It was a cold and foggy night as Sergeant John drove down the winding forest road. He had been on a long patrol and was looking forward to finally reaching the midnight diner, where he could get a hot meal and some much-needed rest.
As he drove, John couldn’t shake the feeling that he was being watched. He kept glancing in his rearview mirror, but all he could see was the thick fog that seemed to follow him wherever he went.
Just as he was starting to relax, a figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the road. John hit the brakes, bringing the car to a screeching halt. As the fog cleared, he realized with a start that the figure was a bigfoot.
The massive creature stood there, staring at him with piercing eyes. John’s hand instinctively went to his gun, but he knew he didn’t stand a chance against the beast.
Instead, he slowly opened the car door and stepped out, trying to show that he meant no harm. The bigfoot seemed to understand, and it slowly turned and lumbered off into the woods.
John watched it go, a mixture of fear and wonder running through his veins. He knew he would never forget this encounter, and he couldn’t wait to tell his comrades about it back at the base.
With a shaking hand, he climbed back into the car and continued on his way to the diner. As he pulled into the parking lot, he couldn’t help but wonder what other strange and mysterious creatures he might encounter on his patrols in the future.
Briefing
Greetings Special Agent K. After starting our collaboration with Klumgongyn and his species, a lot of the earth’s mysteries have started to clear up. Not being able to share these with the rest of the world but, suffice to say, a lot of sci-fi movies aren’t that far off from reality.
One of such interesting topics is the existence of Bigfoot, or Sasquatch as it the more formal term. These creatures roam the interiors of the American heartland and reach far up north. For several decades, people have had run-ins and sightings with these creatures.
Originally, Sasquatches evolved next to their human counterparts. But after eventually growing apart, due to our new found aversion to the discomfort of sleeping on the forest floor, they’ve taken refuge in the most rugged parts of the American wilderness. While we eventually opted for sleeping in home-delivered Swedish furniture.
As Klumgongyn now taught us, the Klumgon have been using Sasquatches to keep an eye on human behavior over the past decades. Instructing the beasts to probe human civilization for our reaction to a strange and foreign species. Needless to say, the results are still very negative. The best theory would have humans shoot the alien being and cut it’s guts open. Therefor only a select group of humans know about the existence of the Klumgon and Sasquatch.
Now that we got that introduction out of the way… During the 1970’s, a Sasquatch was spotted by a member of the US Armed Forces. While heading home from a late night diner, the soldier spotted the Sasquatch crossing the road late at night. After this sighting, the Sasquatch was never seen again. Even disappearing to it’s Klumgon handlers.
This particular Sasquatch was named “Norman” by it’s handlers. What made Norman special, was the ability to turn his nocturnal vision on and off. A genetic abnormality for the otherwise nocturnal Sasquatch. The Klumgon need Norman to reverse engineer this ability, to implement in a piece of biotech for their “Future Soldier of 2030” government program.
Needless to say, given our current collaboration, that would be a very useful piece of bio-tech. Not having to rely on clunky and limited NVG’s, but a simple set of new eyes and a microchip instead.
So, I leave you with your assignment. Find the article where this particular soldier describes the incident. This will be the starting point for our investigation. All we know, is that the article is published by someone else, chronicling the story shared by the soldier.
As always. Special Agent K, the contract is yours, if you choose to accept.
