Item #: FOC-074
Object Class: Arcane
Name: The Reflection Thief
Containment Protocols: FOC-074 is to be contained within a specially designed containment chamber at Site M. The chamber is to be fitted with mirrors along its walls to prevent FOC-074 from manifesting reflections and escaping. Access to FOC-074's containment chamber is restricted to Level 4 personnel and requires written authorization from the Assistant Director of Site M.
Description: FOC-074 is an anomalous entity with the ability to steal and manifest reflections. When FOC-074 comes into contact with an individual's reflection, it can absorb and transport it to an alternate, shadowy realm. As a result, the affected individual is left without a visible reflection.
Victims of FOC-074's effects undergo a gradual loss of self-identity. As time passes, they experience a diminishing sense of self and a growing detachment from their own existence. Meanwhile, the stolen reflections manifest as autonomous entities within the shadowy realm. These reflections exhibit consciousness and a sense of identity, separate from their original hosts.
The shadowy realm is believed to exist as a parallel dimension linked to FOC-074's anomalous properties. Research into this realm is limited due to the inherent risks associated with entering it. However, exploratory expeditions have revealed an environment devoid of light, with manifestations of the stolen reflections interacting in complex and often cryptic ways.
Note from Assistant Director of Site M:
FOC-074 presents a unique challenge in terms of containment and ethical considerations. The gradual loss of identity experienced by victims is a distressing consequence that underscores the necessity of our containment measures. We must prioritize the protection of personnel and the prevention of further reflection theft incidents.
The shadowy realm that harbors the stolen reflections remains largely uncharted territory, with potential implications for our understanding of consciousness and the nature of existence. Further research into this realm's properties is to be approached with extreme caution and only by individuals with expertise in dimensional anomalies.
It is imperative that we remain vigilant in monitoring FOC-074 and its containment chamber. Any irregularities or signs of reflection theft must be reported immediately to Site M's security personnel for swift containment and resolution.
— Assistant Director, Site M
Breach Log:
Date: 23/8/20██
Incident: A breach of FOC-074's containment chamber occurred due to a power outage that temporarily disabled the containment chamber's mirrored walls. During this time, FOC-074 managed to steal the reflection of two security personnel assigned to monitor the chamber.
Containment Response: Site M security personnel acted swiftly to restore power to the containment chamber, reactivating the mirrored walls. The stolen reflections were successfully recovered by employing a specialized containment protocol developed in anticipation of such breaches. The affected security personnel were subjected to psychological evaluation and therapy to mitigate potential long-term effects.
Outcome: The breach highlighted the critical importance of maintaining the integrity of FOC-074's containment chamber. Additional redundancy measures have been implemented to prevent similar incidents in the future. The incident also underscored the need for ongoing psychological support for personnel exposed to FOC-074's effects.
