Order of the Temple: Tactical Brief
LOG: LON-667-ALPHA // LOCATION: EALING BROADWAY
Note: This document was recovered from a water-damaged satchel near the 'Golden Fish' chippy. Smudge marks suggest high-velocity impact.
The target site—a standard 24-hour laundromat—is no longer adhering to Euclidean geometry. I entered at 22:14 GMT to investigate reports of "singing pipes." Upon crossing the threshold, the smell of cheap detergent was immediately replaced by the metallic tang of old blood and the dry heat of a furnace.
"The spin cycle on machine #4 isn't washing clothes; it's grinding down the barrier. I saw a hand—six-fingered and charred—pressing against the glass from the inside. It wasn't trying to get out. It was trying to pull the street in."
I have established a containment perimeter using the blessed chalk provided by the London Chapterhouse. However, the 'Buzzing' in my ears is reaching 80 decibels. The local pigeons have begun flying in perfect, concentric circles. This is a Class III breach in progress.
TACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Evacuate all civilians within a two-block radius (Cover story: Gas leak).
- Deploy the 'Iron Maiden' squad for immediate exorcism protocol.
- Burn the building. Do not attempt to salvage the dryers.
