CLASSIFICATION: LEVEL 2 – LIMITED DISTRIBUTION FILE REF: BRF-47

──────────────────────────────────────────────

SUBJECT: OBJECT-47-A [REDACTED] SUMMARY: Object-47-A is an item of anomalous origin currently designated ACTIVE and UNCONTAINED. Preliminary findings confirm correlation between Subject [██████ GRAY] and artifact manifestations. Multiple associated persons have been identified in connection with the anomaly; these individuals are listed as Collateral Associates under investigation. STATUS OF ASSOCIATES: POI-47-B (alias “The Artist”): [REDACTED – FILE CLOSED] POI-47-C (alias “The Voice”): ACTIVE, monitored for indirect influence POI-47-D (alias “The Song”): DECEASED, circumstances under review TIMELINE (SANITIZED): Object commissioned in [██████]. Initial irregularities observed during [██████]. Escalation events recorded [██/██/20██] through [██/██/20██]. Current monitoring ongoing. RISK ASSESSMENT (SUMMARY): Direct public hazard: LOW at present. Indirect influence risk: MODERATE via social and digital dissemination. Containment challenge: Artifact visibility and associated media footprint complicate conventional response. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Maintain continuous monitoring of digital platforms for anomalous dissemination. Restrict disclosure to vetted personnel only. Issue controlled communications to relevant civilian authorities under cover designations [██████]. Initiate contingency planning for artifact neutralization if escalation persists. NOTES: All detailed investigative material remains at LEVEL 5 – RESTRICTED. This briefing is intended for external coordination only. Unauthorized reproduction or transmission is strictly prohibited. ──────────────────────────────────────────────

DEPARTMENT OF ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA PERSON OF INTEREST DOSSIER – [█████████████]

──────────────────────────────────────────────

CLASSIFICATION: LEVEL 5 – RESTRICTED CODENAME: [REDACTED] – “THE INFLUENCER” STATUS: ACTIVE – SUBJECT AT LARGE FILE REF: POI-47-A ──────────────────────────────────────────────

IDENTITY: Full legal name [████████ GRAY], hereafter “DORIAN.” Male, est. mid-20s.

Occupation: social media content producer, lifestyle influencer.

Primary residence alternates between Los Angeles, CA and [DATA EXPUNGED], with multiple short-term leases recorded in New York, Miami, and London.

Subject demonstrates high fluidity of movement, difficult to track using traditional geospatial methods; location often triangulated only through geotag errors or background reflection analysis in uploaded content. Verified audience exceeds [██] million followers aggregated across platforms as of [████]. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Subject retains consistent presentation of youthfulness with no apparent degradation despite stress factors including poor sleep patterns, stimulant use, and prolonged high-intensity exposure to artificial lighting. Dermatological and biometric scans conducted covertly at [██████] revealed no anomalies detectable at clinical baseline, yet high-resolution image analysis (frames captured at 60fps under neutral lighting) shows a subtle shimmer distortion localized around facial features and ocular regions. Witnesses describe this as a “golden aura” or “built-in filter effect.” Notably, anomalies persist across digital and analog capture mediums, suggesting physical—not post-processing—origin. PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Subject presents with charm calibrated for high engagement: humorous self-deprecation, curated vulnerability, carefully rationed moments of “authenticity.” Observers note these traits collapse under private conditions, revealing dependency on constant surveillance. Subject demonstrates compulsive monitoring of engagement metrics, with physiological stress markers (pulse acceleration, perspiration, agitation) triggered when follower counts fluctuate below set thresholds. Reports suggest subject requires continual affirmation to stabilize mood. Analysts classify behavior within emerging cluster Digital Narcissistic Dependency Disorder (DNDD), subtype: Algorithmic Reliance. BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS (EXTRACT): Daily output cycle averaging [██] posts across multi-platform channels; nearly zero deviation in style or aesthetic branding. Collaborations conducted primarily with other influencers; interviews suggest partnerships treated as transactional “reach tests” rather than relationships. Interpersonal ties outside media sphere short-lived; terminated once interaction ceases to amplify brand visibility. Persistent denial of natural temporal processes. Frequently repeats mantras: “I don’t age,” “the algorithm keeps me alive,” “forever trending.” Private correspondences intercepted [SEE FILE: COMMS-47-C] reveal deep paranoia surrounding obscurity, irrelevance, and “being forgotten.” RISK ASSESSMENT: Primary Threat Vector: Subject exhibits anomalous preservation inconsistent with human biology, potentially tied to external artifact (Object-47-A). Stability of phenomenon unknown; catastrophic backlash event probable upon disruption. Secondary Threat Vector: Subject wields disproportionate cultural influence via parasocial bonds with millions of followers. Potential exists for mass manipulation, coordinated destabilization events, or memetic contagion if anomalous effect transmits through digital content. Containment Concern: Public profile makes overt extraction impossible. Subject disappearance or visible alteration could trigger widespread panic, conspiracy proliferation, and destabilization of online ecosystems.

