Its light is so comforting, so familiar. It reminds me of summer nights when I was a boy. The sun setting, the air warm, the chittering song of the evening insects.

As the death toll climbed, newspapers named the disease “Farmer’s Rot”.</p><cf>Rumors began circulating that the carnival itself was to blame. In November of 1959, the townspeople of <em>[REDACTED]</em>, Georgia took it upon themselves to raze the carnival to the ground, believing the entertainers to be servants of the devil.</p><cf><p>Bureau agents had been monitoring the carnival while investigating the odd disease. Posing as <em>[REDACTED REDACTED]</em>, agents confiscated all carnival property that survived the flames. At a field office, stray <em>[REDACTED]</em> were placed in rooms with individual pieces of the carnival equipment. The game hammer was identified as the cause of the disease. The remaining property was incinerated, along with the infected <em>[REDACTED]</em>. The carnival owners were told they had been carrying a dangerous pathogen in their equipment.</p><cf>

Note that accounts provided by all three sources contain conflicting data. Example: D.F. claims there were eight slides for the projector. J.F. mentioned nine slides. The Bureau found one intact slide (designation: 36) and the burnt remains of six others. Unfortunately, these slides are too badly damaged to be used in the Projector.</p><cf><p>Jesse Faden is believed to be the individual responsible for burning the slides.</p><cf><p><u>NOTES:</u></p><cf><p>Dr. Darling has ordered that the entirety of the Ordinary town dump be brought to the Bureau for examination and analysis, with the hopes of finding additional slides or other altered materials.</p><cf><p>Due to the limited space in the Investigations Sector, this AWE will be investigated in the Containment Sector.</p>

632opcon_doc_bookclub_02_DESCRIPTION1	<p>Book Club Thoughts</p><cf><p>By Phillip P. </p><cf><p>“Unless You” hooked me right away. It began with visceral dismemberment scenes, and this great unsettling vibe created by the unexplained creature they named “the Fix”. </p><cf><p>As an avid horror fan, I loved how this story veered from the genre conventions into something a little more, for lack of a better word, weird. Everything felt familiar, but just a little off. The characters even comment on it, saying how their lives felt out of control, as if they were just programmed to perform the same empty actions over and over. Very meta.</p><cf><p>And I loved the way they left the ending wide-open. What happened to the guy ordered to watch those monitors for the rest of his life? Did the Fix get him? Is he dead? Did he end up in the parallel reality with the others? We don’t know. And that’s okay.</p><cf><p>All in all an interesting read. I’ll give it a solid 4/5. Points deducted for some of the clunky dialogue and unbelievable choices the characters made. I mean, who the hell would follow orders from their boss in the middle of such a horrible slaughterfest? But I guess I shouldn’t demand too much realism from a work of fiction.</p><cf>

641opcon_doc_bookclub_03_DESCRIPTION1	<p>Book Club Notes for Penny</p><cf><p>By L. Samson</p><cf><p>So I don’t usually read a lot of sci-fi, but as far as space operas go, this was all right. The title “Unless You” could refer to a bunch of things in the book, I guess, but I thought it was a little vague and stupid. The way the characters kept throwing it around almost like a catchphrase got real annoying real fast. </p><cf><p>The best part of the story was the space battles. I sided with the Fixers, obviously, because they had the coolest tech and their motives made the most sense to me. Honestly, if I had to choose between some hoity-toity flowers-in-guns space hippies or a bad-ass bunch of warriors who go around devouring planets like cheap sushi on a Sunday, I know who I’m picking. That scene where they invade city-planet and convert the entire population using those brain worms? And that space dog fight between those two ace pilots? Sign me the fuck up. </p><cf><p>What kind of ruined the whole thing for me was when my favorite character got killed not even halfway through the story by getting a battery cylinder launched into his face by a gravitational anomaly. His death didn’t feel necessary at all. </p><cf><p>2/5</p><cf>

650opcon_doc_bookclub_04_DESCRIPTION1	<p>“Unless You” – review by Cpt. Lopez</p><cf><p>These days, most YA novels intertwine the “coming of age” story with either a contrived dystopian setting or a tragic romance. “Unless You” managed to do both. </p><cf><p>In the story, the protagonist and her love interest search for a cure to a virus called “the Fix”, which is simultaneously killing her and spreading across the whole world. To find the cure, they go on expeditions into dangerous, uncharted territories (the people all live in walled cities now because dystopian future), and along the way they just have to fall in love. </p><cf><p>I liked how we never got to know if the Fix was ever actually… fixed. The ending was bold, especially for YA. The main character succumbs to the Fix when she’s so close to the cure and commands her love interest to go on and save the world. She knows this is the end for her, but that the job can still get done. She dies out in the unknown, alone and surrounded by danger, but never loses sight of the goal. That’s a good soldier’s death. </p><cf><p>I give this book 3/5. I feel most of the teenage angst is a little lost on me, but I’d recommend it to my brother’s kids. </p><cf>

