Background Story
First catalogued by the JustUnleash field unit during a routine sweep of dripping ceiling-tile chambers. The Counter is currently designated Hostile and demonstrates behavior consistent with classification Hostile. Estimated threat index is 79/100 (HIGH). The entity primarily follows recently-walked carpet tracks in reverse and has been encountered on 38 separate documented occasions.
Origin
Origin remains [HOSTILE-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: follows recently-walked carpet tracks in reverse. Secondary cycle on a 73-minute interval.
Containment Procedures
Maintain perimeter of no less than 42 meters. Avoid use of high-frequency audio. Sector lockdown protocol JU-7A 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 Sub-Strata stratum.
Survivor Testimony
