Background Story

First catalogued by the JustUnleash field unit during a routine sweep of drywall maintenance shafts. Tile Algae is currently designated Hostile and demonstrates behavior consistent with classification Hostile. Estimated threat index is 77/100 (HIGH). The entity primarily tracks barometric pressure changes and surfaces during drops and has been encountered on 28 separate documented occasions.

Origin

Origin remains [HOSTILE-LEVEL HYPOTHESIS]. Recovered field recordings suggest the entity may be a manifestation of unknown organism 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 41-minute interval.

Containment Procedures

Maintain perimeter of no less than 23 meters. Avoid use of reflective gear. Sector lockdown protocol JU-1D 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-026, redacted operator.
