Apoctober Day 1: Algae
Lore:
Lance’s Personal Journal:
Something… strange happened at school today. Well, stranger than usual anyway. Some of the other students and staff completely lost it and started attacking others indiscriminately. It was like they had a sudden thirst for blood…
I don’t know why or how, but the rest of the student body followed a downward spiral. There were only a few of us who made it through to the end without being affected.
That weird exorcist–you know, the one I ran into the other day and got me roped into an exorcism? Well, he showed up. Said it was my “potential’ or something that prevented me from being infected. I didn’t really get it, but I assume it had something to do with the demons that have recently been sighted around the school.
Anyways, he went down into the basement and was gone awhile. By the time he came out, everyone had returned to normal. He didn’t say a word as he left, but he was carrying something wrapped in an old cloth. It really isn’t any of my business, but if I’m going to keep getting mixed up in this, then I should at least know what’s going on.
Aeterna Official Report:
Date: *redacted*
Time: *redacted*
Operative: SU-0763
Mission Status: Complete
Oddly, the demon responsible for the mass hysteria incident at *redacted* junior high was a relatively weak specimen. I discovered it in the basement, where the conditions were perfectly ripe for a small algal bloom. The algae recovered is a particular breed that is relatively harmless under normal conditions. In this case, however, the demon tampered with the algae to produce an airborne toxin that interferes with the senses. It planned, no doubt, to feed on the negative feelings produced by the toxins.
I retrieved the skull with little difficulty, and it is now stored within the proper containment at HQ. I have no doubt it was purposefully planted at the school. Further investigation will be required.
On another note: *redacted* was among the unaffected students. It would be best to keep an eye on that one. I have no doubt he’ll prove useful to us in the future.
