Entity Designation: H-231 — “Hollow Mimic”

Threat Level: Delta-3 (Localized Containment Required)
Last Recorded Activity: Ashford, Nebraska — Sector 12 Shaft
Status: Active — Under Observation

The Hollow Mimic is a non-corporeal anomaly capable of replicating human vocal patterns and movement with unsettling precision. It is most frequently encountered in abandoned industrial zones, particularly subterranean environments where sound distortion is natural.

Unlike traditional auditory hallucinations, the Mimic’s presence can be detected visually for brief moments — appearing as a translucent silhouette of the observer themselves or of a recently missing person.

Behavior and Observations

• Mimic initiates contact through familiar voices, often repeating phrases associated with distress (“Help me,” “Stay here,” “It’s safe now”).
  
  

• Responding verbally seems to strengthen its projection and extend the time of manifestation.
  
  

• It maintains a three-second delay between speech and movement, as if processing input before imitation.
  
  

• Entities observed under high-frequency scanners appear hollow, lacking internal mass or heat signature.

Containment Notes

• Personnel encountering auditory mimicry in isolation zones must activate white noise emitters and report immediately.
  
  

• Direct communication is prohibited; eye contact with the projection should not exceed five seconds.
  
  

• Samples collected from contaminated areas indicate subsonic resonance may be the source of the entity’s manifestation.
  
  

Additional Notes

Recovered tape (File H-231-A) records an unknown voice stating:

“We called down, and something called back. Then it wore our words.”

Further analysis ongoing. Personnel assigned to post-incident cleanup are under mandatory observation for linguistic contamination.

Entity Designation: C-109 — “Crawler”

Threat Level: Epsilon-2 (Visual Hazard / Class-B Cognitohazard)
Last Recorded Activity: Sublevel Maintenance Corridor, Ashford Freight Terminal
Status: Confirmed Active

Overview

The Crawler is a humanoid anomaly capable of assuming the appearance of inanimate objects, primarily mannequins, maintenance figures, or storage dummies. It remains perfectly motionless under direct observation and uses visual fixation as both camouflage and weapon.

Personnel report intense nausea, derealization, and auditory distortion following eye contact with the entity’s facial area. Extended exposure (over three seconds) results in irreversible psychotic breakdown or complete catatonia.

Behavior and Observations

• Commonly found in abandoned malls, subway tunnels, and storage hangars, usually positioned near exits or light sources.
  
  

• Appears dormant until the observer looks away or blinks — subsequent reappearance locations vary unpredictably within a 20–30 meter radius.
  
  

• Thermal and EM scans show no biological readings. Surface texture resembles painted polymer mixed with human keratin.
  
  

• Some field agents reported faint clicking prior to manifestation — origin undetermined.
  
  

Containment Notes

• Entry into C-109 active zones requires Class-4 visual filters.
  
  

• Agents must avoid direct optical engagement; navigation to be performed via body-mounted camera feed with delay buffering.
  
  

• Any figure resembling a mannequin, statue, or maintenance dummy in restricted zones is to be treated as potentially hostile until verified inert.
  
  

• Audio lures or flashing strobe deterrents appear ineffective.
  
  

Addendum C-109-B

Recovered mall security footage (timestamp unknown) shows a display figure moving subtly behind the cleaning staff. When the lights flickered, the camera feed looped for eight frames. No staff were recovered from that floor.
