A month passes by, since your first mission and the encounter with the Sandmen, and you gradually settle into your new career. Nothing of great excitement occurs (excitement meaning danger, destruction and high risk of horrible, screaming death), but there are two investigations to take your time.
The first event is a series of UFO sightings about ten miles out of town. Your investigations into that quickly reveal that they’re simply being faked by the Air Force in order to draw attention away from the real UFO that they’re studying nearby. Stanfield orders you off the case after that, saying that it would be handled by diplomatic officers in DC.
The second involved a fairy sighting in a Chicago graveyard last week. This one turns out to be real. They look like tiny humans with wings that glow various different colors. You manage to take a few photos, and even interact with them a bit. They seem child-like and playful, and just simply ignore any attempts at meaningful communications, preferring to dance their dances and play their games in the cold air. The situation simply required you to have the site temporary declared off limits due to a chemical spill, and wait for the fairies to stop appearing from wherever they come from. It lasts for three days, and then they disappear back to wherever they came from. Oddly enough, most information on fairies in OSIRS is classified at security level five and above.
One day, late in November, you receive an urgent message from the Institute. At 5:45 PM, you all receive a text message on your Institute issue cell phones. 'Report to the briefing room immediately. Urgent. –Stanfield.'

[sblock]Over the last month, you’ve managed to construct your PDA/Motion Sensor. Progress is slow at one point, due to miniaturization difficulties, but Z eventually digs into the lab and comes up with a crystal for you and instructions on how to install it that does the trick. She doesn’t say so, but it’s very obviously alien technology. It does the job, and you currently have one working prototype, completed the previous day.
