The reporter grumpily muttered to herself as she climbed through the ruin. She had come to this site to get a scoop on the mysterious yet essential event, but the guards had been about as talkative as a bunch of rocks.

Well, I'm Monstercat and I'm going to tell you my story, all the facts, and hopefully change your minds about me. So, let's start from the beginning..."
