**INCIDENT REPORT**

**RE: OFFSITE EMPLOYEE FATALITY**

SUMMARY:

An item resembling a fondue set was sent to America Overnight's (a.k.a. FBC Initiative #72-A) offsite studio accompanied by a threatening letter and cremated human remains. Long-time show producer Karen Harris was killed when she **[REDACTED]** her **[REDACTED]** into the item. Mr. **[REDACTED]**, the program's host, was able to contain the item by **[REDACTED]** it.

ACTION TAKEN:

The fondue set is undergoing evaluation at the FBC satellite facility in **[REDACTED]**.

The package was traced back to a PO Box belonging to the Blessed Pictures production company. The same company was involved in the discovery of AI80.

According to Post Office records, Blessed's PO Box was opened in 1968 and paid through December 2029. Employees cannot recall anyone ever collecting mail from the PO Box.

Case 13-HQ-612 has been reopened. Attempts to locate the address or staff of Blessed Pictures are ongoing.

ADDENDUM:

It should be noted that during debriefing, Mr. **[REDACTED]** revealed he was in a romantic relationship with Ms. Harris. He has since been placed on mandatory leave of absence for violating Bureau guidelines.

## Location

The file can be found in the Foundation. It is located at the Astral Tower PW Control Point, hidden amongst the red sand in a corner of the black marble walls.

**FIELD RESEARCH ON ASTRAL ENTITY: ASTRAL MIMIC**

**--CONFIDENTIAL--**

SUMMARY

Astral Mimics are physically indistinguishable from Astral Copies, but considerably more dangerous due to the fact that they possess parautilitarian abilities. The most notable ability witnessed is levitation.

It is unknown how this Astral entity gained its paranatural abilities. The relevant Objects of Power are currently bound to Director Faden, which indicates the Objects are not responsible. However, Objects of Power are intrinsically linked to the Board and the Astral Plane. A similar link between the Objects and the Mimics could also exist. Or perhaps the Board is able to dispense these abilities at their leisure, with no trial in the Astral Plane required?

The prevailing theory, however, is that the entities are simply replicating observed abilities performed by the Hiss, or even the Director herself, thanks to a prolonged exposure to our world caused by the Astral Bleed.

Refer to file **[REDACTED]** for full report.

## Location

The file is automatically obtained through the mission The Nail, after defeating a wave of Astral Mimics in the Astral Plane (specifically at the ledge just past the Astral Platform PE Control Point when completing the ritual in the Canyon Rim.)

Bright Falls AWE

The **Bright Falls AWE** was an Altered World Event which occurred in the town of Bright Falls, Washington between September 1 and September 14, 2010. It is believed to be connected to the Typewritten Page and Oh Deer Diner Coffee Thermos Altered Items.

## Event summary

The AWE was caused by a Threshold located beneath Cauldron Lake, a lake near the town of Bright Falls. As a result of this Threshold, an AWE occurred in which the writings of fiction novelist Alan Wake altered reality to match the reality of the story, though only locally and for a limited time. Kirklund, the Bureau's Head of Investigations, was contacted on September 13, 2010, by ex-Bureau agent Frank Breaker about the possible AWE. Breaker had been contacted by Wake's literary agent Barry Wheeler on behalf of Breaker's daughter Sarah, the sheriff of Bright Falls. According to the Bureau case file, similar AWE incidents had been investigated in Bright Falls in 1970, 1976, and 1978.

The Bureau arrived at Bright Falls on September 15 after the AWE had already concluded. Interviews were conducted with witnesses; similar interviews had occurred during the prior incidents, with Thomas Zane in 1970 and Odin and Tor Anderson in 1976 and 1978. Wake's wife Alice was given a psychological evaluation and directed to treatment for trauma and apparent memory loss. The Bureau concluded that she had been trapped in the Threshold during the AWE. Those still missing included FBI Special Agent Robert Nightingale and Dr. Emil Hartman, the latter being someone whom the Bureau had been monitoring. Clay Steward, the author of a book entitled *The Alan Wake Files*, was interviewed as a suspected parautilitarian, resulting in the Bureau placing him under indefinite surveillance.

