cardfortress[FILTERED to Shibusen, the Agency, and the Watch]
[The camera focuses on Near, barely even visible in the dim lights coming from the monitors around him. He doesn't waste time with polite introductions or small talk before going straight to business.]
We have an emergency in our hands.
[The screen changes to footage of various Death City streets, as Diablo makes his way across them, slaughtering enough people in his path to paint the ground and building walls red. As the images keep changing, Near continues speaking, providing additional info.]
My calculations tell me that this new guest is approximately 20 feet tall, and I don't need to tell any of you how dangerous it appears to be. There is no specific modus operandi other than killing everything in its path, but it seems not to want to go into buildings, unless it's in pursuit of a victim.
[Case in point: the footage shows exactly the scenario Near has just described, with Diablo chasing a woman into a building, causing significant structural damage as he does so, and then returning to the streets, even more blood soaked than before.]
Whoever or whatever that is, it isn't just killing its victims: it's also eating their souls.
[He's sure they all know what that means and leads to.]
I will trace his movements through the surveillance system and keep you updated.
[And now he switches to PUBLIC. Near is as calm as always, and definitely unperturbed by the slaughter and gore happening outside: someone has to keep their cool. Inducing panic in others would be counter-productive.]
This is Near speaking. There is a killer on the loose. [A picture of Diablo, snapped from the cameras, pops up on the screen.]
Don't go outside under any circumstances, and if you are currently on the streets, seek shelter immediately. Do not approach and do not engage this individual in a fight. Following these indications should save your life.
