Glad that we’ve found someone to put on the team. Now, Mr Cruz, today you’ll be responding to a report of a potential anomaly located in a quiet town that’s isolated from civilisation. Initial reports indicate that it shouldn’t be dangerous, but you never know. The investigation is codenamed:
>A boy and his dog
>A small boy and a dog have been spotted wandering around the town. Nobody knows who they are, and anytime someone has approached them they’ve mysteriously disappeared without a trace. Usually a case we hand off to the FBI, but it has come to our attention that the people who disappear are turning up again a week later with no memory of the time they’ve lost. You’re to investigate what it is and why it’s happening.
>Lawrence of Arabia
>A man claiming to be a British military officer from the Middle East has turned up, ranting about the “Damned Ottomans, Turks, and Arabs”. He’s dressed for the part too. Something that would normally be dismissed as an escaped loony, but he’s also started mentioning “Wars between machines and malignant flesh”, “The Glowing Red King” and “Those insidious snake handed devil worshippers”. We want to find out what he knows, and how.
>Midas Touch
>Rumours have spread of an individual in town who can create objects from solid gold. We have suppressed published photos of a golden house that seem to be genuine. The identity of the occupant or exact location of the house is unknown. Since transmutation is impossible, the conclusion is that they have acquired some anomalous ability or object. You’re to discover how he’s doing it and take him and whatever he may have into custody.
Now that you’ve looked over the mission file, do you have any further questions? Remember, some of the answers may be classified, and someone in your position isn't likely to know much of what's going on anyway. Oh well. Good luck out there.
