ENTITY DESIGNATION: IMG-03 — “INVISIBLE MAN” / GRIFFIN-TYPE PHASE DIVERGENT
FILE REF: ER-IMG-03 / CLASSIFICATION: LEVEL 4 — CLASSIFIED / ACCESS: CONTROLLED+
LAST UPDATED: 2025-09-22
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

OVERVIEW — EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Subject IMG-03 denotes a recurrent class of localized, self-directed ontological anomalies exhibiting macroscopic optical negation (hereafter “invisibility”) coupled with transient mass-phase modulation and high-order cognitive volatility. Historically aligns with canonical accounts labeled “Invisible Man” (literary precedents noted for investigatory context only). IMG-03 instances demonstrate opportunistic predation, high adaptive learning, improvised tool use, and aggressive social manipulation. Containment requires dynamic layered approaches — perceptual anchors, motion capture redundancy, and robust non-visual tracking arrays.

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

  1. IDENTIFICATION & PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

  • Codename(s): IMG-03, “Invisible Man” (operational), Subject G (recovery ops).

  • Apparent baseline: Anthropoid bipedal organism with human morphology when rendered (height ~1.7–1.9 m reported). Visual presentation varies from fully non-visible to partially refractive under certain wavelengths.

  • Core anomalous property: Persistent optical negation across visual spectrum (400–700 nm) achieved without external cloaking device in observed cases. Negation persists in direct observation and photographic/filmed media; variable in some cases under UV/IR interrogation.

  • Secondary properties: Mass-phase modulation (partial through-matter interactions observed), altered thermal signature, low-amplitude EM field variation correlated with subject motion. Vocalizations may be absent, masked, or mimicry-based.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
2) BEHAVIORAL PROFILE — OBSERVED PATTERNS

  • Social/Goal Orientation: Predatory and self-preserving. Subjects seek concealment, surveillance advantage, and isolation of victims. When capable, subjects manipulate social vectors (deception, impersonation via recorded/imitated voices).

  • Adaptive Learning: Rapid procedural learning in response to containment measures. Notable ability to exploit small gaps in sensor coverage and social procedures (e.g., misdirection of patrols, manipulation of witnesses).

  • Violence Profile: Opportunistic lethal violence primarily to remove witnesses or secure resources. Escalation to gratuitous violence reported in later stages; psychotic episodes with dialogic hallucinations precede some events.

  • Communication: Variable — may be non-verbal (tactile markings), recorded voice mimicry, or through intermediaries (coerced human agents). Mimicry is contextually accurate and may exploit personal knowledge of targets.

  • Circadian/Temporal Patterns: No consistent diurnal cycle. Some subjects show increased activity at night or during low-visibility weather; others opportunistically during daylight where social opacity exists.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
3) CAPABILITIES & LIMITATIONS — TECHNICAL NOTES
Capabilities

  • Optical Negation: Complete invisibility to unaided human vision and standard visible-spectrum imaging. May not fully negate edge-effects (water ripples, displaced dust), which provide indirect detection vectors.

  • Partial Tangible Interaction: Subjects can affect and be affected by macroscopic objects (open doors, manipulate weapons). Touch/force is reported as normal when contact occurs.

  • Voice Mimicry: High-fidelity reproduction of recorded voices (see Incident Logs). Can utilize playback devices to simulate presence.

  • Environmental Exploitation: Uses ambient clutter and structural complexity to enhance concealment; shows facility with HVAC, wiring, and confined spaces.

Limitations / Weaknesses

  • Non-optical Sensors: Generally detectable via multi-modal sensing (thermal IR, LIDAR, ultrasonic, pressure mats, motion vectors). Many instances attempt to suppress or evade these, but basic redundancy is effective.

  • Physical Residue: Interaction with material environments leaves transferable traces (partial fingerprints, DNA, fiber transfer) when contact occurs — recovery contingent on prompt scene processing.

  • Light Refraction Artifacts: Under high-resolution laser scan and polarized backlighting, boundary refractive index variations may be measurable. Specialized active illumination (coherent light sweeps) increases detection probability.

  • Psychological Instability: Tendency toward cognitive degradation under prolonged isolation; this can be exploited for negotiation/containment but also increases unpredictability.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
4) THREAT ASSESSMENT (TACTICAL & STRATEGIC)

  • Immediate Threat Level: HIGH — due to stealth, lethal capability, and manipulation of social systems.

  • Collateral Risk: HIGH — potential for mass panic if public exposure occurs; risk of escalatory violence against containment teams and civilians.

  • Long-term Risk: MODERATE — risk of memetic spread (public fascination/imitative behaviors) if cultural artifacts leak; potential for replication via experimental re-creation (see Research Division notes).

  • Recommended Operational Posture: Contain » Isolate » Study. Avoid public disclosure; preserve evidence chain; prioritize nonlethal neutralization and forensic capture.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
5) CONTAINMENT PROTOCOLS — STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE (SOP IMG-03)
A. Immediate Field Response (Breach / Sightings)

  1. Seal perimeter — establish 15m exclusion ring; deploy non-visual detection arrays (thermal, LIDAR, seismic, acoustic).

  2. Deploy portable polarized laser sweep units (PLSU) and backscatter panels to detect refractive edge.

  3. Use controlled aerosolized particulate (non-toxic) to reveal presence via particle displacement; avoid combustible or reactive agents.

  4. Engage remote manipulators for retrieval where possible; human approach only under Level-3+ authorization with hazard suits and multi-sensor readout.

  5. Witness management: Isolate and sequester witnesses for interview; administer short-term amnestic protocol only with Directorate approval.

