Addendum.4566.6: Interview With Lucas Stenholm

CONFIDENTIAL

Date: December 30th 1986
Interviewer: Dr. Porter
Interviewee: Lucas Stenholm

[BEGIN LOG]

Dr. Porter: Hello, my name is Dr. Porter and I’ll be your interviewer today, is that okay with you?

Lucas Stenholm: Yeah, sure.

Dr. Porter: So, where do we start, yes, where did you go when you disappeared?

Lucas Stenholm: I went to that other place, the Darkness.

Dr. Porter: What’s the Darkness?

Lucas Stenholm: It’s like this void of nothingness, absolute nothingness.

Dr. Porter: Is it like a dimension or a non-dimension?

Lucas Stenholm: I would say it’s more like a pocket-dimension, that’s just my best guess though.

Dr. Porter: How did it feel like?

Lucas Stenholm: It felt like…like nothing.

(Lucas seems to get upset)

Dr. Porter: Are you okay?

Lucas Stenholm: I mean literal nothingness, can you even comprehend that?

Dr. Porter: Well, uhh, no I can’t. Can we move on?

(Lucas wipes his eyes)

Lucas Stenholm: Sure.

Dr. Porter: So, what do you think of Opaque?

Lucas Stenholm: What the hell do you think, my family was killed by it.

Dr. Porter: I, I didn’t know, I’m terribly sorry.

Lucas Stenholm: Can we like not talk about what happened there?

Dr. Porter: No, sorry, I can’t do that. Well then, next question, do you know anything about the Aímatics?

Lucas Stenholm: Well, the things I know are a bit weird. They sacrifice people and shit, at least from what I’ve heard, and they do believe in some sort of magic. Weird right.

Dr. Porter: Do you know if they have any kind of abilities?

Lucas Stenholm: Wait, do you guys actually believe in this?

Dr. Porter: Yes, we have certain evidence that they are responsible for incident Olympic.

Lucas Stenholm: What the fuck. How could they even do that? why would they do that?

Dr. Porter: We don’t know yet, the only thing we know for certain is that they did some ritual that spawned Opaque.

Lucas Stenholm: Shit, I think my friend was an Aímatic, he always told me about the old ones, and some other beings as well. Wait…Guys, I don’t think this isn't the worst that the Aímatics have to offer, he told me that the old ones are coming to save them by destroying us. Why would he do that?

Dr. Porter: I don’t know, well, that’s all the time we had for today, thank you for your cooperation, you can go back to your cell now.

What the hell are you guys thinking, Operation Downfall doesn’t do shit! It’s only deposing of useful personnel. Like, I know that I’m new here, but what the actual fuck are you guys thinking. Why torture them, what does that do?

We do what we do because we must, do you want this thing to get out, do you? No? I didn’t think so. Do you think we want to do this? No? Well, we don’t, I won’t report this to the O5 because you’re new here, I get it, but the next time you write something like this I’m going to report it to the O5, and trust me, you don’t want that.

Did you read the interview? Because I think that we should worry about the Aímatics, they have at least some power over general stuff, but what that guy, Lucas I think, said that there is worse to come, I think that the AC5 needs to prepare for this.
