Transcript from VT Press conference: 8/24/42

David Lane: Thank you all for coming I understand you're all curious about what happened, I assure you Viper Tech will get to the bottom of this, we're committed to the safety of our employees and this city. 

 Reporter 1: Mr Lane, Can you tell us exactly what happened on the night of the 21st?

David Lane: Our Viper Technologies Expo was taking place, It had been in planning for months, We had many Important people there, City Mayor Silva, some of my Fellow board members and department heads, Cassidy Malone, Mark Maron, Alex Hoover, Trent Fisk and Mavis Joules. As well as Samson stone and Nina Reyes my Heads of security and their squad. The expo and showcase was  going smoothly, I was enjoying my dinner when I checked my watch it was about 8:00 when James Black came up to present and help demonstrate the new Viper surveillance cameras, and bot prototype. Till out of nowhere he was attacked, I couldn't see anything, his attackers were all dressed in black, and everyone was in panic., We then all evacuated out of the hall, as the ship was pulled ashore.

 Reporter 1: I see, so you have no idea who the attackers were?

Lane: No, My security team is looking into it, but as I said I was unable to see anything distinguishable about these attackers

Female reporter: I have two questions, for you Mr. Lane, And Mr. Stone as well. Are you aware of any threats inside the company who may have orchestrated this, was this your doing.

Lane (Nods to Samson, motioning to speak first): I assure you Miss, This was no inside job. We are fully investigating this situation, and are working with local law enforcement as well. 

I respect Mr. Black, It's why I chose him as the security projects director for this company. I believe all the board members here would agree with the decision, we all believe he deserved the position and I think I speak for everyone in saying his disappearance i truly upsetting and none of us would've wanted this to happen.

Stone: Like Mr. Lane said, we're working tirelessly to find out who the culprit was, James (Black) and I were very close, we've been working together in different projects and missions since he joined. I can't think of anyone in the company with a vendetta against him

Reporter 3:  This question was mainly intended for  Mrs. Joules but anyone can answer,  Are you currently looking for someone to promote and fill the Position he held or is it too early

Joules: I don't know. I currently wasn't planning on it just yet, I may fill the duties for a while, We worked together quite a bit on the most recent projects, but he could return sometime soon. I would like for someone like Nina or Samson to assist, if he doesn't return due to their familiarity with his work and their position.

 Lane: I agree with Joules, I am hopeful he returns but we have plenty capable candidates at our HQ.

Reporter 4: Will you still produce these products to the public?

Lane:Yes, They may need  more testing  now, but Ithis company has a commitment to make sure these products get out there and I assure you we will, and we will do all we can to find Mr. Black don't worry.


Kasey's Personal Diary Entry 8/22/42

So Dad's been acting even stranger lately, He says that the ghosts are returning, apparently, some were spotted at a VIPER TECH expo. He says they were after Danny's dad, I'll have to talk to Danny later. I went with Dad to the lab, mom wanted me to  "make sure he's okay" like she always does, dad doesn't mind me coming along. We did some experiments to test the connection between here and "the ghost dimension". It seems crazy, I know, but Dad's been working on researching other dimensions, and connecting between them for as long as I can remember.

I don't know what, but something happening, and I can tell some things are changing here in Riverwood City,  I think I need to be ready for when they do

Also, my first year of high school starts soon,  Yay?


Jason's Letters#1

Just moved into our new home in Riverwood City. "Tech Capital of the World" They call it, but to me, it all just seems the exact same everywhere I go. Mom and Dad keep telling me to stay positive, and that it'll be better  School starts soon Wonder what that'll be like. It must be nice here for everyone working at Viper Tech, Their tech seems to be running this city. Of course, Dad says that it's good to be here with everything they've done for the city, but I just don't trust it.

 Maybe this place will grow on me, who knows?

Viper's logs: August 21 2042

 Sam's log 8.21.42

Big day for VIPER TECH yesterday, New security tech was revealed. my VIPERbots were supposed to be revealed, but it was cut short because some weird dudes in all black attacked kidnapping Dan's dad and hurting mine and some other big names at the company. Dad's probably gonna issue some press release saying nothing happened they're launching the new security initiative as a means to prevent anything.  If this happens again I want to be ready, should probably test the bots again to see if I can salvage some of the tech to use for myself.

 Yesterday Dad and I went on a special cruise expo for VIPER tech, it was going well, we were having dinner when some random shadowy figures attacked the ship, who were they, and what did they want with him? He and some other people there were targeted and he was taken away, He left me some Family Heirloom saying to "use the power well"
What's going on?
