Helsing Creek Detective Unit: H.C.D.U
The city of Helsing Creek has long been plagued by a series of unknown, unsolvable, and fundamentally unnatural criminal activities. These incidents defied conventional investigative methods and posed a persistent threat to public safety. In response to this ongoing crisis, the Helsing Creek Detective Unit (H.C.D.U) was established as a specialized law enforcement division dedicated to addressing these anomalous occurrences.
Initially, the H.C.D.U achieved measurable success in reducing the frequency of such incidents. However, despite these efforts, the crimes never ceased entirely. It was at this critical juncture that the controversial scientist, Sir Lok Holmes, intervened by deploying an artificial gas across the city. This gas, while intended as a countermeasure, had unforeseen consequences, it transformed the previously unknown entities into fully unnatural beings, manifesting as creatures drawn from various mythologies.
The escalation in threat level resulted in significant operational losses for the H.C.D.U, with personnel casualties mounting rapidly. As a final recourse, the unit sought assistance from Sir Holmes once more. In response, he further modified the gas, this time imbuing the remaining detectives with unique abilities tailored to their individual specializations and personal interests.