ASSOCIATED ANOMALY:

Object-47-A (“THE PORTRAIT”)

[SEE CROSS-REF FILE ███████].

Artistic rendering by Basil [████████], initial medium oil on canvas, subsequently reproduced into encrypted AR/VR filter. Object demonstrates Transference Phenomenon: damage, aging, or corruption consistently recorded on artifact rather than subject. Pattern analysis confirms object acts as externalized vessel for entropy displacement. Experimentation indicates direct destruction of artifact may trigger accumulated return of biological decay to subject in catastrophic form. Clearance for trial remains under review; projected mortality index: [██████]. INCIDENT LOG EXCERPTS: [██/██/20██] – LOS ANGELES, CA: Subject observed leaving venue after physical altercation. Witnesses report head wound; later footage uploaded within 36 hours shows no injury. Cross-ref image analysis reveals matching laceration etched across Object-47-A. [██/██/20██] – NEW YORK, NY: Anonymous tip reported subject appearing intoxicated, incoherent. Security footage reviewed: subject displays pristine articulation, steady gait. Concurrent anomaly recorded in portrait: blurred features, streaked pigment resembling “slurred speech.” [██/██/20██] – MIAMI, FL: Deceased stray animal recovered near subject’s rented property. Autopsy inconclusive; lesions on corpse mirrored abstract distortions visible in Object-47-A during same timeframe. AGENT NOTES: Multiple field agents describe uncanny dissonance after encounters: “like interacting with a flawless projection,” “a person-shaped advertisement,” “all shine, no core.” Attempts at extended shadowing produce fatigue, nausea, and derealization in surveillance teams. Possible memetic contamination vector present in subject’s aura. Direct engagement prohibited pending further study. Recommendation: maintain digital surveillance, isolate anomalies for cross-reference with Object-47-A. CONTINGENCY MEASURES: Continuous metadata scraping of subject’s uploads to detect irregularities. Non-intrusive biometric monitoring via partnership with [████████]. Emergency Protocol 47-DELTA (suppression campaign, coordinated disinformation, proxy disappearance narratives) in case of containment breach or artifact compromise. [DATA EXPUNGED].

CLASSIFICATION: LEVEL 4 – SENSITIVE CODENAME: [REDACTED] – “THE ARTIST” STATUS: [██] – DECEASED (PRESUMED HOMICIDE) FILE REF: POI-47-B ──────────────────────────────────────────────

IDENTITY: Full legal name [████████ BASIL █████████], hereafter “BASIL.”

