Background Story

First catalogued by the JustUnleash field unit during a routine sweep of infinite reception lobbies. Borrowed Smile is currently designated Euclid and demonstrates behavior consistent with classification Euclid. Estimated threat index is 94/100 (EXTREME). The entity primarily tracks barometric pressure changes and surfaces during drops and has been encountered on 19 separate documented occasions.

Origin

Origin remains [EUCLID-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: tracks barometric pressure changes and surfaces during drops. Secondary cycle on a 74-minute interval.

Containment Procedures

Maintain perimeter of no less than 43 meters. Avoid use of flash photography. Sector lockdown protocol JU-3D 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.

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-023, redacted operator.

Field Notes — Restricted

During incident ████████████, subject JU-023 was observed ████████████ before withdrawing into infinite reception lobbies. Cross-link withheld pending clearance level 5.

Known Abilities

  • Static field emission
  • Reflective desynchronization
  • Spatial loop generation

Weaknesses

  • Lead glass
  • Iron filings
  • Faraday enclosures

Signs of Presence

  • HVAC hesitates for 1.4 seconds
  • Distant single piano note