Wake's whereabouts after the AWE were unknown to the Bureau; he reportedly dove into Cauldron Lake, though his body was not recovered. Bureau researchers believe the AWE to have been the result of a "forceful perception of subjective reality" stemming from Wake and overlapping on ordinary reality. Wake was flagged by the Bureau as a potential parautilitarian and Prime Candidate. Eyewitness reports highlighted an old light switch, possible an Object of Power, the whereabouts of which are unknown. A monitoring station was established at Cauldron Lake to alert the Bureau of any future activity.

**FEDERAL BUREAU OF CONTROL**

Hey Simon,

I got your message. Yeah, if someone in the sector is asking about Ahti, just tell him you'll handle it and leave it at that. Under no circumstances should any personnel intervene with his day-to-day routine. I told you everything I know about him so you could better deal with his odd habits, but yes it's still very much a classified matter.

Also, I saw your report about the Quarry worker who wandered into the Foundation. Detaining him was the right move. We'll figure out what he saw before we decide on next steps.

Cheers,

Lin

P.S. In case you hadn't noticed, something is up between Trench and Darling. I know this isn't your strong suit, but try your best to stay out of it.

ActionMaxx Camera

The **ActionMaxx Camera** is an Altered Item contained by the Federal Bureau of Control in the Oldest House.

## Containment Procedure

The item should be isolated from any person or event that is

objectively interesting since its effect is activated by the presence of dramatic incidents.

## Description/Parautility

A movie camera used to make commercial feature films. Internal mechanisms are unremarkable.

Subjects near the item will often experience a “torqued" version of reality resembling the heightened drama and action of a movie. Whether these events are localized alternate realities or products of hallucination is currently unknown.

Additionally, the item seems to record footage from these incidents and creates VHS copies, edited in the style of short films.

## Background

The item first came to the Bureau's attention after a hospitalized mailman from **[REDACTED]**, Arkansas claimed his injuries had been caused by a movie camera. Further investigation connected the incident to NBC, which was being shipped in the mail truck at the time. The packaged camera was later found in an empty warehouse. The return address led agents to a PO Box located in the San Fernando Valley belonging to a company called Blessed Pictures. Whether Blessed Pictures is involved in the creation and dissemination of the item's VHS films is unknown.

The following is a list of all known films believed to have been shot by AI80-UE.

- Shoot First, Die Last (unreleased)\*

- Coffee Bullet

- Billy's First Car

- Bike Hard

- Delivery Disaster

ltem was used in the filming of an unreleased western in 1968 on the Italian island of Sardinia. A cast member was killed during an on-set accident, stopping production. It is believed that Blessed Pictures bought the camera when equipment from the shoot was sold at auction.

During their investigation, agents learned that a podcast titled “Brian’s Movie Den" had reviewed the item-generated movie “Delivery Disaster". The podcast's creator, Brian Hennerman, was taken for questioning. The staff of Movie Knight, the store Mr. Hennerman rented the film from, were also questioned to no effect.

Cave Paintings

**Cave Paintings** is one of the Collectibles in *The Foundation* expansion of *Control*.

## File text

**ON ART AND TIME**

At first I thought the cave paintings in the Foundation chronicled ancient humans' encounters with natural occurrences like weather, but it soon became clear they depicted events far outside the average human experience.

Also, it seems I was wrong to assume the images are ancient. Radiocarbon dating suggests something impossible: that I've been down here longer than the paintings. That's absurd though. The style and medium clearly indicate a Paleolithic origin.

I was ready to conclude that an ancient community of humans lived in or around the Oldest House. Now, with this information, I don't know what to think. Is one of our agents drawing these? Or is there someone down here with us?

This place has a habit of skewing my results, so perhaps the data is corrupted. Or perhaps some paintings where created at different times. The art does seem to chronicle not only the past, but also the present and possibly even the future. I see in them echoes of the Board, some linear architecture, even what could be interpreted as a director.