Male, early 30s at time of termination. Occupation: digital/3D artist specializing in hyperreal AR filters, VR environments, and photorealistic portraiture. Known for meticulous approach to digital realism; commissioned by multiple entertainment firms and private clients. Resided primarily in [██████], with short-term residencies in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Berlin. Demonstrated low public profile despite high technical acclaim. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Height: 178 cm. Build: unremarkable. Hair: dark, worn unstyled. Corrective eyewear required for extended sessions. Identifying marks: minor scar tissue on left forearm (childhood accident). Predominant attire: utilitarian—hoodies, jeans, worn sneakers. Studio environment consistently minimalist, dominated by high-performance hardware arrays, VR rigs, and sketchpads. PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Subject demonstrated marked introversion. Social interactions limited to professional peers and a small circle of acquaintances. Personality descriptors recurring in witness interviews: “absorbed,” “kind,” “distant,” “invisible outside of work.” Psychological autopsy indicates high creative dependency on external inspiration, localized exclusively in POI-47-A (“DORIAN”). Basil’s emotional life centered around devotion to muse; perceived Dorian as manifestation of perfection. Journals recovered from encrypted drive contain entries framing artistic practice as “offering” and “testimony to beauty incarnate.” Analysts suggest predisposition to obsessive fixation made subject vulnerable to anomalous entanglement. Notably, Basil treated Object-47-A’s emerging properties not as danger signals but as confirmation of transcendence. NOTABLE BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS: Documented studio sessions exceeding 70–80 hrs/week, with irregular eating and sleeping cycles. Dual redundancy protocols: encrypted local servers + analog sketch journals meticulously cross-referenced. Increasing disengagement from family/friends in final months; last known social interaction outside work dated [██/██/20██]. Demonstrated repeated boundary collapse with POI-47-A: unpaid commissions, personal favors, frequent direct access. Pattern of minimizing or dismissing anomaly manifestations as “artistic breakthroughs.” ASSOCIATED ANOMALY: Object-47-A “THE PORTRAIT.” Commissioned originally as experimental AR/VR render. Intended as proof of concept in photorealism. Transitioned into anomalous artifact exhibiting transference phenomena—physical/psychological degradation of POI-47-A displaced onto object substrate. Basil documented early glitches (flickering distortions, pigment “bleeding,” corrupted render logs), but private notes recovered show excitement rather than alarm. Forensic review of source files identified recursive coding patterns resembling self-referential loops; partial metadata includes embedded strings [DATA EXPUNGED]. INCIDENT SUMMARY: Approx. Date of Death: [██/██/20██]. Basil discovered deceased within studio. Forensic anomalies: No sign of forced entry. No physical trauma evident on remains. Object-47-A displayed sudden pigment fractures and seepage resembling blunt-force impact patterns inconsistent with studio environment. Blood traces present only within artifact fibers; none detected on floor or corpse. Hypothesis: Murder transposed onto artifact. Biological systems of Basil ceased function without visible cause—recorded as “biological null.” Artifact bore signs of trauma otherwise absent from physical world. RISK ASSESSMENT: Direct Threat: Neutralized at termination. Indirect Threat: Severe. Basil’s creative process produced anomaly foundation. His personal archives remain potential replication threat; research indicates possibility of spawning derivative vessels. Containment Concern: Emotional coding woven into artifact may conceal embedded triggers. Basil’s language in notes (“failsafe,” “mirror of soul”) suggests intentional integration of symbolic logic as safeguard. Reconstruction risks cascade failure or reactivation. ARCHIVAL RECOVERIES: Notebook Fragment 1: “He doesn’t change. I thought it was vanity. Now I think he is untouched, and I am the one unraveling.” Encrypted File Tag: “render_FINAL_devotion2.0” — corrupted, metadata shows [██] recursive loops. Audio Log [██/██/20██]: “When I see the portrait glitch, it’s as if it’s protecting him, absorbing everything. Maybe that’s what art is—taking the damage so he doesn’t have to.” AGENT NOTES: Subject described by peers as “gentle,” yet anomalies in artistic process display lethal potential. Analysts conclude Basil’s death constitutes first confirmed Collateral Sacrifice Event linked to Object-47-A. Internal assessment: Basil functioned as both creator and victim; devotion blinded him to escalating threat vectors. CURRENT STATUS: Family informed under fabricated narrative (“equipment malfunction / electrical fire”). Digital and physical archives secured by D.A.P. Division ████████. Decryption ongoing. Any attempt to reconstruct Basil’s rendering environments requires Level 5 clearance. Basil poses no direct threat post-mortem; however, his methodologies remain classified as High-Risk Intellectual Residue

IDENTITY: Full legal name [████████ HENRY ████████], hereafter “HENRY.”

