Another Memo...And Another, And Another, And Another...

(Writer’s Note: You are seeing memos from past, present, and potential future, ie, this isn’t a story told in precise chronological order)

(Please consult File 52 if required) 


K-TDCND Report, File 89


(Kobbers-Trouble, Danger - Containment, Neutralization, Destruction)


Location: Whalestrand, Glastera


Last Year Mission: Operation Monster’s Ball


All rifts presenting overt danger and Disgorged Invasive Elements closed.


Rift I and Rift D questionable. Thought done, maybe not. A ‘open the wound to clean it’ may be required, especially considering The Daughter (see: The Daughter). Rift I likely will require a group similar to the one used to close Rift H (See: Carnevil Mission). Might be able to handle with in-house resources. Rift D still uncertain. The mask remains an unknown.


—-


File 98: DANGER: Codename LORD OF THE DEAD


In all honesty, the best solution for this D.I.Ety might be to try and make sure it either ignores us or decides to look elsewhere. The Kobbers can handle most anything, but some things are beyond them in terms of scope, I fear. The entity’s clear quantum immortality…it might well be unstoppable via sheer inertia. Some things cannot be stopped or saved. I do wish they understood that I don’t keep these things from them because I think I know better, I do it because I honestly fear that they could hurt themselves if they tried and failed. EVEN SO…I know my history. I will at least see if the Planeswardens have a file…


—-


Primary Location Change: New buildings designed by one Shinobi Shaw. I have no idea if his father named him that or he thought it sounded good. A visitor from Spero. Preliminary scouting does not seem to indicate the same kind of trouble that came repeatedly from Weyland’s universe, if just due to much lower resources. He seems to just want to build some of his buildings, he made the necessary purchases, he’s been checked up and down, they aren’t going to turn into bombs or spew out monsters. Beyond that, he can build what he wants within his permits. They’re not really to my taste, but I’m not the one who will be looking for a condo…

File 96: DANGER: Codename MOTHER PUSS BUCKET


We live on finding and granting dreams.


That’s not always a good thing.

File 89 Continued 


On Ground Assets


Leviathan: Unchanged

The Gevaudians: Unchanged


Weav: Beckett Marsello has remained on our world, looking for certain orbs that are tied to his mission. He has located six of them so far: he thinks there might be anywhere from 1 to 3 left. He also was entangled with matters that were related to Eggerman’s incident this year (See: Eggerman, Operation Root Power). Has picked up a ‘debtee’ who refuses to quit following him. I’m sure that won’t lead anywhere. Chastity and Brigh accompanied him for a time, but they returned to Weav once the incident in South America was done. Besides his new friend, he’s on his own.


Likely return of Ian Rapanga to enter a new Brawl. Possible return of Vesper Rapanga to support her cousin, and maybe her sibling. Possible return of Sunny Marsello to do likewise with her sibling.


Hope Ravensky planning to enter Brawl to bodyguard last year’s champion and keep her from being swarmed and try and ensure a decent placement defense. Hopefully it goes better than Merilee’s attempt to aid Trigger last year. Julia Ravensky remains in service in house, working on occasional mission. Will likely pass through Whalestrand a time or two, unless she gets a solid lead on INFORMATION REDACTED.


Side Note: That incident on the world with the Death Angels related to San Francisco and the natural events that occurred there is again a reminder: Kobbers WILL find a way to nearly get themselves killed. I hope Miss Streamer got good footage for how badly Julia had to stick her neck out.


Side Note 2: Vacation for Miss Roberts and Ravensky somewhat interrupted by tiger shark attack. Reason unknown. May just be natural. While on vacation, I was delivered a message by ‘Bones’ for her intentions towards Miss Roberts. I hope she doesn’t get hurt. Which she I mean is yet to be determined. This family is a pain.



FILE 91: DANGER: Codename SECOND NIGHTMARE


Someone has learned something from the Rifts.


Like the Stream, and the Bleed, there’s power between dimensions. As studies into things like zero point energy show, sometimes there’s power where you least it expect it.


