Report
Dragon
The child smiled. And frowned. And smiled. Do you understand? Do you now see the value of chaos? You were a tiny pattern entering a field of behemoth equations. You a microbe – they mastodons. Yet through chaos, you undermined their patterns. You were the free radical that disrupted the molecule as big as a black whole. But the end is only a beginning. We have more work for you. There is Filth in Agartha. Tokyo must be dealt with. You are needed. You are one of the chosen, the ones who will dive into the mouth of oblivion and choke it on its own tongue. None should envy you.
Illuminati
When we look back, we'll designate today as "The Game Changer." A prehistoric super-bitch revealed herself, the Filth entered Agartha, and a little girl and her teddy bear stood up to god mollusks on the edge of reality.
The talking heads are chattering. I've never seen them like this. We're putting you in a higher pay bracket. It's time to think forward. Think Tokyo. Think Lilith. Think "what the hell is really running Orochi?" There are bigger players, and they're entering the game. The coming days will decide who runs the gameboard when the shit fans stop spinning.
Feel the pressure? You better.

Templar
The Filth has entered Agartha. Lilith has revealed herself. Shadows the size of planets look at our world and lick their blasphemous chops. We are too dignified to tell all of history "I told you so," but...
The Illuminati do not realise they cannot control a world if it is destroyed. The Dragon lack the focus. It is up to us to lead the charge. You will have no time to rest upon your laurels. You are one of the chosen knights riding the end of days. We must plan for Tokyo. We must counter the enemy, for the enemy is showing its many faces. The game is most definitely afoot.
Graviora manent.
