OWL - The Occult Wildlife Landing
The Occult Wildlife Landing (OWL) is a nonprofit organization that advocates for the rights of supernatural creatures to live a life unmolested by humanity’s relentless spread and greed.
While OWL has become the de-facto head of the conservationist movement in the United States, many claim it’s not as innocent as it appears. A number of small, seemingly-disconnected terrorist cells wear the OWL insignia with pride. These groups– which tend to contain a disproportionate number of supernatural creatures and beings– commit high-profile acts of public violence with the intent of furthering OWL’s core objectives. In the past, they’ve blown up oil pipelines, stopped development projects, and even infected congregations of people with mutagenic viruses.
OWL denies any involvement with these so-called “OWL-inspired terrorist organizations” (or OITOs for short). However, many people conflate the two and consider OWL itself to be a terrorist organization.
One thing is for certain: when OWL sends a blast to its followers urging protest, they’re taken seriously.

I see dead people
As Trinity paces around the area, looking around, their eyes seem to shift colors to anyone looking at them, going from their natural color to a dark red. They also seem to jump around at odd places and intervals, as if not really looking at the place itself.

Active Reconnaissance
Check your mini-map.
The user inserts or siphons the necessary energy into the Echo Tracer before activating the effect.

The nature of this gadget's power as a legendary, one-of-a-kind artifact stems from its integration of code from the Maikendo cartridge/virtual reality, the creator seeming to have intimately experienced its deepest layers.
