arrested criminals seem to be cooperating fully with the FBI investigation. Theft of the property of another country is always investigated by the FBI, especially so close to the border.

“Goose on the loose!”

Knoxville News Sentinel

Over the past three days, there has been an unexplainable series of hospitalizations due to goose attacks in Seymour, Tennessee, outside of Knoxville.

The first victims were two teenage boys on Tuesday afternoon. A good samaritan noted they were intentionally harassing the migrating flock that had recently landed in a local park when one of the birds charged, attacking with beak and claws. Then on Wednesday morning a middle-aged woman’s Great Dane got off of the leash and rushed for the birds; both sustained severe injuries. Just yesterday, a father received an inexplicably deep gash across the back from an attacking goose as he scooped up and fled with his young daughter who had wandered too close to the wild birds.

“Two things that don’t match up. First, the injuries are like nothing we’ve ever seen before. Second, what’s odd is that this is migration season, not nesting season when the birds are the most aggressive towards people,'' said Stacy Adams, Outreach & Education Coordinator at the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

This series of incidents happened just weeks after an ominously-titled report "Human-Goose Conflict" was published by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, which notes that the geese population in Tennessee has more than quadrupled since 1980. The 28-page report delves into all things goose, including preventative and self-defense tactics (hint: face it even while moving away and maintain eye contact).

“Be respectful of wildlife and give them plenty of space. This as much their land as it is ours,” Adams concluded. Whether the agency, or any other agency, will conduct investigations into these occurrences is unknown.

Anonymous Donor gives non-profit patent for revolutionary device

A two page, article-style advertisement makes the rounds in medical journals, magazines, and probably making quite the buzz in the field of psychology. 

NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is proud to announce that we have been donated the patent to a revolutionary new medical device. The device, named "NeuroScan Pro," is a portable MRI machine capable of scanning the brain in real-time, while also possessing the features of an ECT (Electro-Convulsive Therapy) machine.

The NeuroScan Pro represents a major breakthrough in the field of mental health care. With this device, clinicians will be able to target specific regions of the brain with unprecedented accuracy and efficacy, leading to better outcomes for patients suffering from a wide range of mental illnesses.

The NeuroScan Pro is compact and highly portable, allowing it to be used in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, and even mobile outreach programs. Its real-time scanning capabilities will enable clinicians to quickly and accurately diagnose mental health conditions, while also providing real-time feedback during treatment.

"We are thrilled to receive this donation, which we believe has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach mental health care," said NAMI CEO Angela Kimball. "The NeuroScan Pro represents a major step forward in our efforts to improve outcomes for people living with mental illness, and we look forward to working with our partners in the medical community to make this technology widely available."

NAMI is committed to ensuring that the NeuroScan Pro is accessible to all who need it, regardless of their financial means. To that end, we will be working with manufacturers to keep costs as low as possible, and we will be advocating for increased insurance coverage for mental health services.

The NeuroScan Pro is a game-changer for mental health care, and NAMI is proud to be at the forefront of this exciting new development. We look forward to working with our partners in the medical community to bring this technology to those who need it most.

News Center Maine - Local Hunters Missing

In other local news, a search is still underway for a group of local men that went missing earlier last week. 

[A set of six pictures are shown on the TV, one after the other.]

The men were last seen preparing for a weekend camping trip in the local forest.  Local police were at first convinced that the men were lost, but initial searches of the area they said they were intending to camp in found nothing.  Expanding search areas continue to come up with nothing, and recent rain storms continue to slow search operations. 

At this point, search and rescue operations are beginning to transition to recovery operations.

Bigfoot Group descends upon Big Bend National Park

Texas News Report Nightly News.

A Texan News Reporter comes on the screen for the 9 pm news.

"As the winter months end and spring begins new life comes to the world. The local parks have had a massive uptick in reported supernatural activity in recent months. In between the reports of the lasers in the south and the Bigfoot sightings in the center of the state. However this has resulted in the local parks have begun receiving extra visitors resulting in higher revenue for the parks." 

The camera angle shifts showing some men riding in a caravan of vans pulling into National parks in Texas. Beside the News Reporters Head with the caption "Increased Visitors."

"It seems as though there is an organization that has relocated to Texas to hunt the Bigfoot. If your interested in signing up for this event you can find their Facebook group called Bigfoot Hunters Unite In Texas. They are accepting anyone over 18 and are planning on organizing many "hunts" over the next month or two." 

The Camera angle shifts back to just the news reporter. 

"Well that's it for tonight's news see you all tomorrow."

TikTok post: MONSTERS IN MAINE

The video starts with a shaky video, pointing at the ground in the dark while moving.  In a stage-whisper, a voice comes.

"Hey, hey, hey, viewers.  You know I've been trying to track down these freaks that live among us.  You know.  Werewolves.  And I think I've found where they're based.   I'm in Maine right now, in some forest like, a million miles from civilization.  You have to follow some winding industiral road with like 'no trespassing' signs and 'private road' and shit.  Total secret base shit.  And now there's like.. a ten foot fence with barbed wire on it.  I'm outside of Silverwolf Enterprises - the fuck name is that, right?  It's like they're advertising it - and this is totally a government site.  Security is super tight.  And... and wait for it...

The camera pans up, showing a shot though a fence.  There's a line of werehouses, each one with a 'Silverwolf Enterprises' placard, a logo, and an ID number.

"Wait for it.  Just.. wait for it.  He'll come out again."

Minutes pass.  Eventually, a form emerges from the warehouse though a man door.  It's dark out, and difficult to see them.  The outline looks vaguely non-human, though.  A tail, maybe?  Or just a shadow. 

"There!  See?  An honest-to-god werewolf.  Just walking around in a government base.  See?  IT ALL MAKES SENSE.  THE WEREWOLVES ARE THE SECRET GOVERNMENT.  AND-"

"HEY!  The fuck are you doing?  This is private property!"

A flashlight sweeps across the video.

"Oh, shit!"

The camera pans down to the ground, and clearly shows running.  There's the sounds of someone shouting behind until the video ends.

Welcome to the Faraday School for Extraordinary Children

A Politcal Firestorm?

A Summary of multiple articles, blogs, & reddits

-Iryna Vorobyova is in the Amazon, using her Metahuman powers to fight fires: Does the American Govt. condone sending Metahumans into other Sovereign nations to meddle in their internal affairs?

-What is her position on the War in Ukraine? Shouldn't she be over there protecting humans from fires & shelling rather than saving Spotted Owls?

-Greenpeace & other environmentalist groups welcome ALL Metahumans of good conscience to assist in saving the planet - Mark Collins is specifically mentioned - what good is fighting crime (Read: the oppression of the lower classes by the wealthy elite) if the planet is unihabitable in 20 years?

-Ousted Brazillian President Bolonsairo delivers a scathing critique of the new Regime: when you let the Metahumans in, you have sold the country to chaos. All Brazillians should mark this day as the beginning of the end.

-Ranchers & farmers who depend on the newly cleared ground are less receptive to Iryna's meddling. Will the Ubermencsh feed their children when the "Green Booted Thugs" take their land away?

-Drug Cartels & Cryptid smugglers are not pleased with the media attention. They ponder what to do about it.

Weigh station outside of Davis temporarily closed

A truck weigh station just east of Davis on I-80 has been unexpectedly closed for the last few days. The local Department of Motor Vehicles released a statement that none of the stations scheduled workers had showed up and the DMV was unable to contact them. They reappeared earlier today and resumed operation of the weight station. An investigation is under way to find the cause behind this unexpected closure and to reprimand the employees as necessary.

Double Escape

BREAKING NEWS

Bruce Johnson, a suspected accomplice in the escape of Cop Killer James Tucker escaped the hospital he was held in twice today - once resulting in a brief chase through the amarillo, the next without a trace! According to eyewitness report, he seems to have vanished into thin air!

The Governor has called for a crackdown on all "Servants of the Devil" within State Borders, going so far as deputizing local Baptists & commissioning silver bullets for Texas Rangers. The POTUS has urged for calm in this troubling matter, a call that has fallen on deaf ears in the Lone Star State. Senator Ted Cruz tweeted just after the incident:

"If the POTUS won't keep Americans safe, we'll do it ourselves!"

A Thin Blue Line

Police Unions & Federal agents all over mourn the loss of nigh-legendary Federal Agent Dallas Smith - this wound to justice in America will largely go unknown & unsung in civillian circles, as the investigation of Agent Smith's Supernatural Murder is still very much underway.

Still, to those who knew him, he was the "Southern James Bond" - always with a kind word, at the forefront of investigations, beloved by co-workers & casual accquaintances alike: Texas will miss it's favored son.

The reprecussions of this event will reach far beyond the investigation: Police Unions will exert their political capital in the States they hold sway, DEMANDING they be given the weapons & authority needed to reign in these Supernatural Threats. Political forces taking a stance firmly against the Supernatural will find a strong rallying cry from Law Enforcement:

"REMEMBER DALLAS SMITH!"

"Hello, I'm Alexander Holden, and I'm your host for tonight's Alaska's News Source, on KYES.  Our top story for the night is shocking new discoveries regarding a ship found in the middle of the ocean.

Live from Pampa Texas

A Helicopter circles the a desolate lansscape dotted with decaying buildings, decrepit mines, & swarming with police officers - the journalist reporting is talking loudly while cameras roll, fighting to be heard:

"Alright - we have word that the State Marshalls & Texas rangers are NOT waiting for a negotiation team, they are going in - no - they are not, it's...Mark Collins! Mark Collins, Boise's own Superman is going in with...who? A specialist of some kind, maybe...a Ranger? Is that right? Mark Collins, recently diagnosed with terminal cancer is going in with a Texas Ranger to attempt to bring James Tucker out! Now, while the get away vehicle was found abandoned not far in a river, there is still no guarantee this is - what? Shots fired! I repeat, shots fired within the Mine!!"

The camera pans down to the Mine to see all the converging police suddenly begin to retreat, as a muscle bound man comes bolting from the Mine, carrying two men, one in each hand. A heartbeat later, a violent explosion rocks the area, ejecting debris from the mouth of the Mine, which swiftly collapses.

"Oh my God! Did you get that?! There was an explosion in the Mine! Paramedics & police are moving in and...we got him! Mark Collins & the Texas Rangers have apprehended the Fugitive!"

Channel 7 News: A Brave New World or 1984 in the making?

A blonde male reporter brings in what the channel claims to be a special news bulletin, stating that they're receiving breaking news directly from the Governor's Office before he begins to read off the details as they are conveyed to him, the 24/7 news cycle having trained the man well as he said the following

"The Governor of Tennessee, Jeremy Wesley, released a statement today seeking out the good supernatural people of the world, asking them to back his new motion which has been met with powerful opposition from his opposition, and though many are decrying the effort it seems that the Governor is doubling down, what follows is his statement to the public"

The feed changes, showing Jeremy Wesley. Sharply dressed as always in the finest suit that money could buy, red tie neatly pressed and looking on directly into the camera as he issues the following statement

FALSE ALARM CALLED FOR HOSPITAL!

