M-Id-01-00

“Essence of Light”

“To not be mistaken for an apple.”

Risk Classification

Affinity: Undetermined

Attribute: Identity (Suspected)

Origin: Nil     Status: Site O-Z0  (Previously G-Z1: Terminated, Unconfirmed)

 

State of 01-00 is unknown after the fate of Site G-Z1 following its ‘Zeroed Horizon’.

 

Description: 01-00 is a particularly bright speck of light attached to the end of a dead, withered branch. From a distance and through the Cognito Filters, the light can be mistaken for an apple.

01-00 frequently shifts its form when viewed through the Cognition Terminal (See in the Reports section). It is speculated to be a quasi-sapient entity with abstract forms. Little is unfortunately known about 01-00’s nature, physical make (if it even truly possesses one), or intentions.

01-00 is considered to be amongst the first ever known and studied Corrupted. However, all data pertaining to 01-00 no longer exists after the destruction of G-Z1, becoming OZ-0.

 

Site O-Z0 has now been reinstated as G-Z7.

Imminent Containment Breach: 0 (Unknown).

Materials: No known materials have been produced or harvested from 01-00.

Managemental Procedures/Protocols: 01-00 is to be kept in an enclosure no larger than 6m3 with very minimal to no maintenance required. Enclosure is to be fitted with a pane of transparent material (20% glass, 40% acrylic, 40% Caldera Industries and CogitO low grade structural blend for reinforcement).

01-00 has no known alternative states as of recording. Corrupted is to be observed by Workers on the allocated Floor simultaneously with the Overseer and Navigator. Administrative Level Employees (Clearance Level 3-2) may be granted temporary access to auxiliary scrying crystals to observe any abnormalities.

Due to its generally safe nature, there are no known suppression or subjugation protocols in place. For smooth operations, it is advised that Workers that enter the enclosure are to ensure that:

• They do not bear hostility to 01-00.
• Do not touch any of 01-00’s forms, whether they can see it or not.
• Avoid the urge to ‘eat’ 01-00.
• All Workers have their eyes checked upon entry and exit for any changes.

Story/Origin: Unknown.

Records/Reports:

Shape Shifting Anomaly

The report will focus on the shapes, entities, and forms 01-00 has been observed to take, dubbed as ‘Aberrations of light’ through the Cognito Filter.

• Overseer observed 01-00 morph into what appeared to be a wingless bird.
• Passing Employees have reported that 01-00 ‘never transforms’ in spite of what is written in reports by the Navigator.
• 01-00 rarely assumes a humanoid form resembling a child between 7-9 years old.
• Reports have witnessed younger variations.
• 01-00 may assume a form that exceeds its enclosure but will never ‘leak’ through the materials.
• 01-00 has been seen to cease shedding ‘light’ in the presence of a distressed Worker or Employee, instead of becoming brighter or assuming a form through the Cognito Filter in what is believed to be an attempt to cheer them up.
• 01-00 is one of the very few Corrupted that can bypass or interact with the Cognito Filters.

Obliteration: Zeroed Horizon [???]

It is unknown if the Corrupted perished along with the Site. A reinstatement order has been made. However –

On behalf of our Abyssal Mother, the situation is rather complicated to include. Apologies to all curious Navigators and Overseers. To the off chance that this mattered to you… Good luck.

Note: CognitO/Cognition Filters are simply an Atelier Item/device created by the Atelier CogitO which protects its user from all visual and auditorial phenomena that may trigger distress. They are mandatory for all Sites as per our partnership, and as one of our sponsors.

This includes and is not limited to: blood, wounds, death, bodies, massacres, genitals, memetic agents and other Corrupted phenomena.

 

Remember. There is no shortage of Workers and Employees.

Overseers and Navigators? Not so much.
