Heresy:
Mission Statement Sent - Requesting units to partake in operation.
Calvary:
Received - State the nature of the threat.
Heresy:
Acknowledged - The creature is a haunted furniture complex (Ikea) that mysteriously materialised at 9:12pm, 4th of July 2017 in the town of Sjöberg, Västerbotten County, Sweden. The complex landed on a few residential houses, unknown if anyone survived the teleportation. Some of the local residents came to investigate the creature by heading inside, none have returned. Disposal Unit 882 and 405 have responded and have locked the town down to prevent the spread of information. Cover Up protocols engaged.
Heresy:
Mission Update - Unit 405 has entered the building to determine the nature of the threat. We have lost contact with Unit 405 at 11:24pm, 4th of July 2017, and have determined the unit to be wiped out. The Obelus had made a successful pin, readings show that the creature had a similar magical makeup to that of the Black Cathedral, however, readings indicate that the creature is using the magical energies in the area to conjure a dangerous spell or creating horrifica (similar to that of the Maw).
Calvary:
Understood - From the report, we have determined the threat is sufficient enough to require the services of the Butterfly Legion. Will send the Incorruptibles to handle the threat immediately.
EyE:
Entering Chat - Order Diplomatics, Disciplinarian, Senior Agent Nathanael Gay.
EyE:
Scrubbing Protocols Activated - All redundant or unnecessary personal, please leave the premises and deactivate your communications link. Only senior officers will report this instant.
SA Gay:
The report of the creature appearing in Sweden today has made some people talking within the Order. I hope this situation is being handled well.
Calvary:
Senior Agent, we request that you use standard communication procedures.
SA Gay:
That won’t be necessary. My Order doesn’t follow your communication procedures, if we do, this would take all day and frankly we should not waste any time. The chat has been flagged as highly classified. Everything here will be scrubbed as soon as we finish. But I will expect the people of the Order Horrifica to follow their standard protocol. I don’t want to see high-ranking officials not following the example they set onto others.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
Calvary:
Understood - What brought the member of the Order Diplomatics to communicate with us?
SA Gay:
As soon as the creature had appeared on our senses, I knew the Order Horrifica would send in the Incorruptibles to deal with the threat. A good fit, seeing their track record in dealing with haunted and possessed buildings. However, I will order that Unit 247 to participate in the operation instead.
Heresy:
Denied - The demand is unnecessary. Unit 247 does not specialise in the threat at hand. I request we have the Incorruptibles participate as planned. Deviation would only cause further issues and might lead to death or the exposure of the monster to the world.
SA Gay:
This isn’t a suggestion. The Council had deemed Unit 247 and the leading operator to be terminated. I think we all know of the reptile and his reputation. He is a useful tool, but I don’t expect him to survive.
Heresy:
Denied - If operator is to be terminated, standard execution procedures should be followed.
SA Gay:
Not when it comes to him. They are dangerous, and I want to ensure that we have some air of deniability in case he survived. So, we have to send him to deal with the threat.
Calvary:
Acknowledged - What is the procedure if the operator survived?
SA Gay:
Then he is far more resilient than I and anyone have thought. If he survived, or better, succeeded in his mission in defeating the monster. Then we might have more use for him. Don’t worry, I will resources so you can set up tracking devices on the creature the next time it pops up. This is now a termination mission of a problematic member of the Order more than a kill order of your usual monster.
Heresy:
Understood - We will forward the mission to Unit 247 and have them immediately arrive on scene. The mission will begin on the 4th of July, 2017.
SA Gay:
Good to hear. Tell me the results of the mission once it is done. If the reptile doesn’t return in three hours, I will send in the Incorruptibles personally as well as additional staff and resources to deal with the threat. You have my word.
Calvary:
Understood - Will begin operations.
Calvary:
Closing Log - Signing off, Keepers of the Dark.