Are the paintings telling a story that's still being written? If so, who is writing it?

## Location

The file can be found in the Foundation. It is located in the Cave System, on the ground next to a table in the area with the square rope grid used for the Maneki-neko Statue puzzle.

**Ocelot's Anchor (AI11-UE)**

BACKGROUND:

The crew of the White Ocelot first encountered a strange spherical phenomenon while fishing in the **[REDACTED]**. Witnesses described it as "a black sphere with faint light behind it." It hovered just off the bow of the ship. The crew **[REDACTED]** by throwing a tin bucket, which disappeared into the sphere.

Soon after, the vessel lost structural integrity. The ship's metal rusted and fell apart within minutes. As the ship sank, the sphere lowered into the water. A passing fishing vessel called the **[REDACTED]** rescued the four surviving crew.

Agents were dispatched to the White Ocelot's last known coordinates (**[REDACTED]**) and began diving operations. On the ocean floor, the agents found the sphere. The ship was entirely destroyed except for its anchor. As agents lifted the anchor off the ocean floor, they noticed the sphere behaved in conjunction with the anchor, moving and stopping as one.

Contact with the sphere was avoided, but handling the anchor proved harmless. The item was transported by the **[REDACTED]** to the US port of **[REDACTED]**. Upon arriving in New York, it was brought into the Bureau via the **[REDACTED]**.

[America Overnight theme]

RADIO HOST: You're listening to America Overnight, mystifying the airwaves for more than 29 years.

[pause]

RADIO HOST: Thank you for staying up with us. Ghosts. We've had many callers over the years tell us of hauntings, voices, and other phantasmagorical phenomena. Today, friend of the show Dr. Quincy Reagan tells his story. Quincy.

QUINCY REAGAN: Thanks. This is something I experienced recently, while staying at the Chilly Pines Motel in Macon for last year's SuspiciCon. I was in room 47. The night manager, an avid listener of the program, insisted I take this particular room. Now, the manager explained that, years back, the body of a man was discovered under the bed, inside that wooden border that motel beds tend to have. The body had been there a week, he said. Guests had stayed there, sleeping with the corpse a foot below them. They only found the body when housekeepers complained about the smell. Hauntings have been reported in room 47 ever since. I happily took the room. I fell asleep pretty quick, checking under the bed first of course. No ghosts visited me. No chilly spots or flickering lights. But when I woke up, I found myself under the bed. It was dark and stiflingly hot. Luckily I was able to push the mattress off and crawl out before I suffocated. The Night Manager was kind enough to find me another room.

RADIO HOST: There you have it, listeners. What we call ghosts take many forms. Quincy was brave enough to tell his story. And I encourage you to keep calling and writing whenever you encounter something strange. Something you can't explain. Maybe you're seeing colors that we have no name for. Maybe your toaster is possessed. Remember, dear listeners, when no one else believes you, we do. America Overnight will be right back.

Doug

**Doug** was an employee of the Federal Bureau of Control.

## Background

Nicolay worked in the Processes and Protocols offices of the Containment Sector, and fell victim to the Building Shift which transported the entire department into the Foundation. After Nicolay, John, and Sarah disappeared while looking for a radio, presumed killed by Astral Spikes by Jeanne Gibbs, Doug told her that Astral Spikes were only found in the Astral Plane.

Doug eventually died either as a result of Astral Spike attacks or the Hiss invasion, as there is no one left alive in the Foundation when Jesse Faden arrives.
Albany Shipping Warehouse

This is an abandoned warehouse that is located in Albany.

## History

The warehouse contained boxes of undelivered merchandise and it also contained the Hand Chair Altered item. The FBC discovered the Item when strange noises and numerous bodies were discovered near the Warehouse, this led local message boards to think this was a werewolf due to this occurring in the last three moons. A squad of ranger trainees accompanied by a field agent broke into the warehouse and as they discovered the various merchandise, wooden crates started accelerating towards the Hand Chair knocking out the field agent and two trainees. The others escaped the warehouse before it collapsed entirely.

