A quick note to the security team: would you all mind coming to the office for a meeting? Now, more than ever, I feel we need to discuss and plan for what's going on.

[Never mind that Harpuia isn't even on the security staff and acting like he's in charge of the whole thing. Acting like he's in charge is kind of just what Harpuia does.]

Anyone who has any information that may be of use or feels they can be of service is welcome to attend, as well. We're in no position to turn down anything that could help us prepare for what's to come.


[Indeed, Harpuia is already waiting in the security office, looking over a map of the area he picked up from an FDC tourist center then immediately covered in notes and circles.]

That's sort of what I was thinking, too. What kind of ideas do you have?

[lovesthepain]

It's a slim hope at best, but I can't help but feel the strange masks we've collected off those monsters must be key somehow. On their own, they don't seem to react to the moon's proximity in any way, but...

[tempus_fixit]

They all came from monsters, though, right? Maybe it's the monsters we need to consider. Like... they came from the moon?

[Lucca. That sounds dumb.]

No, if that big mountain had fallen from up here, we'd know about it.

[lovesthepain]

It wasn't exactly a subtle presence, was it? Still... we can't discount the idea that the monsters themselves are a clue.

I only had the opportunity to scan two of the monsters, but their data does seem different from that of the masks. The creature in the catacombs appeared to be an ordinary mechaniloid, but the mask it left behind... whatever they're made of, it's nothing my systems can decipher.
