Anomaly Log 1 - 2995/01/10 - 2995/01/11
Day 1:
[16:24] My team and I have begun looking for the anomaly known as Bigbear by locals; reported on the outskirts of [REMOVED], it seems that this creature is a cross between a bear, a sloth, and an ape. Witness reports state that it is 20 feet tall and is hostile on sight. They also state that it snuck up on them, which is hard to believe given the size. My team will be scouting for footprint at dawn the next day. While the team starts getting prepared, I will be in my quarters for the rest of the night resting, being that I haven't felt my pillow in a fortnight.Day 2:
[04:11] My team is still preparing but I have been awoken by a shriek of a creature Northside of our outpost. I will try to get more rest and awaken when my team arrives back to home base. [14:35] My team has not yet returned and I am starting to worry about their safety, I am thinking of going out to look for them, but I am not sure who from the group to bring with me; I might go alone. [18:00] I have decided to go at it alone, I will be taking my journal just in case something were to happen. It is currently 18:00, or 6:00pm current time; will write down my findings. [??:??] Out of everything I forget my watch, looks around 19:00-ish. I have been following my team's tracks for a while now, they went farther than I would have liked. It also seems that Ricardo has dropped his flare since I found it on the ground next to a stump. [20:??] I have located their campsite and it seems that they left in a hurry because they left their belongings. They can not be far. [21:??] I have located what I believe is the creature. It was deeper in the forest and lives in [REMOVED]. My feet are sore and it was a tough journey, but no sign of my team anywhere. I am in a tree currently spying on the creature, sketching it. It resembles a Megatherium but seems a bit taller. I believe an appropriate name to call him is Gigantotherium or Gigatherium.Day 3:
[05:??] It seems I have dozed off in this tree and I have lost sight of the creature. I found my team, they seemed to be stuck in the cave with the creature waiting for it to fall asleep. The creature seems to not have a strong sense of it's surroundings. I am going to try to get them out. In the event that this book is lost of stolen, please send it to the king of Capurolino.Day 5:
[7:54] It appears that I have been in a coma for a couple days now; the beast got me good. I have lost my left leg and I have also lost a team member to it. It seemed all straight forward, until it wasn't. The beast somehow was able to sink into the floor and go invisible and it is fast. Faster than anything I have seen. I have never felt more alive, but also never felt more terrified. It hit me with one quick motion and that's the last I remember. My surviving team members told me they used fire to get the beast in the [REMOVED] it resides in and was able to trap it in there. It should be stuck in there and not bothering the locals for quite a while. Other than that, it seems to be sensitive to light. I will be reporting my findings to the capital once I get home and cash out my paycheck. The rest of team feels just as terrified but are willing to follow me to our next mission, wherever it is.Dr. Laura Bridge;End Of Report
