A LOVELY ADDITION

Incident Report
NSA Analyst Eric Jaworski
Teufelsberg, Berlin

By the time anyone reads this, I will surely be dead. I want to record the events that have transpired, with the intent that the person who finds this will have a better idea of what’s happening than I do.

If I had to make an educated guess, I would theorize a Requiem agent is reading this right now. You probably mobilized a strike team to suppress the situation here and recovered this letter off my dead body. Hell, you may have found me alive and had me executed to ensure my silence. Given the secrecy under which your department operates, it would not surprise me. In fact, I get it.

Regardless, Requiem, here’s a summary of events. I’m sure it will make a lovely addition to your list of “incidents”. Hopefully it’s helpful.

Yesterday 0800 there was a loud crack, almost like a gunshot. It threw the station into a panic and we went into an immediate lockdown, thinking hostile forces had taken the facility. That part turned out to be true, but it wasn’t the enemy we expected. It was something “otherworldly.” I suspect the same as what you encountered in Berlin last month.

By 1200 half of our staff had been “infected.” A lethal barrier was identified, slowly spreading throughout the area. We were forced into the main building as the auxiliary buildings were consumed by this purple fog. One of the communications out of Berlin last month identified it as a “lethal Phasic barrier”. I don’t get it, but I’m sure it makes sense to you.

By 1800 we were forced to the top floor. Undead hostiles had us cornered. Around 2330 they breached our floor. In the assault, I was separated from my colleagues. I do not know their fate. It is 0300 now and I have secured myself in one of the radomes. I am not hopeful rescue will come fast enough.

One additional detail I am convinced is connected: last week we began receiving a strange, indecipherable transmission from the Nazi facility buried beneath The Hill. I can confirm it is a repeating verbal cipher of some sort. We were unable to decode it. However, if you are who I think you are, you may have better luck.

Requiem, by the time you find me I’ll be either be dead or silenced at your hands. Do me a favor – there’s an Angela Jaworski in Skokie, Illinois. At least let her know I’m KIA. I don’t care about the cover story, provided it’s not embarrassing. She deserves to not be left in the dark, so she can at least move on with her life.

And if this isn’t Requiem reading this: this is all an elaborate prank! Haha! Got you good, didn’t I!
