DAILY ROTATING MEMOS — SITE-01J ([REDACTED HOTEL], ███████ TOWN)
NOTICE: SURVEILLANCE DRIFT
West-facing CCTV feed (Lot C) dropped signal at 0200 hrs. Local excuse circulated as “electrical brownout.” IT confirms system recorded static bleed consistent with ARC-VIRGIL-01 presence. Reset protocols enacted.
LOCAL GOSSIP LOG — CULTURAL COVER
Desk clerk at diner overheard:
“That tall guy who walks at night? Looks like the same fella my grandmother swore she saw back in the ‘50s. Doesn’t age a day. Probably his son.”
Filed as: Folklore Camouflage (Approved).
DRILL ALERT
Next 48 hours: all agents must rotate through Scenario B — Beatrice Initiates Conversation. Phrasing update: cover identities revised to “hotel guests,” “conference attendees,” or “travel reps.” Reminder: do not improvise familiarity.
BREACH WARNING (FALSE ALARM)
Report filed of “headless figure” near Hollow’s Bridge. Confirmed civilian Halloween prop (mechanical). Nevertheless, site logged under Potential Spillover Lore. Field teams reminded: town festival season increases chance of anomaly misidentification.
ARCHIVAL REMINDER
Marginalia check rotation scheduled for Vault-██. Re-examine 1577 Venetian painting under low light. Staff previously reported outline of “man at the edge” appearing clearer after prolonged exposure. Standing order: limit viewing time <10 minutes.
STAFF CULTURE NOTE
Unsolicited post-it found on breakroom board:
“She deserves better.”
Handwriting untraceable. Item destroyed, copy archived under Soap Opera Effect – Minor Expression.
CONTAINMENT REMINDER
Agents in rotation must not carry personal photographs or jewelry into field. Incident 09/17: pearl earring recorded anomalous displacement during static surge. Directorate orders: immediate confiscation, Vault storage.
DIRECTORATE FOOTER:
Notices rotate daily. Some matter, some don’t. All are logged.
Preserve normalcy. Protect humanity. Control the anomaly.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY — CURRENT SIGHTINGS
ARC-DANTE-01 and ARC-BEATRICE-01 observed in active proximity at [REDACTED HOTEL], ███████ TOWN.
Dante presents as late-20s male, withdrawn, solitary. Beatrice manifests in civilian role as hotel front desk clerk, unaware of anomaly context. This cycle marks the first recorded instance in which Dante shows no recognition of Beatrice.
ARC-VIRGIL-01 observed once (hotel courtyard, 09/12/25). Subject vocalized to no visible presence; five minutes of audio erased in situ.
FIELD NOTES (AUGUST–SEPTEMBER 2025)
08/14/25 — INITIAL CONTACT:
Beatrice checked in two guests, smiling; Dante passed lobby without acknowledgement. Operatives confirmed no eye contact. Analyst margin: “She lit up the room. He carried shadows. Neither looked twice.”
08/27/25 — COURTYARD SIGHTING:
ARC-VIRGIL-01 recorded at distance, leaning against stone wall. Surveillance officer reports lips moving, no audio captured. Presence coincided with static bleed on all feeds.
09/02/25 — DINER INCIDENT:
Local waitress told agents-in-cover: “That quiet young man tips in exact change every time. Odd, but polite.” Filed under Ambient Folklore.
09/12/25 — HOTEL DESK INTERACTION:
Beatrice addressed Dante directly: “You’re checking out?” Subject responded flatly, “No. Just waiting.” No recognition, no intimacy displayed. Agent ███████ noted: “The lack of knowing was worse than the deaths.”
09/18/25 — AUDIO LOSS:
Entire lobby sound system recorded four minutes of white hiss while Beatrice conversed with civilian guests. She gestured, laughed. Tape playback produced only static.
09/20/25 — NIGHT WALK:
Dante observed pacing perimeter of hotel lot between 0100–0200 hrs. Gait slow, deliberate. No anomalous activity aside from pigeons dispersing abruptly at his approach.
STAFF CULTURE NOTES
Breakroom graffiti: “She deserves better, but maybe now she’s free.”
Analyst ███████ wrote in margin: “For once, he is the ghost, not her.”
Directorate warns against personal editorializing in field logs.
OPERATIONAL STATUS
Continue passive observation.
Quarterly psychological evaluation enforced for all assigned staff.
Suppress local rumors under folklore narrative (“haunted hotel,” “ageless strangers”).
Elevate case to Level-5 review if Dante re-establishes recognition of Beatrice or if ARC-VIRGIL-01 makes direct contact.
DIRECTORATE SEAL — OPERATIONS DIVISION
