Background Story
First catalogued by the JustUnleash field unit during a routine sweep of broken vending alcoves. Pool Drifter is currently designated Hostile and demonstrates behavior consistent with classification Hostile. Estimated threat index is 71/100 (HIGH). The entity primarily mimics ambient HVAC noise to mask approach and has been encountered on 16 separate documented occasions.
Origin
Origin remains [HOSTILE-LEVEL HYPOTHESIS]. Recovered field recordings suggest the entity may be a manifestation of liminal creature phenomena native to deeper sectors. Cross-reference with parallel sightings in adjacent levels.
Behavior
Primary observed behavior: mimics ambient HVAC noise to mask approach. Secondary cycle on a 26-minute interval.
Containment Procedures
Maintain perimeter of no less than 56 meters. Avoid use of high-frequency audio. Sector lockdown protocol JU-4B 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-038, redacted operator.