Devouring the Devoted (song)

**"Devouring the Devoted"** is a song featured in *Control*, performed by Barry Uhl.

## Lyrics

She came from across the sea, like a bolt of lightning

Get up top of the mountain
Hands above the trees

She lit the blinded eye, burned into my retinas

Get up top of the mountain
Hands above the trees

I'll always know what's in your eyes, unchanged by what they see
If only I could fall inside, the world you offer me

She whistled through the breeze, devouring the devoted

Get up top of the mountain
Hands above the trees

I'll always know what's in your eyes, unchanged by what they see
If only I could fall inside, the world you offer me

## Notes

The song can be heard in two locations:

1. On a radio located on the second floor of Central Executive, near the exit to Executive Affairs.
2. On a radio in Dr. Darling's secret lab in the Black Rock Quarry.

Abraham Lewis

**Dr. Abraham "Abe" Lewis** was the chief of the Parakinesiology Department for the Federal Bureau of Control.

## Biography

### Background

Dr. Lewis fought with Dr. Harrington, the head of the Parapsychology Department, over which of their departments would receive more funding from the research budget. Seeking to gain an edge, Lewis attempted to suck up to Dr. Darling, badmouthing his rival's department and offering a bottle of single malt with his funding request. This did not work out. Jealous, he threatened to inform the bureau operations oversight committee about Dr. Underhill's large budget, believing that Underhill was falsifying her research and Darling was accepting her requests simply due to their relationship. Nevertheless, Lewis was still on Dr. Darling's list of potential staff for assignment to the new Dimensional Research department.

Lewis was also concerned with the houseplants found around the Research Sector, and feared that the Bureau was being invaded by plants due to no employees being able to recall their arrival. He also questioned the necessity of singing to the plants, though he complimented the voice of the janitor who did so.

Dr. Lewis did not survive the Hiss invasion, being corrupted by the Hiss and becoming a Hiss Warped.

### Events of *Control*

When Jesse Faden travels through the Research Sector to secure Dr. Darling's HRA Lab, Parakinesiology Chief Lewis blocks her way in the Ritual Division, and must be defeated in order to claim the Ritual Division Control Point.

Carla Vaughn

Dr. Vaughn in Spare Footage

Doctor **Carla Vaughn** was a Research Specialist for the Federal Bureau of Control.

## Biography

Carla Vaughn and Hubert Tan, as research staff, were often co-opted by Head of Research Casper Darling to serve as his assistants, also commonly appearing in his presentation videos. She conducted various research tasks under his order - some in collaboration with Dr. Tan - including documentation for the Victorian Mirror Altered Item and an analysis of Thresholds. Both Vaughn and Tan were considered for staffing the Dimensional Research department, and Vaughn was also involved in the Prime Candidate Program, conducting face-to-face interviews and evaluations with Dylan Faden.

Hubert Tan was romantically interested in her and attempted to ask her out to dinner, which Vaughn either did not notice or simply did not reciprocate. Vaughn's personality was cold and impersonal, but professional. She seemed to regard Dr. Darling's quirks as odd, but was still willing to help him out as much as possible.

Anderson Farm

**Anderson Farm** is a farm owned by Odin and Tor Anderson, the farm is located in Bright Falls. In 1976 the Anderson Brothers where rehearsing in a field outside the farm, on that day the dark presences rose from Cauldron Lake as an army and attacked the Anderson Farm. When Sheriff Breaker arrived at the farm he found the Anderson Brothers alive but in need of medical aid. Tor Anderson had been struck by lightning and Odin Anderson had cut out his own right eye which is a possible reference to Norse deities Thor and Odin. The Farm was later visited by Alan Wake and Barry Wheeler in 2010 who find the message the Andersons left behind in a recording of "The Poet and The Muse". They also get ambushed at the stage and must use the supplies there along with the stage lights and pyrotechnics in order to fend off the dark presence to the tune of "Children of the Elder God".

