"Good question. It doesn't seem like there was any actual relation. From what I overheard and what I talked about with others, Chloe seemed eager to throw her lot in with literally any Elder One if it meant she could earn some sort of... It's weird, it wasn't even power she seemed to be after, there was just this religious ecstasy to her that made it seem like she specifically wanted... Well, this." He gestures to the page. "A connection to the 'vile divine,' as they were calling it. The cult seemed to view madness as being a form of enlightenment."

Gerry lets out a sigh, scratching his head thoughtfully as he tries to put the pieces together from what he learned from the meeting, what he heard from the others after. The way Chloe had spoken to CT about being excited to have her mind and body unraveled. The way that Drelasa convinced Chloe that her own god, Dagoth-Ur, was also some sort of elder one, and how envious Chloe was of Drelasa's physical transformation into something Cthulhu-esque. To the point where Chloe was willing to abandon Nyarlathotep if following Dagoth-Ur could get her something like that.

And what of Elias? Gerry admittedly doesn't know him too well. The man is dodgy at best. But they are missing at least one cultist, if not two...

"It's possible that Coldwood is completely unconnected. Not particularly plausible, but not impossible. He's a... supernatural biologist, if I remember right, and he could have just been taking advantage of Albright's obsession. But this stuff here about 'I don't know how much of me will be left' and 'my last day'... It's sticking in my mind."
