Epsiode 12 - London is Burned
from Call of Cthulhu: Masks of Nyarlathotep · host It's Still Recording...
This transcript features two documentarians reviewing archival audio and logs from a 1920s investigative mission, focusing on the catastrophic aftermath of a raid on a cultist stronghold in London. The text highlights a profound epistemological failure, where the Metropolitan Police are unable to perceive cosmic horrors because such entities fall outside their rigid framework of reality and social order. Central to the narrative is the societal Faraday cage, a concept explaining how the cult's leader uses aristocratic privilege and industrial wealth to insulate his atrocities from legal scrutiny. As the investigators realise that the state actively protects the monster through bureaucratic blindness, they are forced into a desperate, isolated exile. Ultimately, the source illustrates the shattering psychological toll on the heroes, who must rely on absurdly mundane tools to combat an impenetrable institutional and supernatural conspiracy.
