|---|---|
| Jonathan_Langellier_MEG | Oh hi antoine |
| What's going on? | |
| someoneintheroom | We just found August's recording device during the latest expedition? |
| Jonathan_Langellier_MEG | And no sign of him nor Lana? |
| someoneintheroom | No trace of their body. The recording tape was also damaged but Kaya managed to fix it. She's used to that kind of thing. |
| Jonathan_Langellier_MEG | Don't keep me guessing like this, what happened? |
| someoneintheroom | No clue for Lana, but August got ambushed |
| Jonathan_Langellier_MEG | This damned Staff keep being an pain for us. May the gods have mercy on the soul of our agents. |
| someoneintheroom | Sir, I have reasons to believe this wasn't the Beast's trickery here |
| There's this weird thing in the log where we hear Lana's voice guiding August into the lion's den | |
| So I checked our file archive and I've found something similar there | |
| It's about this Colony in Level 6 called "Mimicry" | |
| Jonathan_Langellier_MEG | Oh gods |
| I remember this | |
| Homely Hotel shared concerns about them. We knew they feared the light, and now with the Blackout they can leave their former level | |
| And the Terror Hotel is one of the exits of Level 6 | |
| someoneintheroom | they did become aware of the threat they pose indeed |
| What do we do now? | |
| Without light we're basically powerless if we ever need to fight | |
| Jonathan_Langellier_MEG | We still have artificial lights. We have to find a way |
| Please gather the entirety of the Intelligence Department and come to my office | |
| I'll inform Homely Hotel and Hermes-5. We need to discuss the threat as soon as possible |

To the Attention of Housekeeping, Hermes-5 and Homely Hotel personnel
As days passed and as the Major Explorer Group started to adapt and struggle against the widepread pananormal phenomenon known as the "Blackout", Homely Hotel started manifesting concerns about the potential activity of the group of interest Mimicry, known to have settled in Level 6, a grim thought Housekeeping unfortunately confirmed with the retrieving of a log confirming their activity outside of "Lights Out". Although they used to be contained to this dark realm, recent events may allow them to further their influence, and establish themselve as a widespread threat for levels connected to "Lights Out".
Reports from Team Hermes of the Ariane Circle have confirmed the worst. Mimicry has left Level 6, something that wasn't possible just a few days ago. We have confirmation that at least one of their four members is actively hunting near Housekeeping.
Unfortunately, that's about where our knowledge ends. Not only do we lack the whereabouts of the three other members, but we also understand their nature extremely poorly. Whether they are humans or entities, is still a grey area, as no one ever managed to see them let alone use Frvyo jades near them. All we know is that they are most likely afraid of light to an extend, something that prevented them from reaching Thalassophobia or, in our case, the Terror Hotel.
As we haven't been touched by Synthesial Reversal yet, our concerns about them are lower thanks to us being able to still use some artificial lights in a realm that hasn't morphed beyond our understanding. Their numbers, even if all four are present here, still remain much lower than all of us united. However, their abilities make them a deadly encounter, much more than any creature we familiarized ourselves with over the years.
Although we have a lot of other problems to deal with right now. This should not fly under the radar. All personnel going outside to retrieve food, water or other vital ressources should be aware of the threat. Do not leave your group, and do not listen to voices you recognize unless you can see the person in question. They seem to know us very well, something very concerning seeing how isolated they were less than a week ago. Caution is necessary for your life and the well-being of our bases.
May the glimmer of Hope never end. Even in the dark, we still shine together.
Jonathan Langellier, Housekeeping Intelligence Supervisor
…
I see them, running in the dark
Veiled by obscurity, I observe, I track.
Agents desesperate for goods
Walking to their impending doom
"Guys we found a kitchen!" I shout
And so the meggies followed my voice out
The last one, too slow, got left behind the group
retracing my steps, I silently went for a coup
"Wait for me guys!" I asked
Ready to put on the mask
A voice from afar is what they were expecting
But so close, in the dark, how could they think about my coming?
They think they never left their friend
And this will cause their end

notes :
- Il faudrait un signe distinctif qui permettre au MEG de reconnaitre les assasinats de Mimicry
- Le groupe du poème cherchait à prendre les bougies dans les cuisines, et la personne derrière n'avait pas de lumière
- mimicry members could be "hunting" not because they like to kill, but because it makes them feel like they are someone, as they would have lost their own identity long ago after spending so much time in a sensory deprivation in Level 6
