Background Story

First catalogued by the JustUnleash field unit during a routine sweep of carpeted conference rooms. The Forgotten Shift is currently designated Euclid and demonstrates behavior consistent with classification Euclid. Estimated threat index is 78/100 (HIGH). The entity primarily ignores wanderers wearing yellow but pursues all other colors and has been encountered on 24 separate documented occasions.

Origin

Origin remains [EUCLID-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: ignores wanderers wearing yellow but pursues all other colors. Secondary cycle on a 51-minute interval.

Containment Procedures

Maintain perimeter of no less than 39 meters. Avoid use of high-frequency audio. Sector lockdown protocol JU-3C 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 Periphery stratum.

Survivor Testimony