Hiss Elevated

In-Game Image of the Hiss Elevated

**Hiss Elevated Agents**, also referred to as **Drifters**, are a type of Hiss-corrupted personnel and are one of the enemy types in *Control*.

## Overview

Hiss Elevated Agents are Bureau personnel who have been corrupted by the Hiss and display various paranatural telekinetic abilities after their corruption.

## Research summary

*Main article: Hiss Elevated (Collectible)*

How are they able to use paranatural abilities? It is possible that these individuals were bound to Objects of Power prior to corruption, It's also worth considering that the Hiss resonance can identify and express latent paranatural ability in the individuals it corrupts.

## Notes

* Despite what the research file says, it is possible to hit Hiss Elevated with Launch attacks. Their ability to dodge such attacks seems to have a "cool-down" effect, such that a telekinetic attack launched immediately after a dodge is much more likely to hit.

**Albany (AWE-29)**

EVENT SUMMARY:

A response team was dispatched to a possible AWE in progress at **[REDACTED]**, Albany. At the scene, the team encountered and retrieved AI63.

EVENT RESPONSE:

The Bureau had discovered numerous online message boards regarding loud noises coming from an abandoned shipping warehouse belonging to the **[REDACTED]** Corporation. Local law enforcement had discovered numerous bodies in various states of mutilation in the vicinity. This, along with the noises, were considered to be evidence of a “werewolf” due to the fact that they only occurred on the last three full moons.

Field Agent **[REDACTED]** accompanied a squad of ranger trainees to the site as a form of field training. The likelihood of a genuine AWE was considered low. Despite this evaluation, the team encountered a highly-volatile Altered Item, which they successfully retrieved.

Butte AWE

The **Butte AWE** was an Altered World Event which occurred in the town of Butte, Montana on September 23, 1992. It resulted in the discovery of the Light Switch Cord and the Oceanview Motel.

## Events

Agents of the Federal Bureau of Control arrived at the home of a local celebrity in the town of Butte, Montana on September 23, 1992, after a series of disappearances were reported in the area. The agents discovered a light switch cord which caused one agent to disappear; a second agent testing the cord also vanished. Both agents were discovered days later in the Oldest House, in a sealed room discovered by Rangers in a newly explored region of the House. The cord disappeared from the Butte household during this time and reappeared in the Oldest House in various locations.

The agents reported that they had been transported from Butte to a roadside motel, dubbed the Oceanview Motel and Casino, with various locked doors. The agents discovered a ritual which enabled them to enter a room with an inverted black pyramid on the door, transporting them back to the Oldest House. The Bureau used the cords in the Oldest House to conduct further research of the Motel, identifying it as a Place of Power.

Director Trench,

As head chef, I need to express my concern about rumors I've been hearing regarding mold appearing near some of my kitchens. I am alerting you that any food handled, prepared, or consumed in the vicinity of mold can be contaminated and unsafe for ingestion.

If I can verify these reports, then I will need to close multiple cafeterias. I realize this would be an inconvenience to many, but as a caterer, I pride myself in keeping a pristine environment for food preparation and service.

Sincerely,

J. Pullman, Head Chef of The Golden Chow Catering Company

Collective Unconscious

## Collectible Unconscious

**Collective Unconscious** is one of the Collectibles in *Control*.

**EXAMINATION OF PARANATURAL TOPICS**

**COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS**

SUMMARY:

Collective unconscious is defined as a form of the unconscious that is shared in all human minds. From this arises unconscious knowledge linking us through our ancestral heritage (see Jung report, pg. 12–34). Through this collective unconscious, we unknowingly attribute a series of images and archetypes to all elements of our lives. These archetypes are never fixed, but shift and change in tandem with our species and culture.

This internal belief in the power of images, shared by a massive population, is **[REDACTED]** in the creation of Altered Items and Objects of Power. The sheer amount of **[REDACTED]** exuded is attracted to the best representation of that image, imbuing a single object with massive amounts of **[REDACTED]**.

