**SUPPLEMENTAL: SECURITY TEAM DELTA-2 EVACUATION LOG** **CLASSIFICATION:** **CRITICAL INCIDENT / HIGH THREAT** **DATE:** July 03, 2026 **LOCATION:** Sector 9 (Escalator Room) **SUBJECT:** Security Team Delta-2 *** ### **I. MISSION OBJECTIVE** Following the "Mall Incursion" retreat, Security Team Delta-2 was dispatched to the Escalator Room to establish a hard barricade and place "Red Tag" warning signage. ### **II. ENVIRONMENTAL SHIFT** Upon arrival (09:00 hours), Delta-Lead reported immediate environmental degradation. * **Visuals:** The room was no longer sterile. It was dark, the air thick with condensation. * **Damage:** The bypass scaffolding erected yesterday had been violently dismantled. Steel poles were bent and scattered. * **The Alarm:** One of the escalators was emitting a continuous, high-pitched mechanical shriek. ### **III. THE AUDITORY ANOMALY** As the team placed the barricades, a new sound began. * **Description:** A rhythmic, metallic impact. *CLANG... (2 seconds)... CLANG... (2 seconds)...* * **Variance:** The rhythm was imperfect, suggesting manual operation rather than a machine loop. ### **IV. THE INCIDENT (TRANSCRIPT)** **Source:** Delta-Lead Body Mic **Time:** 09:14 AM > **Delta-Lead:** "Command, we are packing up. That noise is getting louder. It sounds like it's coming from *inside* the wall void." > > **Command (O'Connell):** "Copy. Finish the seal and evac." > > **Delta-Lead:** "Wait. Did you hear that? Stop moving." > *(Audio captures the metallic clanging stopping abruptly. Five seconds of silence.)* > > **Delta-Lead:** "It stopped. It's listening to u-" > *(A sound erupts on the tape. It is not mechanical. It is a deep, guttural yell, sounding simultaneously human and distorted, echoing from the escalator shaft.)* > > **Delta-Lead:** "GO! GO! DROP THE GEAR! MOVE!" > *(Sounds of equipment hitting the floor. Running footsteps. The whine of the electric transport cart accelerating.)* ### **V. THE CHASE (RADIO LOG)** **Delta-Lead (09:15 AM):** "Command! We are en route! It's behind us! It's fast!" **Command:** "Delta-Lead, report visual. What is pursuing?" **Delta-Lead:** "I don't know! I can hear it! It's heavy! It's hitting the walls! Keep the door open! Don't lock us out!" **Command:** "Door is cycling. Gemini is en route to your position." ### **VI. THE INTERCEPT** Unit Gemini (Wulfsige/Luca) intercepted the fleeing cart at the Sector 9 Junction. * **The Halt:** The security team skidded to a halt, hyperventilating. They pointed back down the corridor. * **The Findings:** Wulfsige and Luca advanced 500 meters down the return path. * *Visual:* Empty corridor. * *Auditory:* Silence. * *Olfactory:* **Zero.** No scent of a pursuer. No sweat, no ozone, no bacteria. * **The Camera:** A remote sensor left by Delta-2 is offline. Diagnostic indicates it was crushed, not just disabled. ### **VII. CONCLUSION** The pursuing entity—if physical—vanished the moment Unit Gemini arrived. The lack of scent is deeply concerning, suggesting the entity may not be biological, or it possesses the ability to mask its presence perfectly. **Status:** Sector 9 is totally quarantined. **End of Report.**