Breaking news: Greetings! This is David Chapel for broadcast news. Your only source for the news. Today before you is an awful site. A fire alarm was the afternoon at a hospital in Canada at St. Grace Hospital in Winnipeg.  The people are wet and out ragged. Because of the need to keep people secure foam was also deployed leaving people drenched. (A scene of patients wet and filled with foam fills the scene) Out of an abundance of caution fire fighters police and EMT's were called into deal with this massive amount or moistness. We are greatful for all the work of the first responders and hopefully people can dry up quickly and remeber how safe Canada is. This is Dave signing off.

Nationwide Forgery/Identity Theft Crime Ring Busted!

A Federal Bureau of Invesitgation press release quickly hit mainstream news:

The FBI set up a sting on a multi-state crime ring, resulting in fifteen people to date being apprehended and accused of participating in crimes related to document forgery and identity theft. The majority worked in the lower ranks of various Department of Motor Vehicles, and several worked at state agencies including the United States Social Security Administration and the United States Post Office. These individuals have received a range of indictments from eight United States Attorneys who's districts span from coast to coast. Statements were also made by several State Attorney General decrying the accusees' suspected actions--actions which help dangerous criminals evade the law, defraud citizens and government social services, and harm innocent children whos identities have been stolen and used for nefarious purposes for years without anyone knowing. 

Business seemed to have been good before the bust. Eighty-seven false identities suspected to have been made by the accused within the last year were publicly released as "people of interest" (excluding bu Fang's alias and the other alias he had set up recently). The FBI encouraged these individuals to come forward and cooperate with the ongoing investigation, with the associated benefits of doing so being subtly implied.

All news articles also included an obligatory warning: "Forgery is considered a crime in all 50 states and on the federal level. While state level forgery is punishable by up to several years in a state prison, federal forgery is a much more serious offense punishable by incarceration in a federal prison for up to 20 years, as well as costly fines."

As a result of the crime ring bust and public burn of fake identities, for the next several months (GM discretion) anyone using their criminal contacts to attempt to secure new Aliases (via a Move) will have a much more difficult time doing so. The majority of contacts fear that any interaction with their networks and even their regular clients will result in them being turned in.

Banksy Piece Verified in Washington DC

A new piece of art painted in Washington DC, recently believed to be a Copycat Banksy fake was verified as a legitimate piece by top art analysists and curators. The piece known as "The Gang" depicts multiple supernatural creatures from Bigfoot to aliens to mantis-men all together with a friendly human. Many who have looked at it have come away from the experience with more open minds towards the subject of togetherness with the supernatural.

Forced Conscriptions in Russia

---Al Jazeera Europe Reporting---

Complaints from rural areas of the Russian Federation continue to pour in, claiming that the "limited draft" for Russian soldiers to continue the Special Military Operation in Ukraine is disproportionately effecting poor villages & ethnic groups the Kremlin labels "undersirable." These unfortunate Conscripts are being used in Human Wave attacks on the front lines, with little to no training & sub standard equipment. An influx of youg Russian men continue to flood neighboring countries as those with the means abandon their livelyhood to avoid the draft.

Officials in the Russian Military had no comment on the matter at this time.

Texas, Kentucky, and Alabama roll out new Food Stamp Legislation

Food Stamps and social program legislation has come down cutting benefits for people in these states completely if they are unable to pass a drug screen. In addition, they have come out in public statements decrying the new strain of heroin that has begun flooding the streets. Blaming illegal immigration for this rise in new hard drugs, they are cracking down on border policies and travel of non-native citizens with additional random searches and the deployment of K-9s at all Texas, Kentucky, and Alabaman airports. This has been met with public outcry as they blame the recent introduction of Republican Support from reclusive financial magnate Timothy Humbug who has come into the political recently in support of these ventures and has been seen taking selfies in front of food kitchens that have been closed in high drug traffick neighborhoods with the hashtag on these being #GetFoodnotHigh.  

When questioned as to why he has given so much support to this movement Timothy said 

"It's just best that if you can't afford food, and you're buying drugs, having kids, and messing up my country you need to choose between your bad habits and survival. The soft-touch has not worked so I think it's just best for everyone that these people have to make a choice." 

Two Alliances

Five know that an alliance has been formed between the Knights of Equestria and the United Western Region. And then seven knew. And, as the months go by, 331,900 knew. All who wear Kevin’s Friendship Bracelet will receive favorable treatment from the members of a werecreature shadow government that span the United States. Not every werecreature knows about this group consisting of American citizens who consider themselves to have dual citizenship. Some of these citizens live entierly in what remains of the wild lands of North America, and others live entirely in modern society, hiding in plain sight. But all of these citizens understand that the new alliance means a willingness to help a friend in need.

Every friend of Kevin in Maelstrom receives a wedding invitation to celebrate the union of Barbara Kensington (a compassionate horse veterinarian in her early forties) and Kevin Sparkles: an afternoon wedding in Big Bend National Park, BBQ and picnic food, and the uniting of friends. An astute friend might note that the bride and groom didn’t know each other for very long. They may even notice that Barbara is happy but not bride-marrying-the-love-of-her-life happy. However, a beaming Kevin tells his guests that he believes he found his soul mate. Anna Xagua (Barbara’s adopted niece and soon-to-be Kevin’s stepdaughter) is a very shy yet happy maid of honor guest. Kevin’s grandma, who had nearly lost all hope of her precious grandson finding a "good one," is ecstatic. And Simba, Anna’s 10-year-old Maine Coon, doesn’t give a damn.

What might have been mistaken as wedding prep during the weeks before was a group of friends providing a different kind of support. One friend upped the security system of Kevin's suburb home in Chicago, adding an advanced technological layer to the existing magical one. Another helped install an environmentally friendly garden in the backyard. Another subtly drained the bank accounts and maxed out the credit cards of three individuals, one known to be dead and the two others presumed to be dead. Using the dark web and bitcoin shenanigans, a trust fund of $400,000 was set up to cover the additional expenses associated with being responsible for the well-being of a 15-year-old. It also covered the sudden wedding expenses.

Stories have intertwined, this time in a good way.

Legendary Sword Found by Famous Sentai Actor!

The news chimes and while it’s by no means breaking to some, to at least one person, it should be rather concerning. Pictures are leaked online from an anonymous source in reaction to the My Little Pony ARG. They start their leaked video on a black screen and start by congratulating those who were brave enough to seek out the secrets of Sparklestar Swordborn and Friends. The voice is obviously garbled and changed as to not be recognizable.

“However, only one could claim this prize and I’m sure the world will be overjoyed to see the First Knight of Equestria. Well, here he is!”

And the screen will flash to a vivid hidden camera photo of none other than the famous sentai actor, Daisuke Aino!

“This was a shock to me as well! We had two runners-up search for the Smoky’s Sword, but were unfortunately duped by forgeries.

The screen will flash with heavily blurred photos of two individuals. No identifiable information can be discerned perhaps except for the fact that they were both male.

“Their effort was commendable, but it is time to usher in and welcome our First Knight, the holder of a legendary blade imbued by the power of Smoky’s resolve! We eagerly await their process in spreading friendship and love across the planet!”

The Blue Daimyo/Rocker Missing multiple shows! Public suspect foul play? (Fringe)

A new rising star amongst the punk rock group scene. Given the name The Blue Daimyo, has stopped appearing out of nowhere! Believed to possibly be foul play from the goverment or rivaling band that wishes to squash such a star. The band she had joined, Mizugumo is now found without a lead vocalist and guitarist! Leaving them in shambles as they start looking everywhere for her. A missing person notice will be out for The Blue Daimyo, if anyone sees her, please inform the NPSC or NPA. You may also inform Mizugumo if you have found any possible clues as to her where abouts!

Temple Closed (Insular)

A rather well known local temple with a tourist industry is found to be closed for a month as the daughter of the head priest was sick. The head priest had to declare a safety concern after the whole Covid 19 ordeal and decided to isolate the temple closing it down. The general tourist economy in the area went for by 10%. But through mysterious means, the daughter of the head priest was found to be recovering soon. With it, the head priest opened the temple once again, with a face full of joy, bring back the tourist industry and economy. 

It’s Getting Quiet

In an expanse of Wildreness in America a predator has taken up a nesting area for unknown reasons. Though typically migrating is it's normal behavior it has chosen to stay and deviate from this standard behavior. It possesses a voracious appetite and seems to be incredibly picky in what it eats to the point of eating something to extinction in the area it claims. Some may have begun to notice that a few species have dispersed from this area but they seem to have chosen to not alert anyone. Three species have already disappeared throwing the location ecosystem into turmoil. Should this continue a total ecosystem crash is a potential in the area. The species that make up an ecosystem are connected in complex "food webs" of eater and eaten. When one species disappears, its predators can no longer eat it and its prey are no longer eaten by it. Changes in these populations affect others. Such impact 'cascades' can be unpredictable and sometimes catastrophic.

This Just In...

At 7am local time, Jules Point - a man named by the creature Connor Metal just before his brutal death at the hands of an angry mob, was seen today to stop his Audi in the middle of traffic on the high point Pennsacola Bay Bridge - as enraged commuters looked on, he stepped out of his car, moved to the edge, raised his arms to the sky & apparently (according to onlookers) shouted:

"CHAMAEL, FORGIVE ME!"

Before leaping to the waters below - the car snagged EMS response, so far Mr. Point has not been found.

Pagnanelli CEO Steps Down | His Son Takes Over and Makes a Statement

A time slot is selected on several news channels mainly across the US. It is titled as a Public Announcement: Pagnanelli CEO Steps Down.

When the time slot arrives, a live conference in an undisclosed location appears on screen. There’s a pause for a few seconds before a man, well dressed in a suit and tie and dress pants walks on stage. His short cut matte black hair is a bit messy, his eyes are baggy, and his face is difficult to read, but he immediately speaks without script or hesitation,

“Greetings, fellow Americans. I hope your holidays are as warm as they are fortunate. I regret to inform you that the CEO of Pagnanelli Industries has stepped down. He referenced his short sightedness and old methods for the company’s stagnation and for that, he offers his sincerest apologies. He plans to retire and will likely never return to corporate politics in the future.”

The man pauses, takes a deep breath, and stands up a bit straighter,

“Thus, I, his son, Jonathan Pagnanelli, will be taking his place as CEO henceforth.”

Cameras flash and questions immediately spew from the lips of anxious reporters, but as Jonathon begins to speak, they quiet down.

“Rest assured, our objectives to protect the people and pioneer a new age of technology has not changed. We still intend to provide protection against the negatively inclined gifted among us, however, I fully believe in a future society where the gifted can walk among us without the need to hide their true nature from us. My gifted friends, I speak directly to you. If you are with us, we are willing to extend a hand to help… However, if you choose to stand against us, we will not hesitate to protect the people and ourselves in full cooperation with the authorities. My father may have been old, but he was a family man at heart and he protected his kin like no other. I plan to follow him in that respect. Thank you for your time.”

