MAG 0.2: Pre-Launch Trailer

The Magnus Institute's new Archivist makes his first attempt to record a statement. 
== Pre-Statement ==
Jonathan Sims has been struggling to record certain statements because of severe distortions. He has unearthed an old tape recorder and is making a test recording of an old fragmented statement to see if the archaic technology has better luck than digital recordings. The statement comes from someone named Jacob, no second name given.
== Statement ==
"It'll get you too. You can stare all you want. Make your notes and your enquiries. But all your beholding will come to nothing. When the time arrives, and all is darkness and butchery, you'll wish you had stopped listening and run."
== Post-Statement ==
John considers the statement too fragmentary to be useful but asks Elias Bouchard to let him know if the recording was successful, in which case they can start recording the rest of the statements. 
== Continuity ==
*The statement refers to several entities: The Eye, The Dark, and possibly The Flesh, The Slaughter, or The Hunt. 
*It may also be foreshadowing the completion of The Mass Ritual in MAG 160.
*In MAG 80, Jurgen Leitner mentions one of his assistants, Jacob Feng, who fell victim to a pamphlet called A Disappearance. The pamphlet may be related to The Lonely; notably, the pamphlet's powers of hiding seem directly opposed to the powers of The Eye. It is not yet clear if Jacob Feng is the same Jacob who made this statement.