B. Secure Capture & Transport

  1. Prefer capture in net-gated enclosure lined with Faraday mesh + thermal dampening. Nets must be pressure-sensitive (to capture boundary contact) and laced with conductive tracing for EM signature correlation.

  2. Transport in sealed crate with internal non-visual monitoring; maintain video + multi-modal logs; apply sedation only if specimen cooperation and physiology permit (administered by Medical Director).

  3. All contact requires Level-4 PPE; avoid direct line-of-sight reliance for movement.

C. Long-Term Containment (Site)

  1. Chamber: Non-reflective, sensor-dense chamber (thermal, LIDAR, ultrasonic, pressure grid, laser curtain). Environmental controls to prevent undue stress (temperature, light cycles).

  2. Protocol: Two-person rule for all interactions, continuous multi-channel monitoring, daily psychiatric assessments. Rotate attendants to prevent empathic exploitation.

  3. Restraints: Use non-visual tactile restraints (pressure cuffs) and automated responsive gates; avoid opaque suffocation methods that may prompt violent escape attempts.

D. Public Safety / Disclosure

  • No public acknowledgment. Any media leakage triggers Directive Alpha Containment (see Media & Memetics SOP). Legal cover via plausible civilian incidents is authorized where necessary.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
6) MEDICAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL NOTES

  • Physiological: When recovered, subjects may present normal vital signs but elevated cortisol, irregular heart rhythms, and EM anomalies in EEG readings. Metabolic rate variable.

  • Neuropsychological: High incidence of dissociation, identity fragmentation, and auditory hallucinations. Some subjects report “voices” or dialogic presence (self-referential monologue). Particular caution for interrogations — subject may exploit empathic weaknesses.

  • Treatment: Stabilize vitals, isolate sensory input for controlled interviews, engage forensic linguist for voice/mimicry analysis. No approved "cure" for optical negation; research into targeted molecular markers ongoing.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
7) RESEARCH & EXPERIMENTAL NOTES (RESTRICTED)

  • Hypotheses under consideration: (a) anomalous alteration of local refractive index via nanoscale dermal lattice, (b) cognitive-anchored field modulation (psychophysical causation), (c) memetic/performance feedback loop reinforcing invisibility state.

  • Ongoing experiments: Controlled laser interferometry mapping; proteinomic assays on recovered epidermal fragments; EM field topology mapping during induced motion. All experiments require Level-5 oversight; replication attempts strictly prohibited without Directorate sign-off.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
8) INCIDENT HISTORY — SELECTED CASES (REDACTED)

  • Case IMG-03-A [████/████/19██] — Urban housing complex. Subject evaded capture for 48 hours; neutralized after perimeter netting and aerosolized particle sweep revealed presence. Casualties: 3. Evidence: partial glove print, hair fragment (DNA + anomalous protein). Outcome: contained; subject transferred to Site-12B.

  • Case IMG-03-C [████/████/20██] — Coastal research vessel. Subject used recorded crew voice to lure technician below deck; multiple fatalities; subject not recovered (presumed aquatic transit). Follow-up: hull sensors recovered anomalous pressure events consistent with subject movement.

  • Case IMG-03-F [2024/09/07] — Domestic incident linked to vocal mimicry of family member; subject exploited grief to isolate victim(s); contained after deployment of LIDAR curtain. Leads to present SOP update on witness management.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
9) EVIDENCE HANDLING & FORENSICS

  • Scene Processing: Preserve non-optical traces — disturbed dust patterns, displaced fluids, pressure impressions. Immediate swabbing for trace proteins, fibers, and latent DNA. Use directional air filtration to prevent dispersal of aerosolized particulates.

  • Digital Evidence: Standard imaging insufficient. Record multi-modal streams (thermal + LIDAR + audio). Correlate timestamps across devices; ensure secure chain-of-custody.

  • Storage: Biological samples stored at −80°C; EM logs archived on isolated servers with cryptographic sealing.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
10) INTERROGATION & COMMUNICATION GUIDELINES (CONTROLLED)

  • Avoid prolonged direct sensory deprivation protocols; subject may weaponize confusion. Use structured, short bursts of questioning with behavioral reinforcement.

  • Personnel Rotation: Max 4 hours/session with no more than two sessions/day. Rotate clinicians to prevent rapport exploitation.

  • Linguistic Caution: Do not play personalized voice recordings without Medical Director authorization — mimicry may induce compliance or violence.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
11) TRAINING / FIELD RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OPERATIONS TEAMS

  • Mandatory for deployment teams: multi-sensor ops certification, memetic awareness course, non-visual restraint handling.

  • Checklists: Pre-entry sensor sweep, witness sequestration protocol, specialized PPE (motion-feedback harness), amnestic authorization chain.

  • Red-Team Exercises: Quarterly simulation of IMG-03 breach; review after-action within 7 days.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
12) POLICY & LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS (DIRECTORATE)

  • Replication Prohibition: Any attempt to synthetically reproduce optical negation properties is Level-7 prohibited.

  • Civil Liability: If civilian casualties occur during containment, invoke Plausible Cover Directive (PCD-4). Legal counsel to be notified immediately.

  • Memorialization: No public memorials; all case files redacted per Section ███.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
13) RECOMMENDED ACTION ITEMS (PRIORITY)

  1. Immediate: Update all field units with SOP IMG-03 v3.2 and distribute portable PLSU kits to regional hubs.

  2. Short Term: Fund enhanced LIDAR curtain procurement and deploy to high-risk urban sectors.

  3. Mid Term: Authorize controlled interferometry study under Research Division (Level-5 oversight).

  4. Long Term: Develop memetic containment protocols in collaboration with Narrative Analysis Unit to counter voice-mimic contagion.
