Identity
Legal Name: Adrian Clarke
Sex: Male
Age: [DATA EXPUNGED]
Background: Former academic researcher with formal training in engineering, applied physics, and theoretical mathematics. Withdrew under disciplinary review from graduate program after unauthorized lab modifications and suspected equipment theft. Subsequent employment history is fragmentary and inconsistent; multiple unverified gaps coincide with estimated construction phases of temporal apparatus TM-01.
Designation Rationale: Identified as the sole constructor, operator, and conceptual architect of anomalous temporal displacement apparatus (TM-01 / “the Machine”). Subject represents both initiator and carrier vector of chronotemporal contamination events documented in Case File TM-01.
Behavioral Profile
Cognition:
Demonstrates acute hyperfocus on technical projects; extended capacity for improvisational engineering beyond civilian norms.
Displays dissociation: subject’s personal notes and recovered audio show disrupted temporal sequencing, as though unable to distinguish present from prior activations.
Frequent conflation of empirical observation with narrative speculation; tendency to record impressions as though they were historical facts.
Disposition:
Physical threat minimal; subject compliant under controlled sedation and standard containment protocols.
Resistant to debrief efforts; maintains fixation on “unfinished search.” Refuses to acknowledge that device is irreparably compromised.
Displays subtle manipulative tendencies: attempts to redirect interviewer dialogue toward device reactivation scenarios.
Psychological Notes:
Central fixation on “Weena,” referenced across nearly all found audio. Emotional tone fluctuates between reverent affection, desperate longing, and grief-stricken rage.
Uses “Weena” as justification for repeated activation of device, often in contradiction to self-preservation or environmental safety.
Possible early indicators of narrative contamination: some personnel report intrusive auditory imagery (unfamiliar female voice humming) after exposure to subject’s tapes.
Anomalous Associations
Primary: TM-01 “the Machine” — Subject’s sole construction, direct operator. Device now secured but continues to emit residual echo phenomena when in close proximity to subject.
Secondary: Cassette logs and audio artifacts. Several contain embedded activation signatures, suggesting deliberate or unconscious coupling of subject’s voice with machine’s operational harmonics.
Analyst Observations
Entity “Weena”:
Subject describes Weena as a young woman encountered during earliest displacement cycle. Characterized as compassionate, vulnerable, and dependent on subject for protection.
No evidence of Weena existing in baseline chronology: no census entries, immigration records, or biological traces match the profile. Forensic sweeps of subject’s known residences yielded no secondary physical evidence (no hair samples, textiles, or handwriting attributable to Weena).
Interpretation A (Psychogenic Construct): Weena represents a mnemonic phantom or hallucinated companion—an echo produced by memory bleed during device operation.
Interpretation B (Temporal Displacement Entity): Weena may be a genuine inhabitant of alternate or displaced timeline, drawn into subject’s perception during machine’s unstable activation windows. Data inconclusive.
Containment Implication: Regardless of ontological truth, Weena functions as obsessive anchor motif. Continued belief in her existence creates elevated risk of subject attempting unauthorized reconstruction or influence operations to regain device access.
Threat Assessment
Direct: LOW — subject physically non-aggressive, no combat training noted.
Indirect: HIGH — persistent obsession may compel attempts at reconstruction, recruitment of outside expertise, or manipulation of personnel.
Memetic: MODERATE — subject’s descriptions of Weena exert suggestive resonance. Multiple personnel exposed to extended playback reported recurring dreams, disorientation, and vague emotional loss unmoored from personal context.
Current Status
Secured under controlled custody at Facility ███, Chronotemporal Observation Wing.
Monitoring includes continuous cognitive drift assessments, EEG/memory mapping, and narrative contamination screening.
Research Division authorized strictly limited debrief sessions under triple-auditor protocol.
All audio logs isolated in Memetic Lockbox. Direct playback prohibited; only spectrographic conversions authorized.
Recommendations
Continuous observation with psychological containment protocols; prohibit unsupervised access to electronic or mechanical components.
Quarantine of personal logs: redact references to “Weena” prior to analyst circulation to prevent secondary narrative anchoring.
Cross-reference motif “Weena” across anomalous case files to identify recurrence patterns.
Consider narrative quarantine classification should fixation spread beyond subject, particularly if external personnel report intrusive phenomena.
Restrict research access: no replication of vocal activation sequences without Directorate waiver.
