Legion of the Unexplainables
@theunexplainables.bsky.social
All those things that go bump in the night? All those creatures no one believes are around? All the cryptids, monsters, and aliens, the thing you swear you saw that night? All of them are part of the Legion of the Unexplainables. All of them will be here
Also, fun fact: the putrid fumes and thick smoke that made those hysterical kids' eyes and noses burn? Turns out she's just lactose intolerant.

We brought them back to HQ, and she's been here since, waiting for the committee to reconvene. She's still officially part of the project, so she sends monthly reports, and in the meantime, she's being paid normally. She's built quite the real estate empire with that money, let me tell you.

After being ejected from the ship, she wandered around, tried to ask a cow for directions, got hungry and drank some of her milk (a galaxy-wide sign of friendship, apparently), stumbled upon a bunch of kids with a flashlight, and ended up sleeping against a tree until the Outreach guys found her.

After she failed to appear, a quorum was not reached, and the committee decided to put the project on hold for another 100 years. Public servants are the same everywhere.

May was representing her species in a committee to build a trans-stellar navigation tube (that's what the universal translator spat out, idk) that would allow for commerce among more than 300 star systems.

May was found wandering in the forest, trying to find her way back to her spaceship. It (and May) took a tumble after hitting some disturbance on the way to a summit on the other end of the galaxy.

Once the eggheads at the lab figured that out, it was just a matter of giving him a MiniDisc (hey, it was the 90s) with selected works by The Smiths on rotation. He's been solid and crying non-stop since then.

And then the real work began. How do we get him back to his normal state? It took a while to find the way his powers worked. Turns out, if he's in the company of someone sadder and more depressed than he is, he goes right back to solid form.

After a slight recalibration, we were able to pinpoint his location, but then the damn thing turned into a poodle of tears, and we had to carefully scoop him into a jar and bring him home. After a couple of runs through the strainer, we managed to get all the twigs and crap out.

When we told her how many people were looking for them and all the weird theories about them and their appearance, she snort-laughed for a whole minute. She also said the whole "they only have one tooth" thing was probably Uncle Oblongo. He was never very good at taking care of his teeth.

Louise, our liaison with the herd, is a pretty chill gal. We assumed she was a vegetarian, but she demolished our burger reserves. Not many cows in their bend of the river, apparently.

Turns out they're just shy and love their swampy corner of the Congolese jungle. They have no need for Netflix or any kind of notoriety, and raising tiny Mokeles while chilling in the water makes them happy to no end.
