Secret

Secret is, understandably, the least understood friendly entity associated with the Office Space so far. Secret is apparently a sentient memetic construct that exists within James' mind. It is unknown how much Secret can manipulate James' mind, what effect it is having on his psyche, and what its motivations are at all - besides continued existence. Secret was originally genderless, but now identifies more and more as male, possibly as a result of exposure to James. 
== Origin ==
Secret is most like the result of Rufus' attempts to keep James and Anesh from speaking to others about the dungeon. After being implanted in James' mind, the thing that would later become Secret consumed a different memetic life form for food, while the version living in Anesh's head starved and died. James first became "aware" of Secret during a dream sequence in which Secret expressed a desire to remain in James' mind, and the two of them struck an uneasy truce that has since grown stronger. 
== Motivation ==
Secrets thought structure is hinted at being very alien to human understanding, but it is slowly gaining human-like aspects. Secret mentions in various dream conversations with James that it has recently gained traits such as "hope" and "happiness". Again, it is unknown whether Secret is taking these aspects from James, slowly dehumanizing him in the process, or simply learning them from him in some way. One thing that does motivate Secret that is clear, is simple survival. He reacts most strongly when James, and by association his home, is threatened directly.
Secret does feed on its namesake - secrets that James has kept to himself. It was described as feeding on the fact that James managed to absorb a blue Orb, and when James mentioned this to his friends, one of its food sources was taken away.
== Powers ==
Secret has so far shown the ability to somehow destroy other memetic constructs that come from Purple Orbs, perceive through James' senses while he is asleep or not paying attention, dream alongside James to communicate with him, help shape James comprehension of an Orb into something closer to that of a Monster's so James could absorb a Blue Orb, and - most theatrically - create a glowing avatar of itself to move from James mind to others and perform similar acts in there heads, such as removing the mental block that prevented Anesh and Alanna from noticing Sarah's room.
