Squard Containment Cult

The Squard Containment Cult is an organized task force who all pledged their allegiance to a potential eldritch being. Even though they worship and give him sacrifices, they do recognize his great power and have vowed to contain him to both protect the world and force him to spend more time with his fanboys/followers. Their current operations are in the Twin Hotel Complex. It is unknown who knows about this secret cult in the darkest parts of the hotels.

## Squard

The gigantic, invisible hive mind locked in the SCC's containment gates who has decided its name to be Squard. The only way to communicate without your body be brutally torn apart, having your mild melt, or letting him leave his cell, is through his Avatars. While Squard himself is hostile toward humanity, the Avatars seem to be more like friendly or neutral ambassadors.

Squard Avatar

To facilitate communication to the SCC, the Squard uses multiple avatars of itself to take different forms and talk to operatives and cultists of SCC. Avatars themselves are considered allies, trying to help the SCC to understand Squard's goals and objectives, and to not let it suddenly breach containment and wreak havoc. The current known forms are known as "Dancing Kettle" and "Blue Vort".

The Kettle's only form of communication is interpretive dance and crude drawings. Through these drawings, however, the SCC has accrued the only known visual representation of Squard. The Kettle for some undecipherable reason enjoys spending time with Squard inside of his cage.

Blue vort is very "chill" as it calls itself. It often is seen drinking beer and talking with the scientists outside of the containment cell.

## Squard Containment Cult

Squard's well-used cell. Note that the message was not created by the SCC.

Currently Squard is held by two outward power-exerting (OPE) fields. These are enough to contain him, but if the power were to ever fluctuate in the hotels, there would be an easy containment breach for him. According to power records, he has also been able to both leech and contribute to the fields, which has the researches both intrigued and concerned for future containment.

The sacrifices used are a mix of mostly unwilling individuals and the hotel's wrongdoers. Janitors are not allowed inside (since they'd definitely get the Squard treatment), unless they themselves are a sacrifice.

## Squard Containment Cult

The last containment unit lays in ruins.

It is not revealed as of current time as to what lead the SCC to discover Squard, but it is known they contain him in the Twin Hotel Complex. The first facility sadly didn't last long, as a containment breach happened after a massive group of birds built nests in both the backup generators and the main power grid. After this disaster, the SCC built a new facility with researchers to study Squard, including a feeding barracks to appease its tastes, and finally its own holding cell.