Jonathan adjusted his suit and walked off the podium. To any perceptive individuals, a card of some sort peeked out of his suit pocket. The words were small and surprisingly legible, but would definitely need to be looked at a little closely to gleam their meaning.

Tragedy struck the tiny town of Nolen's Gap this past week when it was discovered that a serial killer had sprouted up within its quiet rural domain once again. Our special reporter Danielle Riveria is here to cover the strange and harrowing saga of the small town as it struggles to recover from the deadly blow dealt to its citizens and its economy.  

The feed swaps for a moment, cutting to show a professional-looking woman outside a police department where police tape and shattered windows can do little to shield the public from the sight of the horror within, and though the camera's focus is elsewhere this shot is the angle that will captivate local news all across Tennessee for about a week.

The woman pauses to gaze at the horror before turning back, with a false smile plastered on to mask the revulsion she doubtlessly felt at what she had just witnessed as she turns to report

"This small Tennessee town was gripped in terror this past week, In positive news, it seems it has been confirmed that chicken giant Purdue will be stepping in to fill the hole left behind by the departure of the once loved locally owned chicken farm, providing jobs and stability in these uncertain times to these country folk who were in desperate need.

Now, some minority voices have been raised in protest stating that this marks the death of the small town's independence, but we at Channel 7 couldn't disagree more. In bringing in the big boys, this small town is also bringing in big business wages to match its big business acumen, and we think this town's residents will smile a little wider once they open up those first paychecks. Until next time, this is Channel 7 Tennesse signing out. "

The feed cuts back, and the story is immediately moved over to another. Discussing yet another horrific school shooting. One in a march of a thousand modern tragedies. Forgotten before the week is done for those not watching. 

My Little Pony: The Story of Sparklestar Swordborn and Friends!

A surprise release of a full My Little Pony TV show has been leaked online, but there are more than a few oddities to accompany it. For starters, questions about its quality. The more niche side of the internet is in a bit of a positive uproar, but most others are met with confusion. Hasbro has come forward to announce that they were not the creators of the show, cementing this as an assumed fan-made creation. The YouTube community caught wind and some are starting to report on it,

"Dude, I don't understand how they even did this! It looks way too real! Like, look at that edge line and compare it to every other movie that's been released in the last decade. I guarantee you, you will never find one so consistent. The budget on this had to be insane!"

"The pores stretch! The pores stretch!"

"It really is a wonder. Just looking at it- you can usually tell what studio or person made this, but it has a completely unique style we don't see anywhere else."

“Yo, Pixar and Disney better watch the fuck out! There’s a new kid on the block!”

The show depicts the adventures of Sparklestar Swordborn and his band of friends defending the public from monsters, and the greedy and selfish villains wielding superhuman abilities. Specifically, the story takes great care in fleshing out the main characters and their motivation for gaining their own abilities and powerful game changing equipment and armor. While not all are entirely noble, the characters are however sympathetic and many online have expressed their love for them in the way Tumblr and 4chan tend to. Art shows up on various forums of some prominent main characters:

Platinum Moon

Onyx Armor

Brisk Spirit

Cookie Dough

However, that is not where the oddities end. There are 12 episodes in total- or well, there are supposed to be. The 11th episode is noticeably absent- the episodes skip from 10 and move straight to 12 as if it were just plucked out of the pile. In any case, all 11 episodes are titled and while the actual episodes themselves are played straight, after the ending theme, some people have noticed that a set of numbers flash on the screen for the final frame of every episode that was released. A list has already been compiled:

Episode Names | Numbers/Letters

1. A new adventure awaits for us | adf
2. What a wonderful wonder friendship brings | 9f5
3. Kindness is never in short supply | 4d
4. For honesty, no pony can deny | 2d3
5. When danger makes you wanna hide | 829
6. A heart that shines so beautiful | 89
7. We'll make it special every time | 232
8. Do you know you're all my very best Friends! | e4
   
9. Our friendship's magic and it's growing every day | c60
   
10. What is friendship all about | 314
11. (Absent)
12. Friendship is magic! | bf5

Furthermore, alongside each episode, still images were also uploaded- 12 in total. The file names of the still images correspond directly with the episode names they released with. Most of it is poses or action shots of the characters fighting against evil and even though there is no 11th episode, there is an 11th image. However, instead of an action shot, it's about 2000 lines of gray text in tiny size ten font on a pure black background that reads:

"Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me! Do not open me!

There is more to this Pandora’s box than where I come from…”

So far, nobody has been able to figure out what this means.

New Charity Organization offers Insulin to various communities at Florida

                                                Recently in the wealthy city of Palm Beach, a Charity was started by Edgar Trowsten, going by the name of the Millerson Foundation, named after his son of 6, dying to a diabetic related condition due to a lack of insulin. Given how his last charity collapsed due to a lack of funding, it came as much surprise to him when multiple anonymous donaters sent 10s of thousands of dollars his way, properly funding the charity to start Insulin production and giving it away to those in need, working with Hen's Truckers to transport them from town to town to help those who can't afford life saving insulin normally

Mark Collins starts GoFundMe

Mark Collins has spent his whole life helping others, now it's your turn to help him.

Mark's goal for this is $375,000, enough to cover chemo, pharmaceuticals, and day to day expenses since being a hero doesn't pay the bills.

If he does not raise these funds, Mark will do his best to continue helping people as long as he can, but his Doctor only gives him 6 months without treatment as it has been discovered his cancer has metastisized from his pituitary and spread throughout his body, requiring heavy chemo.

"Mark showed up and, after getting to know him a little, he gave us hope where there was none before. Made us think we could make a difference. It's the least we can do." 

William Cerrow, heir to the shipwrecked MV Bianca. 

"He killed the Kraken for us when one else was coming, and even saw us all to shore individually. He even helped me find relatives after that and get back on my feet."

Just what you can spare, Mark wouldn't want it any other way.

College Campus Shut Down While Police Investigate

A News Story breaks in the sleepy town of Goshen, IN on the 10 o Clock news. 

A reporter sits behind a table with a grimace on their face. They look directly into the screen and announce slowly "The local college Goshen College was closed today as a Gun fight apparently ensued around 7:15." The reporter shuffles some papers and then continues. "Reportedly 6 individuals were involved in the gunfight with four being slain. The police have identified through ids on the victims the names of the deceased and have released them and are asking for anyone to come forward if they have any information." The reporter shuffles once more as three pictures come up next to him from security cameras showing three faces "The victims were a Johnathon Larat, a Bismark Candy as well as what appears to be a second Mr. Candy who's first name has not been released, and a Dr. Darius Wilson. The reporter looks at the camera and solemnly says "It was a travesty so much death on another school grounds police also report two  other victims were found deceased no more then a block away and police are investigating if there is a connection." The reporter solemnly finally looking at the camera and says "An Austin Metra was seen fleeing the scene so please call  911 if you have any information or call ×××-×××-×××× to reach the Goshen Police Department."

Legendaгy Loch ness мonsteг’s skeleton washed υp on a Scottish beach

-

Between 1988 and 1991, the Federal Police of Brazil estimate that almost six thousand minors were killed in the street by active, off-duty, and former police force members. While some of these children’s murders or “executions” can be written off as police doing what they have to do to keep the country safe from criminals (proven guilty or not), many cases simply used that concept as an excuse to be negligent, lazy, or downright sadistic. These children were often homeless, having no education, job, or claim to legal identity farther than a name on a death certificate.

And it is from these death certificates that a bribed man chooses a name and CPF to pass over to Amarjeet Inderpal. A child named Theo Simões, shot at 11, whose face and birth date roughly match those of Connor Inkz. The real Theo’s death is now erased from all records in place of a heartwarming set of articles on his life and success as a tattoo artist: Theo Simões had a room full of drawings as a child, Theo Simões was approached by a famous artist and told to never give up, Theo Simões has a secret work of the girlfriend he lost in a tragic car accident leading to a passion for beautiful things to stick with him forever and learning to put what he loves literally into his skin, etc etc etc, falsehoods with drama fit for a Netflix original series.

Connor Inkz receives a passport and set of identifying documents that mean, for all intents and purposes, he is a free man. He is able to leave Brazil with a fresh smile on his face (literally, thanks to his powers) and continue to travel and purchase under this identity.

Chaos at the Hilton Hotel!

---BREAKING NEWS---

Terrorists seemingly associated with pop star Batamir Feratu attacked a private auction at the New York Hilton Hotel: Armed fans burst in with firearms, injuring security & damaging the structure. Professor Stanley Goldstein of Miskatonic University was ghoulishly murdered, his body grotesquely distorted in a manner eerily similar to the Feratu album "Scapegoat."

Police have no suspects are arrested. A $30,000 reward is being offered for any information leading to these suspects at large.

The Boratu estate issued no comment at this time

Developing Story...

A person going by the name of "Ricky Sanchez" infiltrated the hospital holding one "Momma Ettu", a figure of some controversey who was recently brutally attacked & maimed in a crime bearing disturbing similarities to the death of one Connor Metal, the human/serpect Chimera killed in Police custody in Florida.

Mr. Sanchez secured work at the hospital in the dietary/nutrition department for a full month, no doubt reconnitering the hospital & security measures in place. Having determined the relevant patterns & shift changes, Mr. Sanchez then abducted Ms. Ettu from her bed, hiding the crippled old woman in a food delivery cart. There after security cameras show him brazenly move the cart to the garbage bins out back, & transfer what we can presume is Ettu to a waiting garbage truck. Thus far, Ettu, Sanchez, & the Truck have not yet been discovered.

Is this more work by the dastardly malefactors who so brutally attacked the famed occultist? Or is this the work of yet another interested party, abducting the woman for ransom, or even for occult purposes? At this time, no one knows for sure - the man named "Ricky Sanchez" seems to have never existed, with all related information provided to the employer being false or misleading.

Once again, the nation holds it's breath, waiting to see the fate of the unfortunate Mama Ettu...

Fox 5 New York Exclusive: South Central Park loft ablaze.

We interrupt this program to bring you this special broadcast, Viewer Discretion is advised. 

Fox 5 New York Special Broadcast: Unknown gang suspected in the kidnapping and severe maiming of acclaimed controversial occultist "Momma Ettu". 

A special news broadcast that interrupted the feed on every channel, Fox 5 was just the one to get it first this time. Those who catch this later may receive this in the form of a News Article on their site, commemorating the tragedy of Momma Ettu, little Oscar Williams, and the 10 who perished in the ensuing panic and fire. 

The feed comes in quickly, a woman in a neat black suit with a stack of papers in front of her gazes into the camera. Her eyes sunken, and dark, telling the story before she ever spoke. 