Someone has figured out just how to use those Rifts for power. But not for themselves. To…craft. Create, or pull and direct. The Candlemaker (see: Candlemaker), an empowered egregore experiment from Dr. Von Reichter, was the first example of these creations or directed summons. Exact purpose unknown. 


Name of first summoned creature, codename D.I.E.ty/ties: Owuo.



File 71: Attempts to find a Baneblade tank for the Bleak Hills (see: Bleak Hills undead) proving immensely difficult. Do not want to take a working model from soldiers of universe cluster, they have enough trouble without some outside force stealing their stuff.. All ‘not working models’ compromised beyond any use. Considered using one corrupted by the ‘Grandfather’ and using the Bleed to sterilize, but decided it was too much trouble.


File 74: It was suggested to me I just build a Baneblade from scratch. How dumb. Do they think I didn’t consider that?


Actually, I didn’t. A Standard Template Information Store is easier to steal, or copy, rather, than a giant tank. If I can do that, I can get to work.


File 76: Some information corrupted. Can at least build a framework. Tank design is modular. Finding working pieces on ruined tanks is still easier. Still might take some time to be completed. For now they just have a big hollow shell. Still, the giant one was so pleased he could actually fit inside and move the gun around, even if he can’t fire it yet.

File 90: Annoyance. Codename EAT ME SPINACH


Broccoli men?


Why?


—-


File 92: DANGER: Codename BANNER’S TAILOR


I swear someone is mocking me, this world, and the dangerous process the Daughter, and I think someone else, is fooling around with.


That’s just what we need. Another competition. One that involves trying to make gods. Like the one that involved what ACROSTIC and Famardy wasn’t enough.


—-


File 79: Utilized two newcomers in a mission to examine a certain corpse. Incident went somewhat poorly, though neither was injured. That dinosaur wasn’t sick, I swear, it was demonically possessed.



File 81: Utilized those two newcomers again. I sent Julia along, expecting her to do the actual hard business. They just had to watch the baby, since my observation removed the parents from the equation.


 It didn’t work out that way.


Conclusion: I really dislike hamadryads. And trees that bleed when you chop them.



File 83: Have been utilizing residents of ‘Chez Sey’ (I asked where they got the name from, but they said it was a secret in joke) much the last month. Though members of Universe-RTAL (see: Roman, Neo, Mercury, Emerald) have become very wary, new group of Stand users have taken up there. (see: La Squadra) who are more willing. Some background investigation suggests a less than clean past. After Erebus (see: Erebus, Universe GDNB-2) though, that’s not to be held against them unless they decide it should be. Had the group investigate/collect ‘spoor’ in Earths in Universes UD-DE4 and UDWS-HELLA. One has a very useful Stand talent involving mirrors. Might use him as prime task-handler for Operation: Quiet Down.


Donatello is always pleased to see or hear from me. I might be the only person he knows who can actually communicate with him on his level. He managed to talk me into showing him some evidence of ‘other versions’ of him and his brothers. I have sealed some of those files: he’d be better off not seeing some of the worlds his brothers and him have had trouble in. I hope he realizes curiosity killed the cat and satisfaction won’t always bring him back.


Allowed Worlds/Files


DDLHHS-Prime: The supposed ‘origin world’ that seeded all the alternate worlds.

DDLHHS-ADVTE: Most ‘renowned’ alternate timeline split from source. Often very silly, but also due to that, less terrible danger.

DDLHHS-ADVTE-AC: Timeline split from above world around Eye of Sarnorth incident. New adventures, but still rather light hearted ones.

DDLHHS-PATW: Second ‘renowned’ timeline split. One event unable to be sealed without sealing all files. Said event involves alternate Donatello. I have warned him that he probably really won’t like what he sees if he looks at it. It’s tied to events that also affected all the alternate brothers, in different ways; those are safe, mostly. Listed files here


PATW-UD-Leonardo: Saki Aniverse Visit. Wholly safe.

PATW-UD-Raphael: Interplanetary Race. Wholly safe.

