It had started up north initially. Docks, shipyards and other coastal areas had been attacked across the last few weeks. Always under cover of darkness and with a lot of damage. Ships had been sank, warehouses had been torn open and a lot of people had been injured or killed. Most interestingly the few witnesses who got a good look at the attacker had claimed it was some kind of huge monster, descriptions varied from person to person with talk of teeth sharper than a tiger, skin thicker than an elephant, coils like a snake and even wings. The timing was never consistent so very few could make long term plans against the attacks without disrupting business, hired guns cost too much to keep long term and shutting down shipping would risk losing business to rivals.
Luckily Africa had protectors who didn't care about money, first off the Jungle Patrol had set up forces in the next few towns and structures down the coast to defend against the supposed monster, with vehicles and heavy firearms ready to respond quickly to any reports of another incident. Secondly the Ghost who walks had taken interest. Kit Walker had reinvented himself as a low key labourer looking for some quick cash while he was in town. Some of the other workers had refused to take night shifts until the danger passed so it was easy enough getting the job, plus with his level of physical fitness required of his work as the Phantom the job was easy. Devil and Hero had found cover nearby to enjoy their food and join the battle if and when it started.
Tonight was unseasonably foggy, necessitating extra lights strung up around the area while everyone worked. Kit was part of a group moving lumber from trucks to warehouses ready for shipping in the morning. The horn in the distance signalled an approaching ship ready to dock. Hopefully Kit could use his break time to check out what the ship was carrying. If it was cargo or passengers that was attracting the attacks then he wanted to find out while there was no danger.
ooc: Anyone who wants to drop in go for it.
