  HTML http://kaijucombat.com/community/index.php?media/charged-koh-part-of-the-turnaround.8862/full&d=1494547310
       Origin:
       In 2007, a typhoon had landed in the Northern Marianas Islands
       and unleashed a strange substance not known to this earth.
       Unknowingly to public, a week after the typhoon, a young man
       named Xavier had recorded a transcript about visions of an
       “abyss,” and apparently claimed that there was a connection
       between the typhoon and the “abyss.” What was interesting was
       that he had also claimed that there was a gigantic creature whom
       he called “It” that had caused the disaster itself. However,
       there is barely any evidence to suggest that the creature
       existed.
       In terms of the visions of the young man, they involved strange
       lights in the dark, the feeling of tasting an awful food to
       which he compared to tar and smoke, long, black tentacles
       proceeding to suffocate him, and then a bright light
       “puncturing” the darkness. There are at least six visions he had
       mentioned, each of them just as disturbing as each other in a
       way.
       Though there is some history behind the young man, such as
       having thalassophobia, after falling from a boat, and
       hallucinating a giant fish swimming in the water, the fact that
       the young man had committed suicide the day after recording the
       transcript. We do not have any more information, but here are
       what the visions were described to be, straight from the audio
       transcript.
       “Vision #1. God help me. . . .
       The first vision was surreal, you could say. It was a very
       exhausting day at work that day, and I drifted asleep pretty
       quickly. I know a few minutes later I woke up at my computer.
       What was strange is that I was in my bed at the time, I had do
       idea on how the hell I got there. I, of course, headed back to
       my bed. I think it was around 1:23am when I finally fell asleep?
       I dunno. I immediately appeared in a murky, dark brown water.
       There was no light at all gleaming in, and the water was just .
       . . just so goddamn cold!
       I at least tried to move, but I couldn’t even move an inch. I
       was afraid, very afraid. That's when I noticed them. There were
       two pairs of multiple lights. They were very close, and were
       very big. There was a blue one, and a purple one, and each of
       them were in a line. There were at least seventeen lights on the
       blue one, and fourteen on the purple one. The were swimming
       around me, but in a matter of seconds, the purple row just . . .
       disappeared, leaving the blue one to circle around me.
       Then the blue row just . . . stopped. I had no clue where the
       lights went, but i just stopped. But then . . . then . . . I
       felt a-a hot breath on the back of my neck. Thats when I woke
       up.”
       Here is vision number two. There is something interesting about
       this one, and it seemed to catch our attention.
       “Vision #2.
       Nothing interesting in this one, just unusual. I just found
       myself on the beach, watching the waves. It was nighttime, and
       the breeze was flowing almost intensely. The waves were crashing
       on the beach, and carrying an unusually large amount of fish,
       and I was able to move.
       I then felt myself walking towards the right of me, when I
       noticed this long, very long fish. It reminded me of the stories
       my mom used to tell me about . . . . *long pause* about-t sea
       serpents. When I got close to it, I noticed that it had a face
       like a dogs, especially a bulldogs.”
       The fish the young man described matched the description of an
       oarfish, though they are not found there, and are not seen there
       as well.
       The third vision takes place in the same place.
       “Vision #3. . . Why do I . . .
       When I went to bed, I found that my bed was slightly soggy, and
       it smelt like salt. What was strange is that I had just cleaned
       it earlier before making my dinner, and . . . just to add to it,
       I just laid there, and fell asleep.
       The vision that night was in the same as the second one, but
       this time, I was just standing there. I couldn’t move, and my
       arms were outstretched to the side of me. I stood there for what
       felt at least like 4 hours or so, until the breeze picked and
       blowed what look like a large, multicolored dust cloud on me. I
       felt a tingly sensation, but nothing else really happened to me,
       just the dust being blown on me.”
       Out of all the visions he mentioned, nothing seems to reach the
       disturbingness of this one. We still have no idea what this one
       meant.
