[ Sighing. ] At first, there were these strange dolls that just kind of milled about, then lizards that hunt and chase, and now all sorts of strange creatures. Happens every few days, and usually just at night but... the last time was different.
I'd recommend finding an empty room in the Shelter -- it's where most of the other denizens stay -- and keep close it at nightfall. With the pattern broken, you never know when it'll happen again, and the Defense Force can only be in so many places at once. [ Regrettably. ]