Male, late 20s to early 30s.

Occupation: digital influencer, long-form podcaster, social media commentator.

Residency primarily Los Angeles, CA; maintains traveling schedule aligned with podcast tours and influencer conferences.

Estimated audience reach: [██] million across multi-platform media.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Tall, lean build. Fashion style deliberately provocative—unbuttoned suits, statement eyewear, curated “messy intellectual” aesthetic. Maintains sharp grooming. Observers note constant performative awareness of presence—rarely unrecorded. Subject self-documents obsessively; near-complete life-capture across digital devices. PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Extroverted contrarian. Subject thrives on dissonance, deploying hot takes, shock-value commentary, and contrarian truth-claims to cultivate influence. Analysts classify as Opportunistic Narcissistic Archetype. Displays high verbal intelligence, rapid improvisation, calculated deployment of charm. Private communications [SEE FILE COMMS-47-C2] reveal cold pragmatism: influence viewed exclusively in terms of leverage and market value. Relationship to POI-47-A (“DORIAN”): Subject demonstrates parasitic mentorship dynamic. Provides ideological framing: youth and beauty are “weapons, not gifts.” Reframed insecurity into appetite, encouraging Dorian to pursue excess and discard inhibition. Evidence suggests Henry accelerated Dorian’s psychological instability, functioning as catalyst for deepening anomaly entanglement with Object-47-A. NOTABLE BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS: Podcast releases structured around manufactured controversy; patterns of deliberately antagonizing specific cultural demographics to maximize reach. Demonstrated proficiency in psychological manipulation of peers. Witnesses report frequent use of undermining humor, subtle shaming, and competitive gamesmanship. Cultivates rivalry dynamics; appears to thrive on tension and “winner/loser” framing. Highly adaptive—when platform moderation threatens engagement, Henry pivots narrative to align with outrage currents. ASSOCIATED ANOMALY: Indirect. No anomalous properties observed in subject’s biology or immediate digital footprint. However, subject functions as Anomalous Amplifier—psychological and memetic influence accelerates destabilization in others. Cross-referencing timelines shows strong correlation between Henry’s involvement with Dorian and intensification of Object-47-A distortions. Analysts debate whether subject constitutes anomaly vector or merely opportunistic manipulator. INCIDENT SUMMARY (SELECTED): [██/██/20██] – LOS ANGELES: Podcast episode featuring Dorian. Subsequent artifact analysis shows pigment smears consistent with “grinning mouth” distortion—first instance of overt psychological corruption visible on Object-47-A. [██/██/20██] – SAN FRANCISCO: Following private meeting with Dorian, Object-47-A displayed lesions across canvas surface. Agents theorize Henry encouraged destructive behavior. [██/██/20██] – REMOTE BROADCAST: Henry publicly stated, “Decay is a choice. Stay in the light, and no one can touch you.” Within 48 hours, Object-47-A exhibited advanced structural cracks. RISK ASSESSMENT: Direct Threat: Moderate. Henry exerts influence over large audience but lacks anomalous biology. Indirect Threat: Severe. Psychological leverage over POI-47-A makes him significant vector for anomaly intensification. Subject encourages behavior patterns that trigger greater transference events in Object-47-A. Containment Concern: Removal of Henry from public ecosystem difficult due to broad visibility. Suppression likely to trigger conspiracy discourse, amplifying influence posthumously. AGENT NOTES: Agents describe Henry as “predatory,” “a mirror that flatters and cuts.” Multiple informants characterize relationship with Dorian as mentorship warped into exploitation. Where Basil saw devotion, Henry saw leverage. Analysts recommend classification as Auxiliary Catalyst Entity. Though not anomalous himself, continued access to POI-47-A presents high-risk escalation factor. CURRENT STATUS: Monitored remotely through media surveillance, metadata scraping, and indirect human assets. No direct containment attempts authorized at this time. Subject remains under Level 3 observation with escalation protocol should direct anomaly linkage be confirmed

CLASSIFICATION: LEVEL 3 – CONTROLLED / VICTIM FILE CODENAME: [REDACTED] – “THE SONG” STATUS: DECEASED (APPEARS VICTIM OF ANOMALOUS CHAIN) FILE REF: POI-47-D ──────────────────────────────────────────────

IDENTITY: Legal name [████████ SYBIL ███████], hereafter “SYBIL.” Female, early-20s at time of death.

