Black Cathedral: Chapter 1

Message between Omicron and Calvary recovered.

Dialogue restored…

Omicron:

Situation Update - We have detected unusual magical energies surging in Florida, United States of America. Further analysis confirms that the magic energies match that of the Black Cathedral.

Omicron:

Horrifica Encyclopedia - The Black Cathedral is a type of immortal haunted building. Its exact age is unknown, but we speculate it originated in the early 600s. The Black Cathedral takes on the appearance of a gothic European cathedral, its dimensions and iconography change depending on what the creature feels is beneficial when it goes out hunting. Creature lures its victims by appearing to be a safe communal area and consumes them once they enter the cathedral and fail to escape. It is known that the creature teleports all over the world to continue feeding on the populace. The creature is highly dangerous but isn’t considered a threat to humanity. Once defeated, the creature will teleport out of existence (though it is not confirmed if the creature is hiding or teleporting to a different realm) and return in 6 years, 6 months, and 6 days.

Calvary:

Acknowledged - The creature seemed to have teleported into the swamps of Florida. Any reason?

Omicron:

Unknown - We are unsure why the creature appeared at its current location. However, as it is away from civilian populations, we can use this to our advantage.

Omicron:

Theory - Current census suspects the creature is trying to hide or deliberately making their presence known. While this action contradicts our interactions with it in the past, we suspect the creature is plotting for something much bigger.

Calvary:

Agreed - Situation dictates we take immediate action. Due to the urgency of the threat at hand, I will grant additional resources to deal with the creature if it is teleported outside of Florida before our Operator(s) arrive on the scene.

Calvary:

Permission Granted - The Butterfly Legion has been authorised to investigate the area. Currently, the Black Lagoon Unit is occupied and cannot participate in the mission. Unit 247 will take the case instead.

Omicron:

Acknowledged - Operation will commence on the 8th of May, 2018.

Calvary:

Closing Log - Signing off, Keepers of the Dark.
