End of Sixth Night

The city awoke this morning to discover itself somewhat amputated. Eldritch Point, evacuated a day ago due to possible air poisoning, was the victim of large-scale riots. Four Cour d'Alene residents have been found dead, and three more are missing. Three of the bodies found belonged to CDA policemen. Officers McKinzey and Troy were assigned to watch over the neighborhood after the evacuations, supplied with gas masks. When they did not report in on time, another squad car was dispatched to find them and lend support if needed.

Officers McKinzey and Troy were both found at Harlequin Plaza, a small shopping corner in Eldritch Point. McKinzey had suffered lethal blows to the head, and Troy had been beaten to death and then thrown through a toystore window. The rioters who had murdered them had attempted to break into the specialty cutlery adjacent to Gilgamesh Toys, with only partial success. There is evidense that a shotgun was used, though no such injuries were found on either police officer..

Officer Holland and Smith never made it to Harlequin Plaza. Their vehicle was found on the North Side, having struck a lamppost. The exact specifics of how it happened are unknown, but investigators suspect a car chase leading to a fatal end. Officer Holland was discovered, though Officer Smith has yet to be recovered..

One other body was found, a homeless man crucified to a makeshift stake and completely exsanguinated. Most disturbing to police detectives is that there are no witnesses to these rioters, nor can the rioters be found at all. From the crucified corpse found, it is speculated that these are cultist rioters, probably connected to the religious movement theorizing that the newest star in the night's sky is a sign of the approaching End of the World.

   Investigators have not made a confirmed analysis whether the criminals who murdered these men and destroyed these buildings are connected to the previous incidences in the last week or two. Seven days ago, a mansion belonging to Lorenzo Giovanni, an alleged member of Spokane's so-called Italian Mafia, was destroyed by a oil-bearing semi-truck. Previous to that, the West Central docks of Couer d'Alene were detonated with several tanks of napalm from an unknown source..

   Eldritch Point did not become involved until two nights ago, when several individuals in motorcycles and trucks lay waste to the sleepy neighborhood, armed with grenades and illegal firearms. Police originally believed that the explosions caused during this attack had opened up old underground mines and let loose sulfurous gas. This gas, which can still be smelled as far as Eighth Avenue, is often found among a more toxic gaseous substance which initiated the evacuation. Now police speculate that the rioters artificially created the sulferous compound to mimic such a disaster. With the neighborhood evacuated, the rioters then pillaged the stores and killed the few individuals who stood in their way..

   Sheriff Muehler is here right now to discuss various theories.

   Authorities here in town are struggling to connect these acts of violence together. There is no doubt in the public mind that these four incidences are all tied into the same culprits. There are many questions, and few answers for you at this time. But know that the CDAPD is not sleeping until we resolve some of these problems and determine that our beautiful city is safe again.

   Our most strongest theory is that these acts of violence have been caused by an unorthodox Catholic zeolot cult, probably Italian Mafia-sponsored. What remains for us to conclude from this theory is how the various points of violence connect. We hade made some leeway in this matter.

   Dental records from corpses found in the Lorenzo Manor have been traced to Couer d'Alene residents, employees of a luxury yacht whose official docking post is West Central. We now suspect that the explosion on those docks a week ago was a failed attempt to destroy the yacht. Something ignited the barrels of napalm prematurely, causing the spectacular devestation caught on this film.

   We have siezed the yacht, only to discover it empty. Its owner, one Delilah Jackson, has not been seen for days. The yacht lacks all of its maintenance crews, and appears to be virtually adrift. Informants have suggested that Delilah Jackson and several silent partners have been using the yacht for cultist rituals. Several informants state that for the last few years, Jackson and her undisclosed associates have been enticing others aboard to partake in "sensual experiences" which cast normal drugs in shadow. Collaborating sources aid in this claim, stating that they know friends and family--almost all of them with drug-abuse criminal files--who were lured to the yacht with these sensual promises.

   The theory that our investigators have pieced together is that we are in the middle of a war between two religious cults--a Jyhad, so to speak, spurred by the very recent Armeggeddon beliefs circulating the globe. This includes the Mafia-Sponsored Catholic zeolot cult, speculated to be led by the Lorenzo Giovanni himself, and the Satanists who were using the luxury yacht as a temple. Currently, we believe that Mafia zeolot cult attempted to destroy this temple, but failed.

   Within the debris of the Giovanni mansion, we discovered signs of chains and manacles, as well as an underground facility carrying tools that we can only assume are sacrificial in nature. Another temple, this time dedicated to the Mafia zeolots. We believe that when the explosions went off prematurely, the Mafia zeolots kidnapped leading members of the Satanist cult, and brought them there. Perhaps it was their belief that these yacht-cultists could only be destroyed by fire, for they arranged for the fiery destruction and sacrifice of their own temple to destroy the Satanists. Amid the mansion's rubble, we could find no sign of Lorenzo Giovanni himself, which is the leading reason we suspect that the alleged Mafia crime king directs this cult. It is also the only logical reason that this cult has access to the large weapondry seen in recent nights.

   Each event of violence sheds more light and makes more of this theory frightening correct. Records of the black sedan destroyed two nights ago have been traced back to a LeRoy Valentine, an easily-recognizable man who was commonly seen near the West Central docks. His body has yet to be discovered, though the corpse of a woman was found amid the wreckage. This woman is unknown, though a pin on her tattered uniform promoted Remington Politicia Agency, a CDA local establishment designed to help and support potential candidates in various political fields.