"11 dead, 20 injured. This is the death toll of what is being called the South Central Park bombing, including little Oscar Williams. All were killed in a suspected gang-related attack on South Central Park today at High Noon. Exclusive footage shows a terrifying man, easily the size of an Olympic bodybuilder tearing out of the apartment building at what are unnatural speeds carrying the now formally declared missing famed occultist Momma Ettu who appeared to be severely injured in what Authorities are now saying was a supernaturally assisted kidnapping attempt. Though Momma Ettu is a recently controversial figure, we at Fox 5 New York now pray for her discovery and that this does not spell the end of her storied life. If anyone has any leads that may lead to the identification, or location of the man documented kidnapping her on the screen now, Authorities are offering a 20,000 bounty for information that leads to their capture." 

The screen will linger on the appearance of a masked man before the 24-hour news cycle cuts to another bit of coverage, the weather forecast for people watching live, but for those catching this later, they'll see that the video ends here.

For those living there though. Everyone in New York saw it, heard it, and felt it. The explosion that killed a child, evolved into a fire that claimed the lives of 10 others in the ensuing panic rather through stampeding or fire, and the kidnapping of that old lady. After the grenade went off and they confirmed it was a bombing, they shut down the bridges and the planes. Tens of millions bottled up in a city won't easily forget the cause, and soon enough, Momma Ettu's kidnapping became the talk of the town in a town that couldn't sleep. 

No one had any solid suspects, any leads that meant a damn thing, but the search and rescue eventually found Momma Ettu. The news feed that day had over 5 million views as the nation turned to see a celebrity they had thought dead come back to life. 

Famed Occultist Momma Ettu Rescued, Fox News 5 Exclusive:

The feed this time is of a paramedic team wheeling a maimed woman covered in a blanket being loaded onto a stretcher. The grim expressions painted across the features of the men and women in charge of her care paint a clear picture of the information that came next as the camera would cut back to the News Reporter who's expression soon mirrored that of the paramedics as they read what had occurred as they spoke it, their voice shaking 

"The missing occultist Momma Ettu was discovered in the basement of a home not too far from the shores of New York City itself. Chained to a radiator, her eyes and tongue removed, and her ears damaged to the point that she can no longer hear. The old woman was further tortured it seems, with the words "Thief" and "Betrayer" carved into her chest. Paramedics were able to confirm that the bleeding had been stopped on all these wounds with a method of crude cauterization that also seemed to be the manner of inflicting the majority of these injuries. Though they are unable to ascertain the nature of her blindness and deafness, as these seem to be newly identified malformities in her physiology which as far as they can ascertain were congenital. This strange attack, however, has drawn the nation's attention to the once-controversial educator, and now it is our thoughts and prayers that we offer for her recovery. Thus it is with a prayer for the departed that this is Fox News 5, signing out."

The screen then transitions to where a group is holding a candlelight vigil and prayer for those harmed in this tragedy, and a donation hotline is plastered across the bottom of the screen for those looking to assist the people who have lost in this tragedy.

Inside of a pickup on a dirt road in a sleepy town in the middle of nowhere...

"Soon will be the day of reckoning," an aging man says to another. "He has shown His glory, I saw it with my own two eyes." The man wears well-beaten overalls, dirty with the mechanical black grease. He has a pistol on his right hip, the holster still left unbuckled from an attempted draw just minutes ago.

"Father McCarthy spoke of his vision a few days back. That he knew that it would soon be time for us to be called upon," the second man says, slightly younger than the first. This one wears jeans and a green t-shirt spotted with specks of dirt and mud. "I've been practicing down at the range for exactly all of this."

"He came to us because He knew we would be useful. I couldn't understand a single word he said, but I know that to be true," says the first, "He sees something in us. A real life angel in our place of worship. Father McCarthy will talk to some folks, but he doesn't want us blabbing too much. Can't let the word get out too far. He said that the angel told us to wait...

"...and he said the angel's name was Chamael."

Contractor Witch Hunt In Angleton Texas

"Yesterday, at 6:00 pm in Angleton texas, multiple explosions rocked the city. Illegal homemade explosives were used in attempts to cover up a bank robbery, which was used as an attempt to persecute a local family, as shown by text messages on the suspect's cellphones. Their ringleader was John White, who is still at large."

"They faked a bank robbery and sightings of these "contractors" using the explosives, in an attempt to frame these women, by using illegal evidence obtaining techniques."

"Anyone with knowledge of White's whereabouts please report him to your local authorities."

Contractors shoot lightning at Armored SUV in Johnsbury, Vermont

A state-wide news story has garnered national attention.

Johnsbury, Vermont:

Multiple eyewitness accounts confirm that a supernatural high speed chase took place in our city yesterday evening. 

The cause is unknown, but an abandoned, totalled armored SUV was found on site, with a hole blown in the back. 

Marie Pedio, 22, of the local Starbucks claims it began there when 4 people pulled up into the parking lot and handed a bundled up package to another guest. She did not identify the guests, and management cited a malfunction on the security cameras. What she does know, is that as they were talking to the customer who was already there, an armored SUV pulled up into the parking lot and the contractors were visibly unsettled by it's appearance.  It had no visible government or company markings. One of the contractors got into the SUV before it sped off, and the others quickly gave chase.

The reckless high speed chase damaged several vehicles, and 4 people were treated for minor injuries in the aftermath though only one was hospitalized, and has since been released.

Red light cameras caught photos of the chase in progress. A state-wide response has been initiated for the investigation, through in full cooperation with the FBI after a Henry Ballard, sheriff of Bethlehem, New Hampshire tipped them off that a group matching the description stayed at the local inn and were seen poking around his town before being swarmed by local wildlife fleeing a local estate.  "We ain't really seen nothin like this before. First the crows, then it comin to a head like this? We're a small, safe town, and if we all keep our wits about us I'm sure we can get past it and move on. I bet all this was related to those.. what's the word.. contractors?"

Descriptions given by the Ms Padio line up with descriptions given by several locals of Bethlehem, and it is believed to have been the same group. One member had small horns noticable on their head.

Though it hasn't been formally released, there have been some images posted on the data hosting site 'Cryptoleak'.

In the interest of transparency, we have included a photo, though keep in mind the FBI have not made any statement as to it's validity. 

(Two photos are included- one of a armored unarmed SUV with tinted windows taking a turn so sharply two of it's wheels are off the ground, then of a car in hot pursuit with a shattered windshield, a sniper rifle barrel protruding through a hole near the dashboard, and someone wearing a full hood like you'd see on a hazardous materials suit handing their head out of the window to drive. 

Both vehicles had multiple tires punctured in the shootout, riding on their back rims, showering sparks on the road.

When police arrived, the SUV was on its side, on fire, and the suspected contractors had fled the scene. 

RECOVERED FOOTAGE | GORILLA APPARENTLY DECLARED ALLEGIANCE TO ISIS BEFORE CAR BOMBING A RESEARCH INSTITUTION!!!

It is currently the 8th August at 7:00 pm and THIS JUST IN, recovered footage of a natural disaster now suspected of being a terrorist attack. Distant witnesses claimed to see a spontaneous tornado appear in the forest. Trees and dirt were flung high in the air- lasting between 5 and 19 seconds! When authorities hit the scene, it was apparently a massacre at the Pagnanelli research center. A death toll of 100%. 

When authorities collected leftover footage, it was discovered that most of it was erased, with the exception of this:

The footage rolls and plays the video of a gorilla driving down the road in a black Ford Humvee. It sticks its arm out the car window, shouts "ooh ooh aah aah", and crashes into the research building. The car explodes soon after and the footage cuts out.

"The authorities are investigating with Pagnanelli. We will update you as the situation unfolds!"

PAGNANELLI FINALLY MAKES A PUBLIC STATEMENT!

An event will be scheduled- a time slot filled with the section name above.

A man will approach a podium, middle aged with short black hair, hazelnut eyes, and dressed in a clean black suit and tie. He leans into the mic,

“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the American public and residents of Indiana. My name is Jeremy Pagnanelli- the CEO of Pagnanelli. I understand our agency has received negative press in the last 6 months and for the affected families, I empathize. Our great nation and this great state more expressly, have been made aware of the existence of Contractors. Supernatural individuals who are highly dangerous yet could be anyone you know- neighbors, friends, and family included. 

Well, we have conducted internal investigations and have determined that the actions of our employees and workers are the result of these Contractors and their ability to exert control over people like you and I. Those with families, lives, and livings just trying to provide for their loved ones. Azazel, the victim of a spontaneous attack by Contractors, was a personal and family friend. He will be missed. Dr. Goldberg is currently in medical care as a result of the stress this whole ordeal has caused him. And I do not believe I need to remind us of the actions of David Silvana and his decision to end thousands of lives during the Indianapolis Bombings on August 1st.

But I am here to tell you, the people, that we are done. As of now, we are currently in talks with the Federal Government in a mutual partnership for the sole interest of protecting the American people. So fear not, fellow citizens. I know you have questions. I know you are scared- as am I. But this is the world we will live in if changes are not made. A world where, at any time, you may be possessed, killed, or mind controlled for crossing the wrong person on their worst day.

So stay sharp, fellow citizens. We are committed to your safety and will keep you updated.”

As the man walks away from a whirlwind of camera flashes and shouting reporters, he adjusts his suit and gives an assertive glance to the camera. To many, it would appear as an assertive demeanor from a man that means business. 

To others, it’s an accepted challenge. A dare? A provocation?

 It was a declaration of war.

LOCAL PAGNANELLI SECURITY GUARD FOUND PUNCHING BABIES IN MATERNITY WARD!!

This just in- breaking news- it is 9 pm and we've just been informed that a psycho guard in full combat gear stormed into the local Indianapolis hospital, made his way to the maternity ward, and began to use a pair of brass knuckles to start beating newborn babies, nurses, and their mothers. We have video of the incident. Be aware, folks, what you see will be very disturbing.

The video feed will begin and depict a man hyping himself up, constantly saying "Get psyched! Get psyched! Get psyched!". The man with a wide smile and a hyped expression storms into the ward, decks a nurse upside the head, and then breaks the glass that leads to the room of newborn. The subsequent footage is extremely blurred out and the sound is cut. But the subtitles detail that the man was screaming, "For Pagnanelli! For Pagnanelli! Fuck your kids! Fuck your kids!". The footage cuts out.

A reported 17 babies were murdered and 31 were mortally wounded in the attack. Following the recent attack on Indianapolis, the people just can't get a break.

This is part of a long line of Pagnanelli accusations where previously, two senior scientists were filmed fornicating with a corpse and eating babies respectively. The federal government has remained suspiciously quiet through the entire ordeal. We will update you as the situation unfolds!

Mysterious stop to Novograd fishermen disappearances.

The dissappearences linked to alchohol consumption problem in Novograd among fishermen on the lake persisting over the last year has suddenly stopped. Rumors among the local fishermen summed the dissappearences up to the Native legend of the Rushalka but the population sits gratefully in confusion at the sudden end to the losses on the lake.

The Kraken Slayer cracks down on terror!

