The following articles did not appear in various Unity newspapers on the first of April 1923.

TheUnityReporter: DOUBLE TROUBLE! PAIR OF MONSTERS TRASH DOWNTOWN UNITY!

  • Terror stalked the streets today as not one, but two collosal fiends 
    destroyed a vast area of Unity yesterday evening. Shortly after midnight, 
    residents of the JenksHill area were awoken by crashing sounds, and emerged to 
    see the terrifying spectacle of Great Cthulhu, a hundred-foot tall tentacled 
    monstrosity, crushing buildings and devouring the unfortunate citizens within. 
    The Great Old One was accompanied by a number of Star Spawn, themselves several 
    storeys high, who terrorized stragglers. "It was horrible," said eye witness 
    Franklin Mint, of 3rd Street, "There were people running and screaming all over 
    the place. It's enough to drive you mad."
    
    Moments latter, "Black Goat of the Woods with One Thousand Young" Shub-Niggurath 
    emerged from parts unknown, and proceeded to join Cthulhu in an orgy of 
    destruction that lasted almost an hour. After their daemonic appetite for mayhem 
    had been sated, the fiends moved off in the direction of VillersHill. Cthulhu 
    was last seen climbing the [[WHPLRadio|WHPL Radio]] tower, clutching an attractive young woman. 
    If you were that woman, TheUnityReporter would like to hear from you!

TheUnityTimesChronicle: CTHULHU, SHUB-NIGGURATH ATTACK CITY

  • In a bizarre yet destructive incident late last night, the Great Old Ones 
    Cthulhu, previously thought to be sleeping dreamlessly in the sunken city of 
    R'Lyeh, and Shub-Niggurath, Black Goat of the Woods with A Thousand Young, 
    attacked the JenksHill district of Unity, apparently without provocation. The 
    pair, who were accompanied by an unknown number of Star Spawn, caused 
    considerable loss of life, and damage to public and private buildings, before 
    making off in the direction of VillersHill.
    
    While preliminary identifications of the culprits have been made by the few 
    surviving eye witnesses who are not currently in the care of UnityAsylum, police 
    are remaining cautious as to the possibility of swift arrests. "We must as 
    always conduct this investigation by the book if we are to achieve the desired 
    result in court." said Chief of Police [[LloydMcDonall|Lloyd McDonall]] in a statement issued 
    shortly after the incident, adding "It's going to one hell of an identity 
    parade."

DodgsonDiscusses: Great Old Ones Not So Great

  • You will have no doubt heard about the recent attacks on our fair city. 
    While I would never celebrate another's misfortune, I believe that at least one 
    good thing has resulted from the devastation. It is a wake-up call to alert us 
    to a threat to our way of life, a threat we have ignored for too long. This 
    threat is even greater than that of corpulent, non-union tradesmen and their 
    miscreant offspring. I speak, of course, of the threat of hundred-foot tall 
    creatures from beyond the cosmic gulfs of time and space arriving and trampling 
    on our houses.
    
    As a town, it is our duty to do something about this supernatural menace. But 
    what can we do, you ask? The answer is simple. We must fight back! Their immense 
    size may give them the advantage when tearing the roof off an orphanage and 
    feasting on the helpless children inside, but it will also make them easy to 
    find. So, who is with me? Grab whatever weapon you can find and meet me on
    JenkinCommon at midnight, when these creatures are certain to show themselves.
    Yes, one glance at them is enough to bring the walls of sanity crashing down,
    but I have faith that the insurmountable Unity spirit will see us through. Join
    me fighting the good fight against these cyclopean horrors! We have nothing
    to lose but our minds!
