Ashley leans forward and pays close attention. "I did not see the original, but I know what was in it. Still, maybe it will help give us clues to watch all the information. We do have a generator to power the laptop back up, do we not?" He asks, curling his fingers in.

Anna- "GAH! Creepy monster ho has my hair!"
Ione- "God, these damn monsters are so disGUSTing! YUCK!"

Seth- "Jesus... It really does look like your hair Anna-- I mean, wow-- I guess this thing is going on all over the world? Mummies in every country? I didn't understand a lick of that, anybody know German or Dutch or whatever that was?"

Stevie- "Don't gotta be a rocket surgeon to catch 'Ich bin Osiris'. Isn't that like the god of Egypt? Does that mean the German one is the boss? That'd about fuckin' figure."

Anna- "Actually Horus-Re was the head honcho of the Egyptian pantheon, so maybe this guy is a lieutenant."
Marie- "It is worldwide. God almighty."
Seth- "Well hell, that's a depressing notion. Guess we had to see that one comin' though. Not like something's so special about the Pac NW right? What do we do with this?"

Thierry- "My German isn't perfect but I could decipher all that with repeated plays. But I'd like to state firmly right now that I cannot believe this is everywhere. Even Al Qaeda doesn't have operatives in every single country in the world. Probably Lichtenstein, but not Zanzibar. You know what I mean?"
Seth- "Good point Thierry. So, any thoughts on how these freaks DID this? I mean, obviously some kind of weird magic, but like... how? How did they organize this? They just look like a bunch of teenagers. What did they have like... a Facebook group or something?!"

Ben- "If only we had some automatic translator... But I guess this guy didn't say anything terribly important either? We should still try to write it down though."
Thierry- "Yes, google translate is sadly out of service. But I think I can handle it." Osiris did sound Egyptian, but Ben didn't know the hierarchy within the ancient Egyptian pantheon. And for all he knew, it was all just part of the mummy joke. Hadn't the first boy implied that 'they' had decided to pretend to be mummies? Or was it the guts that was the pretend part? Still seemed kind of immature for an actual god."And yeah, they probably organised themselves over the internet, and then possibly coordinated some magic ritual or such. Seems plausible enough. Another alternative is still that a group of supernatural entities broke into this world all at the same time, and simply possessed these boys. If that's the case, they could've organised themselves through magic communication." Ione- "I don't know if I understand any of it!"
Marie- "Well, there seems to be an international cabal of these monsters. I don't think we have nearly enough information to start guessing at numbers or their methods. I do feel like this one's deific moniker is probably just a bit of self-aggrandizement."

Ashley watched, and became several shades paler in the meantime, though thankfully unobserved from his friends. He was more upset by the notion that everyone was dead. Everyone, everywhere, and there was no escape from those things. Even if they defeated the gutless boy somehow, there would be more, trying to end both them and society. He stared at the others, a little wild-eyed despite his otherwise stoic expression, and then covered his face with his hands. It took him several minutes to push himself away from that place. Hope.. Light...there was still hope wasn't there? He collected his thoughts. "...If they are Gods that would explain their powers.. Do you think that is their leader? Ours did not claim to be a God. Or maybe they are all his priests." He seems increasingly somber, but more determined. He does not watch the others' faces, but the floor instead. Ione- "No, no, NO. They can't be gods. It's stupid!"
"I am sure this has more information so that we may better understand." Thierry- "I don't know if the information will help us answer these questions we've been asking so far, but it will certainly tell us more about the state of the world."

Seth- "OK, so in our video, there was talk about 'we', how many of these kids are there? Are there more around here? Like a little clique of mummies? I can't imagine just one 14 year old set up everything for our area. What are they doing now? Are they just gonna wait for everyone to die, or are they gonna do something else? I don't want to freak people out, but we gotta consider what their next move is."

Stevie- "Wouldn't it be funny if goin' mummy just fucked them up so bad they couldn't bust a next move?"
Marie- "It's pretty clear we can't count on that."

"If I was one of them, then I would wait until the survivors were both gathered and complacent, and then unleash a monster they did not know how to deal with upon them. Especially while they slept. I imagine they will not stop here, they will find our settlements, and destroy them, killing us." He seems grimly certain of that fate, as he considers all of this. "If we have not been getting any transmissions from anywhere else, then I have no doubt that every city of any importance here has been taken out, and is now gone. We cannot rely on them. Of the military and others, I do not know. Perhaps here are still things to be done. But we need to get to them, before they can get to us."

Ben- "Well, I'm going to have to go with Marie on this one. We just don't know enough to make educated guesses. They could be doing anything from waiting for us to die off like the mortals that we are, or they could be planning a second doomsday that will kill us all unless we find them and stop them tonight." Ben glanced at the laptop and wondered if there might be more clues in some other files. Something that might allow them to piece at least something together."If they were relying on the internet to organise themselves and coordinate a ritual, then that's not going to work now, is it? Though since they had the mojo to make the dead rise, they might have access to mystical ways of communicating."

"I am sure they can use magic to communicate. I would be sincerely surprised if they organized using the internet, but I do not understand their nature or reasoning." He replies, putting his hands in his pocket again. He's pale and agitated, and seems more on edge than before.

Thierry- "Maybe this speculation is really counterproductive. It was an interesting look into the larger world, watching that video -"
Ione- "More like horrific!"
Thierry- "-but I think we should just devise a plan to make hard copies of all the data possible and add it to our collected intelligence before discussing it much further. What do you think Seth?"
Seth- "Yeah, that's only one of however many files we're gonna find on this thing. Let's just find out what we can and take it one step at a time."
Stevie- "I don't know... It's just effin' crazy. What if we are gonna get jumped tonight?"
Seth- "Oh, let's not get excited. We just found this drive and we haven't gotten jumped every other night. I mean, if it was a movie we'd get jumped tonight, but if they were gonna do it, why wait until now? Let's not go out there half cocked... so to speak."
Marie- "OK, this looks like secretary work now. That's me. Ben, you start skimming the information from that computer, on the off chance there's any super time sensitive data in it. Remember as much as you can so you can give us the Cliff's Notes later. Thierry, I'll help you write the notice about Dr. Victor, then get you translating der Deutschemummy. Stevie, Seth, Ashley, Anna, Ione please don't start telling people about the incident just yet, but be easy to find this afternoon so you can help us get the word out... We'll try to be done within the hour."
