Case File: Part the First
I sat in my office in Port Royal gazing at my clock... My shift would soon be over and I would be returning home to a nice dinner out with my wife... Suddenly the door burst open and in came a Royal Navy courier holding a small parcel with a note tied to it. "Detective Bane?" he asked. I nodded in return and he placed the parcel down on my desk then left the room. I looked at the parcel for a few moments pondering what it might hold. I placed the note to the side and began opening the parcel. When I was half way through opening the seals on it I became aware of a horrid stench. I blocked my nose with one hand and finished opening the box with my other. As I opened the parcel's folds the smell became so bad that even with my nose blocked my eyes began to water. As I pulled away the final fold I looked inside and fliched in horror at what I saw... A terribly maimed human arm with strange bite marks in it which looked to be made by human teeth... I quickly slammed the folds back down to cover the bloody sight. Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind in only seconds. I then looked over to my dinner reservations and then to the note. And took a gulp and grabbed the note and began to read... ''From the desk of 1st General Johnny Coaleaston, Head of the Royal Marines... Dear Caddius, I hope you are doing well, I hope I am not intruding on you too badly with this case... But I am afraid it is of the utmost importance. Recently a Marine squadron patrolling the woods around Newgate Prison on a god-forsaken island called Somerset, when apparently they were murdered. It was said that screams were heard from the battlements that night and that they ended abruptly. Leaving nothing but silence, dead silence. This report shocked me so I began to search the rest of the Marine files for any evidence about this, and lo and behold I came across reports that nearly 100 Marines had gone missing in the woods from the time the prison was built 3 years ago. It seemed as if my predecessor Thomas VanHawke had covered all these happenings up and strangely enough has recently gone missing. I then realized that this was a serious problem and so I began writing this letter. I also had all evidence and records collected so that I might send them to you. Unfortunately the only thing I came across was a report of the last incidence scene and a certain piece of evidence I have enclosed in this box. The scene report stated that there was blood everywhere, and that there were marks on the ground were it looked as if boots were being dragged. Thus, this seems to be a very mysterious and ominous case, and I request your presence at the Northern Docks as soon as possible so that we may sail to Somerset and put this enigma to rest. Also, I thought I should explain the contents of the box I have sent you a little more. As I have said it seems as most of the patrol was dragged away, but there was one spot where it looked as if something had been gorged upon. It was figured out that it was where a Corporal had fallen, and that arm was the only thing left...''