Occupation: emerging musician, actor (small theatre, independent short films), frequent open-mic performer and content creator with growing local following.

Primary residence: [DATA EXPUNGED] (rented room / shared flat).

Recorded social presence: modest—followers in low tens of thousands; strong engagement in niche music communities and local venues. Known for authentic, vulnerable online persona; projected identity closely tied to artistic expression.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Height: 165 cm.

Build: slight. Hair: variable, often dyed to mark personal transitions or creative projects. Clothing: layered, bohemian, practical for stage performance. No distinguishing scars noted in official medical records aside from minor childhood injuries. Voice was central identifying feature; frequently described as “clear,” “raw,” “aching,” with strong emotional resonance. PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Personality baseline oriented toward artistic sincerity. Friends and colleagues consistently described subject as “vulnerable,” “heart-on-sleeve,” “brave in performance, hesitant in person.” Subject’s identity inseparable from creative output; personal worth measured against audience response. Exhibited high emotional reactivity to criticism, particularly when rejection intersected with perceived romantic investment. Clinical review: fragile self-concept, exacerbated by high-visibility rejection from POI-47-A (“DORIAN”). While no long-term psychiatric records available, anecdotal accounts confirm episodes of despair, withdrawal, and irregular contact with counseling services. Subject displayed maladaptive tendency to equate romantic validation with artistic legitimacy, making her unusually susceptible to exploitation by higher-profile figures. NOTABLE BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS: Regular attendance at late-night open mics, with live-streamed uploads posted unedited. Preferred raw acoustic presentation; avoided heavy production, reinforcing “authenticity” branding. Developed parasocial intimacy with small audience; responses often framed in language of personal disclosure rather than professional promotion. Historical pattern of forming relationships with prominent creatives as career footholds. Documented pursuit of POI-47-A doubled as both personal and professional opportunity. Marked decline in output and stage presence after Dorian’s rejection—setlists shortened, voice tremor increased, frequency of uploads dropped sharply. ASSOCIATED ANOMALY: Subject possessed no anomalous qualities in herself. However, her relationship with POI-47-A placed her within the influence radius of Object-47-A (“THE PORTRAIT”). Temporal analysis confirms: escalation in artifact distortions occurred immediately after SYBIL’s public rejection and subsequent emotional collapse. Distortions catalogued: elongated mouth-shapes resembling silent screams, pigment streaking akin to tears, tremor-like disruptions in canvas fibers. Analysts classify SYBIL as collateral vector—her psychological deterioration feeding into the anomaly’s intensification loop. INCIDENT SUMMARY (EXPANDED): [██/██/20██] – VENUE EVENT, [██████]: SYBIL performed acoustic collaboration with POI-47-A, later posted on his primary channel. Mixed reception online. POI-47-A dismissed performance as “cute, not content” during livestream. Clip went viral, leading to public ridicule directed at SYBIL. Surveillance logs confirm immediate uptick in negative