In 2016, the Weird Book organization received an anonymous tape marked with the phrase "Let the world know." It is believed that the recording was sent by the individuals heard in the audio, yet their identities remain unknown, as no one has been able to locate or identify them. The authenticity of the audio content is convincing and appears to involve one of the legendary "Parasitic Machines." These rumored devices, said to have emerged in the aftermath of the Great Darkness, are believed to operate by consuming biological material and are capable of performing remarkable feats. The exact number of these machines is not known, but it is speculated that there could be many.
