DD# 249 Containment Breach, Incident Report: 2025-Halloween
Warning! Containment Breach ongoing. The Anomalous Outbreak known as the Hallowen Event is currently out of control globally. Unlike the previous years, it will automatically end after October.31, it's prophesied that it will continue all the way to Nov.3rd, your local time this year.
Misinformation operations are currently underway to lead civilians to consider all anomalous items and entities they encounter as normal. Amnestics will be applied afterward to correct the historical record of this event.
Anomalous encountered this year:
1, The Cat Box
Multiple reports indicate abnormal global growth in the cat population.
After investigation, an anomalous toy known as the Cat Box has been discovered, sold by various vendors worldwide.
However, said vendors do not know where they came from. The civilian population, mostly kids, has purchased those toys and deployed them for fun.
Currently, the toy has caused traffic jams in many big cities as streets are filled with cats.
If left alone, they can likely cause a world-ending scenario, as reality cannot hold so many cats.
"Well, that's actually a very cute way to end the world. :3" --- Agent Alic[Emergently Redacted]
2, Strange Painting
The image was found during a raid of a warehouse that contains the Cat Box. It seems to depict the nature of the Cat Box, showing a likely source for those cats before they jump into reality. Such paintings are often sold along with the Cat Box. Its origin is currently also unknown.
3, Curse Pumpkin Grenade
During the traditional trick & treat stage of the Halloween Event. Multiple residents who refused to give kids treats reported they were attacked by a pumpkin grenade, which revealed the most horrible nightmare of them. Field tests indicate that such grenades can also cause fear in non-sentient beings and even supernatural entities.
Notably, we also discovered that the dark pumpkin shape and sounds unleashed when used are generated by Elon Musk's Grok AI. A feature none of the recorded anomalies possessed before.
4, The Dark Pumpkin Virus
The cyber department continued to investigate the connection between Elon Musk and the grenades. It yields no results. However, they discovered a cyber memetic virus on the dark web. Machines cannot feel fear; isn't that fearful to machines?
The virus triggers a logical paradox and can cause fear even among machines. The Nise Federation is currently studying the sample, trying to weaponize it for its military operation on Jiru Island, which is presently facing an invasion of anomalous machine creatures.
5, Pumpkin Weapons
Anomalous weapons with pumpkin-themed designs have been spotted in military conflicts worldwide. Soldiers who possess such weapons do not know what they are doing or why they are using them in gunfights. But they can efficiently instill fear in their foes through unknown meanings.
6, Increased Pumpin Entity Activities
During the Halloween Event, Site-[Redacted], Site-[Redacted], and Site-[Redacted] are currently under attack by Pumpkin Entities. Agents travel via the service of Wonderland Travel Agency, which also reports a significant increase in Pumpkin Entities globally. Caution is advised to all operatives who currently undertake field missions. However, we also received reports that certain groups of interest are currently actively attacking the pumpkins. They claim those pumpkins can drop all kinds of Halloween-themed anomalous items, including the ones mentioned above. They sent us a message, "Happy Genocide! --- D.C. Al Fine"
7, Pumpkin Head
The anomaly was discovered when an agent was cornered by pumpkins. In panic, he put on a very big pumpkin nearby on his hat to cover his entire head. It somehow successfully fooled his attackers. The pumpkin entities seem not to attack anyone who just looks like them.
We also received a report from Egypt. Dr. Kyofu has made a breakthrough in one of her horrific experiments. Pumpkins can be used to create very unique persona masks.
Currently, the organization's resources can barely hold the veil in this ongoing outbreak.
But we are not alone. During the careers of many of our agents, they made many friends and connections. They are now sharing their superior magic knowledge to improve our agents' element proficiency.
Among them are:
The disgraced steward of the Dark Elf King, Kohemuken himself!
He is still holding quite a racist view of mankind, seeing humanity as usurpers of this world.
But he certainly prefers this world not to end that soon. Thus, he agrees to train our agents of the Dark element as long as they can pay him with curse stones. He has no interest in man-made currencies.
Lady Inquisitor Erysea Shaper of the Nise Federation.
She is surprisingly good at earth magic, even though we had no previous records of her expertise in such a field. Some of our agents report she may even be more powerful than those archmages in the Mages Guild. It raises a question. Who is she, exactly?
With their help, we are quite certain everything will soon be under control.
The priority will then shift back to monitoring the development on Jiru Island afterwards.
Happy Halloween!