commentary. Within 48 hrs, SYBIL’s own uploads exhibited defensive tone and erratic scheduling. [██/██/20██] – PRIVATE COMMUNICATION: Partial intercepted message to confidant: “I thought he saw me—he said I was perfect for the verse. Now he says I’m messy. Maybe I never was anything but a chorus.” This statement coincides with initial pigment fractures on Object-47-A in the area corresponding to mouth region. [██/██/20██] – RESIDENCE, [DATA EXPUNGED]: SYBIL located deceased by roommate. Initial law enforcement report categorized as probable suicide. No evidence of intrusion or overt physical struggle. Forensic analysis inconclusive; toxicology negative for lethal overdose. Corpse bore no trauma aligned with artifact distortions. Cause of death filed as undetermined biological collapse. [██/██/20██] – ARTIFACT REACTION: Object-47-A recorded rapid pigment seepage forming streaks across cheeks of depicted figure. Surface texture analysis noted distortions identical to tremors visible in SYBIL’s last live performance. Suggests direct correlation between subject’s emotional state and artifact resonance cycle. RISK ASSESSMENT: Direct Threat: Minimal. SYBIL did not generate anomalous phenomena independently. Indirect Threat: Moderate. As with Basil, subject functioned as unwitting catalyst. Her demise intensified artifact activity and strengthened POI-47-A’s parasitic bond. Analysts suggest anomaly feeds on collateral emotional trauma. Containment Concern: Public grief cycle risks amplifying anomaly exposure. Fan memorialization increased POI-47-A’s follower counts, strengthening artifact resonance through concentrated attention. Managed disinformation required to contain mythologizing. ARCHIVAL RECOVERIES (SELECTED): REC-SYB-01 (Audio): Subject practicing verse, voice wavering between hope and anxiety. Metadata timestamp aligns with early visual tremors on Object-47-A. Analog Journal Fragment: “If singing is disappearing into someone else’s ear and having them keep you there, then I guess I am always asking permission.” COMMS-47-D (Social Media): Early exchange between SYBIL and POI-47-A displays supportive tone; later interactions clipped, dismissive. Documented erosion of trust visible in timestamps. AGENT NOTES: Field personnel categorize SYBIL as Collateral Sacrifice Event – Emotional Vector. Analysts conclude subject’s greatest vulnerability was the conflation of love and art—making rejection a dual wound. Public narrative already reframing SYBIL as “tragic muse” in online fan communities; poses secondary memetic hazard if left unchecked. Ethical handling paramount. Agents instructed to maintain compassion-first cover, while limiting exposure of anomaly context. CURRENT STATUS / ACTION ITEMS: Comms Monitoring: Ongoing analysis of tribute hashtags and memorial streams for signs of anomalous amplification. Community Management: Deploy covert influence operations discouraging amateur investigations into SYBIL’s death. Seed narratives emphasizing natural tragedy, avoid references to POI-47-A beyond standard public record. Family Liaison: Provide grief support through civilian intermediaries; conceal anomalous factors. Archival Preservation: All non-classified recordings secured in D.A.P. Archive Vault [████]. Limited, sanitized access permitted to family upon clearance. Artifact Correlation Research: Continue tracking distortion cycles for confirmation of victim-trigger link. ────────────────────────────────────────────── MOTTO: PRESERVE NORMALCY. PROTECT HUMANITY.

