Background Story

First catalogued by the JustUnleash field unit during a routine sweep of carpeted conference rooms. Periphery is currently designated Safe and demonstrates behavior consistent with classification Safe. Estimated threat index is 58/100 (MODERATE). The entity primarily responds to whistling at 880 Hz with a deepening dread and has been encountered on 33 separate documented occasions.

Origin

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

Behavior

Primary observed behavior: responds to whistling at 880 Hz with a deepening dread. Secondary cycle on a 52-minute interval.

Containment Procedures

Maintain perimeter of no less than 43 meters. Avoid use of open flame. 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 Periphery stratum.
