The Horrorscope - Episode 50: Eclipse Part 5: Stone Ocean

This really is the worst luck, says Wasa. Fuck! says Kei. You keep tracking that van. I’ll try to track their movements from the sewers to where they came from, maybe I can find some answers like that, Since the pictures with their covered faces doesn’t help, says Mary. You do that, says Wasa as he keeps tracking the van and Kei keeps pacing around behind him. A blood curdling scream is heard from down the hall. You two stay, Wasa tells Ken and Mary. As him, Phenos and Kei start running towards the scream that just won’t stop. What the fuck, says Ram as he sees Telum standing over N, as N keeps screaming. What the fuck did you do? Wasa asks Telum. I’m sorry boss, but I had to do something, I couldn’t just sit in that room anymore, says Telum as he stretches his arm out with a bloody neck in the palm of his hands. No wonder N couldn’t speak, he had the throat of a pig, says Telum. What the fuck, says Kei. But then why wouldn’t he write? asks Wasa. If you were to beat me, I wouldn’t tell you things either, honestly, says Telum. But how? It doesn’t make sense? says Kei. Maybe whatever they used ten years ago to kill a billion people changed the whole structure of your body, and with him, it just failed or misfired, says Telum. But how did they target it so specifically? says Kei. You’ll have to catch whoever killed a billion people ten years ago to find that out, says Telum.

Take him to the infirmary, Wasa tells Phenos. Do you have anything to tell us before Ram takes you to a cell this time, and rip someone else’s head off or rip their throats out? Wasa asks Telum. No, not that I know of, says Telum. I need you to talk to N, once he is healed, okay? Wasa asks Kei. Okay, says Kei as they all head back to check on Ken and Mary. Pincer meets them at the door. All calls done, says Pincer. Good, says Wasa. I found something, says Mary as she opens they open the door. What did you find? Wasa asks. I tracked them to one of their apartments. And from there I went and followed the other one to her place and now we have both their addresses. But nothing that would ID either of the two kidnappers, says Mary. That’s great, says Wasa. No, it’s not, says Kei. Why not? asks Phenos. Because we still don’t know shit, Kei says as he paces around frantically. But we do. I followed the van and we have a third address and this time, we have two names with it. Because I got camera footage of its license plate and because it was a house it went to, says Mary. Okay and? asks Kei. And I got to know everything about those two names. Their workplace, hobbies, past records, love life, everything we’d need to track them and take them down. And I think we’ll figure out who those two are that way too. But for that I need more time, to go through his socials, says Mary. You do that, says Wasa.

I think I found something, says Ken. What? asks Wasa. I looked at transmitters and quickly found some. And I noticed how they had the same pattern of movement every day for a week. But when I looked back at today, it’s like they haven’t moved at all. So, I looked at the position they were stuck in. And they are all pointing in one specific direction. I looked up the number to the closest dish to us, we can call them to see what’s happening, says Ken. Please, says Wasa. Come, we need to finish tracking those two, says Kei as he tugs on Wasa. Okay, okay, be patient, says Wasa. As they follow the two in the van around, Kei suddenly remembers something. I know this zone, says Kei as Wasa pauses. What do you mean? he asks. There is something here. I know I just visited this place. I just can’t put my finger on it, now, says Kei. Got it, says Ken. What? asks Wasa. It seems that I was right. Their system got overwritten yesterday during their normal maintenance hours. They tried shutting it all down, but it seems that they’re completely out of luck. Even cutting the power to it is a no go, says Ken as he gets interrupted. But what is the direction? asks Kei. It’s this, says Ken as he puts the coordinates into the computer. Of course that’s the answer. It’s the stone in the ocean, says Kei.