Evaluate relocation protocols: if Facility ███ echo activity escalates, recommend dispersal transfer to deep-storage site.
Selected Transcript Excerpts (Recovered Audio, Cassette #07)
[T+92:14] — “She was there, waiting by the riverbank. Her hand was small in mine, warm, so warm. The fire took her, but I can find her again.”
[T+103:02] — “Weena, say my name again. The Machine knows you, it knows us. I’ll return, even if it tears me apart.”
[T+117:46] — [voice breaks, extended static] “No record of her? Then your records are wrong. She lived. She lives.”

Executive Note (Summary)
Subject Adrian Clarke is the sole identified constructor and operator of TM-01 (codename: “the Machine”). Following an extended series of activations, the device was recovered in a degraded and partially dismantled state at Site Ω (urban prototype lab). Subject Adrian Clarke is currently unaccounted for — last confirmed presence on recovered camcorder footage dated [REDACTED]. Recovered material includes multiple cassette logs, hand-writ notes, and physical components; several critical core elements are missing from the device at time of recovery. Subject’s audio exhibits persistent fixation on an individual designated by the subject as “Weena.” No corroborating records for Weena exist in baseline chronology. This dossier expands POI record, documents chain of custody, reconciles temporal activation logs with Weena references, and provides containment and investigative directives.
1. Identity & Background (Expanded)
Legal Name: Adrian Clarke
Alternate / Known Aliases: (none verified)
Sex: Male
Age: [DATA EXPUNGED]
Education: Former graduate candidate — engineering/applied physics (disciplinary withdrawal; records sealed).
Employment History: Patchwork of short-term contractor work, odd jobs. Gaps in employment history align with clandestine procurement receipts and estimated TM-01 fabrication windows.
Known Associates: Two peripheral contacts (contractor suppliers) placed under preliminary interview status. No verified institutional sponsorship discovered.
2. Incident Overview — Loss & Recovery
A. Last Known Movements (chronological, condensed)
T-(approx): Multiple activations of TM-01 documented via cassette logs and camcorder footage. Subject records self-directed activation sequences and references to “Weena.”
T-(last recorded): Final recovered footage shows subject preparing device for operation; subsequent footage is damaged by static and non-standard visual artifacts. No footage of subject leaving site.
Discovery: Local law enforcement responded to disturbance call; D.A.P. field team arrived and secured TM-01. Site forensics indicate device had been partially dismantled — multiple core components (see §3 Evidence Inventory) absent. No subject located on site.
Post-Recovery: Subject listed as missing, status promulgated across Directorate and cooperating agencies. Limited interviews indicate subject may have left voluntarily, been displaced by device effect, or removed by unknown third party. Investigation ongoing.
B. Site Condition at Recovery
Evidence of localized chrono-anomalous residue (frost/char patterning, displaced sediment).
Primary device frame intact; central nexus shows lattice displacement and microfracturing. Several panels forcibly opened; one casing bearing hand prints (DNA sample collected).
Multiple cassette tapes and camcorder media recovered; several tapes show anomalous audio modulation consistent with activation signatures. Several tapes partially degraded (magnetic flux corruption).
3. Evidence Inventory (Chain of Custody maintained)
Recovered Items (catalogued):
TM-01 — Primary frame (serial ref: CV-TM-01) — Status: Non-operational; core components missing. Custody: Chrono Vault B (CVB-TM-01).
Cassette Set — #01–#12 — (Operator logs) — Status: Memetic containment sleeves; spectrographic conversion in progress. Custody: Memetic Lockbox.
Camcorder — HWD model (recording: partial) — Status: Forensic image extraction pending; contains last visual of subject. Custody: Forensic Imaging Unit.
Handwritten Notebook — “Field Notes” — pages redacted for memetic content. Custody: Investigative Records.
Toolbag — with unique soldering fixtures and micro-etching tools — DNA match initiated. Custody: Evidence Locker.
Missing Components (reported): temporal spindle core (subassembly C), mirror array segment (seg-3), braided conduit bundle (alpha). Status: absent at recovery; active search ongoing.
Misc: fabric swatch (unattributed), cigarette butt (DNA sample), laminated schematic (partial).
Chain of Custody: All recovered items logged and cross-checked against CVB-TM-01 transfer manifest. Access restricted to Level-5+ personnel. Any requests for media playback must route through Memetics Division.
