## I. Who?

   Can you really, truly define Mutant-S001 as a "who"? For it is not just a matter of "who"; what's more significant is how many "who"s it has slaughtered. And, for the moment, that number seems to be climbing upwards. About 7,143 cases of death have been reported solely based on this mutant. And, for good reason; it is incredibly fast, stealthy, and lethal.
## II. What?

So, "what" is this Mutant? Let's explain. Mutant S-001, otherwise known as "La Brume" (which reads "The Mist" in French) is an extremely dangerous seasonal mutant that is designated to appear during the Fall season. S-001 appears to be a very thickly-layered black mist, with a typical pumpkin face glowing out of it. The pumpkin face glows in a bright orange-yellow, has two eyes, a single nostril, and a wide mouth with jagged teeth. It is unknown if there is an actual pumpkin inside, or if it is merely just a glowing face; it is extremely hard to tell because of how concentrated & dense the mist is.

## III. When?

So... when shall this mutant arrive? Well, there are multiple ways to identify if S-001 is nearby. For starters, S-001 seems to have an effect on all light (besides natural light) nearby it. If any lights such as fluorescent lights or street lights are flickering more than usual in your area, it is safe to say that La Brume is nearby. In addition, S-001 always attacks in the dark. This, along with S-002, proves that going outside at night is *extremely dangerous, and should never be attempted; especially in Fall.*

## IV. Where?

Usually, S-001 hides almost everywhere. Sometimes, it will even set up multiple spots to camp out and try to see if any of its victims are approaching. S-001 can make use of all these camp spots by using its unnatural speed; which is how it captures its prey. However, S-001 is most prominent in dark spots, as these places are the ones with least lights, and thus, the ones with least chance of giving someone a sign of him attacking.

## V. Why?

S-001's intentions are unclear; however, the conclusion that most have come to is that it is killing people out of pure malice. Another common theory is that it's pulling more people into its mist, and is thus growing bigger, stronger, and faster because of it gaining more and more "fuel". We fear that S-001 will become an extreme threat later on in the near future; however, using firearms or trying to contain it has proven ineffective, as it is a *gas*.

## VI. How?

S-001's attack method is quite peculiar. If it spots any prey, it will rush towards it head on. Since it's incredibly fast (as covered in section IV), it can outrun its prey by several mph. Once it's caught up to its prey, it'll open its mouth wide, and run straight into them, seemingly absorbing them into its mist. It is unknown what happens to the victim, but it is presumed they become one with the hive mind of La Brume.

## VII. Surviving S-001

S-001 might sound very frightening as of reading this, but fear not; with the right precautions and knowledge, you'll be avoiding S-001 in no time flat.

* **Pay attention to the lights.** If the lights flicker a significant amount, S-001 is probably nearby.
* **Bring a light with you at all times at night.** This way, even if you go into dark areas, you'll be able to sense if S-001 is near.
* **Hide.** If you think he's coming for you, find a hiding spot. S-001 *never* goes back for seconds.
* **Listen.** This song can be heard when S-001 is nearby.
* **Don't go outside at night.** If you're alone at night, you're risking your life by being exposed to S-001.