PATW-UD-Michelangelo: Supermutant Alternate. Possible mild trauma risk due to villain factor (See: The Sliver)

PATW-UD-Donatello: Timeline Anomaly Future. WARNING: While technically having never occurred due to the nature of the Ultimate Draco incident (not our Draco, see “Ultimate Draco” in main DDLHHS-PATW file), high risk of trauma if viewed by Donatello or his brothers. Consider it akin to a nightmare. Who wants to remember their nightmares?


DDLHHS-MMMM: Third renowned timeline split/alternate. World where a larger amount of mutants, friend and foe, were created. This is the world once seen in a Bobby combat scenario.


DDLHHS-ULT: World combining several aspects of already listed worlds, yet with considerable differences. Origin of brothers rather complicated in this world.


DDLHHS-JHP: More low key world. Notable, though, for the first appearance of ‘Super Shredder’, which would reverberate through numerous alternates.

DDLHHS-JHP-NA: Timeline split from above world after Super Shredder incident. Original world had a time travel incident, the alternate world dealt with a supernatural invasion.

DDLHHS-EWAPR: Very strange world. First world to have contact with ‘Power Rangers’, which other timelines would do in the future. Also first world with INFORMATION REDACTED ON REQUEST OF PETER LAIRD.

DDLHHS-MBE: World where brothers are larger, stronger, and semi bulletproof. Information that in this world the turtles were actually aliens proven to be false.

DDLHHS-BTCGI: Most recently discovered alternate. Second among more notable alternates to have a non Caucasian April O’Neil.


DDLHHS-SSST: World where Turtles and their foes have powered up forms. Two sets for the Turtles, actually. Also a world where a being called “Devil Shredder” is considered a less menacing name than ‘Dark Shredder’.

DDLHHS-NACU: Original version of alternate world Michelangelo visited. Yes, he visited an alternate of an alternate. Michelangelo's visited world solely had the Sliver, while the alternate contained the original foe that created the Sliver, known as Dr. Shreddarius.


SEALED FILES


DDLHHS-TTNTC: World where the Turtles suffered severe injuries.

DDLHHS-TFCW: World where Turtles have grown up and separated. Donatello has gone a little mad.

DDLHHS-TLR: World where there is only one survivor. This file needs to be sealed above all the others, I think.



File 96: DANGER: Codename MIRROR MIRROR


I should have known looking at all those alternates was inviting trouble.


Just their tissue, with tons more issues.


—-


File 86: Inviting Iono along on Operation: Quiet Down was a mistake. Not in regards to the Death Angels. Oh no, I let her see a natural disaster and when I come back Julia had to save her from a likely painful death that had nothing to do with that invasive species.


—-


File 95: DANGER: Codename KING OF MY WORLD


Bread and circuses. Opiate of the masses. Put on the glasses.


The Poison has been dealt with. But the master might be another story…the most banal things can be made gods…and what is time to a god? They get more done in a minute than most do all day…



Unknown Factors: Ein


Ie Cyber-Enhanced Makeup, Unit 6. The sole survivor of Dr. Jost Von Reichter’s attempts to make a new form of humanity. Sort of; the brain of one other ‘unit’ was transferred into the biologically modified form of a panther. This cat-being, unable to communicate but with a sapient mind, has been dubbed “Data-7”. It was released into Ein, or Cyber-6 as her name technically is, but she took Ein as her own name, so that is the one we will use…anyway, into her custody. They have kept to themselves: Ein once needed to feed on the ‘blood’ of Von Reichter’s creations, dubbed “Sustenance”, but Reicher was ‘kind’ enough to provide her with a process to allow her to feed on more ‘traditional’ fluids. She has kept to herself since last year ended, especially with the exact nature of the Candlemaker coming out. Unknown if she’ll assist much with Von Reichter still awaiting trial and under ‘house arrest’.


Then again, there was that empty tube, and what Von Reichter said it possessed. Maybe he is off the board, as is Jose, but there might be a third party in play.


Unknown Factors: Olive Chu


May return, may be occupied with the FDA.


Unknown Factors: Merilee Marsello


May also show up to support her adopted brother. I have heard that perhaps another family member may step over to be ‘the adult in the room’



File 97: DANGER: Codename STOOD IN THE FIRE


When you tamper in the domain of gods, sometimes you find the cast off drift of other gods.


