MOD EVENT POST
All teams have decided to share their footage and/or findings during routine supplies missions. It was compiled in chronological order and posted to the Bulletin Board for everyone to see.
Arrival Footage:
Attack Footage:
Reset Room Footage:
Mass Grave Footage:
Biologist Notes:
Arrival Footage:
All over the world - in the middle of busy streets, empty homes, department stores - red dirt blew in and fell haphazardly into centralized mounds. The dirt settled. The footage begins as someone gets as close as they dare, zooming in and out repeatedly, the camera shaking in their hand as they move. The Matured come first. They climb up and out as asphalt and tile no longer exist beneath the red dirt. The young and the shifting come next. A matured Sound Eater raises its hand and points. They attack. The device falls to the ground and the owner's scream is silenced.
Attack Footage:
In standard news report fashion, a series of videos were compiled by Wall Street Journal reporter Maria Fillian, and her voice can be heard describing what she's seeing. Starting with clips from BBC News, LA Times, USA Today, The Washington Post, and even Google, the footage shows the Sound Eaters attacking Paris, London, Los Angeles, New York, and other cities - both big and small. Police and military forces are brought in but are no match for the Sound Eaters. They attack anyone and everything, seemingly at random and with brutality, leaving nothing moving in their wake. What was supposed to be a fight becomes a rescue and survival mission, groups of people evacuating and heading for less populated areas.
As the footage comes to an end, Maria focuses in on a clip from Times of India. A group of Young Sound Eaters are swarming and killing in any way that they can, completely ignoring a young boy who stands in the middle of the crowd frozen in fear. He doesn't move and they don't attack him.
Look at the way they avoid the boy. Why are they leaving him alone? Is it because he's a child and not a threat? It's clear that the reporter isn't sure but believes it's important. Wait. There. Did you see that? Now what was once a crowd of over a thousand, is down to the boy, the Sound Eaters and a woman kneeling on the ground. She rewinds the footage and plays it back. The Sound Eaters stand there aimlessly, breathing heavily, waiting for something and then the woman yells for the child to run and all the Sound Eaters converge on her. Maria gasps. They can't see.
The footage ends.

Reset Room Footage:
The attacks have begun to spread out, giving some survivors the chance to group up in areas outside of the major cities. A woman, using the webcam on her laptop, is recording the inside of a Macy's. While her and her group were looking for supplies before heading to her family's cabin, they noticed the red dirt in the men's clothing department. The footage pans from left to right slowly, showing how the floors and walls of that corner of the store are completely covered. One member of their group sticks their hand down into the dirt and yells back that the floor is gone. Rather, that where they should be able to find tile it's just dirt. The battery dies before anything else is filmed.
Mass Grave Footage:
By this time, the 7.442 billion people in the world has been knocked down to less than a million, spread out and all in hiding. Some have come to realize that sound attracts the invaders and others have not. The recording starts out zoomed in way too close to a group of pigeons that were all (violently) killed. The footage pans out and the person recording follows a trail of dead that leads to a mass grave. Carefully, they hold the camera up so that it can film quickly - inside are people, animals, radios, wind chimes, and many other bits of tech and machinery. The footage ends abruptly.
Biologist Notes:
From a bunker, Hendricks has recorded notes and opinions on the Sound Eaters, Reset Room, and the apocalypse. The recordings are corrupt, but some has been cleaned up enough to be read and watched. It's clear from the beginning that Hendricks believed that the 'end' was inevitable and had made preparations for this. He has a French accent and there are notes describing how the Sound Eaters are attracted to noise and have built a nest at the Eiffel Tower. Since the recording cuts in and out, it's unclear as to why he makes all of his assumptions. The native who compiled everything for the Bulletin Board, has written out what he could (Hendricks questions and comments), and it plays across everyone's devices.
- The Sound Eaters and Reset Rooms came at the same time.
- Hendricks is alone and possibly unwell.
- The Matured are in charge but rarely come out or if they do, they are better at hiding.
- The shifting are grotesque.
- The young are violent and lash out at anything.
- The Sound Eaters kill and attack everything; animals, cars, people.
- If it makes noise, they go for it.
- Their methods have changed.
- What was once an all out attack has become more calculated as people have learned to hide and be quiet.
- People are coming out of the red dust.
- Everything has grown so quiet.
- Even the crickets are gone.
- I'm alone now.
They seem to need us, but they don't want us.

I thought maybe some kind of EMP was involved that took down our devices, but we didn't feel anything, so it's unlikely.
no subject
Thanks for sharin' that. It's creepy as hell, but it's better than nothing.
no subject
Don't mention it, Sir. I want to do everything I can to destroy these creatures.
no subject
What I don't get is how come it's so damn difficult to snap a blurry photo with these devices, but they ain't have any problem catching 'em on all that footage.
[ Like wtf. Did they all have a group meeting and decide they were camera shy? Was it something about the devices, and themselves?
why ]
no subject
It was during the rain and we were a few hundred feet away. If I had to take a guess, that would be why we were able to capture them on film.
no subject
[ have you ever tried to take a picture of a bird in the grass with these dumb phones 9S HAVE YOU
it was terrible ]
Not that I'm suggesting you all try to pick another fight with 'em. I mean, we both know how that ends.
no subject
What good would a camera be if we don't know when to take the photograph? I guess there's the possibility that a film camera wouldn't be effected by whatever it was that took down our devices, but still...
[It just doesn't sound reasonable!]
We don't have any current plans to confront the Sound Eaters directly.
no subject
Anyway, all that's kinda besides the point since we don't have anything like that in the first place.
no subject
I bet if we asked the natives, they might know where to find a film camera.
no subject
Now that ya mention it, though, you'd need bait for something like that. Back when Rosa-chan opened up the route on Rue Lafayette, we found this thing like a noisemaker. But I'm sure they took it apart by now.
sorry for the delay! I've been swamped
Really, you should leave it to an android like me! The reset room is way too risky.
np!
[ This was... mostly true? Majima wasn't suicidal, but he also seemed to have a fascination with the potentially deadly -- either that or his sense of danger had eroded so far recently that his actions were sometimes baffling. ]
But that goes for you too, don't it? You might now show back up in the Room, either.

So let's say we were gonna try and catch or film a Sound Eater, somethin' like that. You'd wanna help out?
