Sorry to put a commercial into your data stream, but look for my upcoming article on massively stereo recordings and the determination of distance of optically-indistinct phenomena, in L6 magazine this month!  OK, back to our regularly scheduled programming of covertly obtained conspiracy comms.

If you missed the previous messages, go to the forums at http://www.flyinglab.com/px-forum/. We are recruiting volunteers to archive these messages on their web pages and have a couple signed up already. The more we get the harder it is for the DELTA GREEN conspiracy to suppress us!

COURAGE!

Alphonse, 

Per your instructions, Agent Nancy passed around typed excerpts from the manuscript Morse left behind. As for my impressions, it reads more like Tolkien than anything else. Are you sure this manuscript is related to the things we’re up against?

Some of the material fits what we've seen so far – the description of their dietary needs, their physical attributes, and especially their ability to steal the memories and appearance of those they eat. The part about their shadows betraying their true form is dead on with what I saw, but the manuscript also says that those abilities are sorcery, not attributes of the species. Anything could be utilizing that sorcery -- this isn't the first time we've run across cannibals. Or sorcerers.

What really gives me pause is that the manuscript's description of their habitat, culture, and method of gathering food doesn't fit with the conditions we have here in New Orleans. 

First of all, these things can't be tunneling under the city, not unless they have scuba gear. This city is built on a mud flat. The water table is less than a yard down. Even if the tunnels didn't collapse, they'd flood. That's why all the crypts in the city are above ground. So they can’t be subterranean. 

Second, since the crypts here are above ground, they can't be gathering their food the usual ways. With no tunneling they'd have to be robbing the crypts in plain sight. Either that or they'd have to make sure the cadavers never get into the crypts. Again, lifting the cadavers on the way to the crematorium seems like the best option. We're already compiling a list of those facilities here in southern LA and MS.

Third, the manuscript describes a culture that has strong taboos about mixing with humans.  They're supposed to shun the human world, only emerge from their tunnels at night, and only have the most minimal contact with us "un-ripened fruit," as they call us. But the only way I can imagine them feeding unmolested in this town is by having deep connections with the human community. 

I can't imagine where these things, whatever they are, would get the money necessary to bribe the funeral home owners, especially considering what a legit parlor can they rake in on their own. My feeling is that they are more likely to be the owners and staff of one or two local funeral home chains. Better not be all of them or we're talking about hundreds of these things.

And fourth, the society described in the manuscript is practically anarchistic. These things speak much of their freedom and liberty. The manuscript characterizes duty, loyalty, and obedience as characteristics of the "shackled inhabitants of the surface world." I find it inconceivable that a group of scavengers could keep themselves hidden here in this century without the strictest discipline and coordination of their activities. Again, that's nothing like the culture described in the manuscript.

So besides their diet, the face dancing and memory theft, and the fact that the manuscript was found in New Orleans, what else is there to link the creatures described in the manuscript with the creatures here? Nancy seems sure. Since I’m NOT sure, I have to assume she knows something, but she's not telling.

Neither Charlie, Cyrus, or Dr. Fulani have gotten back to me yet, but I expect to hear from them later today. Wouldn't this be simpler if you just told me what they know instead of making me do this stupid dance?

Be Seeing You,

Agent Graham
