Coming to this sudden realisation Osiris became more alert than he was before, his mind full of scrambled thoughts as he tried to find out how he was found out. Technology shouldn't have advanced far enough yet to be able to detect magical energy, this technology was made public 5 years after the calamity… Unless these people belonged to the mysterious organisation that backed the S.C.U, but the chance that this is true is very slim yet not nonexistent.
This organisation was said to be the source of all major technical breakthroughs including said device that would be able to pinpoint magical energy. Luckily as it would be in its early stages the device shouldn't be able to track in real time so Osiris doesn't have to move from his position yet, but he can't stay still for too long as they might catch up to him and be able to ambush him. Humans are cunning like that.
This mysterious organisation has never made itself public even during his human life but rumors were spread. They said that this organisation had its hands dipped in every major corporation on the globe, from governments to the major corporations. Sometimes these rumors were just rumors, but once in a while not only did these rumors come true they would reveal even more.
The threat level of the three people that currently reside inside of the room below of him suddenly became much more dangerous. First he thought that these people might be the sight overseers but them being operatives from this mysterious organisation were not at all impossible.
It also could be some stupid form of luck that these people had discovered something similar to the device that would be 'made' 5 years from now. This could be some sick form of punishment that karma has sent his way for killing those soldiers but he would never know. Osiris was an avid believer of karma, do something good and you will be rewarded but do something bad and you shall be punished.
"... moved ..." Osiris' ears peaked up when the conversation below him began feeling cold. He started concentration again on the conversation and left the worrying thoughts for later.
"What do you mean it moved Ben, it hasn't moved for the past six months!" The panicked voice of Mark was heard, this caused the ever stoic woman to raise an eyebrow in curiosity.
"As I said before Mark, the growing magical signal has moved from its spot..." There was a dramatic pause… "And it is currently all over our base." The last part was said with less confidence than the first and following the sentence two people gasping were heard, even the ever stoic woman was put off guard.
'Shit, Never mind knowing what date it is, if I am to be discovered it won't end up well for me'. Osiris' heart would've been beating nervously but his body knew that it was better to keep its organ calm so as to not disrupt the peak function of the body. He never expected to be discovered this soon, heck he didn't expect to be discovered at all.
"T-that means the creature is here doesn't it?" Swallowing dryly and chuckling nervously in disbelief Mark started looking nervously at his colleagues who were equally as nervous as he was. No one currently living has had enough experience with these kinds of situations, let alone some bottomfeeders of an organisation .
Osiris was ready to leave, the plan was long abandoned as his life was more precious than knowledge, well in his eyes anyway. Not caring about being silent anymore Osiris' started to run towards the direction where the parameter of the base was closest to him with haste. Not hearing the loud noise his feet made when he pushed off the roof that kicked up the gravel beneath his feet.
This noise alerted the people inside, and as following everyone in the base knew seconds later that something was wrong. Alarms were raised and spotlights were shown towards the roof of the building and the surrounding area causing the immediate area to be lit up like a christmas tree.
People were running all around the base in search of the origin of this commotion all blissfully unaware that the cause of all this is currently trying to leave without being seen. Osiris knew he would be able to slaughter his way out of here but if his thoughts about the organization are correct he would rather avoid direct confrontation.
Dodging spotlights that were moving around Osiris was too focused on not being lit up he didn't think about what might be around the corner of the building he was currently running next to. Due to this miscalculation Osiris now stood face to face with a wide eyed male, both in silence for a second until the man started screaming and using his radioing his location to the rest of the camp.
Before Osiris could leave the vicinity of where he was reported, multiple footsteps of the teams that were close by in the area was heard. Luckily the male in front of him didn't seem to carry any sort of weapon but he was nonetheless a threat to his survival. The chances of him describing him to his superiors was great and as he has already been seen by humans six months ago the chance of them connecting some dots wasn't small.
The air changed and a heartbeat was suddenly heart, the rhythm disturbing the surrounding sounds and cancelling the footsteps. The male audibly swallowed nervously as he felt his neck hairs stand up straight and goosebumps were felt. The man knew something was off but before he could start to run away or register what had happened 5 razor sharp claws penetrated his chest where his heart was located and when the claws were ripped out a heart was held within.
Not bothering to loiter around any longer Osiris threw the heart on the ground in the snow and disappeared in a burst of incredible speed. Osiris was long gone before even the body of the now dead male fell to the ground making the snow around his body painted red with a gaping hole in its chest.
