OVERLORD ENTRY CLASSIFIED INCIDENT DOSSIER: ENTITY DESIGNATION “PHASE-SIXER”

Site: Orbital Penal Colony Garrus-9 (Derelict / Quarantined) Threat Classification: Cataclysmic Revenant / Class-VI Poltergeist Primary Alias: Overlord Investigative Protocols: High-Yield EMF, Parabolic Audio, Ultraviolet Luminescence, Heavy Spirit-Box Array

SECTION I: THE GHOST HUNTING JOURNAL ENTRY

Entity Name: Overlord

(Also known in life as: The Ambassador of Slaughter, The Breaker of Garrus-9)

"A soul so profoundly poisoned by vanity, bloodsport, and megalomania that even the complete destruction of its physical spark refused to yield to the Well of Allsparks. Overlord does not haunt out of sorrow or unresolved duty. He haunts because he cannot endure an universe where he is not the center of someone's terror."

Observed Evidences:

1. EMF Level 5: The lingering radioactive decay of his corrupted, ununtrium-reinforced spark-core causes extreme electromagnetic spikes. Needles do not merely flutter; they snap against their casings.
2. Freezing Temperatures: When Overlord manifests, the ambient temperature drops instantaneously to cryogenic thresholds. The air condenses into crystalline shards of frozen oil and atmospheric nitrogen, frost coating the inside of investigators’ faceplates.
3. Ghost Orbs / Smelt-Embers: Microscopic spheres of incandescent energon-gas drift perpetually through his favored rooms. Seen only via night-vision lenses, they resemble dying sparks floating upward from a smelter.
4. Ultraviolet (Unique Print): Handprints left on blast doors or bulkheads reveal enormous, five-fingered claw marks that glow an unmistakable, sickening magenta under UV light. Often found accompanied by the imprint of a wide, stylized crescent—the outline of his infamous smirk.

Entity Strengths:

• Sadistic Stalking (The Audience Mechanic): Overlord feeds directly on the sanity of his targets. The longer an investigator maintains direct line-of-sight with him during a manifestation, the faster their mental cohesion collapses. He does not kill quickly; he prefers to paralyze victims with debilitating dread, forcing them to watch him approach.
• The Split Manifestation: In life, Overlord was a Duocon, his chassis dividing into a mega-tank and a supersonic jet. In death, this manifests as dual auditory hallucinations. Investigators will hear the earth-shattering roar of an atmospheric scramjet screaming through narrow corridors from above, simultaneous with the deep, floor-shaking grind of heavy tank treads beneath the floorplates.
• Impervious to Normal Cleansing: Incense and sage smudge sticks do not blind him; they irritate him. Burning smudge sticks merely reduces his speed for a handful of seconds before triggering an instantaneous enraged hunt.

Entity Weaknesses:

• The Megatron Complex: Overlord’s fixation on his former master is his fatal vulnerability. Playing recovered audio logs of Megatron’s voice through a directional parabolic microphone or broadcasting Decepticon imperial decrees will disrupt his hunt, causing him to violently materialize in place to screech interrogations into the empty air, halting his pursuit of investigators.
• The Cruciform Seal: He is intensely repulsed by the symbol of the Autobot Elite Guard and the sacred Aequitas justice matrix. Presenting an illuminated Cruciform crest will act as an emergency ward, momentarily repelling him back into the spectral plane.

SECTION II: APPARITIONAL HISTORY & ORIGIN

To understand the ghost that stalks the tomb-halls of Garrus-9, one must understand the anatomy of his demise.

In life, Overlord was a Phase Sixer—an artificially augmented, cyber-organic dreadnought built by Megatron to clean worlds of all sentient life prior to colonial conquest. Overlord was injected with ununtrium, a superdense element that rendered his frame practically indestructible. He had no peers; he knew no fear; he operated entirely on a pathological need to inflict theatrical, operatic butchery until he could secure a duel to the death with Megatron himself.

When Overlord conquered the Autobot maximum-security prison Garrus-9, he did not simply overthrow it; he transformed it into a planet-sized abattoir. He spent three Earth-years hosting gladiatorial spectacles, forcing political prisoners, Autobot generals, and ordinary wardens into lethal, sadistic games. He tortured Fortress Maximus within an inch of his life; he forced mnemosurgeon Trepan to surgically lobotomize prisoners for his amusement; he kept the severed heads of warriors on decorative shelves.