4. Cross-Reference Addendum — Weena Mentions vs Activation Log (TM-01 Operational Correlation)
(Condensed correlation table compiled from spectrograph timestamps, camcorder metadata, and inductive log alignment. Times normalized to recovered device UTC offset. Where precise absolute time is unavailable, relative activation cycles are used.)

Analyst Summary: Each explicit reference to “Weena” correlates with measurable increases in local resonance signatures on the device’s spectrographic record. Peak entropic events cluster around entries A-05 through A-09, culminating in a cascade at A-12 that corresponds with the site disturbance and subsequent device degradation. These correlations suggest subject’s vocalizations — whether intentional activation commands or mnemonic invocations — either function as partial activation vectors or coincide tightly with unstable activation windows.
5. Transcript Excerpts & Forensic Notes (Redacted / Sanitized)
Cassette #04 — Excerpt (sanitized):
[00:01:03] Adrian (softly): “Weena—do you remember the willow? Your shoes full of mud. You laughed when I called you ‘brave’.”
[00:01:19] [tape hiss] “They don’t record you. The books are wrong.”
[00:02:47] [low harmonic pulse] “If I go, it will be because I kept my promise.”
Camcorder — Final Visual (forensic summary):
Subject seen operating analogue wheel and aligning mirror array. Peripheral audio shows harmonic at 8–12 kHz. Visual artifact: localized shimmer above the device surface; subsequent frames replaced by static and nonstandard luminance spikes. No footage of subject exiting site recorded.
Forensic Interpretation: The content of subject’s speech repeatedly references a shared history with Weena. Forensic sweeps have failed to locate physical traces attributable to Weena within subject’s immediate environment. The co-occurrence of Weena invocations and activation harmonic peaks warrants classification of these utterances as either part of the activation protocol (deliberate) or associative cognitive markers that coincide with automatic activation.
6. Investigative Findings & Hypotheses
Recidivist Risk Hypothesis: Subject’s fixation on Weena constitutes a persistent motivational vector likely to drive attempts at reconstruction or retrieval. Missing components may indicate premeditated removal by subject or by a third party seeking to prevent immediate reactivation.
Displacement Hypothesis: Subject may be missing as a result of an anomalous displacement event (successful/failed activation) — absence of human remains and presence of device degradation consistent with catalytic entropic cascade supports this possibility.
External Intervention Hypothesis: Third-party removal of subject and/or device subcomponents cannot be discounted. Investigation into local black-market salvagers and known anomalous-artifact procurement networks recommended.
Memetic Seed Hypothesis: Repeated vocal references to Weena may function as memetic seeds; exposure has produced secondary effects in at least three field operatives (sleep disturbances, intrusive imagery). Further spread must be contained.
7. Current Operational Directives (Immediate)
Subject Status: Task Force Missing Persons & Containment Liaison to prioritize coordinated search for Adrian Clarke; distribute BOLO (Be On Lookout) listing to cooperating agencies with redacted coordinates. No public release.
Device Security: Maintain TM-01 in Chrono Vault B. Audit transfer logs for missing components. Implement 24/7 remote monitoring for resonance spikes. Prohibit any activation or powering attempts.
Media Handling: Continue spectrographic analysis; prohibit raw audio playback. Any transcripts must be redacted for memetic phrases (“Weena,” melody fragments).
Personnel Safety: Rotate assigned staff; memetic inoculation and cognitive aftercare mandatory for anyone exposed to raw logs. Suspend non-essential access until Director’s waiver obtained.
Intelligence Sweep: Open discreet inquiry into salvage networks and possible purchasers of specialized components (temporal spindle core, mirror array segment). Cross-reference with recent anomalous procurement notices.
Cross-Division Notification: Notify Narrative Analysis Unit, Occult Phenomena, and Regional Containment of potential cross-domain resonance. Request additional archival search for “Weena” motif appearances.
8. Long-Term Recommendations
Consider classification escalation (narrative quarantine) if memetic vectors show propagation beyond containment personnel.
If subject remains missing beyond N days (N specified by Directorate), consider conditional use of non-operational simulation (mathematical reconstruction) to infer probable coordinates for rescue — only with Level-7 authorization and full risk assessment.
If missing components are recovered, require secure, controlled modeling of actuation signatures within theoretical simulation only (no physical reassembly).
Preserve all artifacts in geographically dispersed custody to reduce single-point failure risk.
