"Objects are eight feet long all over. Six-foot five-ridged barrel torso 3.5 feet central diameter, 1 foot end diameters. Dark grey, flexible, and infinitely tough. Seven-foot membraneous wings of same colour, found folded, spread out of furrows between ridges. Wing framework tubular or glandular, of lighter grey, with orifices at wing tips. Spread wings have serrated edge. Around equator, one at central apex of each of the five vertical, stave-like ridges, are five systems of light grey flexible arms or tentacles found tightly folded to torso but expansible to maximum length of over 3 feet. Like arms of primitive crinoid. Single stalks 3 inches diameter branch after 6 inches into five sub-stalks, each of which branches after 8 inches into five small, tapering tentacles or tendrils, giving each stalk a total of 25 tentacles.

At top of torso blunt bulbous neck of lighter grey with gill-like suggestions holds yellowish five-pointed starfish-shaped apparent head covered with three-inch wiry cilia of various prismatic colours. Head thick and puffy, about 2 feet point to point, with three-inch flexible yellowish tubes projecting from each point. Slit in exact centre of top probably breathing aperture. At end of each tube is spherical expansion where yellowish membrane rolls back on handling to reveal glassy, red-irised globe, evidently an eye. Five slightly longer reddish tubes start from inner angles of starfish-shaped head and end in sac-like swellings of same colour which upon pressure open to bell-shaped orifices 2 inches maximum diameter and lined with sharp white tooth-like projections. Probable mouths. All these tubes, cilia, and points of starfish-head found folded tightly down; tubes and points clinging to bulbous neck and torso. Flexibility surprising despite vast toughness.

At bottom of torso rough but dissimilarly functioning counterparts of head arrangements exist. Bulbous light-grey pseudo-neck, without gill suggestions, holds greenish five-pointed starfish-arrangement. Tough, muscular arms 4 feet long and tapering from 7 inches diameter at base to about 2.5 at point. To each point is attached small end of a greenish five-veined membraneous triangle 8 inches long and 6 wide at farther end. This is the paddle, fin, or pseudo-foot which has made prints in rocks from a thousand million to fifty or sixty million years old. From inner angles of starfish-arrangement project two-foot reddish tubes tapering from 3 inches diameter at base to 1 at tip. Orifices at tips. All these parts infinitely tough and leathery, but extremely flexible. Four-foot arms with paddles undoubtedly used for locomotion of some sort, marine or otherwise. When moved, display suggestions of exaggerated muscularity. As found, all these projections tightly folded over pseudo-neck and end of torso, corresponding to projections at other end."

This was what was read by Harry as Luna sat across from him in this personal cabin aboard the Juggernaut, thanks to magic enlarging the insides of the machines of the PLF. Luna was going over some other files as Harry read that from a newspaper that came out from the 1930's of the Miskatonic University expedition, which was from the late Lake on his examination of the Elder Thing body they had discovered. Of course, most of the expedition notes were lost due to the former C.D.O.I.C. organization. Luna had to go to the final living source to get anything from this expedition, a man named Davenport who was in an insane asylum before he passed away a month after Luna's visit.

He put the paper down before looking at the blonde, who looked up with a smile, "So, we're looking for barrels with wings, tentacles and starfish shaped heads. Of course, if any of them actually still hibernate near the city, that is."

Luna nodded, "Yes, if any of them survived, they'll be in deep hibernation. Of course, we'll have to put them in reinforced rooms so if they do wake up, they won't hurt anyone."

Harry nodded to himself as he pushed the paper towards her, "If we do find any, Luna, I don't believe we're in our world anymore."

Luna frowned, "What do you sense?"

"This world...its dying, freezing to death outside and burning up inside. It's not in balance, it's going to die. I don't know when, where or how but it is. We may not have...no, we have a couple of years, but after that…" Harry trailed off.

Luna nodded, like she understood his odd rambling, "Understood, we'll make sure not to stay that long. Only a few months at most, I swear."


The entire expedition stopped in a valley between two mountain ranges, which were not on any normal Earth map. This only added to the theory proposed by the scientists on the expedition that this truly was another parallel Earth but it was connected via Antarctica and the Elder Thing City. The new science was still being tested but as of right now, it was being put on hold so everything could be catalogued and marked. The Juggernauts were moved into a massive cavern in one of the larger mountains, protecting them from the cold and other harsher elements.

The Jaegers were also able to get inside the cave and crews were looking them over, only two of them staying outside for protection. Crimson Dragon and Gypsy Danger patrolled outside, both Jaegers on full alert as the winds picked up. It was Issei that noticed the unnatural change in the weather patterns, quickly getting into combat readiness before a gigantic horror leapt out of the storm directly at the Jaeger.

Its cloak was a near white grey color that was in ruins at the edges. It's hood barely covered a fleshy upper jaw, which led to another larger one and then another and one last one. All of these jaws were filled with jagged spike teeth, but the largest one had tentacles that squirmed and slithered over one another. Two long, emancipated arms that ended in sharp taloned clawed hands held the creature up as it was clearly on the ground.

The hollow shriek would have made any lesser being stop and curl up into a ball, but the Rangers leapt into action. Crimson Dragon intercepted the first one, clawed fingers curling around the things 'head'. Black blood oozed out of the wounds the metal claws dug into, as the Jaeger slammed the fiendish behemoth into the side of the mountain. Gypsy Danger released its sword and sliced the arm off another one that had tried to leap onto Crimson Dragon's back, causing that one to howl in rage and pain.

Three more tried to ambush the two Jaegers but both were quicker on the draw, Crimson Dragon firing a dragon shot that blasted the upper half of an ambushing that painted the mountains black in visora. Gypsy spun, stabbing one through where the chest would be but that barely slowed the thing down. Tentacles wrap like snakes around its body, causing the Jaeger to be unable to move. Crimson slashed its claws across its head, tearing off flesh in a single blow.

The third roared before tearing off into the night, howling like Satan himself was after it. The Jaegers were quick to alert the base about the new threats, needing to get the base defenses up quickly.
