Background Story
First catalogued by the JustUnleash field unit during a routine sweep of abandoned office cubicles. The Reach is currently designated Safe and demonstrates behavior consistent with classification Safe. Estimated threat index is 21/100 (LOW). The entity primarily operates on a 47-minute hunting cycle synced to fluorescent flicker rates and has been encountered on 26 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: operates on a 47-minute hunting cycle synced to fluorescent flicker rates. Secondary cycle on a 12-minute interval.
Containment Procedures
Maintain perimeter of no less than 60 meters. Avoid use of high-frequency audio. Sector lockdown protocol JU-3D 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
