Project Holy Cradle

The **Project Holy Cradle** sought to use the effects of Distortion of Spiral Hypnosis as a tool for the study of the spiral symbol and your effects. Conducted from the archaeological findings of **Eva van Gloss** on the island Heilag Vagga and headed by **Eric Jour**, the project followed the determinations of Deconjuration Order and had your operational base established in the vicinity of the city of Carpazinha, a weakened veil place. In addition to these scientists, the team also consisted of **Valter Luz**, **Paula Verdante** and **Mick Vultz**.

## Operating Base

* Batista's House on Terçalho Freitas Road, in Carpazinha in Rio Grande do Sul.

## Subject

1. Ingrid Volkomenn
2. Theraphosidae
3. *Rattus rattus*
4. Black Death Carrion

## Dr. Eric Jour's diary about the project

### "Initiation - October 7, 2019

**"Starting here my personal diary related to the project HC headed by me, Dr. Eric Jour, based on the archaeological findings of Dr. Eva van Gloss.**

**Complementary team:**

**Dr~~. Mick Vultz , 51 - Civil engineer~~**

**Dr. ~~Paula Verdante, 37 - Agronomist engineer and zootechnician~~**

**Dr. Valter Luz, 42 - ~~Medicine~~**

**We found the operational team for the project HC. Historical events, local legend and social isolation determine ~~the perfect conditions for our work.~~**

**Local criminal data also indicate little government efficiency, which gives us a comfortable space to ~~perform the necessary actions until any relevant authority begins an investigation.~~**

**The next few days will be installation and ~~adaptation to life without technology,~~ then we will start ~~cataloging the HC tests~~.**

**This is the beginning of the future."**

The first of many pages from Eric Jour's Diary, in which he reports on the progress of the Project HC, with previously unknown objectives, based on a finding by Eva Van Gloss.

On this page, three other doctors are mentioned as members of the complementary team, two of them having their name and specializations hidden, and another with only the specialization visible.

Eric Jour reports having found the perfect base for his project, the Batista's House, which, due to the local legend of the Doctor Lunatic and the isolation from the rest of the town of Carpazinha, made it the perfect place to carry out the research.

### "Unforeseen - October 8, 2019"

**"The night before was more intense than we expected. A gang of local bikers seems to use ~~this ground for actions~~ much more rudimentary than ours.**

**Studying the location and entities found, ~~it looks like~~ they maintain some kind of ~~torture club using the weakening of~~ the veil for entertainment.**

**Typical of what would be expected of the ruralists of this region. ~~Dr. Mick claims to already be providing~~ a strategy to bribe them and avoid ~~trouble. It's not like~~ we need to save money."**

On the second of the pages, a day after the first, the scientists' first contact with the Haunteds is reported, a biker gang that used the same place as a shelter. Upon exploring the mansion further, they discover the existence of a kind of torture club, where they used Blood Zombies as entertainment, kidnapping people, forcing them to fight with the creatures and making various bets to see who wins. Dr. Mick was devising a strategy to bribe the bikers and avoid getting into trouble, claiming that money would no longer be needed.

### "Analysis of veil fragmentation - October 15, 2019"

**"Initial tests of ~~PE radiation with the~~ mortal remains recovered by Dr. Valter ~~demonstrate a feedback~~ kinda promising, but not enough for ~~sustain the Project HC alone~~**

**~~I'm still worried about the situation with that~~ gang of vicious biker primates that we are forced to bribe. What we are making ~~here is~~ much bigger than ~~those worms.~~ ~~We are creating the future~~.**

**But their weapons are bigger than ours. Dr. Paula is optimistic and ~~suggested that in the~~ future they will be useful to us, ~~probably making~~ the dirty work of the kidnapping of the ~~necessary PE sources~~."**

Third page, in which Dr. Eric Jour reports the initial tests using PE radiation, emitted by the symbol under the remains of Virgulino Batista, which were recovered by Dr. Valter. Positive results were obtained, but not enough to sustain the entire Project HC alone.

They were still worried about the Haunteds' gang, described as "primates and damnables", which the scientists were forced to bribe. Despite their crude methods, the bikers were far more menacing than the doctors, leading Dr. Paula to believe that they could be used to hijack as many EP sources as necessary.

### "Dr. Eva ~~once more! - 28~~ October, 2019"

**"Praised be Dr. Eva van Gloss ~~and her finds! I knew that her archaeological nose would bring~~ another gift for us!**
Apparently she found a lost diary of the former residents. ~~The situation with that~~ creature ~~in the basement was getting way worrying,~~ I can’t sleep ~~right in over a week. But~~ that gives me time to calculate. Placing a shelf ~~in front of the door~~ helps muffle the sound."

**"I will check the information of Eva’s find. If what I presume that is recorded in this diary is correct, we can ~~abandon the experiments in these remains of decrepit~~ mortals and have a ~~source of energy that is infinite.~~ The Holy Cradle will prosper."**

The fourth page discusses the diary of Lurdete Batista, found by Dr. Eva while studying the house, and the guinea pig trapped in the basement (probably Virgulino), which made a lot of noise and disturbed the scientists sleep. Here is also the first citation of Holy Cradle.