His eventual downfall, orchestrated by the Autobot commando unit known as the Wreckers, culminated in a temporal paradox and matter-collapsing catastrophe. Trapped inside an exploding dimensional vault, his ununtrium frame was pulverized, torn apart molecule by molecule while his spark—hyper-dense, hyper-violent—refused to extinguish.

Stripped of his physical vessel, Overlord’s consciousness curdled into a localized spatial trauma. The ruins of Garrus-9 were quarantined by the Galactic Council. But salvage crews, paranormal recovery units, and naive planetary investigators kept breaking containment.

None of them ever left. They became spectators in his eternal, post-mortem arena.

SECTION III: TRANSCRIPT OF INVESTIGATION LOG: G9-RECOVERY TEAM "APEX"

Date: [REDACTED] Location: Garrus-9, Sub-Level 4 (Former Gladiatorial Pit "The Arena of Trepan") Operatives:

• Lead Investigator: Agent Vahn (Equipped with Thermometer, Spirit Box)
• Technician: Agent Morris (Equipped with EMF Reader, Parabolic Mic)
• Support: Agent Kroll (Equipped with D.O.T.S. Projector, Video Camera, Cruciform Ward)

[00:04:12] - AUDIO INITIATED

VAHN: Comms check. Sub-level 4. Environmental systems have been dead for three centuries, but the air pressure here is fluctuating wildly. Bulkheads are covered in black rust and dried transfluid. Morris, what’s the baseline?

MORRIS: Baseline electromagnetic is... noisy. The whole station is a tomb of dead tech, but I’m getting a steady EMF 2 near the southern archway. Wait. It just jumped to 3.

KROLL: Deploying the D.O.T.S. array in the center of the pit. Look at the floor, Vahn. Those aren't tool marks. Those are gouges from fingers. Hundreds of them, dragged toward the central drain.

VAHN: Keep your head on, Kroll. Watch your sanity levels. Check the injectors. Let’s set up the spirit box on the terminal where Overlord used to broadcast his execution orders.

(A sharp metallic ping echoes down the hallway. It sounds like a knife striking a hollow pipe.)

MORRIS: Did you catch that? Parabolic mic spiked. Direction: thirty meters down the hall, in the primary cell block. It sounded like... laughing. Deep. High vocal resonance. Like someone singing an opera off-key.

VAHN: Temperature is dropping. 12 degrees Celsius... 8 degrees... 2 degrees. Morris, get the camera pointed at the doorway. Kroll, turn on the UV.

KROLL: (Breath visible, condensing inside suit) Sweet mercy. Look at the wall.

(A sickening glow illuminates on the wall. A massive handprint, nearly four feet across, burns in radiant ultraviolet magenta. Below it, scrawled in dripping, luminescent grease, are Cybertronian glyphs that translate roughly to: ARE YOU WATCHING, MEGATRON?)

MORRIS: EMF 5! We have an EMF 5! The meter is screaming!

VAHN: Setting the Spirit Box down. Opening the channel. (Static hisses loudly through the speaker.) Entity designation: Overlord. Can you hear us? Are you trapped here?

(Static. Then, a frequency modulation so heavy it rattles the team's teeth.)

SPIRIT BOX (A wet, smooth, terrifyingly cultured baritone): “...Trapped? Oh... no, little mice. Trapped is what you do to cattle. I am merely... holding court.”

KROLL: (Panic rising) Vahn, the D.O.T.S. grid. Look at the green lasers!

(The green matrix of dots across the room bends. Silhouette lines appear in mid-air. It is an impossible figure—eight meters tall, broad-shouldered, with sweeping back-mounted wings and massive armor plates. The silhouette is not moving naturally; it is twitching, flickering violently, gliding across the floor without footsteps.)

VAHN: Sanity monitors! Check your wrist rigs!

MORRIS: Mine just dumped thirty points! I'm at 45%! Vahn, I can’t breathe, my chest—it feels like an engine block is sitting on my lungs!

SPIRIT BOX: “Who sent you? Was it him? Tell me he’s waiting outside. Tell me he hasn't died an old, soft coward while I’ve been waiting in the dark!”

VAHN: Nobody sent us! We are leaving! Kroll, grab the camera—

(A deafening sonic boom violently shatters the reinforced glass of the observation deck above them. The lights in the chamber immediately flash red, then die completely. The team's headlamps flicker frantically, their beams dimming to faint orange needles.)

