‘The EC Cult is probably one of the most unusual, yet unbelievablely interesting secret societies that we’ve ever had to investigate. A society formed of outcasts from all across the universe.’

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION - DO NOT SHARE

We began our investigation roughly about two weeks ago. Before we took this case, there were numerous rumours made of a highly unusual group around the local area. At first, people chalked it up to it just being a random group of shady adults lurking around town, but then people noticed that there were certain ‘hotspots’ that the group seemed to always gather at. These ‘hotspots’ were an abandoned theater and a hospital that had been closed down for several decades.

While I was reluctant to take the case at the start, since I didn’t declare it worth investigating. However, when an old friend of mine contacted me regarding the cult (a fellow investigator), I decided to take the case on and help him out. For privacy reasons, I will refer to my friend as G throughout my report.

At first, we started to follow the odd group. They all looked to be dressed very formally, which was odd giving that they frequented such desolate, decrepit amd dirty places. We followed them to the abandoned theater. We carefully watched them as they walked into the theater, still dressed very formally. We peeked through the door as they started to quietly mutter amongst each other.

“Leader Ripple said he would meet us here... Right?” One member whispered to the others.

“Yeah, he did... He must be one of the screen rooms...” Another replies.

We quietly listened to their conversation until they started to walk away from the snack bar. When we thought the coast was clear, we stealthily sneaked into the theater, careful not to let the door squeek too much. Me and G immediately started scanning the area for clues on what was going on, but we couldn’t find anything. The group had went into one of the screens, it would appear, although we couldn’t tell which one they had went into, so we sneaked into each of them, cautiously making sure to be as quiet as possible.

First Screen: Empty

Second Screen: There was nobody there, but there was a golden bow-tie sitting in one of the chairs.

Third Screen: Empty

Fourth Screen: They were there.

We heard their whispers as we entered the huge room. The room was dimly lit up and the group who we saw outside seemed to be chanting “Leader Ripple” over and over.

We tried our best to get as close to the scene as possible. Eventually, me and G hid in behind two seats.

Just as we leaned behind the seats, the room started to become very cold. We looked over and were greeted with the sight of a large yellow cloud hovering through the screen, phasing through it like a ghost. It was wearing a sparkling gold bow-tie, just like the one we found...
