Day 15 of observation
O - Damn administration, sendin us on a goddamn sasquatch hunt in this middle of fucking nowhere frozen hellhole. It’s been two frickin weeks now, I’m freezing my balls off here
M - Calm down Oaks, we’re on a simple recon mission, all we have to do is confirm the presence of a abnormal entity and then let the extraction team take care of it. And stop with the damn sasquatch thing already, there is a difference between a sasquatch and a troll, besides whatever this is, it might not be either.
O - Yea, yea, whatever. Point still stands, we’ve been out here for two weeks and there is no sign of this supposed monster. I’m telling ya, the higher ups are just playing games with us. Remember what that one guy told us back at base, we’re disposables, fucking red-shirts man. They wouldn’t care if we froze to death here, monster or not.
M - That prick was just trying to scare you. Do you seriously think they would simply throw personnel away like that, sure we’re convicted criminals but still, I mean that would just be pointless waste of resources.
O – Eeh, guess you’re right, that would be pretty stupid. Well crap.
M – What now?
O – Video feed on camera 2 seems to be breaking off. Screw that, it’s too fucking cold to go outside now, I’ll fix it tomorrow.
M – Put some extra cameras up too, just in case.
Day 16 of observation - Contact
O – Right, should be fixed now. Is the video feed back up?
M – Yes, coming through clearly
O – Looks like the transmitter was lightly roughed up. Along with some of the tree bark, looks like claw marks.
M – No monster huh?
O – Could be a bear, saw one last Tuesday. Anyway, heading back to the tower.
M – Oh hey, hold that thought, could you bring some liquor from the village while you’re out there
O – Hey Marlow
M – Yeah?
O – You know what bear tracks look like?
M – Ain’t got a clue. Why you ask?
O – Saw some big tracks going past camera 4 while coming back.
---------------
M – Hey, you’re the tech expert here. Is this thing broken?
O – Shouldn’t be.
M – Then that is one serious case of monster eyes down there.
O – Gimme those. Eeh, you’re fulla shit, I think you’ve had one drink too many.
M – Hold on, did you install the extra cameras like I asked? *acknowledging hand wave* You sure they were fuctional?
O – Alright Marlow, that’s enough, no more booze for you.
M – Damnit Oaks! I’m being serious. If you put both cameras 5 and 6 up, then why the fuck are we not receiving nr5?
O –Get back on the digital binocs, just in case. And seriously, no more booze. Damn bears, like this shit isn’t difficult enough.
M – Oaks! They’re back. The monster eyes, they are fucking back! Twenty feet closer than last time.
O - *grabbing second set of binocs* Ok, this is getting weird. As soon as I get there, you switch to the monitors. …Well fuck. That is one serious case of monster eyes … wait … where the hell did they go?
M – Camera 2 is down again. It’s not lookin good man. Aargh fuck, that was no fucking bear. *cam 3 goes silent* Eeeh … Oaks? … Where was camera 3 located? We definitely have some kind of freak down there, cause that was no bear.
O – Some 15 feet west, wh…wait, what did you just say? *rushing to the radio transmitter* HQ this is D-2501. We have confirmed the presence of a abnormal entity, requesting extraction team.
HQ – This is HQ, due to severe weather conditions we are unable to send an extraction team at this time. Weather is anticipated to calm in approximately 8 hours.
O – Whoa BULLSHIT sir!
HQ – Calm down. Can you describe the entity?
M – *grabbing the radio* C…Calm down? Describe? Yeah ok, I’ll describe it. It’s got freakish glowing eyes and giant fucking claws and it knows we’re here. Calm down? Quite frankly you can sit on it Sirr! *all communication ends abrubtly*
M – Well ain’t this nice. Guess that prick back at base was telling the truth after all
O – We’re dead.
M – Considering it was smart enough to eliminate the cameras and that it seems bipedal, I’d think it would be safe to assume it can climb up here.
And to think that I really hoped to get back to my family after all this crap.
O – A nice dream while it lasted. At least you had one.
Subject is apparently nocturnal in nature. Extraction team is to be sent in the morning to asses the situation and capture the subject. Should D-class personnel be still alive, orders are to terminate them. – Site overseer-

They all said I was too paranoid … proved them wrong, I guess. I always knew that there were weird and shady things going on but this … this topped all the conspiracy theories.
I was heading home from my midnight observation when saw it … that sickly blue flame, spreading like wildfire, engulfing everything in its path. After it had died out, I went closer and saw the real horror, it was like a abnormal bunsen burner … it consumed everything living with its cold flame, plants, animals, people, leaving behind mostly lifeless, withered husks.
I couldn’t stand it, I torched my house and ran.
Soon they came … I don’t know who they were but I am certain that they “do not exist”. I didn’t bother to stick around, no way in hell would they have let me live if they had found me.
I’ve been on the run for about two weeks or so, I know they’re after me … people like that don’t just leave things unaccounted for. I’m surprised that I’ve managed to give the slip for as long as I have. There has not been so much as a hint that anything had happened, apparently not even the conspiracy nuts had a clue. I don’t dare to start digging yet … I highly doubt that I would able to find anything anyway.
Ever since that day I’ve started to look around more carefully. I was looking at some maps today and noticed something odd … the town was moved, it is 6 kilometres east from where it is supposed to be and its name is slightly different, instead there is now a “military compound” there. How the hell can they get away with something that big … a chemical or a bio-hazard I can understand but replacing entire towns … that shit just isn’t possible, not these days.

Got a job and a new roof over my head under a assumed identity. It’s been rather quiet, haven’t heard about any inquiries regarding newcomers. Could it really be that they went for the fake body … no, that just doesn’t make sense … or maybe they can afford to ignore me. It’s driving me insane.
*having sat down on a barstool*
I would like to ord—
Man next to him - Mr. Sunter, I believe it is.
What did you call me?
The man - You are a very talented person Mr. Sunter, it took us quite a while to track you down.
*he frantically looks around, then says, with fear clearly present in his voice*
Oh God it’s you.
The man - I understand that this situation must be extremely stressful for you but try to stay calm, we would prefer not to use any force. Co-operate willingly and your future may yet be pleasant.