Sometimes, you can make treasure out of another creature’s trash.


There’s something else there. Something somehow tied to Mr. Marsello’s quest. Let’s hope what happened before elsewhere doesn’t happen here. Boston was bad enough. We do not need a Cataclysm.


File 87

Something’s going on in the waters. Some sort of territorial pissings, I think. Might be relevant, might be a side thing that doesn’t require us, like Beckett’s issues and how they related to Eggerman’s issues. Ironic. The two helped each other thwart a danger that threatened them both, without ever realizing they were doing so. How very Seven.



File 99: DANGER: Codename CIRNO’S NIGHTMARE


The city screams.


They scream.


They watch. They watch. They watch. They watch. They watch. They watch. They watch. They watch. They watch.


Is this what Beckett saw? Is this what he and his peers are meant to stop?



Other Notable Factors, Known and Unknown


Kobber Alternate-Verse B-8, nee “Altera”: Current location of Ryoko Onotashi. Attempting to take control of as many disparate forces stirred up in the vacuum after the defeat of the ‘Cobbers’. Has several aides provided by Variola, and several of the Keys. One eye kept on her.


Former Associates of Ryoko: Janus Crescent remains AWOL since the final incidents with Annis. He has been spotted lurking around the wilds and the Bleak Hills. Uncertain what he’s doing or looking for. Danger? Possible. If need be…a memory once more.


Sirius Joestar remains with Easter, as does Gene Sasaki.


Dexter has more or less adopted Prosperity Bixby as his new owner. She is in agreement with this arrangement.

 

Other Unknowns 


Dread Kong, member of Cobbers who escaped battle invasion of our world, location still unknown.


“Robo-Beckett”, creation of Master Control Incident, escaped, location also unknown. Neither seem like effective hiders, which begs a few questions I suspect we’ll dislike the answers to.

---

File 100


What does a daughter need? A parent. What does a dark force do when their parent has failed them?


Do better.

A Memo

 K-TDCND Report, File 52


(Kobbers-Trouble, Danger - Containment, Neutralization, Destruction)

 

(Anything written in color can be considered 'notes in the margins' by Dawn. It's mainly a bunch of in jokes and plot hints)


Biannual Kobber Migration. New location: Whalestrand, Glasetera, adjacent to Scandinavia. Scouts on ground information gathering three month report as follows.


Population: Above average.

Population Concentration: Medium. Battles within city grounds above Class 3 still highly discouraged. Surrounding forests and rocky terrains appropriate for battles up to Class 6, depending on exact circumstances. Area very humid, forest fires B-Rank concern, containable by Evacu-8 barring certain or extreme circumstances.


Notable Forces On Ground


Overseer: Easter Solfrid. Arete Ananke remaining behind in Agama. Primary bodyguard: Gene Sasaki (see attached file: Godhand Apparatus)


ZFPD Probation: Ryoko Onotashi. Utilized Keys (see separate file) to manipulate main overseers of Cosineau Group two years ago. Plan thwarted, tool of plan confiscated by Cirnoil (see Cirno, Cirnoil, Heart Star), Ryoko ended up in deep coma for year before awakening during the One Day War in October 2022. Turned herself in. Under deep supervision. Unknown loyalties. Memories still a fog, exact origin still unknown.


Ryoko Aides: Janus Crescent. Sirius Joestar. Dexter.


Janus Crescent: Human-alien hybrid. Superhuman abilities. Blades. Empowered orbs of various uses (See: Materia). Therapy has continued; odds of old life/sufficient trauma to prompt prime counterpart replication emerging are considered semi low.


Sirius Joestar: Vampire, altered through unique pressure point manipulation (See: Stone Mask). Exposed to Stand Arrow. Stand: Ordinary World. Stand more traditional, cannot be seen save for other Stand users. Intercepted before events that transformed Prime counterpart. Blood requirements: any organic blood sufficient.


Dexter: Felis catus housecat of unusual coloration and intelligence. Possesses Red Lantern Ring. Granted Abilities: Flight, energy protection, crude energy constructs, ability to disgorge ‘plasma’ to varying degrees of heat and destructive ability. Temperamental, follows Ryoko out of loyalty for Ryoko avenging his owner’s death.