Theoretically, Places of Power could likewise be formed by the simple power of sustained, collective belief.

Refer to file 5-41-7532 for full report.

## Location

The file can be found in the Executive Sector. It is located in Central Executive, on a desk in the second floor room to the left of the hallway to the Director's Office.

Book Club Notes for Penny

By L. Samson

So I don't usually read a lot of sci-fi, but as far as space operas go, this was all right. The title "Unless You" could refer to a bunch of things in the book, I guess, but I thought it was a little vague and stupid. The way the characters kept throwing it around almost like a catchphrase got real annoying real fast.

The best part of the story was the space battles. I sided with the Fixers, obviously, because they had the coolest tech and their motives made the most sense to me. Honestly, if I had to choose between some hoity-toity flowers-in-guns space hippies or a bad- ass bunch of warriors who go around devouring planets like cheap sushi on a Sunday, I know who I'm picking. That scene where they invade city-planet and convert the entire population using those brain worms? And that space dog fight between those two ace pilots? Sign me the fuck up.

What kind of ruined the whole thing for me was when my favorite character got killed not even halfway through the story by getting a battery cylinder launched into his face by a gravitational anomaly. His death didn't feel necessary at all.

## Transcript

[America Overnight theme]

RADIO HOST: You're listening to America Overnight, now in its 29th year… Or is it?

[Pause]

RADIO HOST: It is, don't worry. Tonight we're discussing thrift store oddities and one-of-a-kind finds. Peggy's on the line from Biloxi. She and her husband found a beautiful Himalayan salt lamp at a garage sale. Tell us about it, Peggy.

PEGGY FROM BILOXI: I'd heard of salt lamps, y'know, those glowy rocks you plug in? They're supposed to release negative ions. Clear the air. I got one – only four bucks – and I put it in our living room. I thought it would look nice there. It gives the whole room this lovely orange glow.

RADIO HOST: Now, this is usually when the call takes a turn…

PEGGY FROM BILOXI: It's… my husband. When he's in the living room, he won't take his eyes off the lamp. He's obsessed with it. If I turn it off, he gets so upset. He says it needs to stay on, no matter what. Last night, I woke up at 3 am. He wasn't in bed. I found him in the living room, staring at the lamp. He was smiling. His eyes were open, but I thought he might be sleep walking. So I shook him. He just kept smiling at the light. Then he started to speak. He said: "Every time a reflection reflects itself it gets a little greener."

RADIO HOST: I've read that.

PEGGY FROM BILOXI: Then he turned to me. He was still smiling. Eyes open. My husband's eyes are brown. Almost black. But the eyes of the man in the living room last night… his eyes were green.

[Low voice, off-microphone]

RADIO HOST: Sounds just like Decatur. Get everything you can out of her, then call HQ.

[Full voice, to Peggy]

RADIO HOST: Peggy I'm so sorry to cut you off there, but we need to go to commercial. I'd like you to stay on the line, though. My producer Karen needs a little more information, okay?

PEGGY FROM BILOXI: Uh, okay.

RADIO HOST: America Overnight will be right back.

[America Overnight theme]

## Location

Head to the room on the 3rd floor directly below this doorway and the recording will be in a corner to your right.

## Note

This recording is the alternate perspective of the situation described in "Green," one of the Dead Letters. In the letter, Peggy's husband attempts to record his experience from an incorporeal space, where he's able to see through the eyes of his own body as it's controlled by a foreign entity.

Bright Falls (1976) Supplement

**Bright Falls (1976) Supplement** is one of the Collectibles in the *AWE* expansion of *Control*.

## File text

**Bright Falls (AWE-10)**

DETAILS:

On the day of the flooding, the rock band Old Gods of Asgard was rehearsing in a field outside the Anderson Farm, the homestead of band members Odin and Tor Anderson. Both admitted to being in a heavy state of inebriation at the time, having spent "days" drinking their home-brewed moonshine while celebrating Deerfest.

