Time in the dreamlands is convoluted at best. So much so that the very physiology of its creatures is antagonistic to linear time — The black pharaoh of unknown Kadath

Perliminary Notes



First Impressions: Subject found unconscious in alley by a paramedic off duty. Subject is wearing robes and turban of yellow fabric. There is a tear in the lower adomen and what seems like a wound underneath, but no blood is present. Possibly the subject has been moved (will direct investigation towards that during autopsy)

From the first tape

Dr. Racquel Cantrell, thirteenth of march, 2015. Subject is one point eighty two meters and suffers from some severe hyper-hirsutism. eye lids appear to have been removed although no remnant cut is apparent. Lips have been removed as well equally without markings… whispering man you're creepy…

In my dreams I killed a demon. There I saw him garbbed in the clothes of the moors, but yet I saw his face, like that of a goat, with a grin to freeze the heart of men. He carried chained souls to hell in a ship at all without of the waters of the Douro, which ran far under it. I ran at it and therein pierced him with my spear, and his green eyes flashed at me even as his turban fell to reveal his horns.

Now I'm bound to see his corpse wherever I look. I burn it and it shows still. I quarter it and it ceases not to occur. My subjects do not see it, yet I do. I am cursed by evil, yet Evil have I defeated — from the journal of Don Afonso, the Founder

The second tape

Dr. Racquel Cantrell, thirteenth of march, 2015. For the record, the first recorder broke and I had to… what's this lump? noises of rustling fabric

I... well this was strange. silence for 10 seconds

They leaped as though they had hooves instead of feet, and seemed to wear a sort of wig or headpiece with small horns. Of other clothing they had none, but most of them were quite furry.

Notes on psycho-diagnostic of Dr. Racquel Cantrell, by Dr. Ephraim Waite

- What am I looking at? two laser flashes?

- Nope. The same laser flash twice in time. We collapsed the waveform of the light packet and managed to separate its time matrix information from the spacial one.

- I thought you brough me here to report on the corpses. — from the biografy of Dr. Aliane, ca. 2150

You look like you've seen a corpse- Go away, leave!- Comedy is deadThe subject appears to be infatuated by a dream delusion of monstruous men fighting in a ship. She has reported a worsening in the intensity of the dreams and an oppressive feeling while awake. Although she has not stated it, her erratic behaviour indicates some amount of paranoia or possibly hallucinatory episodes.Last interview, she has brought up feelings of dissociation and inhability to recognize the faces of the corpses she is put in charge of. While this is not uncommon in profesional coroners, her case seems to have underlying flavours of dementia.Surprisingly her symptoms bear some resemblance to some cases of religious hysteria from the beginings of the medieval dark ages. In particular, the way she describes the creatures she sees in the dreams is very close to description of satan in the catholic dogma. This is not surprising given the irish catholic upbringing of the subject.