Semi-Alliance: The Gevaudans, nee The Silvers. Formerly of Decade Mile in Olympia, involvement with Lovecraft incident (see attached files). Plans to attend Agama snarled by Ryoko. Group actually on ground now. Likely high use against supernatural and paranormal threats.


Lyall Curr: Semi-leader. Therian. Trained warrior. Specialized knives.

Chariton "Charlie" Swift: Vampire. Superhuman strength, agility, rapid dental and keratin replication, utilized for weaponization, immune to several traditional vampire weaknesses (wooden stake to heart, holy items, silver), highly vulnerable to fire and sunlight in exchange.

Maeve Curr: Sister of Lyall. Fully human. Extremely skilled archer. Aided Kobbers in Millaarc incident at range last year, did not make contact.

Malachi Dalca: Former “Thunder King” enhanced Therian created by Haruspices (see: Porphyrion, Haruspices, Hadeon). Survived brief Hadeon empowerment, powers left permanently reduced. Still superhuman, minor control of electricity.

Filippa “Pipa” Dafoe: Remaining ‘half’ of Filippa Lucinda Dafoe, split on ‘morality’ level, ‘evil’ half killed by Sine and Bluejay (see: Cuckoo, Mnemovore Incidents.). Altered human known as “Deadman”, femptokinesis, weaker versions of several stolen Deadman talents.


Unknown Alliance: Leviathan


Group of superhumans created through Catalyzation process (See: Stream/Quintessence/Foreverwhere). Ostentatiously on Kobber’s side, but have never really gotten along with them. Enhanced high tech aircraft carrier titled Forever docked in Whalestrand waters. Team briefly split apart, reassembled recently.


Skein: Noel Collins. Team leader. Utilizes unique personal energy projection talent that primarily manifests as white ropes. Not very personable, but trustworthy and honors his word/any deals made.

Techa: Chloe Liu. Semi paralyzed from waist down. Walks and battles with armored warsuit (see: Tony Stark Visit, Carol Stealth Suit).

Helena Tupae: No code name. Magician, serves benevolent other-dimensional being named Decividus (See: Jonas Due). Uncertain powers based around ‘balance’, has demonstrated healing, emotional manipulation, manipulation of various forces via purple smoke. Engaged to Skein.

Beaker: Walt Rod. Expert chemist. Minimal field experience.

“Girl”: Escaped altered human. No name given. ‘Jungle girl’, superhuman Tarzan esque skills, healing factor, implanted metal claws in fingers. Might be a lot more ‘civilized’ then it seems.

Keen: Kimberly Keaton. General superhuman, wields vibrational blade with extreme cutting power. Dating Beaker.

Bombshell: Rena Bowes. Superhumanly strong and durable, capable of incredibly potent punches that can break through armored metal.

Tempest: Serena Blanc. Aerokinetic, able to manipulate air and wind on a high scale, suck air from people’s lungs, generate hurricane levels gusts, fly via wind manipulation, create tornadoes, vortexes, and downward directed ‘wind bombs’. Enlisted in ARMS, achieved rank of Special Air Soldier/Commodore, has briefly resigned (see: Stasis) commission to rejoin team. Presence of SO Ryuga (see: Crystal Heart) or other ARMS personnel unknown.


Forever also has a unit of mercenary soldiers and naval personnel to operate the boat at optimal capacity. Unlikely to get involved with Kobber incidents unless in crossfire or forced.


Clients/Potential Assets Assessment (Based Partly On Movement Requests of Last Two Years)


Weav


Julia Ravensky: On goalless quest in Prime Universe. Semi hard to locate. Likely to return solely for emergencies or if someone targets her personal friends (see: Scars, Clawhauser, Spamton, Isabelle)

Merilee “Merry”/”The Joy” Marsello: Training for Brawl championship defense, not planning to return otherwise, barring possible family/Neeko reasons (See: Beckett, Trigger, Neeko). If Trigger decides to defend BBB12 Title with his current bearer instead, may not return at all.

