Case File: Second Star on the Right and Straight on till Morning
July 1st, Tuesday
[whispered voice]
We arrived in Reno this afternoon after a very long flight inwhich I was seated next to Agent Frost. I suppose it could have been worse though, Agent Chan was stuck next to Shoemocker. Who wanted to bring his golf clubs along for some odd reason.
It was a short trip to the town of Pleasant Park, although we almost had to make a small detour for Shoemocker to purchase some gambling tickets. Agent Frost and Chan both have keys to the rental car. Agent Shoemocker made himself a little too comfortable in the back, and I'm glad I grabbed shotgun. Though later on in the day I had to be with him.
When we arrived at the local police office, I realized why I prefer to deal with the dead. The chief was unbelievable. I have never met someone who tried to be so friendly. He was almost unbearable. We got a photo of Mr. Leblank and drove out to see the enthusiast camp which is about 30 miles from the town. It's a simple trailer park, which had about 30 people living in it.
Once we got there, I realized I was in hell. I wandered about with Chan for awhile, searching around the winabegos for any sign of occupants. We left the other two together as they seemed they might get along. Agent Frost found a small dead dog tied to one of the trailers. Using some sort of telekinetic power, he placed the dog in a large bag we had found. We continued to search and soon came upon a collection of 28 bodies lieing in the dirt.
Looking at them briefly, I noticed that the dirt had been shuffled around them, a few had also bit off their tongues. I gave the group a guess that it might have been epilectic shock, though 28 cases of it in a span of an hour even is really unlikely. Once I can get to a real lab I might be able to determine more.
We continued our search and found some more dead animals, two of which were canaries. We also found a fish tank with the fish still alive. There was a strong smell of chlorine in the trailer, and we will try some tests later on. Agent Chan quickly called in the CDC to investigate. We brought the dead to one of the bigger trailers with air conditioning to try and preserve the bodies till they got here.
After doing some of my own research, it appears that this group did see their UFO, and quickly after something happened. I also will have to take note of the fact that ones who choke on their tongues don't seem to be able to talk afterwards. Also, one of the men mentioned something about a cold grey cell. It was rather strange. I shall have to ask Brian about that if I can find him.
[Sounds of a truck pulling up]
We have put the entire city under quarintine. As Agent Shoemocker found tire tracks leading away from here. Hopefully this is not going to spread that far.