I hope it is not the case that you have dismissed my claims outright. In that hope, I am writing you to once more ask for your help in understanding the oddity that has befallen me in my home. </p><cf><p>I have recently begun renting a new apartment in the city. The space is nothing special, though for a time I found the isolation quite soothing. Recently, I have begun experiencing a strange occurrence. When I’m in my kitchen, a tiny little thing with not much but a sink, I sometimes lose myself. My surroundings change. I find myself standing on strange dark stone. I stare out at a colorless sky, as white as undisturbed snow, terrified of moving. </p><cf><p>Perhaps this is a brain issue? I think not, as it feels terribly real. This has been occurring for some months now and I have become frightened of entering the kitchen. If it’s not too much of an inconvenience, I would dearly appreciate a visit from one of your professionals to see what they make of it. </p><cf><p>I await your response with little expectation, but with great hope. </p><cf><p>Very Truly Yours, </p><cf><p>Lorraine Fitzgerald</p><cf>

To prove these connections, the Parapsychology Department carried out variations of Solomon Asch’s original conformity experiments using a telepathic individual as the subject (see experiments <em>[REDACTED REDACTED]</em> for details). Extensive qualitative and quantitative data resulting from these experiments was then used to identify telepathic interference within the group. Further empirical findings suggest measures can be taken to safeguard against telepathic influence on behaviors by engaging in <em>[REDACTED REDACTE REDACTED]</em>. Rather boldly, this paper stands to revolutionize decades of groupthink theory and provide new directions for further experimentation on the mind, including manipulation of <em>[REDACTED REDACTED]</em> and <em>[REDACTED]</em>.</p><cf><p>Refer to file 3-18-2849 for full report.</p><cf>

The environment seen in its glass contains slight distinctions. </p><cf><p>It is unknown why the Mirror does this, if there is any <em>[REDACTED</em> <em>DACTED]</em> then it’s something we can’t perceive. The popular theory is that the Mirror has a goal in mind, that it reflects the world it wishes were real, subtly replacing our reality with its own. While certainly far-fetched, the theory is worth noting here as a warning not to underestimate the Mirror. The specially-designed Black Rock panels have been installed to prevent access, from our side or the Mirror’s. For added security, a particular arrangement of the panels is required to open the door. </p><cf><p>Refer to file 9-15-7412 for full report. </p><cf>

Is it transplanar, psychologically-generated, or rooted within our own dimension? How does the Altered Item “know” the space in its vicinity well enough to reflect it? Why does it reflect some materials, but not others? </p><cf><p>Is the space a parallel reality? If so, then we need to consider that while we possess this physical end of the Mirror, someone else owns the other. What purposes might they use it for? Can they walk through into our own world? What are their motives? </p><cf><p>Lastly, to what purpose does the Altered Item produce the reflections of individuals that enter it? Can these reflected entities leave the Altered Item?

Here it is: </p><cf><p>Microscopic organisms, similar in appearance to <em>[REDAC]</em>, construct the architecture of the Mold. I do not understand if these <em>[REDACT</em> are the original disseminators of the Mold or are bidden by some fungal infection. The Mold is the most prolific and durable organism I have ever seen. I theorize there is a Mold source located somewhere on our side of the Threshold, rooted here to accelerate growth in our dimension. I refer to this yet unknown source as Mold-1. </p><cf><p>The Mold produces an enticing aroma to encourage human consumption of itself. It propagates in the chest cavity and quickly subsumes the entire body, seizing control of motor functions. This behavior was not observed when I first arrived, which means the Mold has adapted to our presence, targeting our biological imperatives as a way to spread. It is a truly ingenious little thing. </p><cf><p>A full report will be ready soon. Keep your slacks on. </p>

She is able to “cleanse” material and organisms of the Hiss corruption. We tested this ability on a Hiss corrupted entity, but unfortunately the process seems to kill the host.

In his written reports, he states that there is a clear link between these Objects of Power, the <em>[REDA]</em>, the Astral Plane, and the Oldest House itself. His work supposes these links are innate, a fact ingrained into the very <em>[REDACTED]</em> of Objects such as the Hotline or the Service Weapon. </p><cf>But what if these particular Objects were never linked to the <em>[REDA]</em>, but had that connection forced upon them? Isn’t it strange that no other Objects of Power require such direct contact with the <em>[REDA]</em>? Isn’t it strange that using the Service Weapon or the Hotline will result in grievous harm or even death if the user is not the Director or at least worthy of the role? Why do we assume this involvement by the <em>[REDA]</em> is a natural fact and not something more <em>[REDACTED REDACTED]</em>? </p><cf><p>Refer to file 6-23-9382 for full report.</p>

It is how we rationalize events connected by no identifiable causality, yet clearly conjoined in purpose. How does a dream foretell an event in the physical plane?

The world is unified in ways we do not yet understand, and sometimes we stumble across these invisible unseen cords and wonder at the result. </p><cf><p>The visionary Carl Jung laid the road, now we must walk it. My fledgling Research Department will make it our mission to reliably reproduce <em>[REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED]</em> behavior by the close of 1959.

Like, the actual proper airplane? Guess who they made catalogue every individual piece of that plane to be examined for “suspected altered status”? I had to count every bolt, nut, and piece of non-connected metal. And that’s just on the exterior of the damn thing. Do you know how many pieces of hardware it takes to make an airplane? I do! I DO!</p>
