McCullum's Report


 * Found in Doris Fletcher's Acting School during Science Without Conscience

Description
Personal notes of Geoffrey McCullum about his recent investigations
 * 11.06.18
 * I just finished reading Doris Fletcher's journal, as painful and dreadful as it was - my
 * God, the woman planned to see everyone in London afflicted, by infecting all who would
 * come to her next play. It helped me understand greatly what is going on. Doris
 * Fletcher's real name was Doris Jones: she was the daughter of some Harriet Jones who
 * has been treated as a patient for a long time at the Pembroke Hospital. She clearly
 * hated her mother, but used her fame and notoriety to see her while visiting the poor and
 * sick in the East End. I don't know exactly what happened then, but this is how her
 * mother infected her before returning to the theatre... And how she turned into that
 * monstrosity that the leech known as Jonathan Reid finally defeated.
 * The presence of that vampire in the same hospital where Harriet Jones was treated can't
 * be a coincidence. I am convinced he is deeply involved with the vampire plague going
 * on in London right now. I am also convinced Swansea is his accomplice, and that those
 * two are planning something more terrifying than anything the Guard has ever faced.
 * Maybe I should take some time to read the old books and manuscripts the Guard still
 * possess to get some answers. It may prove useful. In the meantime, I better send some
 * patrols to investigate about what is occurring at the Pembroke Hospital.
 * 11.08.18
 * It took me two days to parse through the dusty registers and books we keep in the vault.
 * God, I hate losing time like this! The search did prove fruitful, for once. I found two pages
 * that could be related to our present situation in a copy of William Marshal's Memoirs. I
 * took them with me to read more carefully. This creature Marshal says he fought in 1666,
 * this Disaster that aimed to destroy London, it is very similar to what happened with Doris
 * Fletcher: disease, infection, hate of the living, a desire to see the city ransacked, I have
 * no doubt now that the bloody old leech of William Marshal is behind all this, and that he
 * is back. This could be our greatest accomplishment, if the Guard could at last find and
 * destroy that old bastard. I believe what Marshal did in 1666 is exactly what Reid is now
 * trying to do. Did the creature, this Disaster, escape their will? Is it why Marshal destroyed
 * creature? I don't know. But those two are clearly working together, and Swansea is
 * helping them. I will immediately give orders to have him arrested and interrogated. As
 * for Reid, I'll destroy that evil beast myself, and then we'll deal with William Marshal, and
 * this Disaster thing. Priwen will prevail, once more!
 * this Disaster thing. Priwen will prevail, once more!