   Within the Agency, we discovered the signs of a pagan ritual. Our experts have taken many photographs of the religious drawings and accoutrements left behind. They believe that the rites are the act of the Satanic pagan cult, for it lacks any sign of Catholic semblance. It appears that a sacrifice of a number of humans were involved in the ritual, though we are not at liberty to reveal to the public the exact number and exact means of death. Such information will be withheld until we have more insight.

   Electronic resources within the Agency seem to have plotted for us some of the movements and influences that this pagan cult have built over the years. It includes out-in-the-field tracing devices which we plan to track down to gain further answers. Encrypted notes make elusive commentary on biblical texts, an invasion of some sort, and definate references to an end of the world. Our occult specialists have devoted their time to this information.

   Many within the force theorize that the gasses emitted two nights ago were nonlethal compounds released into the air from the sewars to create the illusion of danger. The fact that the Agency's offices are located in Eldritch Point lend to this idea. We believe that the mafia-supported zeolots attempted to evacuate the neighborhood so that they could stage a much larger explosion, this one taking out the entire building and possibly the city block around it. A large number of explosives was found underneath the Agency, though no detonation device has been discovered yet. We speculate that it was another explosive attempt that failed, this time with less than fiery consequences.

   Even if the neighborhood was evacuated for the sole purpose of destroying this building (one of the largest in the area), our theory does not easily support the damages that occurred to all parts of the neighborhood. Stores have been ransacked, buildings violated with gang and religious propaganda, cars overturned, stray animals mutilated to death, and of course the murder of three--possibly four--of our city's law enforcers.

   Eldritch Point's Catholic Cathedral has been violated in a similar manner. Several corpses were found within. Initial observation concludes they died a week ago, and somehow were brought to the grand cathedral. The marble floors within is cracked, as if something of huge size was placed on it. The pews are likewise destroyed, bearing marks alikened to rending of claws. Investigators are referencing construction apparatti and vehicles in an attempt to match the markings left on the pews to known machines. Meanwhile, chemical analysts are researching the strange strands of mucus and organic material which coats the entire interior. Reports that the strands contain human DNA are only rumors.

   Our investigators believe this is further sign of the Jyhad that CDA has become a battlefield for. We believe this church was defiled by the pagan cultists in an effort to fight back against their religious enemies. The police have not lowered the evacuation procedures for the area. Chemical test results confirming the validity of lethal gas in the area will be confirmed by six o'clock tonight. But as explosives have been found under at least one building, it is still unlawful to attempt entrance into the suburb.

   We have had no sightings of any rioters. We believe that they have fled the scene just previous to dawn. If you fear that a family member or a friend may have ventured into Eldritch Point last night, please call the police. Likewise, if you have any leads regarding either religious cult, we have operators standing by. All such calls will be recorded for analysis later.

   Thank you, Sheriff Muehler. Speaking of missing persons, the search for the porn star Cherry Apple is still under way. According to witnesses, on the night previous to her disappearance, several teenagers in dark uniforms approached her house on South Hill Couer d'Alene. Yet no sign of her has shown up, nor any evidense directing officers to her whereabouts. Her schedule and life is well-known and documented, so police do not suspect she is involved in the religious violence which grips our city this week. Yet she may have become an unwitting bystander, and remains as one of many citizens missing tonight.

   The catelyst of all these problems may be the newest star to our heavens. Astronomers speculate that it is a star in the slow stages of collapse. Its current state, that of a red dwarf, has made it visible for the first time to astronomers and stargazers alike. Medical teams have also found a connection between this star's appearance and the various accounts of seizures, glossalia, and spontaneous comas which have riddled the world.

   Spokane's expert and acclaimed neurologist, Dr. Vasuki, M.D, provides words on the topic.

   The human mind is a wonderous thing, and I have had the liberty of exploring more than my share of its intracacies and enigmas. I have been overseeing all of those suffering from neurological impairments which coincide with the Red Star and I would like you to set aside your fears of radiation or occult prophesies. Our top radialogists have concluded that the star is not emitting anything harmful that could reach our world. Nothing that could possibly induce so many altered states of mind.

   There is fact in the rumor that a majority of those hospitalized for neurological psychoses have documented histories of belonging to psychic professions, unorthodox religious institutions, and practices that deviate from our state's cultural norm. I beg you not to assume that there is validity to their claim of an end of the world. Use your own judgement and follow the religious tenets that you feel best expresses the universe and you within.

   As for this global phenomenon, I would like to cite that all of these individuals have had exemplar discipline in their belief paradigms. A truth has been revealed this week, a very powerful truth which can affect not only the world but the individual. These men and women have suffered both physical and psychological trauma with the mere catelyst of a red star appearing in the night's sky. With their prophesies and beliefs, they prompted these changes themselves, entirely through their own force of will.

   What I am trying to explain to you, watchers, is that the mind is a powerful thing. If you direct and discipline it strong enough, you can affect changes in both body and mind that rival what we call "fantasy." Curing hic-ups, resolving painful pasts, overcoming depression, returning to childhood innocense---these are just the beginning. Psychological willpower can manipulate biological behavior, reducing cancer chances or outright curing it, improving not just health but ability, overcoming chemical addiction, regaining vision or hearing. I have documents that support all of these occurrences. People cloak themselves in a belief that reality and fantasy are two seperate entities. They delve into fantasy genres all the while reminding themselves again and again, "This is just a book. What a shame. It's just a book."

   Put down the book. It's all the matter of the mind now. We have proof.

   Wow, a hopeful forecast in this time of trouble!To send flowers to friend or family member currently hospitalized in this manner, please contact the following number....
