Background Story

First catalogued by the JustUnleash field unit during a routine sweep of service stairwells. Soft Janitor is currently designated Hostile and demonstrates behavior consistent with classification Hostile. Estimated threat index is 50/100 (MODERATE). The entity primarily drifts toward the source of any recording equipment and has been encountered on 22 separate documented occasions.

Origin

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

Behavior

Primary observed behavior: drifts toward the source of any recording equipment. Secondary cycle on a 80-minute interval.

Containment Procedures

Maintain perimeter of no less than 53 meters. Avoid use of high-frequency audio. Sector lockdown protocol JU-9C 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 Core stratum.
