Background Story

First catalogued by the JustUnleash field unit during a routine sweep of telephone-cable closets. The Co-Worker is currently designated Keter and demonstrates behavior consistent with classification Keter. Estimated threat index is 48/100 (MODERATE). The entity primarily remains motionless until directly addressed by name and has been encountered on 39 separate documented occasions.

Origin

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

Behavior

Primary observed behavior: remains motionless until directly addressed by name. Secondary cycle on a 37-minute interval.

Containment Procedures

Maintain perimeter of no less than 60 meters. Avoid use of open flame. Sector lockdown protocol JU-9B 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 Outer Loop stratum.

Survivor Testimony

"It didn't look at me. It looked at where I had just been. By the time I realised, the hallway was already different." — Survivor recording JU-019, redacted operator.
