Eternal Lies for Trail of Cthulhu

“We lied. We Stole. We . . . we killed. We killed people, because we thought we could save the world if we did. But we failed. And with bloody hands, we slunk away. We back to our lives, and hid from those we had fought against. For the sake of our families, and our sanity, and, yes, even our own wounded pride and worthless lives.

Yet all these years can’t eclipse the truth.

It is out there, still. A perverse and lying alien god. You must find it, and fight it. For you have inherited this struggle and you are the world’s hope.

It falls to you.” --From Eternal Lies,written by Will Hindmarch, Jeff Tidball and Jeremy Keller.

Dr. Ines Tasse (played by squidheadjax)

"You really should moderate your alcohol use. You show signs of severe cirrhosis of the liver and the most severe pleural effusion I've observed in vivo. Frankly, it's amazing you managed to walk in the hospital on your own power. Which is probably why you so discourteously died before I could treat you. Now let's see what else you're hiding in there..."
