"We... we believe this was one of the newest settlements destroyed by a world-wide fungal infection, given the fact that it's still here at all. There isn't much reason to be coy about it, I suppose."

The calming effect appears to have varying results, some of the people panicking even worse and some others just turning to look at Serafall. She can hear a large group of people running through the tunnels near and above her.
After a moment, one of those who were actually calmed by the light, a young-looking man, speaks to Serafall.
"Who are you?"

As Giju approaches, the figure doesn't move beyond a few faint twitches, more indicative of rigor mortis than any conscious movements.

Matricardo finds himself in a suffocating darkness for a short instant, before the tell-tale creaking and cracking of concrete exposes him to light. To his left, he can see the Lincoln Memorial, and to his right, the Korean War Veterans Memorial. Much to his dismay, the few buildings he can see through the surrounding trees look just like those in Nuuk, although much, much more destroyed. Several fires can also be seen in the distance.
Almost immediately, he can feel the effects of significant radiation exposure, enough to cause nausea in a normal human.
@ThisThingisReallyBroken
Most people within earshot are... momentarily stunned, to the say the least. Many begin screaming and yelling in a language Ernest does not understand, but they appear to be following some kind of planned route as they do so.
@Junkoposter
Merlene's inspection doesn't reveal much. The obvious cause of death was hypothermia, and the bite marks appear to have been more tests than anything else, as though determining whether it would taste good. With this close inspection though, it becomes clear that the bite marks are from human teeth, but not from any mouth with the standard number or layout of teeth. Additionally, Merlene can feel, even through her boots, that the snow around here is unusually warm.

While everyone is having their conversations, a low, wide groaning can be heard coming from the lake, and the very center of the body of water appears to be bowing upwards slightly.

Gezora finds more normal marine life, but that odd fiber at the sea floor remains as well. At the same time, it seems as though many smaller islands that were once above water, given their closeness to the surface, are now below it.
@Andykhang
After a few moments of running ILEK finds herself in Brest. Just as with Nuuk, it's a shell of its former self, but the bio-electricity of a large number of beings can be sensed a few kilometers inland.

insert everything Lou and Crimson got
The aforementioned malignant growths appear to be the result of the genetics of the fungal infection itself and its host melding with that of various animals that it consumes, the most common appearing to be mosquito and generally insect-like for whatever reason, with wings and compound eyes, not necessarily in any proper place, being the usual.
More information on the specific aggressors mentioned as being responsible for almost as many deaths as the fungal infection is found as well. Primarily, there appears to be two dozen of them, each capable of outright supernatural feats that bypass the known laws of physics, such as being immune to most man-portable weapons and explosives, the ability to project energy as an attack, fly through the air, and many others.. Specific abilities between individuals vary, but it notes that at least seven are confirmed deceased and another two are unaccounted for
As X reads through all of this, the systems administrator adds a 25th entry. While this new individual is not named, a long-distance picture is available, that being of a somewhat normal-looking man, but grotesquely muscular, holding some kind of wooden club, and, given the compared size of the ruined cars next to him, at least ten feet tall. It is noted that the individual is believed to have only just appeared, with the given location being the remains of Washington D.C.
@The_Divine_Phoenix
Aya shortly finds a large city, referred to by signage as Allentown. Most of it, seemingly the specific areas along the river that passes through it, are in a similar state to Nuuk. The rest seems to be functioning somewhat normally, although with an informal division between the damaged sections of the city and the standing ones formed by a rather clean line of collapsed buildings.
@Lou_change
[just for context, you do realize that there's essentially a blizzard right on top of Nuuk, right?]
