Made this blog to centralize all the writings I've got scattered over the internet, reblog stuff I use for inspiration, and post first drafts. Main blog at arkady-svidrigailov.tumblr.com. Avatar image by Zdzislaw Bekinski.
Such gates are used to mark the entrance to sacred grounds or gods' territories. "The tori gate symbolizes the division between the sacred and the profane, and is considered a spiritual gateway between the physical world and the spiritual realm."
Early witnesses described the anomaly as having a glowing form before the arrival. Containment within the church has been successful.
Members of the church reported seeing “the Face of Christ” within the anomaly (which our cctv cameras have captured as well). We are unsure if this is a form of communication or mimicry from its surroundings.
Direct contact with the anomaly results in contamination.
Victims of the anomaly are kept in a quarantined medical bay where they receive careful treatment. All four victims (two staff, two church) have survived direct exposure to the anomaly.
Rooftop cameras have picked up footage of an entity (several?) trying to enter the church. We assume that they are drawn to the anomaly. Measures have been taken to keep the entities from breaching the containment area.
Second director ██████ has often been referred to as the “Eyes of God” by the staff, due to his unique connection with the anomaly. He is able to see everything that the anomaly sees (including the various ‘hosts’). This allows us a great advantage over the entities.