After the townspeople were evacuated from the flooded field, Sheriff Breaker was asked by Freya Anderson, daughter of Tor Anderson, to check on her father and uncle. Breaker drove to the Anderson Farm and found the band members alive but in need of medical aid. Tor Anderson had been struck by lightning and Odin Anderson had cut out his own right eye (a possible ref. to Norse deities **[REDACTED]** and **[REDACTED]**?) They claimed the had fought and "valiantly defeated" a "dark army of the scratching hag" rising from Cauldron Lake (see AWE **[REDACTED]** of 1970, related to the suspected **[REDACTED]** at Diver's Isle).

While impossible to verify, these events are relevant to the recurring AWE at Bright Falls and the Cauldron Lake **[REDACTED]**. Odin and Tor Anderson have been listed as persons of interest.

## Location

The file can be found in the Investigations Sector. It is in the southern part of the Bright Falls AWE hangar, on the ground near Shaded Hartman's destroyed containment cell.

## Transcript

[FBC jingle, presentation intro]

DARLING: There areas[sic] in the Oldest House, where under the right conditions, when the frequencies match, other dimensions leak in. We call these areas Thresholds. The Quarry is one of the more stable Thresholds in the Maintenance Sector. That's where Black Rock comes from. Extra-dimensional matter. It has the unique property of blocking out a lot of frequencies, a good thing - it keeps things stable, contained.

Think of it as paranatural lead. Our research involves many dangeorus things we absolutely need to keep in check. That's what the Black Rock lined Firebreaks are about. The Panopticon container cells...

[sound of a door opening offscreen]

POPE: Sorry to interrupt, sir, but I need the code for the Quarry elevator.

DARLING: Oh, Emily! The codes. Black Rock. 6-6-5. Neighbor of the beast. Get it?

[sound of a door closing offscreen]

POPE: Ha ha.

DARLING (not subtitled:) We can do that again if you...

[FBC jingle, presentation outro]

## Location

Bremen Basket

The **Bremen Basket** is an Altered Item that was found by the FBC on April 23, 2002.

## Summary

A simple wicker basket with cloth lining. No food items inside. The item produces a hypnotic effect that solely affects non-human animals, forcing them to congregate passively around the object. Animals from every genus and species that have thus far been tested are susceptible. Single-cell organisms do not appear to react to the effect.

The item came to the Bureau's attention through several news reports in which a family was harassed by animals during a picnic in a National Park. The family fled the scene with the basket. Witnesses report seeing the family being chased by a variety of species of animal. The family eventually abandoned the basket, at which point the animals remained with it for unknown length of time. Agents acquired the item from the park's Lost and Found offices.

## Containment Procedure

The following procedures for containment for the item in the Oldest House:

* Item to be stored in a Black Rock paneled cell. Keep away from lab animals when not in use.

**INTERVIEW #65-F-124**

**SUBJECT: ALICE WAKE**

BACKGROUND:

After reaching out to the Bureau, Alice Wake was brought into the Oldest House for an interview on **[REDACTED]**, 2017. See file **[REDACTED]** for the full transcript.

SUMMARY:

The interview conducted by Agents Shah and Dempsey revealed that Mrs. Wake has had recurring nightly "visitations" from her missing ex-husband in her New York apartment (address: **[REDACTED]**.) Mr. Wake "appears out of nowhere and rushes at [her] down the corridor." According to her impression, he appears "crazy and horrifying", clearly coming at her "with violent intent". Mrs. Wake believes that he is "haunting" her, insisting he is "not Alan, but a fucking monster in his body".

Mrs. Wake has not been sleeping out of the fear of these visits. Her attempts to keep the lights on through the night result in the relevant hallway's lightbulb breaking every night (possible indicating involvement of the **[REDACTED]**).

Further investigation required. We propose installing monitoring equipment in the apartment. Copies of supply request form L-501-4 have been sent to Mr. Kirklund and administration for approval.

## Location

The file can be found in the Investigations Sector. It is located in the Bright Falls AWE area, on the floor of the control room.
