The town has gone silent. All contacts were lost with the local population. Multiple police dispatches had been sent but none has returned. Being the best at learning the uncomprehensible, forensic investigators with their methodical skills of evidence gathering, have become the major role in this investigation.
The first step with any investigation is to measure and identify the dimension of the scene. Each group of investigators dispatch will strive to gather field clues whilst establishing parameter for their peers that follow, becoming the stepping stones to learning the unknown. Similar to measuring the size of a blackhole, each observatory body serves to gather data until their eventual demise, gradually revealing the dimension of the blackhole. Hence:
You are one of the many investigators, tasked to take photos as you go. With the now-added task of area security, you are also given basic combat training. Weapons are just another tool to your investigatory adventure.