Bernard Maser: Embroiled in legal matters. Return extremely unlikely (see: Poacher Incident)

James Rapanga: Involved in Bernard issue. Return unlikely.

Ian Rapanga: Involved in Bernard issue. Full return unlikely. Possible situational return based on rumor.

Vesper Rapanga: Involved in Bernard issue. Return unlikely.

Sunny Marsello: Attending Weav equivalent of collage. Full return unlikely.

Bastion Marsello: Currently serving as colonel for Sulaco Dispute. Full return unlikely. Situational return possible.


Scars: Currently serving as Guardian of Oasis City in Egypt. Full time return extremely unlikely, possible situational return

Kozue Kaburagi (Ninjette): Dating Bernard, supporting his legal issues, return incredibly unlikely.


Beckett Marsello: Returning, claims to have seen a vision that will require his aid. Unknown duo of protectors assigned (Get that detail). Possible addition of third, likely Cypress Marsello, adopted brother. (See Cypress, Marsello family tree, Brighton Incident)


Others


Kaydence Roberts: Direct Employee, assessed that she will follow assignments orders barring logical exceptions. Very eager. Still somewhat raw. More tempering likely required, but leash can be loosened. (Institute a damn dress code and find out if she’s the source of the rumor that I possess a ‘lewd stash’.)

Tyzien/Syia: Z-Ki warriors, located home universe, attempting to reassemble nakama team. Return highly situational: transfer between universes taxes their unique physiology due to different wavelengths, cannot be done easily.

Donkey Kong: Possibility of full return unknown. Possibility of situation return(s) unknown. Can be hard to locate or pin down. Can just show up at random. Any attempt to recruit for solid effort likely done well in advance. Supposedly wishes for a boxing match against Hibiki (see: Hibiki Championship Run).

Vent: Highly occupied, but my son makes his own time. He can add his own note if he so wishes.

My Children: Likely return for Brawl as observers. Otherwise they know what’s good for them.

Mother: Does what she wants.

Phillip: Second verse, same as the first.


Olive Chu: Likely to attend season. Wild card. Talent highly useful for investigation and mysteries (see: Cibopathy, Tony Chu). Possibly antisocial. Possibly VERY antisocial. Approach either with caution or pure business.


Primary Hazard: MALICE SEPSIS


-Utilizator of destructive/corruptive energy known as keiketsu, Mallus Malefictum, engaged Kobbers in battle at tail end of Season 12.

-Attempted to harm primary enemy Tyzien/Syia with ‘dimensional distortion claws’, manifested ‘ruin’ energies in solid form. Attack deflected, claws shattered, pieces rained down around Glasetera. 

-Pieces ‘infected’ landing locations, opening dimensional rifts to universally ‘negative’ locations. Energies attract aspects of negative dimension, causing potential further corruption and arrival of invasive species. Akin to highly infected wound, rifts cannot simply be ‘closed’, but must be ‘cleaned’ and ‘stitched’ properly.

-In several situations, ‘wound cleaning’ cannot be done unless issue on other side of rift is neutralized. (Think of it as ‘badness’ pouring in that requires a dam). Others more simple to close, can likely be done solely by Cosineau resources. Kobbers likely needed to combat invasive elements.
-Chronal elements become distorted around rifts, meaning things can happen suddenly very fast or take much longer than expected.


OPERATION: MONSTER’S BALL

All properly analyzed rifts and likely needed solutions assessed so far. Exact number of unassessed rifts unknown, believed very low.


Rift A: Disgorged Invasive Element, requires neutralization. Element believed to be in mountains.

Rift B: Disgorged Invasive Element, believed to be first rift to do so. Element has proven highly elusive, but has been seen more, suggesting growing aggression. Likely situational offense needed, based on reports. (Thank everything that Shale didn’t dismiss it as rumors. Even so, a train?)

Rift C: Human Abomination Crisis on other end. Rift transfer incredibly hostile to machines, organic countermeasures likely needed. Must recruit mentally hardened Kobbers (That’s going to be a real problem. We need to keep any Kobbers that has anything resembling kindness in them away from the situation on the other end of that rift. I do NOT want them experiencing it. But it has to be cleaned sooner than later, lest there be contamination. Thankful it is not the atrocity meme virus world. Uncertain if ANY Kobber could handle that without severe mental trauma, even the likes of Jaxx Tantra.)