KRAKEN DOWN ON ISIS

The Boise Superman has gone international!

In Belgrade today, ISIS struck the national museum of art and in doing so destroyed many unique pieces of art, and even stole a mountain of cursed gold! 

However, the superhero of America stood in front of a hail of bullets and even tackled a man aiming an RPG at Serbian culture, taking it to the chest and coming out the other side wounded but alive!

Though ISIS did bring reinforcements to ultimately defeat the police, and Mark Collins himself the Serbian military was bought enough time to save the day without further casualties. 

In addition, security footage recovered from the event detailed a strange woman fleeing out the back shortly followed by a woman abducting the curator and absconding while pursued by his secretary! Was this woman involved in these awful attacks? More at 11. 

The Public Grieves for Indianapolis' Terrorist Attack | Memorial Established at Local Hospital

"The dead will never be forgotten and the people are making sure of that. Indianapolis Hospital is hosting a free event for the families of the victims. Those majorly affected by the incident are encouraged to come down and bring a token of rememberence."

The camera peers around toward a smiling couple with tears streaming down their faces. People are dancing, laughing, and celebrating for an unknown reason. A few people off to the side look on with minor disgust at the display. The cameras observe more families with sour faces drive into the parking and the moment they step out of their cars, their faces lift and their frowns dissapear. They look at each other with a mix of shock, happiness, horror, and belated joy.

What is going on?...

MURDERS IN JACKSON MISSISSIPPI AND THE GOLF OF MEXICO!!!! A SUSPECTED CONTRACTOR?!?!

Breaking News! All was well within the small summer town of Jackson Mississippi, until a worried resident after not seeing any of his neighbors all day called the police. The authorities sweeped every house until they came across the residence of Micheal Brown- a proud retired Marine with a wife and two children. His backyard and living room were reportedly a horror scene with his wife, two kids, and 10 of his neighbors's clothes and blood DNA were discovered all around his house. His was discovered in his room- having suffered the same fate. The police suspect a Contractor. We will update you as the situation unfolds!

Good evening, we've just been informed from several witnesses that there was an attack off of the coast of Texas! Over a dozen sailors and two Coast Guard armsmen lost their lives before the threat was located. We don't have any pictures, but the government is implementing a stern watch on America's Eastern coast in search of the perpretrator. The Coast Guard urges everyone to steer clear and report any suspicious activity!

LIVE BROADCAST: Captured Indianapolis Terrorist Speaks!

A man with curly hair speaks into a cluster of microphones in front of a small audience of journalists. The major networks are all there, broadcasting live. 

“I am Wilbur Smith, graduate of Casa Verde and special agent with the FBI. I have been spent the past five years investigating a group of mercenary killers. They refer to themselves only as ‘Contractors.’ The perpetrator of the recent terrorist attack in Indianapolis is in our custody and has confessed to being a member of this ‘Contractor’ organization. To avoid the death penalty, he has confessed and agreed to comply with officials to help us end this dangerous terrorist organization. Without further ado, here is David Silvana.”

The curly-haired man leaves the stage. A pair of black-suited agents escorts an impossibly-thin and pale man onto the stage. He clears his throat and begins to speak.

“My name is David Silvana, and I am a contractor.

“That is what we call ourselves. We work for powerful, shadowy individuals that we call the harbingers. They offer us power: supernatural artifacts, superpowers,  status, influence. In exchange we do anything they ask.

“We are cold and effective. We have no allegiance besides to the harbingers. We torture and kill. None of us have ever been brought to trial. Our murders go unsolved. We are subtle. Half the time, people think our targets died of natural causes.

“Not all Contractors look like me. Most are normal people with normal jobs. You can never tell who might be one of us. 

“The attack in Indianapolis was just another job well done. I did not work alone.

“Witnessing the pain and destruction touched something inside of me. I am willing to work with the authorities to dismantle the contractor organization. To begin I will reveal all of the Contractors that I have worked with.

“By the way, Goodberg is a cruel bastard.

“Here are the names of the other Contractors I have worked with: Kaerym Yasura, Mary Alice, Frank Cooper—“

The crack of a high powered rifle rings out, and David’s head pops like a grape. The rattle of automatic gunfire punctuates the panicked screams of the crowd. Finally, a series of fiery explosions consume the stage, and the live broadcast turns to static.

850NEWS.COM - Pensacola, Florida - Police station protest devolves into a massacre. 

The newest article on the website includes the T.V. report attached as a video file followed by a content warning below that reads 

“The following footage may be disturbing to many, viewer descression is advised.”  

Alice Williams was able to get a hold of an active protestor, they wished to remain anonymous however they have agreed to give us their side of events 

The following is a transcript of the interview, a full length vide of the interview is due to be released tomorrow. 

“It all started because of that fucking snake I tell you, that snake who lied corrupting the minds of men, a monster who shed his ugly disguise to reveal what was beneath - THE DEVIL, DEVIL INCARNATE I TELL YOU! AND THEN I HEARD THE VOICE OF GOD, GO FORTH HE TOLD ME, BRING ME THE SNAKE’S HEAD BEFORE IT ESCAPES!"

"Oh but I wasn’t the only one who heard it, I'm not crazy, no no no no, my brothers in arms also heard every word loud and clear, and it is then when we took action!"

"The pigs you see, they’re in league with the devil, they tried hiding the serpent of Eden, escape with it BUT DIVINE PROVIDENCE WAS ON OUR SIDE, THE LORD CAME DOWN FROM HEAVENS AND HE IMMOBILISED THE DEVIL’S CARRIAGE, it is then when the servants of the devil dropped their act and opened fire, thinking they could mow us – righteous god-fearing pure-blooded Americans down like we were cattle, but we fought back and won, we reminded the devil of the second amendment yes ma'am so we did!"

"And the... first deceiver, what came of it?"

"OH, THAT BAG OF SIN AND SCALES? I did the Lord’s work myself, with these two hands, I tore its head clean off and hung it up on one of the street lights to send Satan a message, don’t fuck with the U to the S of the motherfucking A!” 

Attached is a photo of a mutilated torso with the lower half of a snake hanging from a street light, its head is missing, a giant gaping hole is present where the individual’s heart would be and the word “SNITCH” is carved into what’s left of their body in large blocky letters, the individual seems to have sustained countless stab wounds to the abdomen among the already described injuries. 

The backdrop framing the body is that of a police station aflame as the first responders perform their active duty. 

Our reporters were able to get their hands on unedited footage of the riot.

Attached below is grainy footage of the riot captured by the street cameras, it depicts a crowd of around fifty protestors throwing Molotov cocktails at the police line in front of the Pensacola police station before all as one charging towards the back parking lot seemingly unphased by tear-gas,  

The protestors break the police line and trample several officers underfoot  

Sounds semi-automatic sidearms being discharged can be heard shortly after as an armoured SWAT truck peels out of the parking lot only to be followed by the sounds of two fully automatic rifle being discharged into the crowd as the protestors collapse one after another. 

The firefight is short lived and the sounds of automatic fire soon die down though the protestors proceed to tear into each-other, using anything from firearms to their bare hands as in-fighting begins to take place. 

In the midst of the bloodshed a vaguely masculine figure can be seen fleeing the parking lot, weaving through smoke and tear gas as if trying to conceal their presence, their left hand halfway tucked under their shirt – it appears larger than the other and is severely deformed, though the exact nature of the deformity is impossible to tell due to the quality of the footage.

A young woman in a slick grey suit stands in front of the camera, at her back what was just a few hours ago the local Pensacola police station. 

The building is ablaze as firefighters actively combat the raging fire while medical personnel carry people away on stretchers and pack bodies away into black bags. 

“850 NEWS, Alice Williams, live from 1301 N Palafox St, Pensacola, FL 32501 where just a few hours ago a horrible riot took place claiming the lives of protestors and police officers alike."

The woman gestures at the remains of the police station at her back in a smooth, practiced motion.

“Witnesses report the local law enforcement opening fire into the crowd of protestors after several hours of escalating tensions which arose in relation to the individual known only as “Conner” - A monster rights activist who was found deceased on the scene less than twenty-four hours after giving their heart-breaking interview.” 

 The reporter takes a second to produce a notepad and proceeds.

“The estimated casualties are currently as follows  - Eight officers deceased, Two gravely injured, civilian casualties are currently estimated to be in the double digits. “

The woman's voice remains cold as ice, collected, proffesional and her expression is completely unchanged dispite the disturbing numbers she lists off, she continues without misisng a beat.

Batimir Press release! Clips of batimir answering questions at the end!

Batimir is standing in front of a stand. Seems like one of the stereotypical auditoriums as he has the Brother of blood flag behind him. He looks at the camera and the “crowd” before proceeding to start his speech.

“ I, Count Batimir Feratu, have come today to make a public statement regarding my recent
"disappearance" from the public eye, I'd like to inform the public on what I've been up to
as well as address some recent conspiracies and allegations I've received, as well as answer
any questions or concerns. I've also come up today to make a few statements and reveals
to the public as well regarding future plans and the results of my soul searching.

As a disclaimer I'd like to let you, the public, all my wonderful fans and patrons and all
those of you, equally as wonderful as you all are, to what I've been up to this past year.
I've spent this past year soulsearching, As some of you may know I've had quite the extensive
life and career and it's been a taxing one, I've spent this last year figuring what it is 
I as Batimir Feratu wish to do in this world with my new position as the philanthropist pop
icon I have become, and I have made a decision.

I, Count Batimir Feratu, wish to use my status and wealth and assets and connections in order
to benefit the human condition, it is appalling to me as a person who has suffered from the
qualms of disease and preexisting health conditions such as hemophilia and albinism, that
in the modern day and age some of us still suffer from such conditions and are often out of
luck when it comes to treating such conditions. I've began to draft up plans for how Im going
to use my person going forward, but I've decided to open up more research facilities, sponsor
teams and projects, and in general make incredible donations to philanthropy and charity works
to help those disadvantaged people.
This brings up the next notice I'd like to address, recently if some of you have been paying
attention to the news surrounding my name you'd know about a certain blog and certain allegations
of a "White Supremacist Cult" that I lead, I'd like to state that this is incredibly offensive
and hurtful to myself as I would never put a person over another purely due to race or 
blood or background... We all bleed the same shade, our blood is all the same, but this blog
has brought up a important oversight of mine... I don't do enough in the company that I've
created and It's brought to my attention that I need to start taking initiative.

I will be apart of the hiring process more closely now, I've decided to open up scholarship
programs for those looking to get into the medical and research fields, especially those of color 
backgrounds such as Asian, Hispanic / Latino, African American, Indigneous, and other groups.
I've decided that it's important to open up such a exclusive field to more people, and I've
began to make the push for programs and scholarship paths for people to take.
Additionally I've began pushing for the opening of internships at the Brothers of Blood for
such people, to start off their budding careers.

