Dialogue
Initial Cutscene
- Helen Bannerman: Well. Sure wasn't in our yearly budget to put the town under martial law. No, the good old boys on the council were all about thrifty spending – at least above the table. So I squirrelled away where I could for some surveillance equipment. Police business, sure, let's call it “civic awareness.” I'm talking your web cams, your motion sensors- Aw, don't look so surprised. Kingsmouth might be out in the sticks, but we have electricity and everything. Running water in tourist season. Come back when this whole damn mess has blown over, I'll give you the tour far as the old lighthouse. But to get to the point of it. Seems to me we should bring the gear out of the mothballs and get it hooked up around town. Gives me some early warning, and the others a break from my collection of Jeopardy reruns.

Report
Dragon
Very well,
Data from these cameras is being transferred to important monitors. Eyes will be assigned to watch these monitors at all times. Now the Dragon will see our enemies in Kingsmouth, as well as the enemies of our enemies - the Templars and the Illuminati.
The cleaning man - he showed symptoms of a very rare, very old disease. He was not like the living, and not like the dead. Tentacles do not come from the head without reasons.
Please provide more information about reasons.
Illuminati
Good news,
Data from your surveillance system is now feeding into our server. This means we have visual contact with the enemy and can make more detailed assessments of the situation. It also means I can keep tabs on you.
The janitor in the basement showed signs of a strange tentacular mutation. Disgusting, frankly. It's not clear if he boobytrapped his surroundings to protect himself or to try and protect others. Regardless, it was clever, and that's not something we like to see from our enemies.
Keep me posted on all tentacle-related phenomena.

Templar
Good news,
The camera system you've installed is up and running on our end as well. It is tactically useful for the local officers to see incoming threats. However, we are particularly keen to analyse visual data of the enemy from an R&D perspective.
The janitor you encountered showed symptoms of an unfamiliar infection. There were signs of humanity in the midst of his tentacular mutation. We hesitate to classify him without more data.
