[The feed kicks in. This time, Vira-Lorr is in her office with a pallid bust in porcelain in front of her.]
This was found in Lake Tomie. It contains a memory that it will reveal when touched outside of the water. I may return it eventually, out of kindness to the one that I think made this memory, but for now it is being stored here in FEAR HQ.
When it is touched, it will look at you, smoke will pour out and you will see the distant past. Women are speaking of needing to flee, of the need for a child to be born under a certain sign of the moon as part of rites of witches. They are part of a coven, a gathering of magic users with a powerful bloodline. There are hints at the end that we sleepers know the fate of the one who would come that would not be born under the correct sign.
I believe that the robed figure who leads the women is now the Boat Master. I intend to continue to hunt for more information. The one she speaks of, who will not be born under the correct sign, it is likely Sodder, Sodder's Mother or Ramona Derwin, witch and founder of FEAR. I lean towards the belief that it is Sodder, but it could be either.
Either way, it hints that Sodder and Ramona both carry a great deal of mystical power, which may explain why this whole world, this nightmare is possible. The fact that they were born apart from the sign may mean that this world is somehow tied to that curse.
More, I am not sure how to speculate.
[She covered the head and took out a piece of rock that glittered like stardust.]
However, this is not the only important part of this sculpture. I am firmly convinced its magic can be duplicated, so long as someone is capable of manipulating the mind and memories. A psychic, witch, medium or perhaps even technology may be able with the right research, to pin down what it is that is needed to seal a memory away in this fashion.
Paper rots here easily. FEAR was beyond a shambles when they found it again. Buildings degrade, and the notes found in the Hospital were ruined beyond recovery when Reaper broke in over a year ago. But this? This item lingered. It may be the only way to definitively create a record that cannot be lost, that can linger no matter what happens to us, to prepare others that might have to come after. I call it a "Memento Mori," a memory of death and the dead.
I will be using my studies of the rock from beneath the city, in the tunnels, this and other similar objects. Once I can do it, I intend to create a test memory using antler horn if possible. It has power, because it is tied to us.

If I find the method, I will record it for you.