### "Calculations - November 10, 2019"

**"The calculations are right. Everything is right. I did. And did it again. I don’t need to sleep, I need to keep calculating. Recalculating. Again and again."**

**"Another day calculating. Just one more. If they continue to work, ~~it will happen. The Holy Cradle will prosper. Our~~ Holy Cradle. We need to get the ~~sources of concentrated PE flow~~ tomorrow. Just another day of calculation."**

Between this page and the previous one there is an interval of a little less than a month, showing calculations and graphs around the entire page. Eric was obsessed with these calculations, staying awake to check that they were all correct, all to make sure everything turned out right in the end. On the next day, they would need to get the EP sources for Holy Cradle to prosper.

Here it is already discreetly possible to repair the spiral symbol already affecting the minds of the doctors, making them see the Dimensions Parasite as a Savior, a Holy.

### "Migration - November 12, 2019"

**"... It works as expected. Migration begins today. The Holy Cradle devours. It thrives. We will abandon the ... initial experiment must stay locked, let’s just keep the... hide the door to the basement.**

**A... waits, the future has just been created. All claim the Holy Cradle."**

Last diary page found in the Abandoned Mansion, with Eric Jour having his mind almost completely taken over by the influence of the Holy. He claims that his calculations work as expected, claiming that the migration to the Holy Cradle foundation around the cave depicted in Lurdete's Diary was going to take place that day.

They abandon their base of operations, leaving Subject 04 trapped in the basement, with the entrance hidden by a huge bookcase, as well as several padlocks and chains.

### "Internal Conflicts - November 23, 2019 - 4:32:54 PM"

**"Things have definitely gotten out of hand. The Builder was able to convince everyone else to actually abandon the studies and implement traditions and rites in order to make the next generations ignorant. How did ~~Eva~~ The Miner fall into this conversation? Forcing the future of Holy Cradle to ignorance so that they feel blessed, instead of searching and exploring more of the Other Side?"**

**If ~~our Saint~~ the PARASITE is powerful in this way only with proximity to the Crack, what else could we achieve? We can’t stop research. It’s for science."**

This was the penultimate page found, with things starting to get out of hand, as it says that Mick (now the Constructer), one of the Five Guardians, managed to convince all other guardians to abandon research and study and implement rites and traditions, in order to purposefully make the next generations ignorant.

Even Eva van Gloss (now the Miner) was convinced by the ideas to abandon research. But Eric (now the Blacksmith) couldn't understand why it would be beneficial to force their lack of knowledge so that they would feel blessed by the entity rather than researching and exploring the Other Side. He wonders what this PARASITE was capable of doing, since, just being close to the Rift, he was extremely powerful.

### "NO GOD. PARASITE. - DECEMBER 12, 2019 - 9:32:13 PM"

**"I AM THE BLACKSMITH. MICK CANNOT STEAL THIS FROM ME. THE TEAM HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. THEY DON’T REALIZE. ONLY I STILL REMEMBER. THE CRYSTAL OF HYPNOSIS. THEY ARE CONNECTED TO THE PARASITE. HOW THEY WERE STUPID ENOUGH TO ALLOW THEMSELVES TO TOUCH HIM."**

**"THE ~~HOLY~~ PARASITE DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO APPROACH. I HAD TO MARK THE GREAT SYMBOL IN ME TO BE ABLE TO GUIDE ME IN THE LABYRINTH."**

**"WE’RE SCIENTISTS. IT’S NOT A GOD. IT’S A PARASITE. MICK NEEDS TO REMEMBER THAT. THE SYMBOL IS STRONG. DON’T FORGET. I WILL CONFRONT MICK TODAY."**

**"WE MUST LEAVE OR DESTROY THE ORIGINAL PARASITE."**
**"IF MICK DENIES, I WILL EXPOSE HOLY CRADLE. I WILL FIND THE ORDER INVESTIGATORS AND SHOW HOW TO GET TO HOLY CRADLE."**
**"I JUST CAN NOT FORGET."**
**"I CAN’T LET THE SYMBOL MAKE ME FORGET."**
**"I’M GONNA LOCK UP THE LAB AND DESTROY THE OTHER KEYS. THEY CAN’T DESTROY THE WORK I DID."**

**"NO SAINT, PARASITE. PARASITE. PARASITE. ~~PARASITE~~. PARASITE. ~~PARASITE~~. PARASITE. PARASITE. PARASITE. PARASITE. PARASITE."**

Last page found from Eric Jour's diary, with things definitely getting out of hand. Eric seems to be the only one not completely swayed, trying to talk the other scientists into the true identity of the supposed "Holy", identifying him as the "Parasite". The other members of the team are said to have been completely connected to the other side through the crystal of hypnosis, while Eric struggled against the parasite's influence, slowly losing his sanity.

## Conclusion

The Project Holy Cradle was effective in establishing the distortion of spiral hypnosis through the influence of the paranormal creature known as "Parasite of Dimensions", which used the Potential Energy coming from the Wellsprings and from the village of Holy Cradle which was also founded by the team of scientists for this sole purpose.

However, the control exercised by the creature went beyond what was expected by Five Guardians, which made researchers submissive to your influence and unable to continue studies on the spiral symbol and your effects. Because only Dr. Eric was able to show greater resistance to the creature's control and take refuge in the vicinity of the old base, but not before having his sanity irremediably compromised and his tongue cut.

Thus, the community of Santo Berço prospered for about 156 years under the influence of the Dimensions Parasite and with your original purpose misrepresented. Until it was destroyed by Team H of the Ordo Realitas in the confrontation against the last herald of the parasite, the God of Death. Holy Cradle and your residents were consumed by flames and insanity following the ruin of their "Holy".