       “Vis . . . Vision # . . . 4 . . . *sniffs loudly*
       I really . . . really wish I wasn’t the one targeted. . . It was
       the night after I had learned of my job being suspended for a
       few days because my boss was worried for my health that morning.
       I couldn’t fall asleep. I had been trying to take sleeping pills
       which my doctor had prescribed me with back in America . . . but
       each time I would try to swallow one, this awful **** taste
       filled my mouth. I just couldn’t sleep. But . . . I guess I did
       fall asleep. Becau- . . . *long pause, with sobbing*
       *first signs of distraught and sadness are heard in the young
       mans voice.*
       Because I felt something grab my arm, a few minutes after I had
       laid down. I jerked away from whatever grabbed me, but it held
       on, and when I saw it, it was this thick, black tentacle. I was
       strangling my arm, and when I got up from my bend to grab
       something from my desk to stab it with, two more tentacles come
       from underneath my bed, and grabbed my legs. The sucking noise
       was so . . . so goddamn awful. I was dragged back to my bed, and
       I felt two more, one grabbing my arm, and the other one wrapping
       around my forehead.
       *Man uncontrollably sobs*
       The one that wrapped around me dug its tip into my throat,
       trying to suffocate me! TRYING TO SUFFOCATE ME!
       Video Cuts to static”
       The next vision, is unsettling, and was very strange. There is
       no mention of the dust, tentacles, or lights, but the pitch
       darkness is mentioned again.
       “Vision #5. Why . . .
       This vision is not short, in fact it was the longest one I
       think. I was swimming in the murky depths again, except it was
       pitch black, and extremely cold. When I say extremely cold, I
       mean that it was so cold that you felt as if you couldn’t budge
       and inch with feeling like you had hypothermia.
       A strange thing that I noticed was that I was swimming really,
       really fast. I felt like I was soaring across the sky. As I
       soared, I could see tips of long, spear like crags. There were
       also cliff edges, but each of them didn’t end, and there was
       still more darkness underneath them. As I went through the rocky
       area, I noticed wide caverns, and some moderate sized caves. If
       I remember correctly, there was something in one of those caves.
       A large claw, maybe fifteen feet long disappeared in of the
       caverns.
       What creeped me out was that after it had entered the cave, I
       started glow very brightly, and then I shot into the cave. When
       I saw the creature, I only remember what it’s expression was. It
       was scared. I had no idea why, but the creature normally would
       look so scary, because it’s face looked like a crabs and a
       deer’s face, but I just felt sorry for the thing.
       I then found myself, after the attack I had unwillingly indulged
       in, swimming again, except I was just swimming in the open
       parts. I didn’t feel scared. I continued swimming for what felt
       like 5 hours before I saw a another cavern. The cavern was point
       crag tips all over it, and the hole inside it was pitch black.
       On the verge of entering it, I woke up.
       I was covered in a cold sweat, and was very cold.”
       The last vision is the most mysterious one, and the one that may
       have caused him to commit suicide in the first place. Nobody
       knows how many visions there were, but this one seemed to be the
       most revelating.
       “Vision #6. *man sobs for a moment*
       It talked to me in this one. If you don’t know what It is, its
       the blue row of lights I mentioned in the first one and soon to
       be eighth one. I don’t know if I can talk any longer about this,
       okay?
       I just can’t take it anymore.
       I found myself back in the depths. This time, being grappled by
       those . . . same things. I was calm, and could move my mouth but
       I couldn’t speak or scream. It was also very cold again. I was
       held there for at least several minutes until the blue row of
       lights appeared again, except they were flowing towards me
       slowly. When they disappeared, I again felt a hot, muggy breath,
       but this time in my face.
       Thats when it’s eyes opened. By god . . .
       *man starts crying*
       It spoke to me in this brazilian, japanese accent, and started
       saying things to me, horrible things! I remember these thing
       because they were so sadistic!
       *man reaches for something unknown, maybe a notepad or sheet of
       paper, and starts reading, but is interrupted by static*
       The transcript ends here.
