Agent #82 here. I guess this is a bit of an embarrassment on my behalf. Why, I'll get to in a second in my debriefing.
I was sent on a dead-drop mission two days ago. I thought it was going to be the same old, boring "Retrieve deliver" sort of assignment. I wish it was! I mean, it's not everyday a package decides to try bite your hand off. Or, well I guess, in our line of work, it's to be expected? I don't know, but sorry I'm getting off track.
So as I rolled onto the gravel road, and got towards the designated drop point, I noticed the leaves were trampled around it, though I didn't make anything of it back then. Inside the hollow tree (Honestly guys. Can't we get a more obvious drop point? Don't you guys, have any originality?) there was a square package, like described in my assignment. And as I reached inside the tree, something, peculiar, happened. The package, opened up its mouth, filled with square teeth, and bit my hand! Ok maybe not my whole hand, but I swear, that fucker bit hard! I still have marks after it!
Anyway, startled I quickly pulled my hand back. And as I did, the little package-thing creature, jumped out, then made a mocking sort of scream, or laughter, or whatever. It's mouth spanning across it, like its square body, was made of two parts and held together with hinges! As you know, I have some experience in the field; I've picked up my share of boxes, crates, and other items. Yet I've never seen anything like this, but I'm sure it's organic. Because after that happened it started morphing!
The little thing transformed in front of me, and as I was frantically trying to get hold of my revolver, the thingamajig had gotten a pear like shape, two legs, and weirdest of all, two tentacle like arms, though no eyes, lest were some sort of microscopic organ, that was too small to make out in the moonlight. The mouth, or what I assumed was its mouth, were now a hole with two feelers sticking out, and three square teeth on its jaws. But what struck me as odd was that it inside its mouth, had a sort of dark, black orb. Like as if was a miniature black hole. I swear that the dim light from the moon disappeared inside it.
Anyway, as I stood there stupefied, the thing turned around, and made a sprint towards the nearby town. I ran after it of course, but, well. It soon disappeared. Uhm, sorry about that. The worst part is, after I started asking around the office, I think I can link it to Case A32, the case about that new crazy cult that's springing up here and there. The similarities in the stone tablets that some of our agents recovered, to that creature we found? And for that matter, the vanishing packages some other couriers have reported? I think I'm starting to see a trace here. And I think, that this cult, knows of us, which is bad new, obviously.
So yea I lost a package, but I think they are setting up some traps. I'll bring a net, just in case, next time I'm going on a dead drop assignment though. If you guys on the top think it's worth investigating, look in that hollow tree again. You might find some trace of it, or something.
