The smell of ocean salt freshens the light yet grim mood surrounding the once-sleepy districts of Santaral island, as faint cold winds and dark skies envelop the island's surroundings. A small boat zips through the water just a few kilometers from it, dividing the rocky waves as it makes its way to the chosen ports. One can look around and see small Noterburg-Class FACs guarding the waters, almost eerily looking over the small boat or the horizons of the island. Nonetheless, a mysterious man dressed in white CBRN gear with a Janpian flag patch on his shoulders operates the boat, going nameless as his identity hides beneath his goggles. His passengers? Some armed (or unarmed) research expeditionaries looking for a big price in the name of research and development. Over their windows, one can see Mt. Pojukai standing dominantly over the island, wearing some cape-like fog on the summit. Beneath it is a small town, lifeless and abandoned. Going forward, the man in CBRN gear carefully navigates through the rough waters, trying to avoid the boat getting grounded as it makes its way to the port.
Stepping down, you arrived at either the Port of Ereno or the Port of Huscha. The town is...cold. There were no signs of life or activities besides the noise of the crashing waves or rustling leaves. As your equipment and a few of your fellow expeditionaries were dropped off, the man in CBRN gear gave a small look back, his face almost expressionless due to his outfit. He gave a slight nod and unharnessed the ship from the dock. Now, you are on your own.... sealing your fate into the island by your own actions. The objectives are clear but, the future is dim. Prior to that, a small note was slipped into your hand, giving you a bit of an understanding of this "failed experiment"

Name: Alyana Ulyari
Age: 22
Occupation: Former member of the Kalinka Guards Unit
Species: Unidentified
FOLLOWED-UP HYPOTHESIS REPORT:
The recent events at Santaral Island have indicated that a research material supposed to go to Sansakan Island was misplaced or mismatched by the Oceanian authorities, backdropping the entire cover-up plot of the research. JURIC field agents prior to the lockdown have reported that a white slithering creature erupted at Tesugra District, or more specifically from Alyana Ulyari's room in Apartment B-2. Our agents noted a few weaknesses in the subsequent attack, all before the communication was cut down throughout the island. Among them is that the Coomritch is more oblivious to assault rifle rounds (5.45x39 rounds, 7.5 FK), yet easily harmed by burning, or explosive reactions. The experiment was also reported to directly swallow living beings alive, save for those fighting back, who were often killed and left alone uneaten. The subject can run up to a reported speed of 12 to 19 kmph and can camouflage in its surroundings to await its target.
However, the agents have also reported that our Mauser or battle rifle rounds can damage the subject's flesh, but it is hypothesized that it can slowly regenerate its parts after eating any targets. It has also been noted that any damage done within the creature can weaken its ability to run or utilize its organs, and can have its energy lost. Duly note that the research is supposed to be part of the Sansakan genetic CG experiment; the target can be distinguished from having tentacles, red horns, and red spines, as based on our agent's eye witness reports. It stands 6 feet tall, while a few others reported that it is around 5'9 in height. It has a great sense of hearing, which according to Agent Stovka at Ereno Park, it can hear the heartbeats of hiding victims and sense even the smallest rat. However, he hypothesized that a high pitch noise can help weaken the coomritch due to its high sense of hearing.
Our agents have also reported that a few eldritch that pops up whenever the creature goes, which can jump up to 8 feet high, and run at around 24 kmph. Our agents have noted the effectiveness of assault rifle rounds on killing these eldritch, which can be distinguished from its low 4 feet height and stands on 2 or 4 legs, as opposed to the target experiment which utilizes its tentacles. It also has 4 tentacles at its back, which it uses to strangle or stab its victims. These eldritch have also been noted for rushing at their target, and the ability to communicate and coordinate by making croaking noises. As reported, these eldritch may come alone or in swarms to kill their targets.