It's very important to me that I take an active role as a Philanthropist and do all that I can
while I am still here, In my thirties it has already dawned on me that the Rockstar life
that I used to live-out voraciously in my twenties is a youthful possession that is but a 
thing of the past, in my thirties, it is time for action.
Additionally as an Address to the recent incident with the Biker Gang, I would like to state
that I was spending the day out with a dear friend of mine, inquiring to them about a 
possible internship at the Brothers of Blood, I was testing out a new program and I wanted
them to be apart of it's first stages. It was then that we were assaulted by a gang of Bikers
who made an attempt on our lives, I believe they wanted my money? Or had some type of grudge
against me for my past Rock career? Regardless I defended both myself, and my dear friend,
and fled the scene for safety. "

With the end of that speech, there is audio of audience clapping but no visuals before the video is cut.

The video shows a crowd of paparazzi and people trying to get batimir’s attention as he leaves the HQ of the Brothers of Blood organization located in LA. He hushes them and chooses people that start to raise their hand.

R: Is it true that you support white supremacy?

B: This is not true. As stated in the press release. We all hurt and bleed the same, in fact, I was recently assaulted by someone that believes in white supremacy.

R: On the CCTV, We saw you were fighting with some red spiked gloves, what was that about?

B: was actually a cosplay movie prop that was made by one of our prop makers. I will be releasing a photo/video of how it works. It simply functions as a pair of spiked gloves. I brought it with me to show my dear friends.

R: Who was that lady in the CCTV? Was she a GF or any romantic interest to you?

B: She is no GF nor romantic partner of mine. She is more of a platonic friend that is great at her field in medicine. She was also one of the first for internships.

R: Will you be stopping your music career or will you be focusing more on your company?

B: I decided in my mid thirties, that I am way past my prime as a rockstar and musician. Now that I am at my age, I believe I should use my wealth to help with human conditions. I will not be stopping my music career but will be more of a side project. I will be focusing on more. 

B: I will not be answering any more questions as I must leave now.

Upon the sentence being said, the crowd gets rowdy again as Batimir proceeds to enter the car and leave.

Full Interview with Boise’s Superman, Leaked

(The following is a video taken on the camera of a smartphone outside of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. The video shows Mark Colins, in an interview with a reporter.)

R: "Will you protect people from other monsters Mark?!"

M: "I just want to do good, wherever I am. If there was a monster wrecking havok, putting people in danger like that kraken was, I'll do my best to rectify the situation and bring justice." He thumbs up to the reporter's camera.

M: "I'm *not* here to replace the police or the military- Only to help when and where I can. Just one hero of many." He smiles at the camera again, leaning in and down to let a kid next to him get a selfie.

R: "Will you work with the police or military? Or will you work alone?"

M: He thinks a moment, scratching his chin. "I'm not against the idea of working with people who need my help, and I intend to help them as much as I would anyone else- but I do not intent to be fighting for the loyalties of any specific organizations or colors on a geographic map, any more than I'd be willing to be hired as a bodyguard- I'm simply hoping to help people who need help- whatever the case may be."

R: "Do you have an friends you work with?"

M: He looks at the camera seriously a moment. "Not yet, but I'm not against the idea. I won't be doing interviews or anything, but- I'll have my eye out for others who want to make a difference. As far as current associates, not really."

R: "Did Bu Fang help you in defeating the kraken?"

M: "Certainly! He kept us all well-nourished with his hasselback taro roots and provided ample emotional support. He's a good man. Impressed me with what he could do with a dug up root and handful of edible grass." He smiles.

R: "Can you confirm or deny the rumor that he has supernatural abilities?"

M: "He's fast-handed for sure, and cooks like a machine- but what is 'supernatural' really? My doc says I'm a man with a disease. He's a Van Gogh  of cooking, for sure."

R: "What disease did your doctor say you had." The reporters voice sounds worried for Mark.

M: "A new form of gigantism, basically. At the very least, I intend to make the best of a bad situation."

*The crowd audibly swoons over the dramatic reveal, along with the cameraperson with the phone.*

R: "Are you going to be okay Mark? Do you know if it has any complications?"

M: "Not yet. I just take things day by day, like everyone else."

R: "Do you have anything you want to say to the other people out there who struggle with disease?"

M: "Follow your own path, and be mindful of your own capabilities and limits. Just because your sick, is no reason to let yourself be written off. No good deed is less or greater than any other, as long as you do your best. we can *all* make a difference in our own way. Everyone's got villians they have to face, even if they're not as cool or flashy as mine."

*The interview finishes and the reporter's camera shuts off, but the leaked video goes on to show Mark pulling the reporter to the side, and exchanging contact information as Colins mutters about a "bat signal" before it cuts off.*

Breaking News! Strange Secret Basement found in old lady's home in Phoenix, Arizona!

In the city of Phoenix, Arizona, an old lady that goes by the name of Jasmine Miller was discovered harboring a secret basement beneath her wine cellar. She is the former Co-Creator of JJ & Co., a local wine company that was purchased thirteen years ago by an unknown buyer. Various strange materials and ingredients were found in this basement, including many eyes, scales, preserved hands, and other unidentifiable substances and objects.

850 NEWS LIVE from the city of Pensacola, Forida.

--850-NEWS-850-NEWS-850-NEWS-850-NEWS-850-NEWS-850-NEWS-850-NEWS--

A young woman in a slick grey suit stands in front of the camera, her expression is a mix of concern and pity, she appears to be standing in a weather broadcast room though at her back is a gruesome sight – a seemingly disabled man in a wheelchair, his legs covered by a thick wool blanked which is stained in a dark red substance, an enormous gash open in his chest – four deep, fresh and still bleeding gashes spanning from the man’s collarbone to his lower ribcage, the wound is not unlike something one would sustain from surviving a bear mauling. 

By his side an athletic twenty something kid in a dark red bomber jacket. 

The woman speaks, her voice soft, calm, collected 
 

"850 NEWS, Alice Williams - In studio with us today are two witnesses alleged abuse, violation of human rights and illegal cartel dealings, talking about their harrowing experiences - they are wounded bleeding but unbroken, here to share with us for the first time on 850 NEWS” 

The woman backs away from the camera, approaching the man in the wheelchair and extends the microphone towards him without another word 

Despite the man being severely injured and obviously exhausted he speaks firmly, with all the conviction of an experienced orator, each word appearing heartfelt and genuine.

The speech is about Caucasian male in their sixties with white hair and a beard who allegedly goes by “Jules” and the people under their command, some reportedly willing and others forced into servitude under duress. 

“Jules” is said to have dragged the speaker and countless others into this reality from a parallel one against their will, the speaker is said to have been kept in a “cage” like a wild animal to guard a “hoard of treasure” for two months before making his daring escape from the mansion at Devil’s Point – a location where “Jules” commits art fraud and coerces other "monsters" into working with them all with the backing of multiple criminal organization all of which they are allegedly double crossing. 

“Jules” is said to be a supernatural being able to alter their appearance at will, choosing at one point to appear as a woman for an extended period of time. 

The reporter shifts her attention to the younger man present in the studio 

 
“Would you like to share your side of the story or perhaps affirm any of the points that have been made thus far?” 

 
The young man steps up to the microphone, rolling his shoulders before speaking – his voice deep, his conduct slightly nervous be it out of fear, excitement or something else entirely is impossible to say. 
 

“Yeah uh, this guy tried assaulting me and some of my friends, he had his gang of two goons together with him, they put their hands on us and we had to defend ourselves, it was scary man, I have a picture as proof.” 

The young man is ushered towards the camera where he produces a picture matching the description of “Jules” from earlier with a young, short woman standing by his side, seemingly exchanging words. 

The interviewer shifts her attention back to the man in the wheelchair who proceeds to give the descriptions of two more individuals, the first one matches the woman from the picture 

She is said to be an android who goes by Mary Alice and is said to possess supernatural healing abilities, able to cure the most severe of wounds and ailments with a mere touch, though Jules is allegedly keeping her “all to himself” 

The speaker also describes a middle-aged Asian male who goes by “Bu Fang” and is alleged to be able to create exquisite magically imbued dishes. 

The man finishes his thought, takes a beat to breathe in then continues in a solemn tone 

 
“As a warning to anyone else who might not be what they appear, Jules changes people, breaks them and makes them into monsters, he enslaves us, treats us like animals - he did this to me"  

The speaker breaths out once again, yanking his wool blanket away to reveal a snake tail starting at his hips and snaking all the way up wrapping around his own torso. 

The tail uncoils and gently lowers itself onto the ground, it’s tip swaying passivley like that of a rattlesnake.
The young man recoils back shuffling out of the view of the camera, followed by a surprised shout" 
 

“WOAH WHAT THE FUCK DUDE” 

The reporter looks momentarily stunned, almost at a loss for words when the thing in the wheelchair continues. 
 

 "I would like to end my statement with this - Monsters lives matter just like any other type of human - we're still human on the inside, i just hope that this world can understand that a monster is only a monster if they act like one, and some of us just wanna be safe so uh you know, monsters lives matter, right Kyle?"  
 

The speaker looks away from the camera for the first time, looking somewhere behind it.
From behind the camera, slightly off to the right a voice resounds, apprehensive, and muffled . 
 

"Uh yeah sure dude" 
 

 The speaker smiles warmly.

"Thanks Kyle"

https://www.reptilianthreatnow.org

THE REPTILOIDS ARE HERE!

The site presents a dark red heading on a solid black background, a single audio file is attached followed shortly below by a video file.

FOR YEARS NOW I HAVE PREACHED! I'D SCREAM MYSELF HOARSE FOR YOUR SAKE, ALL OF YOUR SAKE BROTHERS AND SISTERS, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!

The voice is that of an older man, hoarse and gravely, clearly unhinged though he speaks with the fiery reverence of a pastor preaching to their flock.

"They walk among us brothers and sisters, disguised as normal everyday people! Firefighters, police officers, private eyes..."

The man lingers on the last part, practically hissing it out not unlike a reptile himself.

"...anyone one of the people you know and cherish might just be a cold blooded freak, harboring countless scales under their fleshy exterior, and they dream of getting you the second you give them a chance, the second you blink or drop your guard, stay vigilant humanity, stay ready!"

But nobody believed me, NOBODY LISTENED, "Oh poor ol' Pete, he's harmless just not all there, don't mind him" THEY WOULD REPEAT AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF... MANTRA, THEY WOULD REPEAT IT WITH RELIGIOUS DOGMATISM OVER AND OVER EVERY TIME THEY PASSED BY ME TRYING TO SPREAD TRUTH TO YOU SHEEP!

WELL I KNOW WHY NOW, I WAS ALWAYS RIGHT, THOSE SLIMY LIZARD BRAIN MOTHERFUCKERS THOUGHT THEY COULD BREAK ME, MAKE ME DOUBT MYSELF, WHITTLE ME DOWN WITH THEIR UNENDING MOCKERY, BUT LOOK WHO'S LAUGHING NOW!

...not all there... not all there... not all there...

The man mutters under his breath, repeating it over and over again sounding almost hurt.

