An apt day and apt incident number for today's events. While testing the quantum stabilizer for field testing a breach was made. As to where this 'gate' for lack of a better word goes, if anywhere, is a mystery. Sadly two of the interns where devoured when this... mishap occurred. Human resources has been notified and a gift basket will be sent to their families along with my condolences. Furthermore, Mr.Cufiler has requested, demanded even, that we continue on schedule.

Truly astonishing, for the last 4 months of testing this anomaly has grown increasingly stable. There has been several accidents with the staff and one that almost cost me my life. However I feel we are getting close towards a brighter future for all mankind to share in. The only unsettling thing is it will open on its own and deposit what seems like random objects. Per the Directors orders, no one but me knows what this thing is doing. If I'm being honest, slight dread fills me with every day observing this despite my best efforts. I have also put in my transfer request to be moved to a dif- {Data corrupted}

The explosion that devoured the rest site left a black orb that gave off an eerie light. This incident that devoured the world of all other light save the soft blue haze that lingered for but a moment. What followed could only be described as hell. Fathers, mother's, friends, siblings, and co-workers alike changed into beings once thought to be fantasy. Dragons, Griffin, werebeasts, and creatures of the sea. They could shift from this form to a more human one, save for defining features like ears. Many also held unique powers akin to magic.

Shorty after these "shifters ", as governments and media outlets were calling them, emerged the crime rate skyrocketed. From petty theft to murder and violent take overs of countries. Humanity formed together against these "shifters" in the organization now called the Hunters Society. These elite soldiers slowly began to fight back. Pushing the shifters in their new place. Below Humanity. However these hunters began to experiment with the corpses of the shifters and found they could gain power from their blood. Of course none of this is public knowledge.

Now, fifty years later, the Hunters Society is the ruling body in many countries. The stigma against shifters is getting worse as they commit crimes many times, just to stay alive. None dare openly use many forms of magic, and even less chose to be in their new natural forms. However this isn't the only fracture in the world. Within humanities darkness there is hope. Some countries opened prisons to house shifters who commit crimes and surrender peacefully. And so with countries so to with man. There are those within that believe they can gain enough power from those who chose to die. So they take the others in. Then the rest believe in a pure humanity again and seek to eliminate all shifters
