# Horseman of Pestilence: Entry Log 1

## Date: [REDACTED]

## Log Entry:

At [REDACTED] hours, a spectral entity fitting the historical and cultural depictions of the "Horseman of Pestilence" was sighted by remote sensors on the outskirts of [REDACTED].

### Observations:

- The immediate vicinity around the Horseman underwent a rapid transformation, with vegetation wilting and small wildlife succumbing to unknown ailments.

- The air quality sensors detected a significant increase in toxic agents typically associated with decay and decomposition.

- The entity itself appeared unaffected by the environmental degradation it induced.

### Event Summary:

The Horseman lingered in the area for approximately 23 minutes before vanishing in a dense cloud of mist. During this period, the entity seemed to be surveying the land, its head turning slowly as if to take in the effects of its presence.

### Aftermath:

- A quarantine zone was established, with no unauthorized personnel permitted to enter.

- Biological samples were collected by hazmat-equipped drones for analysis. Preliminary tests indicated the presence of several potent bacterial and viral agents.

- Local hospitals reported a spike in patients displaying symptoms of severe and acute infections following the event.

### Notes:

This manifestation of the "Horseman of Pestilence" has reinforced the theory that the entity is a harbinger of disease and ecological catastrophe. Its appearances seem to be precursors to outbreaks of illness and environmental blight.

### Action Taken:

- The Foundation's epidemiological research team has initiated a series of studies to develop countermeasures against the pathogens associated with the entity.

- Contingency plans have been updated to include immediate medical interventions and support to affected areas.

- A global alert has been issued to Foundation outposts to be vigilant for signs of the Horseman's emergence.

# Horseman of Pestilence: Entry Log 2

## Date: [REDACTED]

## Log Entry:

At precisely [REDACTED] hours, the "Horseman of Pestilence" manifested in the densely populated city of [REDACTED]. Surveillance cameras experienced visual distortions prior to the entity's appearance, followed by system failures across the network.

### Observations:

- A palpable haze descended over the city blocks surrounding the Horseman, with reports of acute illness among the populace rapidly increasing.

- Emergency services were overwhelmed with calls related to a sudden epidemic of an unidentified, fast-acting pathogen.

- The Horseman was observed raising its flail, releasing a swarm of what appeared to be locusts that vanished before touching the ground.

### Event Summary:

The Horseman's visitation lasted for an estimated 14 minutes. In that time, the entity moved through the city streets without hindrance, as people in its path fell ill or collapsed, overcome by sudden sickness.

### Aftermath:

- The Foundation's Mobile Task Forces (MTFs) were deployed to initiate containment and crowd control measures.

- Local healthcare facilities were provided with emergency medical supplies, including broad-spectrum antivirals and antibiotics.

- A temporary cover story involving a chemical spill was disseminated to the public to explain the quarantine and containment efforts.

### Notes:

The second recorded event of the "Horseman of Pestilence" in an urban setting confirms the entity's connection to epidemic phenomena. The nature of the illnesses suggests a supernatural origin, as symptoms progressed faster than any known natural disease.

### Action Taken:

- The Foundation's pathology specialists are analyzing blood samples from the affected individuals to identify commonalities and potential treatments.

- The city remains under quarantine as the Foundation's medical teams work to contain the spread of the disease.

- Research into historical and esoteric disease outbreaks has been prioritized to discern patterns that may predict the Horseman's movements and manifestations.
