Desert Bones

{ The following text is a transcript of audio salvaged from two standard-grade radios found on the outskirts of the Arani Desert on 7.5/86/2046. Subjects will be referred to as [CX1] and [CX2]. Names and expletives are censored. }

[CX1]: Hey, Josh? You sure this is the right place?

[CX2]: Sure I’m sure! Geoffrey said something is hidden in this desert, and we’ll be the first to find it!

[CX1]: Did he.. specify what exactly is out here?

[CX2]: What? Uh.. no, but it couldn’t be anything worse than what we’ve faced so far.

[CX1]: Dude, we literally spent an hour being chased by a vampiric snake. 

[CX2]: Well.. yeah, but-

[CX1]: And apparently that was a relatively weak vampire.

[CX2]: Oh, shut up.

[CX1]: Seriously though, I think there’s a sandstorm coming. Don’t you think we should at least make camp?

[CX2]: Trust me, this’ll only take, like, a few minutes. We’ll go out there, find the thing, dig it up, and take it back before the storm even comes close. 

[CX1]: ..Alright, if you say s- wait, I think I left my radio on.

[CX2]: Huh? Oh, come on, Drake, we don’t want to waste the battery life on these thi-

[CX1]: Wait a second, yours is on too!

[CX2]: What?! Oh my god, why didn’t you notice this soo-

[CX1] Well, it's not my fau-

{ At this point, both radios were assumedly switched off, & remained off for approx. 30 minutes before second activation. }

[CX1]: Josh, where are you? This storm is blinding! I thought this was supposed to take a few minutes!

[CX2]: Well don’t blame me, I

 didn’t know this dust cloud would advance this quickly. 

[CX1]: Are you at least at the spot?

[CX2]: Yeah, I think s- Oh. Wait. The sand’s clearing… oh my god.

[CX1]: What? What is it?

[CX2]: There’s like a giant ARM sticking out of the ground!

[CX1]: WHAT?! How big?

[CX2]: Like, the size of a fuckin’ WINDMILL, dude! I think this is what Geoffrey wanted us to find! We could be the archeological legends of the CENTURY with something like this!

[CX1]: Yeah, that’s great and all, but how do we even show anyone something like this? We can’t even move it!

[CX2]: We don’t have to! I’ll just take a shard of bone, we give it to the mad scientists, they do their splicey magic, & BOOM, instant profit! Now if I could just GET that sample..

[CX1]: Dude, don’t do it. Just wait until I get there. Something could be living above or below or inside of it.

[CX2]: Eh, relax. I can handle some bug or worm or- HOLY SHIT!

{ loud rumbling }

[CX1]: JOSH, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!

[CX2]: DUDETHEARMJUSTTRIEDTOCRUSHMEOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGO-

[CX1]: JOSH! CALM DOWN! It probably just fell. I’ll get over there and help.

[CX2]: ..A-alri- wait.

[CX1]: What? What’s happening this ti-

[CX2]: DUDE WHATEVER THIS ARM IS ATTACHED TO IS ALIVE BECAUSE IT IS PULLING ITSELF UP

[CX1]: WHAT?!

[CX2]: OH MY GOD IT’S A SKULL 

[CX1]: JOSH, GET OUT OF THERE!!

[CX2]: drake.. it’s looking right at me…

[CX1]: I SAID, GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM IT!!

[CX2]: no, no no no NoNoNONONOOOO- { static }

[CX1]: ..josh? JOSH?! HANG ON DUDE I THINK I’M ALMOST THERE! I- Oh.. oh no.. josh… 

{ 15 sec. radio silence }

[CX1]: If anyone finds these radios, please don’t come out here. Nothing is worth this..

{ Both radios are switched off. Investigators found Geoffrey in an apartment in New Xanthis, EK. When questioned about the recordings, the subject simply laughed and stated “So they finally found those ol’ desert bones, huh?” Subject has not responded to any questioning since. Exploration of the Arani is prohibited until the creature in question can be located. }
