Near London, England February 1943:
Sir James Travers, head of the Watchers Council, Guardian of the Slayer Line, and officially a world-renowned Doctor of Archeology who specialized in the Occult and just happened to have the Diplomatic Immunity protection of the various nations of the Commonwealth and Empire of Great Britain. Of course, he also had it from nations as varied as Liberia, Chile, Thailand, and even Germany sat at his chair at the conference table trying to resolve what had to be the biggest classification crisis in the written memory of the Council.
This has been confirmed? It's not a case of us missing an attempt at bringing about an apocalypse? Because if it is…
After a few seconds, Sir Thomas Giles, the man in charge of the council's collections and a notable archeologist in his own right (and with an equally unusual collection of diplomatic papers) spoke up.
Yes sir. The various Hellmouths have been a bit more active than normal, but still at levels less than that during the Great War. Or perhaps I should say they had been a bit more active. They have gone relatively quiet since these… things, decided to show up.
Sir Edward Wyndam, the current Council liaison to HRH and the Prime Minister was the next to speak up. There is also the fact that they have yet to show any mystical abilities whatsoever. All their capabilities seem to corroborate the claims made by the few POW's our military has as well as from radio broadcasts by those they chose as their mouthpiece in the lands they occupy.
Next to speak was Lady Diana Pryce, in charge of keeping track of and reporting the movements of Field Watchers and the current Slayer.
We have confirmation from Watcher Charles Merrick that he and his Slayer, Betty, managed to get out of Chicago and into Canada before their land route was cut off. Charles had some minimal troubles from General Patton but being officially classified as a British Diplomat has its benefits. They are currently in Toronto cleaning out a few nests of vampires that decided to flee there from America. As per our orders, they have not tried fighting these new arrivals.
The head of the Councils massive treasury, Sir George Wells merely responded by agreeing with the other three council members.
Speaking up once more, Sir James Travers stood up and made his decision.
After reviewing the evidence, I have determined that these Lizards, or the Race as they apparently call themselves, are to be classified as a non-human, non-demon species of Alien origin. The Slayer is to not attack them and after this conflict is resolved, one way or another, we shall make contact with their leader Atvar.
