The Nipian Saga V

Please record....I hope this thing is working. Is it recording? Yes! I found a recorder that still works. This is Catman!  I found something!  ...and unfortunately, it found me.

Over a month and a half ago, I retrieved recording and surveillance equipment from Dr. Bob's lab.  I set up all the cameras, I set up all the sensors.  I had both the ruins I discovered and the cave entrance covered from every angle, but no matter what I did, I never saw it coming.  There had to have been another entrance that I didn't find.  Everything was running smoothly and recording perfectly.  I was picking up some unique sounds; some of them were even above my frequency range.  They would fluctuate in rhythm and intensity.  I heard them for about a week and a half, steadily changing and sometimes even coming from alternate directions.  Then, one of my cameras somehow malfunctioned.  I went to go check it out and found it in pieces; it had been shattered!  But, I found no sign of impact: no dents, no scratches, no nothing.  Over the course of the next few nights, I lost more cameras and more sensors. Then finally, whatever it was found my camp...

Noises and sounds from all directions were hitting the area with such force, leaving indentations in the ground and all my instruments in pieces.  I grabbed a handful of equipment and started running.  I wasn't able to grab the portal generator; I hope it was not damaged, or I might be stuck here for a while.  That was over a month ago.  I am just now returning back to my old camp and trying to find equipment that hasn't been destroyed or that I can repair. The portal generator is gone. I feel lucky to find this audio recorder that still works. I have been several miles inland, and I have found and seen so many interesting things, but no way to log or categorize them.  I have found shelter in what appears to be an ancient structure, maybe a farmhouse or barn.  I have found food: the fish here are quite tasty, and the water is surprisingly fresh and clean.

I need to remain focused on finding the portal generator and getting home.  Whatever attacked my camp was big; it left massive claw marks in the sides of the trees, and deep paw prints that, if I'm not mistaken, are quite feline.  I am speculating that whatever weapons they were using focused on sound waves to do damage.

It is starting to become late evening.  I need to get back to my shelter...shhh.  I think I hear something.  It sounds like a very low growling sound.  I've got to get out of here; whatever it is has not left the area and is still out there.  Hopefully, going up this tree will give me a place to hide for now.  From up here, I see my whole camp, and I see just how much damage was dealt.  I hope that when I get back home, Dr. Bob will forgive me for not bringing back his equipment...lol

I see something...it's big...just outside the remaining light of my camp.  The moonlight is helping trace its silhouette.  I'm hearing sounds, but these are different...almost like scratching sounds.  I hear them coming from all over...

SOMETHING'S ABOVE ME!!!