BUT GUESS WHO'S NOT ALL THERE NOW YOU SCALY FUCKS?! I HAVE PROOF RIGHT HERE RIGHT HERE RIGHT HERE RIGHT HERE I HAVE IT MY HANDS AND I WILL EXPOSE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, THE WORLD WILL KNOW, ANYONE WHO'S WILLING TO OPEN THEIR EYES AND JUST LOOK WILL SEE THE TRUTH AS I DELIVER IT TO THEM!

His tone suddenly turns warm and remorseful.

But for those who don't... oh you poor sods i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry sorry... it might just be too late to save you... the brain wave redactors have gotten to you, melted your gray matter while you slept yes they did... you didn't heed old Pete when he told you that tin foil blocks their primitive tech, but you laughed at him and pointed fingers, mocked him yes you did... But I forgive you for I love you, may god have mercy on your souls.

The low quality video below depicts a chaotic scene unraveling in what looks to be a bar of some kind, the cameraman's hands are shaking violently as he gibbers something incomprehensive from behind the camera in an equally terrified and excited tone, this appears to be the same man from the audio file above.

The video appears to be shot from the corner of the room, encompassing the entirety of the scene with ease due to the cameraman's placement

An altercation appears to be taking place by the entrance, a mousy and lanky man wearing a black jacket is backpedaling towards the exit, very apparently ready to draw his sidearm whilst locked in what appears to be a verbal confrontation with a one armed man in a trench coat, all the while the bartender shoulders a double barrel shotgun, confusedly looking between the two.

As the three exchange words the situation seems to be slowly deescalating though the exact nature of what's being said is largely unintelligible due to a horrendous racket - the sounds of someone obnoxiously revving a vehicle of some kind just outside while "Proud to be an American" plays, loud enough to vibrate the windows of the bar, accompanied by less than pleasant off pitch yelling of the lyrics.

As the man in the black jacket nears the exit another aggressor enters the scene, a large tattooed dark skinned man easily recognizable as Icarus Lockheart, a famous actor.

Icarus places the retreating man in a choke hold without any visible physical provocation from the side of the latter, followed by a subdued gunshot and a muzzle flash right by the man's ear.

The man in the black jacket proceeds to slip out of Icaruse's grip and drawing his sidearm at lightning speed places it up against his assailant's gut and lets off four muffled shots, followed by a spray of blood across the room.

Chaos and pandemonium erutps shortly after, people start screaming and flipping over tables, some drawing sidearms of their own.

Before the man in the black jacket can do anything else the one armed man wearing a trench coat dashes past him towards the exit, though as he pushes past his eyes flash briefly and an arch of lightning shoots out of his forehead, frying the man in the black coat, locking his muscles and sending him clattering to the ground as he convulses.

Another man wearing a Kevlar vest enters the scene yelling about needing to help the poor sod on the ground and drags the paralyzed man away.

The cameraman continues filming, and just before the group makes their exit the trench coat man shoots the camera one hard gaze before disappearing outside.

Mark Collins Seriously Injured Rescuing Island from Kraken!

Mark Collins, recently-confirmed superhuman who has been missing for the past 5 months, has been found on an isolated, previously-undiscovered island off the pacific coast. He, along with 163 islanders and chinese chef Bu Fang, have been rescued from the island.

The islanders credit Mark Collins and Bu Fang with rescuing them from a monstrous "kraken" that had been holding the island hostage for some time. During the fight, Mark Collins allegedly wielded a giant metal fishook that he had created from an ancient shipwreck. Also, according to eyewitnesses, Bu Fang demonstrated superhuman abilities, although he denies these claims. 

"The islanders must be confused," says Bu. "I just threw a flare into the water. Mark did everything. I just watched." 

Due to the lack of video cameras, none of these claims can be truly confirmed. However, eyewitness accounts all agree that Mark demonstrated superhuman strength in destroying the monster. Pieces of a large, unidentified squid-like creature were recorvered near the island. 

Boise's Superman Mark Collins is recovering in a hospital in Dallas, Texas. Meanwhile, media around the world has picked up this story, and a hoard of people are gathering outside the hospital for a chance to meet a real-life superhero. 

After becoming a media sensation for rescuing a bachlorette party from certain death by dragging their limo away from a ledge, Mark Collins completely disappeared. About half of media-aware humans have now heard of Mark Collins and many know his face. 

Mark Collins: Boise's Very own Superman?

At least seven seperate videos of Boise Idaho construction worker Mark Collins have been going viral on social media. These videos-- which were posted to CryptoLeak-- show Mark Collins rescuing a bachlorette party from certain death by dragging their limousine away from a cliff. 

Given the number of eye witnesses, various camera angles, and paper trail evidence, Scientists, debunkers, and the general public generally agree that this is a confirmed Illumination: Mark Collins possesses superhuman strength. 

Immediately after the event, Mark Collins disappeared and has not been seen since. He has stopped showing up for work and paying rent, and there have been no credible, confirmed sightings of him since (though many unconfirmed sightings have been made). And of course a government investigation, as well as many private investigations, have been launched to locate Mark, as well as to explain his incredible powers. 

T-shirts and merchandise for "Boise's Superman," Mark Collins have been selling like hotcakes, and Boise Mayor Linda Mackentire has proposed erecting a statue in his honor. "Mark Collins will always have a home in Boise," she recently said in a statement.

Adolescent Sasquatch Steals ATV from Gas Station

A recent viral YouTube video shows a fuzzy humanoid creature jumping on a ATV parked at a gas station and driving off before the ATV's owner could stop them.

Archbishop Vasquez of San Francisco nominates Sister Mary Catherine to Sainthood

Flying in the face of tradition, Archibishop Vasquez has defied the typical five-year posthumous waiting period and nominated recently-deceased Sister Mary Catherine for sainthood. 

Sister Mary Catherine was recently found dead inside an abandoned pet store, her body partially consumed by what officials suspect were rabid animals. 

Archbishop Vasquez has posted several videos of Sister Mary Cathering performing healing miracles to CryptoLeak. In the videos, she can be seen experiencing stigmata and performing a laying of hands that is credited with curing chronic illnesses such as cancer. These cases were documented, and doctors have confirmed that their patients seem to have been cured, although no scientists witnessed these miracles. 

A massive populist following has formed for Sister Mary Catherine, especially in the Catholic communities worldwide. Her canonicalization seems very likely.

Famous Actor Disappears

Famous Actor Micheal D'onovitchison, Star of the cult hit movie franchise Man Crunch, has gone missing after a visit to Brazil in preparation for what is reported to be a new installment in the beloved cult classic series. Last seen at the Cuiaba International Airport, D'onovitchison disappeared after climbing into a car with three unidentified individuals, which is believed to have been driven into the Amazon Rainforest. Police refuse to comment on whether the much loved Celebrity's disappearance is related to a string of missing individuals in the area, though the authorities have reassured the public that everything possible is being done to find the Actor and bring him home.

Breaking News at the Tuscaloosa County Courthouse

    James Barton, 36, has been arrested, charged with multiple counts of murder, mutilation of a corpse, burglary, and trespassing, after a citizen's arrest and his trial is underway. His family has detained Alan Dershowitz as counsel. Dershowitz is known for taking on high-profile and often unpopular cases and clients, and has won 19 of the 21 murder and attempted murder cases he has taken on as a criminal appellate lawyer.

    Police believe Barton picked victims at random, waiting till an opportune moment to approach and murder the victims scattered around the state. Victims have been identified as Micheal Stepinac (33, Woodstock) Hailey Jeffries (22, Tuscaloosa), Derek Smythe (48, Hitop) , Aaron Abbot (29, Birmingham), Elizabeth Evans (19, Anniston), Grace Marie Elois (27, Huntsville), Marie Sheilhamer, (16, Mobile) and Edward Pyle (71, Northport)

    The defense seems two-fold, focusing on James Barton's rapidly deteriorating  mental state from a head injury during a violent mugging 3 years ago, and sowing doubt on credibility of evidence submitted by casting doubt on the citizens performing said arrest- enhanced greatly when Barton's foreman and other witnesses of the arrestat JD Lumber  testified the arresting citizens used multiple Unnatural Abilities during the apprehension.
We go now to our reporter at the courthouse, where the police and counsel are about to hold a press release.

(Camera shows a crowd of people at the courthouse- a small podium surrounded with mics, and a crowd of reporters. Further back, police hold back the public- some of which hold signs that say "FREE JAMES" and "CLEANSE ALABAMA OF WITCHCRAFT" and "UNNATURAL OPPRESSES THE NATURAL", and there is also a counter protest, an unidentified organization in camo and masks, seemingly in favor of the citizens arrest.)

A suited representative of the ABI steps up to the mic,"Let me take this moment to thank our officers, citizens, and Dr Keller at the medical examiners office for their faith and determination in helping solve this case. This isn't likely to be a quick trial, though we are faithful justice will be delivered swiftly. Due to the excessive brutality of this case, the DA's office is seeking 9 consecutive life sentences. Thanks to the quick work of our staffed psychologist, Barton has calmed down a bit and seems cooperative thanks to medication- we were able to remove his muzzle in order to let him testify in his own behalf."

A reporter yells out "What do you know about that name 'Azaghel' he was screaming about the first day?" 

"We have no reason to believe 'Azaghel' is a genuine threat at this time. Morton was likely just a very sick man, but justice must be served. Any other questions?"

    Over the yelling reporters, 4 gunshots ring out from the direction of the courthouse.and the crowd immediately reacts, most running away but a few running towards it with cameras. The camera view slumps to the ground as the cameraman flees, and the live feed is cut, now showing the studio again, the news announcer's shocked faces."We seem to be having an actively developing situation." the woman says, a visible look of shock on her face.

She holds her earpiece in her ear, clearly listening before saying, stunned-"James Barton has been shot in the courthouse in cold blood. The killer was cooperative, immediately dropping his weapon. It seems he grabbed the bailiff's gun, and fired off four shots, all four hitting Barton- 3 in the torso and one in the head. I repeat, James Barton is dead." She grows silent, listening, before adding: "The shooter self-identified as Hank Jeffries on the scene. Witnesses claim he proudly announced 'This is for Hailey, you sick f'(a beeping censor cuts off the end of the word) as he pulled the trigger four times,followed by immediately dropping his weapon and putting his hands behind his head."She looks at her cards, before smiling cheerfully. "Thats all the time we have for today, Tune in at 9 for more updates on this developing story."

Manhunt Continues for Conner Inkz; Artist Suspected In Brutal Killings, Kidnappings, and Arson

A nationwide manhunt is underway for the famous tattoo artist Conner Inkz, according to the FBI, as well as for Lily Foreman, his girlfriend and known accomplice.

Mr. Inkz is the primary suspect in a series of brutal killings which occured in Burley, Idaho just last week, as well as in the kidnapping of two girls who lived there.  According to the Burley Police Department, Mr. Inkz is responsible for inciting a riot during which he killed several people including three police officers, and set the county courthouse ablaze.  He later killed a police officer and two prison guards while escaping custody.

