《Delvers》Chapter 5 - Report (Intermission)
Advertisement
Report: R5843
Report type: Incident Report
Assigned agent: Oroboros
Cause for report: A breach was detected at site-58
Summary: After a thorough investigation of site-58, definite proof was found of a breach in security. It appears that the breach was human in nature and interviews are currently being prepared with all staff on-site at the time of the breach. Security systems were also disabled through magical means. Heavy mana use was found throughout the building and seems to indicate the path the intruder took. After entering the building and asking to speak to a manager due to an issue in billing the intruder appeared to take a seat. In reality, an illusion spell caused the receptionist and cameras to mistake it for the real deal.
The intruder then waited for the door into the offices to open and snuck in. The path takes leads to the server room and data centre. While IT did not detect a breach of security, activity logs showed that several files were opened. The requested files further down the report are outside my current security rating and summaries or ideally the files themselves are requested. The intruder then did not hesitate and walked back to a window and destroyed it. The trail ends here, and it would appear that the intruder escaped through the opening.
Interview Summary: Employee was not trained in mana detection and monitoring equipment is outdated. It appears that budget for this was taken from the accounts and never used for the purposes of actually upgrading the system. Fraud was found and employee responsible was eliminated. Requesting mana training for receptionist personnel and additional funding for security systems. Receptionist was found to not be at fault.
Files requested:
Personal logs: Site Director
Parent company contact information
Employee addresses site-58
Further steps: I advise that this intruder has just begun their investigations. The nature and execution of the breach speak to larger preparations and files stolen speak to a longer nature. I believe that checks of all site security are recommended. The heavy mana use of the intruder speaks to a high level or heavy spell focus. Steps should be taken to immediately secure our sites against mana heavy intruders. I would expect a few more breaches in short order or a longer period of dormancy. The little evidence discovered cannot be traced to a single person, but this person is most definitely connected to the company in some fashion. An internal investigation is also recommended due to little searching the intruder had to perform. They clearly knew the lay-out.

8 197The Animo Saga
Before history was well-recorded in the world of Ulakam, primordial animal spirits adopted humans, provided protection and developed deep spiritual connections with them. Millennia later, humans now host animal spirits and are split into tribes named for the species they host. Ulakam is slowly being consumed by a decades-long war pitting the main tribes against the smaller tribes and a group of bandits calling themselves "the resistance". Callida Animo was born into this world. Coming from a mixed family of generational soldiers, Callida joined the family business at a young age. In her words, she was practically bred, born, and raised to be a soldier. And she's good at what she does... which inevitably attracts attention that makes her unambitious self extremely uncomfortable. Love, loss, influence and growth. This is her story. Written episodically, this story focuses on relationships and character growth through a series of mini-arcs that connect to make a greater whole. (Honestly, the story would lend itself well to a TV series.) "Episodes" range from 3-7 chapters (at least so far), and average about 4 or 5 chapters. Author's note: I'm always thrilled to receive comments, follows, ratings/reviews, messages.... All forms of feedback are welcome and encouraged. However, I have no interest in begging readers for more engagement to get better visibility. I tried that with my last story and found the game soul-sucking. So! This constitutes my only self-promotion request. If you are reading this story, let me know what you think! I love engaging with my readers. We'll see if growing the readership organically is even possible. Thank you! 😘 Release schedule: Weekly on Wednesday afternoons
