Background Story

First catalogued by the JustUnleash field unit during a routine sweep of loading docks at dusk. Long Shoulder is currently designated Unknown and demonstrates behavior consistent with classification Unknown. Estimated threat index is 68/100 (HIGH). The entity primarily tracks barometric pressure changes and surfaces during drops and has been encountered on 21 separate documented occasions.

Origin

Origin remains [UNKNOWN-LEVEL HYPOTHESIS]. Recovered field recordings suggest the entity may be a manifestation of stalker phenomena native to deeper sectors. Cross-reference with parallel sightings in adjacent levels.

Behavior

Primary observed behavior: tracks barometric pressure changes and surfaces during drops. Secondary cycle on a 78-minute interval.

Containment Procedures

Maintain perimeter of no less than 36 meters. Avoid use of flash photography. Sector lockdown protocol JU-9D applies if three sightings occur within 24 hours.

Investigation Notes

Sensor logs indicate elevated electromagnetic readings during all confirmed encounters. Theoretical model places this entity within the Quiet Layer stratum.
