[OOC: This transmission is sent directly into the mind of everyone the caster designates, which at this point is pretty much every character in Manhattan unless Harry would have a good reason not to, and the major NPC’s like those working in the supply center. Also, feel free to listen to this song while reading. Finally, the kido does allow people to respond, so feel free to comment via voice post]
Hello people of Manhattan, my name is Harry Dresden. I am currently communicating to you through a spell cast by Captain Hitsugaya Toshiro. I’m sorry for intruding in your thoughts like this, but at this moment I don’t have any other choice.
As some of you may know, a little over a week ago a group of individuals intercepted a collection of files being transported by our captors. These files contained, among other things, the answers so many of us have been looking for.
The initial attack on the city, the creation of the giant monsters that have devastated it, and the abduction of people from other dimensions has all been perpetrated by a group calling itself the Tagruato Corporation. This group stumbled upon a formula for a chemical that can transform normal humans into those creatures that have attacked us, a method of controlling the creatures, and a means of brining in test subjects from other realities with which to use it on.
It seems that whatever its advanced technologies, however, Tagruato is about as efficient as any other large corporation, and they failed to anticipate the existence of certain counter measures capable of halting the transformation. Now they’re getting desperate, and have issued an ultimatum. If they do not gain 100 monsters within six months they are to simply eliminate all trace of their experiment. That’s a polite way of saying they intend to murder every man, woman, and child in this city. However, first they have to destroy our method of reversing the effects of the transformation, and should they fail, they will strike in three weeks time. The order was given roughly two weeks ago.
It is my belief that the air raid sirens at the beginning of the week were a message. They have not succeeded in destroying our means of protecting ourselves, and it is my belief that now they intend to destroy us.
I know what I’m trying to tell you is hard to take, and that you are all already tired, hurt, scared, angry, and have been pushed to the limits of what any being could be expected to endure. Many of you have seen your home destroyed, and the rest have been torn from yours. Our powers have been weakened, our food and tools stolen, and the only people trying to help us on the outside have been silenced. There is no rescue coming people, as of this moment, all we have is each other.
There is, however, one thing they cannot take from us, and that is our ability to chose to fight back. These are not gods we are facing, nor monsters, or even armies. This is a slushy company, run by men, greedy men who sit in lofty towers and treat those under them as mere tools to become even richer. They are willing to murder children to get what they wish, to burn an entire city just for profit, and these men are seeking to create an army of unstoppable monsters under their command.
That is why I’m asking more from all of you than you may have ever been asked before. This is bigger than simply our survival, than simply going home or getting revenge. If they succeed in silencing us here, what’s going to stop them from trying this again somewhere new? Innocent people from every possible reality are in danger from these experiments, and that is why we have to make sure that this does not happen again, that the people who died here didn’t die for nothing.
Some of you are heroes where you come from, some healers, leaders, followers, warriors, scientists, explorers, average civilians, or even villains, but none of that matters anymore. All of us have had our lives torn from us, and if we are going to get them back we need each other. We have to set aside the disputes and differences that have divided to stand together, because right now we’re all each other has. Outsider, native, demon, human, hero, villain, none of it makes a difference, because at this moment we are one thing, we are the citizens of Manhattan, a city that has always accepted all who seek its shelter. We’re together.
We have already accomplished amazing things together here, have already ruined our captor’s plans without even truly knowing what is going on, and now I truly believe we can win. Inside each and every one of us is the potential to make a difference, the power to win the day, and together, we’re going to give those pencil pushing slushy makers the kind of fight they could never have imagined. The leaders of every major faction and organization in this city should meet to see what we can do to prepare, and each individual should take the time to gather what defenses they can.
We will strive to continue to make these transmissions to keep everyone informed of what is going on. Remember, you are not alone.
