Sheriff's Office liaisons arrived at the facility before midnight. A department spokesperson called the response a full situational assessment. This follows a week of reported strange lights over the bayou and unexplained absences in Port Laveau.

A department spokesperson issued a terse advisory: residents are urged to remain calm. The Ledger concurs and reminds citizens that panic serves no one.
