This is it

We've made any preparations we could. Scraped together some improvised weapons made from whatever we could find. A glass shard made into a knife by taping it on a stick. Three Molotov cocktails and a metal pipe Hella took from one of the dead KRAKEN guys.

The Molotov cocktails are mostly for any nests we might see. If there still are any nests left in KRAKEN. Hopefully the Convocation has murdered all of them for their betrayal. If that's what you wanna call it.

By the time this post has gone up we'll have already made our move. KRAKEN probably already knows we're coming. Still it wouldn't be smart to just announce our attack right before we do it. So I'll set this post to be published in about an hour from now.

We've got a sort of plan. We don't really know much about this base since our scouting attempt went horrible. So making a very detailed plan isn't possible. We'll just hope all the KRAKEN guys Hella killed on the street dwindled their numbers down enough. If there's too many of them left we'll just get overwhelmed no matter what we do. Even with Hella being on our team. Which I'm not even sure she is.

Alicia pulled me aside just before we left. “Hey, I just want you to know that whatever happens, you did whatever you could.”

“Yeah, those aren't very comforting words to be honest.”

She laughed and then coughed. There was some blood. “Sorry about that. Maybe this will be more comforting.” She then handed one of her gloves to me.

“Put that on before we go, okay?”

I nodded. “Thank you.”

“Alright, we leave in half an hour. Make sure you're ready.”

“I will be.”

She then walked away and left me to write this post.

This is our last chance. If we fail now there's only death waiting for us.
Mom, I'm coming to save you. This time for real. If you read this at any point, I love you. Dad, I love you too.

Everyone else, thanks for your comments. Yes, even you Faceless.
To all of you, don't wish us luck unless you mean it. Not that it'll matter, when you read this it'll probably be over already, one way or another.

Alright, that's it. Time to get going.

Mother

Somehow we did it. We saved my mother. As for Alicia, my mother recognized her symptoms and has managed to stabilize her. She's no longer in critical condition. She hasn't woken up yet though. Which makes me nervous. My mother told me she would wake up eventually. I'm afraid that's just her trying to comfort me. Speaking of my mother, I had a very long talk with her. I told her about everything that happened and she told me about what she went through. She also told me why she was kidnapped. It turns out that my mother does not work for doctors without borders. She lied about that but her real job is apparently not so different. She is a doctor, that wasn't a lie. She does travel a lot to treat people, that was true as well. However the people she treats are victims of the Fears. My mother has known about their existence since before I was born. With the experience she has gained over the decades she has become an expert on Eldritch diseases. So she mostly ...

Hello, old friend

The nest was still tied up and looking up at Scribe Delta. “So it is you. Wait, Sam, you're not with KRAKEN are you?” “No, old friend I'm not and my sources say that you aren't either anymore.” The nest let out a sigh of relief. “Thank fuck. Yeah, I got out.” “Wait, They’re not KRAKEN?!” I yelled out in surprise. Sam put up a hand at me. “Not now, I'm busy.” “Oh.. okay.” I stepped back and looked at Alicia. She shrugged. Sam turned his attention back to the nest. “So old friend, at what point did you realize being in KRAKEN might have been a bad idea?” “Around the time I saw another KRAKEN nest be eaten alive by the birds he had just released. Turns out the Bright Ones do not like KRAKEN. So when KRAKEN announced its presence a few months ago there were many nests who were up for a nasty surprise.” “Ouch. Yeah, that'll do it. Any idea why the birds don't like the octopus?” “If I had to guess they don't like the idea of us taking orders f...

Hella

Alicia summarized our situation to Hella. “This girl's mother got kidnapped by KRAKEN. “ She pointed at me as I cowered behind her. “She hasn't been targeted by a Fear so far. There's still a chance for her to get out of this life. I promised I would try to give her that chance. The only way that's happening is by saving her mother. Otherwise her father will remain in prison for a murder that didn't happen. Because her mother is probably still alive.” “What's that got to do with me?” Hella asked. “I was getting there., The information we got from certain sources says they're keeping her mother in a nearby base. However, I'm pretty sick these days. I can't fight my way into a KRAKEN base by myself in my current state. While Leaf over here, well you've seen her combat abilities.” “Yes, I've seen enough to be able to guess how far she'd get. So you want me to fight your battle for you. What's in it for me?” “You seem to...
