Taylor Varga

Taylor has a bad day that ends in a locker. Everyone has heard that one. It goes somewhat differently after that, as her call for help is answered by something from a lot further away than one might expect... A story in which Taylor makes a very large friend, the world gets confused, and Danny comes into his own.

I had no choice, I had to file a report.

At 11:03:56 UTC (07:03:56 EDT) surveillance flight SRV112 was on first outbound leg of mission having taken off from Protectorate facility in Brockton Bay, Captain Carmen Frye commanding, at 10:48:34 UTC (06:48:34 EDT). Aircraft activity was nominal, flight level 274, speed 438 knots, when an unknown aerial object was detected on radar approaching from the rear port side at high velocity, estimated at exceeding Mach 2 at flight level 347 on a relative bearing of 210°. Low radar cross-section suggested either small high performance aircraft or unassisted Parahuman in flight. Long range camera on fuselage upper pod was retasked to locate and identify object.

Camera lock-on required approximately 7 seconds during which object closed to a separation of just over 3 nautical miles, before drawing away SSE. Contact was lost 36 seconds later for unknown reasons, although there was no sighting of mid-air failure or course change.

Examination of camera recording showed that object was neither an aircraft of any type, or any known Parahuman. [VidRef SRV112/0014/11:04:03-11:04:39] The entity in question was approximately 200 feet in length, best described as a long eel-like lizard. Lift and propulsion appeared to be by means of a multiple engine rocket system of unknown design but significant power. The speed of the Parahuman was steadily increasing during the duration of the contact and the shape and consistency of the exhaust plume suggests in-flight optimization of the thrust system was ongoing.

The Parahuman appeared to be exhibiting signs of exhilaration based on facial expression although none of the flight crew could fully agree on this interpretation.

No life support or protective systems were evident, with the exception of a very large set of goggles of archaic design. Additionally, a long (estimated 120 feet) cloth streamer, brilliant white in color, was wrapped around the Parahuman's body immediately behind the head, both ends trailing.

Comment from copilot was to the effect of 'My god, it's like someone fused a Great Old One and Snoopy and strapped a rocket to it'. Copilot suffered shock-induced loss of consciousness immediately following this statement. ECM officer rendered first aid. Flight diverted to Boston Logan Airport where copilot was disembarked.

Based on overall appearance the unknown Parahuman is suspected of being associated with the Brockton Bay Parahuman group known as 'The Family'. Designation of individual in question is unknown to flight crew. Suggested action is to request that, assuming flight is repeated, the individual is supplied with an IFF transponder to prevent misidentification and precipitous action from any armed aircraft in the vicinity of Family flight operations.

Personal note to Director Piggot.

Director,

Please, for the love of all that's holy, try to get them to warn us next time? Poor Nigel nearly had a heart attack.
