**MISSION LOG: OPERATION "SILENT WARD"** **CLASSIFICATION:** **CRITICAL / CLASS-X THREAT** **DATE:** October 31, 2026 **LOCATION:** Sector 19 ("The Sanatorium") **SQUAD:** Unit Gemini (Specialists Wulfsige & Luca), Support Team Echo-9 **REPORTING OFFICER:** Cpt. Reynolds (Echo-9 Actual) *** ### **I. MISSION PARAMETERS** The objective was desperate. A localized reality breach in Seattle, WA (Real World) was expanding. Our data indicated the anchor point for this breach was located deep within Sector 19 of the Backrooms—a biome resembling a sterile, infinite hospital from the 1920s. **Goal:** Locate the "Black Box" of the lost Alpha Team (MIA 2024) and retrieve the inverse-frequency codes to seal the breach in Seattle. **Stakes:** If we failed, the breach would randomize and give good chance that null spaces and voids would be all over the metro area. ### **II. INFILTRATION: THE "WHITE NOISE"** **08:00 Hours:** We breached the threshold. Sector 19 is terrifying not because of what is there, but what isn't. There is no dust. No smell. Just blinding white tiles and the sound of a fluorescent hum that hits both 120hz and 18,000Hz. The human team was immediately disoriented. Two men threw up from vertigo. **Asset Response:** * **Luca:** Immediately pinned his ears back. He reported a "high-pitched screaming" coming from the walls that none of us could hear. * **Wulfsige:** Took point. He refused to let anyone touch the walls. *"Don't touch the paint,"* he ordered. *"It's wet. But it's not paint."* ### **III. THE ENCOUNTER: ROOM 402** **09:15 Hours:** We found the Alpha Team’s gear pile in Room 402. The gear was intact. The men were gone. As Pvt. Lewis reached for the data drive, the lights cut. Not just off. The darkness was physical. **The Audio Hallucination:** Suddenly, we heard Pvt. Lewis screaming. But Lewis was standing right next to me, silent. The screaming was coming from the *intercom*. It was a recording of his death... We think from the future. The psychological impact was instant. The squad began to panic. Weapons were raised at empty shadows. **Gemini Action:** * **Luca:** He didn't freeze. He sprinted into the dark. He wasn't running away; he was *hunting*. He tracked the source of the broadcast to a vent in the ceiling. He slashed the speaker wire, killing the sound. * **Wulfsige:** He grabbed Lewis by the vest and slammed him against the wall—shielding him with his own body. Wulfsige let out a yell that shook the floor tiles. It wasn't aggression; it was a **Reality Check**. The sheer volume of it snapped the team out of the hypnosis. ### **IV. THE CHASE: NON-EUCLIDEAN PURSUIT** **09:20 Hours:** We secured the drive. Then the building woke up. The corridors began to stretch. A ten-foot hallway became a mile long in the blink of an eye. Doors we just passed disappeared. We were being digested. **The Entity:** We finally saw it. "The Head Nurse." A towering, faceless figure. It moved by clicking—stuttering through space like a bad video edit. **The Navigation:** We were lost. The map was useless. The compass spun in circles. **Luca saved us.** He shouted, *"The smell! The antiseptic smell loops around! Follow the rot!"* Luca realized the "clean" smell was the trap. The exit smelled like decay. He led us sprinting through a maze that defied physics. He took turns that shouldn't have existed, jumping through windows that led to stairwells. He moved with a speed and fluidity that was barely visible. ### **V. THE STAND: THE ELEVATOR** **09:35 Hours:** We reached the extraction elevator. The doors were jammed. The Entity was clicking down the hall, gaining speed, scraping the ceiling. Wulfsige threw his weapon to me. *"Get them inside,"* he said. He turned to face the thing. Wulfsige jammed his fingers into the steel elevator doors. I heard the metal screach. He ripped the doors open with brute force, making them to come off track, creating a gap for us. **The Impact:** As the last man dove in, the Entity struck. It didn't hit Wulfsige; it *passed through* him. We saw Wulfsige drop to one knee. He groaned—a sound of agony I’ve never heard from a living thing. As best I could tell the Entity was trying to phase-shift his heart out of his chest. Luca screamed, *"WULFSIGE!"* and lunged to grab him. Wulfsige, blinded by pain, still had the presence of mind to grab Luca’s vest and throw him into the elevator. Then Wulfsige rolled backward, tumbling into the car just as the emergency brakes released. ### **VI. AFTERMATH** We plummeted 40 floors. When we hit the Lobby (Safe Zone), Wulfsige was unconscious. His fur was white where the Entity had touched him. It was bleached of color. His core temperature was 92 degrees. Luca was curled around him, trying to help the medics, terrified that the "cold" would take him. We got the data. The Seattle breach is sealed. But I will never forget the sound of that hospital. And I will never forget that when reality broke, the only thing that held the line was a wolf who refused to let us die. **Status of Gemini:** * **Luca:** Physically unhurt. Psychologically shaken. Refuses to leave Wulfsige’s side. * **Wulfsige:** Stable. Recovering in the Med-Bay. He woke up an hour ago. First thing he asked was, *"Did Lewis make it?"* **End of Report.**