Analysis reveals a consistent pattern: interpersonal entanglements generate measurable distortion events in artifact substrate, suggesting the anomaly operates through parasitic extraction of emotional/psychological trauma within Dorian’s immediate orbit. ────────────────────────────────────────────── TIMELINE OF EVENTS AND ANOMALOUS CORRELATIONS ────────────────────────────────────────────── [INITIAL PHASE – COMMISSION] Date: [██/██/20██] Event: BASIL commences AR/VR portrait project of DORIAN. Initial goal: hyperreal artistic rendering. Artifact State: Stable baseline. No distortions present. Early render logs clean. Analyst Note: Foundation established for Object-47-A anomaly. Basil’s devotion likely created ideal conditions for parasitic bond. [PHASE I – CREATION & FIRST GLITCHES] Date: [██/██/20██] – BASIL & DORIAN Event: Project nearing completion. Basil conducts prolonged private recording sessions with Dorian as model. Artifact State: Minor flickering glitches, pigment bleed in AR render logs. Basil interprets as artistic breakthrough. Distortion Log Entry: “Canvas shimmer, pigment shift across jawline, pulse effect.” Correlation: Initial anomalies coincide with Basil’s obsessive fixation intensifying. [PHASE II – HENRY ENTERS] Date: [██/██/20██] – DORIAN & HENRY Event: Henry begins podcast collaborations with Dorian. Introduces ideology of beauty as leverage. Artifact State: First structural distortions recorded—hairline fractures visible in paint surface. Subtle grin elongation detected. Distortion Log Entry: “Mouth corners stretch; pigment thickens; edges sharpen unnaturally.” Correlation: Dorian’s psychological instability escalates under Henry’s influence. Artifact begins to record behavioral corruption rather than mere physical transfer. [PHASE III – BASIL DECEASED] Date: [██/██/20██] – INCIDENT BASIL Event: Basil found deceased in studio. No physical trauma, but Object-47-A registers blunt-force patterning and crimson seepage. Artifact State: Severe fracture along left canvas quadrant, seepage resembling blood saturation. Distortion Log Entry: “Impact ripple, pigment splatter; resonance matched to homicide trauma.” Correlation: Artifact appears to absorb act of violence. Hypothesis: Basil’s death displaced into artifact substrate, preserving Dorian’s physical continuity. [PHASE IV – HENRY’S CATALYSIS] Date: [██/██/20██] – PODCAST RELEASE Event: Henry broadcasts discussion featuring Dorian. Audio clip includes line: “Decay is a choice.” Artifact State: New cracks spiderwebbing across lower canvas. Paint distortion consistent with sneer. Distortion Log Entry: “Pigment separation at lip, cracks radiating outward.” Correlation: Dorian emboldened to embrace destructive behaviors. Artifact mutates in response to accelerated moral corrosion. [PHASE V – SYBIL COLLABORATION] Date: [██/██/20██] – PERFORMANCE VENUE Event: Sybil performs acoustic set with Dorian. Video posted, followed by Dorian’s public dismissal: “It’s cute, not content.” Artifact State: Distortion manifests as streaks resembling tears. Mouth region warps downward. Distortion Log Entry: “Weeping pigment, tremor lines around jaw; tremulous degradation noted.” Correlation: Artifact mirrors emotional trauma inflicted on Sybil. Suggests anomaly feeds on collateral despair in Dorian’s associates. [PHASE VI – SYBIL DECEASED] Date: [██/██/20██] – INCIDENT SYBIL Event: Sybil discovered deceased. No physical trauma; cause undetermined. Artifact State: Rapid pigment seepage within 24–72 hrs. Distortion resembles trembling lips, blurred eyes. Distortion Log Entry: “Streaks lateral; faint pigment quivering; resonance wave detected in fibers.” Correlation: Artifact consumes finality of Sybil’s collapse, embedding emotional violence as permanent distortion. [PHASE VII – POST-COLLATERAL REINFORCEMENT] Date: [██/██/20██ → Present] Event: Dorian’s follower count spikes amid public mourning for Sybil. Henry increases association, framing Dorian as survivor/visionary. Artifact State: Intensified corruption across multiple vectors—sagging flesh textures, blurred hand distortions, lesions across torso region. Distortion Log Entry: “Composite degradation; artifact now presents cumulative record of multiple trauma events.” Correlation: Every interpersonal bond either destroyed or exploited has amplified artifact resonance. Dorian remains pristine, but artifact exhibits near-irreversible degradation. ────────────────────────────────────────────── ANALYST SYNTHESIS: Creation Vector: Basil’s devotion generated anomalous artifact. Corruption Catalyst: Henry weaponized Dorian’s insecurities, accelerating distortions. Collateral Sacrifice: Sybil’s emotional collapse provided fuel for amplification cycle. Preservation Outcome: Artifact absorbs decay, leaving Dorian untouched, yet increasingly grotesque. Working Hypothesis: Object-47-A functions as external entropy sink, drawing upon the trauma of Dorian’s orbit. Victims (muse, corrupter, admirer) act as conduits, channeling human suffering into artifact substrate. The cycle reinforces parasitic bond: Dorian grows more untouchable, while the portrait mutates into repository of corruption. Containment Outlook: Without neutralization, artifact will continue to escalate, requiring constant collateral input. Long-term risk includes memetic dissemination through digital reproductions of artifact imagery. ────────────────────────────────────────────── MOTTO: PRESERVE NORMALCY. PROTECT HUMANITY.
