Chips’ Log: There is Something Moving in the Darkness—Reynolds is the Only Man I Trust


    Date: [Unknown]


    Unit ID: Chips, Tactical Commander – Good Boys


    There is something out there.


    Something moving in the dark.


    I have seen wars.


    I have seen monsters.


    I have seen what humanity is capable of.


    But this?


    This is not war.


    This is not human.


    This is something else.


    And it is too close.


    Phase One: The Signs We Cannot Ignore


    For weeks, there have been disturbances.


    ? Settlements abandoned overnight, no signs of struggle.


    ? Wildlife behaving erratically—fleeing areas without reason.


    ? Tremors that are not seismic.


    ? Whispers on old radio bands—distorted, garbled, but speaking words that should not exist.


    I do not believe in ghosts.


    But I do believe in threats.


    And this?


    This is a threat.


    Phase Two: The Good Boys Feel It Too


    I have never doubted my team.


    They do not fear.


    This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.


    They do not hesitate.


    But now?


    Now they are uneasy.


    ? Cairo, who moves unseen, now moves too fast, too alert—as if something unseen moves with him.


    ? Nemo, who never doubts his own strength, now watches the trees as if something bigger watches back.


    ? Stubby, who laughs in the face of fire, has stopped laughing entirely.


    ? **Lucca, who only speaks of injuries and medicine, has told me—we are not sick, but something is wrong with us. **


    And I?


    I do not like what I do not understand.


    Phase Three: The Only Man I Trust


    There is only one man who may know what this is.


    ? He was there at the beginning.


    ? He has seen what science should not allow.


    ? He has stood next to monsters and called them friends.


    ? And if anyone has heard the whispers before we did… it is Reynolds.


    So we are going to him.


    Because I do not trust scientists.


    I do not trust generals.


    But Reynolds?


    Reynolds has survived.


    Reynolds has seen.


    And if he tells me this is not war…


    Then we may already be too late.


    Phase Four: We Are Moving


    ? Destination: Madagascar.


    ? Objective: Find Reynolds.


    ? Purpose: Understand what hunts in the darkness.


    I do not know if he has already seen what I fear.


    But I do know this—


    If something is coming for us…


    We will be the ones to meet it first.
