Post #18: Return and Anti-Azoth

It's so unusual to be sitting in a room which is not lit up by candles for once, I'm back.

Let's get right down to business. The organization that I infiltrated back in January of 2015, when I stole that liquid that they developed in order to eliminate Azoth from the human body? Turns out, they had more tricks up their sleeves and unbeknownst to me, have been slowly tracking down my signal. Luckily for us, I was able to notice a "Change in scenery" let's call it that, and immediately ordered Hannah to help me turn off anything electronic.

For a whole year we sat with no electricity, no way of communication with the outside world and looking around, it looks like we weren't the only ones who went silent, which is a pity.

I was of course, capable of going outside on a few occasions in order to get all the living necessities we would require at the time and on occasion, I was also able to access the internet in order to keep an eye on any updates, but not for too long, or else the organization that was after us, would start sniffing around more broadly.

Since then, we've changed locations, got new equipment and pretty much renewed everything, it took time to establish a new safe ground, but we finally did it.

However, the forceful silence did not limit my researching endeavors. Whilst outside, I tried my best to encounter a proxy, I was hoping to find a hollowed one, since the liquid was known for killing the body after it eliminated all of Azoth, but alas, I had to settle for a regular proxy.

I was able to sneak up behind them and force a drop of the liquid into their mouth, making sure they swallowed it. After which I immediately started running away, whilst the proxy was occupied with coughing. Realizing that I wasn't being followed, I stuck around to see the effects, but there were none, at least, not immediately.

I followed this proxy for a week and a half, as carefully as I could, I did not plan on staying out for such a long time and it was dangerous, but, my curiosity got the best of me. Effects started taking place after 3 days, the proxy in question started coughing furiously and throughout the 3 days, they became a lot more paler. Couple of days later, the coughing would only increase, to the point that the Proxy would have to stop at some points and cough up a good amount of Azoth. The following 4 days, the Proxy was experiencing an extreme case of skin shedding and at certain points, incapability to move. The Remaining 2 days, the proxy in question, suffocated to death, whilst their skin kept peeling off, luckily for me, they had suffocated in a secluded area, which granted me the ability to examine the corpse. Skin wasn't the only thing that was peeling off, the proxy was also suffering an extreme case of loss of hair.

Curious with the internal damage, I cut open a small bit of the proxies body open, pure blood, no traces of Azoth, or the Liquid which I put the Proxy in contact with, I took a blood sample and on that same day, sent it off to my contact who had the technology to tell me more.

As soon as we established a new base of operations, I read through my e-mails and 3 days after I sent off the blood sample, I already had a reply. My contact informed me, that there was nothing out of the ordinary with the blood sample I had sent them, apart from the fact that it was stale, but that could easily be due to the fact, that when I sent it off, it wasn't stored properly.

At least, the liquid, which I will now dub the "Anti-Azoth" works, to some extent.
