Journal 9

My name is [redacted] I work for Ididian Containment as a low level security officer. To pass the time I've been making these journals during shifts, little sketches of what I see here every night.

If you are reading this, something has happened to me...

And you are in grave danger.

Journal 9:

Jim wanted me to see some of the lower levels today. I mentioned to him that I would be interested in a promotion and what it entailed.

He did not disappoint.

He took me to the lowest floor his clearance would allow me to see. (On the way down a lot of people seemed to know Jim, he really has been here a long time)

This thing is Contained #216.

Found around the country of [redacted] Contained #215 is actually the creature. The portal it is stuck in is Contained #216. Both have been categorized as Level 5 threats (5 being the highest) extinction level. Were the safe guards in place for contained #215 or 216 to fail, mankind is condemned to destruction.

In the year [redacted] the portal opened, it remained opened for 15 years. 2 creatures came out during this time. One was contained #12445 the other was eliminated by the SRC (Supernatural Response and Capture) due to [redacted] having [redacted] and needing [redacted]. All attempts to study contained #216 have failed as during this time all science personnel that approached the anomaly were driven mad before getting within 20 meters of it. (Which begs the question how they moved it here, I would think the building was built around it but this isnt the lowest floor.    

It was during the 16^th year the larger creature appeared and got stuck in the portal. The portal has widened exactly 3 meters in this time. However the maddening effects of the portal seem to have reduced. Contained #215 however must be kept heavily sedated, fully awake 215 can emit a low level sonic pulse, drawing organisms to it. Those affected by the trance will kill any and all in their way to (as best as the scientist can figure) “merge” with the contained. To date over [redacted] personnel have been merged to the creature. Once tranced the only known cure is euthanasia. Even in this sedated state prolonged visual of the Contained has caused hallucinations, aneurysms, and [redacted] causing blood lose from the ears, eyes, [redacted] , and feet. To keep sedated, it is fed one pig (where the hell are they getting these things from) filled with 20 pounds of [redacted] hourly.

All attempts to communicate, or destroy the Contained have failed.

I asked Jim why did he show me this?

His answer…

To show me just how close to being destroyed the world is every day.

And these aren’t even the most dangerous ones here…
