SECURITY LOG: THRESHOLD BREACH (UNIDENTIFIED SIGNATURE)
CLASSIFICATION: RESTRICTED
DATE: May 02, 2026
INCIDENT TIME: 02:14 AM
LOCATION: Sector 0 (The Threshold / Blast Door)
At 02:14 hours, the primary magnetic lock sensors on the Threshold Blast Door triggered a Silent Trip alarm.
The sensor reading was anomalous in a specific way: the alarm was not triggered by an external force attempting entry from the AEGIS Lab side. The sensor indicated tactile pressure on the locking mechanism from the internal side — from within the Yellow Lobby.
When Security Team Alpha arrived 45 seconds later, the door was sealed. No unauthorized personnel were visible at the airlock or in the immediate corridor.
Due to the inexplicable nature of the sensor trip, Unit Gemini was roused from quarters and deployed to investigate.
Specialist Luca entered the Lobby and went to alert immediately. He circled the blast door, moving along the rivets and the floor seal.
Luca: "Someone was here. Like — right now. It smells like fresh sweat. Sharp. Fear. And... deodorant? Cheap stuff. Not AEGIS issue."
Specialist Wulfsige confirmed the trail independently.
Wulfsige: "It's human. Definitely human. Not a Mimic, not Bacteria — it smells like a person from the real world. But the trail vanishes three feet from the door."
A tactical transport cart was commandeered. Wulfsige and Luca conducted a high-speed sweep of the inner perimeter — the full Sector 0 loop.
Throughout the patrol, both Specialists reported fleeting, intermittent scent signatures matching the unknown individual. The trail was non-linear. It appeared strong in Corridor A, vanished completely, and reappeared in Corridor C without a connecting path between them. As if the intruder were phasing — present, then absent, then present elsewhere — moving at speeds or through mechanisms that left no continuous trace.
Research Team Lead Dr. Thorne has proposed a working hypothesis: a Civilian Noclip Event.
A civilian from the Frontrooms may have clipped into the Complex but remains in an unstable quantum state — partially phased, moving through the architecture rather than along it, intermittently visible or detectable, possibly trapped in the sub-ceiling architecture known as the Attic. This would explain the non-linear scent trail and the impossible transit times between detection points.
Security cameras offer no help here. Due to the closed-loop nature of the Complex, internal cameras do not transmit to the AEGIS control room when the Threshold is sealed. We have no visual record of the 02:14 event. We have two wolves' noses and a scent trail that leads nowhere.
The crew is in a state of high alert. The working image — a civilian trapped in the Lobby, desperately pressing on the blast door from the inside in the middle of the night while the facility sleeps on the other side — has affected morale significantly. It should.
Both Specialists are confident the intruder is not hostile. Wulfsige notes the scent profile contains panic, not aggression. But they are frustrated by their inability to establish a continuous track on a target that may not be fully in the room with them at any given moment.
Visual patrols are insufficient for a target that may be phasing through walls. Passive monitoring systems will be installed throughout Sector 0: battery-operated motion detectors and acoustic loggers that do not depend on the central camera network.
Additionally, the Lighthouse Protocol has been established: a beacon light will run continuously in the center of the Lobby, accompanied by a whiteboard message instructing any survivors to remain in place and await contact. If they can read it, we want them to stay where we can find them.
If they panicked and ran, we may already be too late.
End of Report.