"His guilt is clear," said police spokesperson Dana Moorehouse during a press conference shortly after the killings. "There are multiple witnesses to the riot and footage of the prison break.  We are confident in a conviction if we are able to ascertain his location."

Police refused to release the video evidence, but anonymous hackers had posted it publicly on YouTube, and though it was eventually taken down, by then it had been copied and widely circulated.  The footage shows Mr. Inkz and Ms. Foreman being escorted into a cell block before turning the tables on the guard and officer, brutally beating them to death.

"It is unclear what involvement Ms. Foreman had in the riot incidents, but she is plainly responsible for the death of the prison guard, and is known to be romantically involved with Mr. Inkz as well." said Morehouse. "They are both known to be incredibly dangerous individuals, and should not be approached by civilians."

The FBI got involved on Friday, placing Inkz and Foreman on their well-known list of Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, and setting up a special hotline for tips.  They have promised a $50,000 reward for any information which leads to the arrest of Mr. Inkz.

According to FBI spokesperson Linsday Gold, "If you see something, say something.  Mr. Inkz and Ms. Foreman are highly dangerous and on the run, and it is imperative that we are able to catch up to them.  Do not hesitate to contact local law enforcement as well as reach out to our tip line as soon as possible if you have any indication of their whereabouts."

Local police have also circulated descriptions of the two missing women, Abby Hobbes and Dorothy Childs. "We believe that the two women are victims of kidnapping and are likely to be in the custody of Mr. Inkz at this time."  Moorehouse said that they were last seen being carried away from the riot by Inkz, and have not been seen or heard from since.

Emperor Norton II Delivers Glowing Boba Endorsement

"Emperor" Norton II drew a crowd outside of  San Francisco boba tea shop Bobasaurus tonight. His speech is partially recorded and has been widely shared.

A cell phone video of a man in flamboyant imperial attire addresses a crowd outside of Bobasaurus:

"So do we declare that in perpetuity that this Boba Cafe is, as of today, the true & recognized Imperial Boba Cafe of the City of San Francisco. To the seventh generation, so to that this Boba Cafe will pass to it's relatives until that glorious day, serving all the citizens of the City & the Imperial States of the Union..."

Bobasaurus itself is enjoying a healthy boom in business, though its signature tapioca pearls have run out for the time being.

In other news, San Franciscans are shocked by footage of a high speed chase through Russian Hill last night...

OOC Announcement

Hello residents of Illumination, this is just an OOC announcement to adress a few points concerning the illumination that I dont think have been getting across through the fault of the people managing the cell.
      First of all although supernatural happenings occur in the illumination the general public still is adjusting to it, witches are not just hanging out in bars and werewolves aren't driving cabs about in London. Therefore it is reasonable to assume most first time contractors may be taken aback by supernatural, and most NPC's likely should be as well.
      Second thing I would like to go over is some of the major influentail effects the Nagasaki event had over the world just to get things clear. Main point being the massive movement of xenophobic and anti-supernatural behavior the world is engaging in. The majority of the human population have negative attitude towards supernatural and generally will stay away and potentially show violence towards obviously supernatural contrators and the likes. One of the collosal results of this which should always be roleplayed in when it comes up is the outlawing of supernatural beings and objects within the country of Japan, the people of Japan didnt respond to kindly to the cultish massacre and the use of "magic" was outlawed
      Thanks for the understanding and Apologies things got a little confusing, I hope this clears up some of the main problems and idea that needed to be communicated.

Horrific Pirate Attack near Puerto Rico

Dozens of pirates apparently descended upon the island looking for two individuals one who eden claims is his twin another he very clearly names as Damien Lee and even provides Damiens Cell phone number. The group has sworn to continue to assault local areas until these two are delivered to him. Local law enforcement went out to the boat to attempt to negotiate with the pirates however now it is reported that they are also calling for the arrest and extradition of Edens twin and this Damien Lee. If you have any information there is a 5 million dollar reward for any information that directly leads to the arrest of these two individuals by the local government.

Nagasaki Massacare!

Yesterday At around midnight the City of Nagasaki was awoken to quite the scare. An enormous number of people, estimated at around 30k-40k began massacring the city, using lethel force such as firearms where they could be found, but also improvised weapons senselessly killing residents of the city. People would also be ceromoniously burned while the killers chanted about a being known as Adora. Experts have deemed the killers as a fanatical religeous group or "Cult" and the event a mass sacrifice to their assumed diety Adora. The massacre claimed around 350k lives. U.S. Forces in military bases around Nagasaki mobilized as the event began but simply couldnt respond to the efficiency and brutality of the group who dispersed very quickly before the military could effectivly respond. Many Xenophobic and anti-occult Rallys and protests around the world in response to the event putting pressure on governments around the world to clamp down on supernatural activity related to the illumination. 

(On an OOC note please diregard the last posted Nagasaki event)

Gang Members get in Shootout with Firefighters

The White Scarf's hideout, an apartment building in the middle of San Jose, was set on fire by a currently unfound arsonist, right next to an investigation for a hit and run. When Firefighters arrived at the scene, the gang opened fire on the firefighters and the cops. All of the gang members burned in the building, 5 police officers and 3 fire fighters died as a result of the shootout.

This lead police to connect the Hit and Run and Arson with the alarm at Platinum Bank next door, where it was revealed to the public that former CEO Rupert Carlson had a secret room with an exit leading to the sewers, and lead straight into the vault. The secret room had some form of item, but whatever it was, it was stolen in the chaos. Two cops witnessed a man running from the scene, but they said that the man tripped then exploded. Examination of the body shows that the man had attached C4 to his chest, and immediately exploded when he inadvertently turned it on. Nobody knows the man's motivations, or what he stole, but we will never find out.

The Blackwater massacre.

This is L0B0, and welcome to Glepnir Broken

Today's flavor of doxx is the identities of The Scarlet Claws, a mercenary group that is armed to hell and back, Ultor. Co, a corrupt company that hired them to kill union members of a small town "Blackwater" in Texas for profit, and William Murdoch, a Drug Addicted Madman with superhuman capabilities who shot up the town in a drug induced rage.

Suspected Plane Hijacker Killed in Court

This is a CNN special report. 

Earlier today, suspected plane hijacker Amaryllis (Amy) Fleischer attempted to escape during a court hearing. She was shot and pronounced dead on scene. Be warned: the following video contains graphic content. 

The video shows Amy in some sort of courtroom, dressed in orange, eyeliner streaked from crying. The Judge bangs her gravel, and a pair of corrections officers come to take her away. Just as they grab a hold of her, a spike of blood shoots from Amy's wrist through an officer's chest. First one, then the other. Someone screams. Amy sends a third spike through the handcuffs securing her hands and feet, then makes a break for it. She makes it halfway to the door before a rattling of gunfire rings out and she collapses. Several officers surround her prone body, pointing guns. A pool of blood forms underneath her, quickly growing and flowing down the aisle.

A harrowing closure to the terrifying ordeal of the passengers aboard hijacked flight UA1670.

Plane Hijacked

Earlier today, flight UA1670 was hijacked by a black-haired witch. Viral footage shows suspect Amaryllis Fleischer using some sort of blood magic weapon to injure an Air Marshal and assault a good Samaritan monster hunter. The monster hunter died at the scene and was the only fatality of the incident. All other passengers are now recovered and free.

Eyewitness reports indicate that that she was attempting to protect a monstrous dog. No such dog appears in the footage. However, many individuals are seen interacting with and reacting to the “dog,” leading experts to believe that it was either an illusion or simply does not appear in recorded footage as a result of its supernatural origin. 

The suspected hijackers: Amy Fleischer and a man known only as “Walter” were arrested when the plane landed and are currently being held in a Honolulu prison.

Double Trouble: Passengers of Hijacked Plane Duplicates?

Reports are emerging that all passengers of the hijacked plane are already people that exist. The "original" passengers are all safe at their homes and had all considered going to Hawaii but made other plans for one reason or another. None of the duplicates are being held or charged with any crime. 

"It's really weird to meet yourself," says Sally Emerson, a passnger. "We're trying to figure out where to go from here." 

No one is sure why or how this has happened, but considering the recent crashed plane, it appears something very strange is going on with flight UA1670. United Airlines has stated that they are cancelling the route out of an excess of caution. 

The Loch Ness Monster Captured!

Breaking News: Loch Ness Monster Captured and Contained

On August 15 a Pliosaur or better known the Loch Ness monster was captured by a local Group of Scottish scientists after using sonar technology to track down and then contain it in a smaller more manageable enclosure. The Creature Clocked in at around 20 meters and 103,700 pounds, extremely large compared to its prehistoric ancestors.

At the current moment it is unknown how the Dinosaur survived to the current day or if there are more. Confirmation on Disappearances of people due to the Dinosaur have been found after an endoscopy on its digestive tract, discovering human remains, as well as much local aquatic life found in Loch Ness although few and erratic still occuring at least annually, mainly during the winter when food is assumedly lacking

The Head researcher, Travis Thomson, recently sold the Dinosaur to the Georgia aquarium in the US ,where they plan on creating an exhibit for it, to continue the funding of research of this prehistoric creature, and where it came from hoping to uncover the mysteries from the depths.

BREAKING: Doubts raised over the fate of those in the Hawaii crash

This is a KITV breaking report.  PLEASE DISREGARD EARLIER REPORTS OF DOWNED AIRPLANE. 

Earlier today, a KITV report aired announcing the crash of United airlines flight UA1670. However, KITV never issued this report, and the author named in the byline has confirmed that they did not write it. 

That said, our on-the-scene reporters have confirmed the appearance of a crashed plane consistent on the northern coast of Oahu that appears consistent with the original report. The carnage of the wreckage indicates that several hundred passengers did indeed perish in the crash. However, many of those named in the original report have reached out to KITV to confirm that they are not, in fact, dead. United Airlines has issued a statement asserting that all of their flights are present and accounted for. 

The orgin of the erroneous news report, the airplane, and the unfortunate passengers aboard remains a mystery.

Before the United States government secured the scene of the crash, a first responder claims he was able to personally identify at least one of the bodies in the wreckage. "It was my sister, Emily! She's family, dammit. I'd recognize her face anywhere. It was her. But Emily is still alive. As soon as she saw the report, she called me, and we're together now. I don't know what happened. . . I'm still in shock. None of this feels real to me." 

The US Government is reaching out to those reported killed and scheduling interviews for more information. If you or a loved one was named in the original report, please call the number on your screen. 

United Airlines flight crashes in Hawaii. All passengers killed.

This is a KITV breaking report. 

We have just received reports that United Airlines flight UA1670 from San Francisco has crashed in Ahupuaʻa ʻO Kahana State Park Oahu, Hawaii. At this time, the cause of the crash is unknown. First responders have confirmed our worst fears: none of the 325 passengers aboard survived.
