Background Story

First catalogued by the JustUnleash field unit during a routine sweep of broken vending alcoves. Echo Cartographer is currently designated Safe and demonstrates behavior consistent with classification Safe. Estimated threat index is 22/100 (LOW). The entity primarily advances only when no light source is directly oriented at it 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 reality distorter phenomena native to deeper sectors. Cross-reference with parallel sightings in adjacent levels.

Behavior

Primary observed behavior: advances only when no light source is directly oriented at it. Secondary cycle on a 84-minute interval.

Containment Procedures

Maintain perimeter of no less than 38 meters. Avoid use of open flame. 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 Sub-Strata 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-072, redacted operator.