Rift D: Corrupted location on other end. Currently static, possibly single operator can handle issue. Native force deal attempt likely, more assessment needed if worth it. (That mask is a wild card)

Rift E: Numerous but lesser forces, recruit Kobbers with energy weapons and or attacks for best results. Possible kidnapping threat (specialized target: young girls. Reasons for specialization: Unknown)

Rift F: On water. Has possibly disgorged corruptive element, must be located and neutralized. Construction-based intelligence suggested.

Rift G: On water. Has also possibly disgorged corruptive element. Early analysis suggest highly dangerous humanoid singular foe. Hardy Kobbers in body and mind recommended if needed.

Rift H: On water. Has possibly disgorged corruptive element, attempts to detect uncertain. Possibly underwater.

Rift I: Static, possibly easily closed. Hostile to machinery like Rift C. Readings suggest non-biological function lifeforms in considerable numbers on other end. Can possibly close without assistance. Have noted non-biological function lifeforms amongst Kobbers on standby (See: Chariton, Pekoyama, the “Pizza Vampire”)

Rift J: SEALED. Cleanup performed by Miss Roberts. Possible loose invasive element, keep an eye out for that. (perhaps we should recruit chris spradlin for this/No Phillip. Just. No. Be careful with adding notes too, you're screwing up the font)
Rift K: Actual realm of replicated STEM trial. Bring guns. Do not bring anyone afraid of clowns. (Just my luck. I hope Vince doesn’t hear about that, I’ll never hear the end of it.)

Rift L: Sealing possible without Kobber assistance. If situation evolves, recruit pilots. (Why Power can’t deal with that himself, I don’t know)

Rift M: SEALED.

Rift N: SEALED.

Rift O: Possible Disgorged Invasive Elements. Kobbers comfortable with violence likely required for possibles. (Blasted black ambrosia. Dealing with such revenants one or two at a time is fine. Dealing with a plague of them of all stripes is another)


Other Noted Concerns


Dr. Von Reichter: Glasetera local. VERY likely ‘devil in disguise’, but has kept to himself until recently and does not wish to involve or harm locals. No kindness in that, study highly suggests pragmatism and being purely amoral. Seems more active in last three years; possible escaped experiment. Traces of other experiments suggest possible highly disruptive plans for the planet and the human race, cloaked in ‘what will be needed’. Between proxy/scapegoat (see: Jose) and covering his tracks well, could be well enured to traditional Kobber destruction tactics (The days when we just saw what we thought was bad and smashed it are behind us, and this guy could very well just surrender to police if we find evidence and get lost in the law system and quietly return to his deeds once we’ve moved on. Possible link to incredibly unpleasant past societies, should probably not mention that to the Kobbers)


Jose (Reichter): Believed clone ‘son’ of the doctor, is actually on the ground in Whalestrand. Dabbler in criminal elements, but primary task seems to be attempted capture of escaped experiment. Commands biologically created minions of great strength but minimal intelligence (see: Fixed Ideas), other creatures possible based on studies. More intelligent than he looks in regards to actions and mistakes, but impulsive and easily frustrated. Approach with caution; Von Reichter could easily scapegoat him for all of their combined actions and/or crimes.


Unknown Woman (Codename: The Daughter): Wholly uncertain element, barest data acquired. Current hypothesis: Hypersensitive misassessment possible. If actual danger, possible Background Manipulator, scale unknown (see: Beatrice, Filgara (The Kobbers never dealt with that world or creature, but it’s the closest analog to what this woman might be per my initial assessment)) Further information needed.


Final Conclusion: Highly scattershot, but generally unconnected level of threats per assessment. If overseeing hand in place (see: Phineas Mason, Phillipa Lucinda Dafoe), more information required. General threat assessment level: 2 to 5 (1 being virtually no danger, 10 being planet and beyond at risk of destruction in some form) (So, lots of fires, but no fire from the sky. Let’s hope it actually ends up that way)

A new year. Here we go again.)