MORRIS: HUNT! HE’S HUNTING! THE EXIT DOORS JUST SLAMMED!

KROLL: Smudge it! Burn the incense, Morris, now!

(Sound of Morris igniting a Class-A sanctified warding flare. A cloud of thick, gray-white purifying smoke billows outward. Usually, entities vanish or wander aimlessly when caught in the cleansing smoke. Instead, through the haze, the sound of heavy metal shearing fills the room.)

OVERLORD (Audible in ambient space, not through the radio): “Did you honestly think... that weeds and smoke... would mask your scent from me?”

(Through the smoke, the ghost fully manifests. It is not an ethereal, translucent sheet; it is a nightmare of physical violence. Overlord’s form is rendered in semi-transparent, burning cerulean and white light, his chest plates exposed to reveal an open, churning spark-chamber that leaks pure antimatter. His face is pristine, terrifyingly beautiful, dominated by massive, plump crimson lips pulled back into a sickening, theatrical grimace of ecstasy.)

KROLL: (Screaming) THE CRUCIFORM! VAHN, RAISE THE CRUCIFORM!

(Agent Vahn raises the illuminated Autobot sigil ward. The entity halts three paces away, the spectral air around him boiling into red plasma. His eyes—twin embers of pure, sadistic crimson—narrow in disgust.)

OVERLORD: “The badge of the warden. The badge of that sanctimonious cripple, Fortress Maximus. Do you know how long he screamed before I allowed him to sleep? Do you want to hear it? I have it memorized. Every. Single. Octave.”

(The entity does not retreat. He tilts his head. The lights on the Cruciform ward suddenly shatter, one by one, overloaded by the crushing weight of his presence. The ward goes dark.)

MORRIS: (Faintly, into the static) Run. Vahn, r—

(A massive, phantom metallic hand shoots forward, phasing directly through Morris’s chest-rig. Morris’s scream is instantly cut off. His body does not suffer physical trauma; instead, his physical form turns an icy, translucent white, his eyes rolling back as his vital life-force is violently ripped from his physical chassis, dragged into Overlord’s gaping chest-chamber.)

OVERLORD: “Disappointing. So frail. None of you can take a punch, can you? None of you can make it to the third round.”

(Overlord turns his gaze toward Vahn and Kroll. The sound of high-altitude jet engines begins to reverberate through the floorboards again, rising in pitch toward an ear-splitting crescendo.)

VAHN: Kroll... don't look at his smile. Close your eyes. Don't look at his—

SECTION IV: INVESTIGATOR SURVIVAL GUIDE & MECHANICS

Should your operational unit be contracted to clear Garrus-9, the Kimia research facilities, or any wreckage associated with the Phase Six project, memorize the following behavior patterns immediately:

1. The "Beautiful Smile" Phenomenon (Sanity Drain Event)

Unlike standard ghosts which cause fear through sudden manifestations or environmental destruction, Overlord relies on pure psychological dominance. During "Ghost Events," he will often appear perfectly motionless at the end of a long hallway, arms crossed, leaning against the wall, smiling.

• The Trap: Investigators who look at his face suffer an accelerated Sanity Drain of 15% per second.
• Countermeasure: You must break line of sight immediately. Look at the floor. If you stare into his optical sensors, he will register you as a "Challenger" and initiate an instantaneous Hunt regardless of average team sanity.

2. The Sound of the Dual Engines

Overlord does not have standard hunting footsteps. He has two unique hunting cues:

• If he is approaching at low speed, investigators will hear the rhythmic, bone-crushing grind of tank treads vibrating through the structural integrity of the floor. The metal beneath your feet will bow upward in rhythmic waves.
• If he detects an investigator running, he shifts into "Interception Mode." The sound transforms into the high-pitched shriek of twin turbofan ramjets. His movement speed increases to triple that of an investigator at sprint capacity. You cannot outrun him. Your only salvation is hiding within lead-lined containment lockers or sliding beneath dead transformer carcasses where your biological signatures are masked.

3. The "Megatron Paranoia" Trigger

If any player says the name "Megatron" near the Spirit Box, or speaks it into the station’s intercom system:

• The entity will instantly become enraged.
• The room temperature will permanently drop below zero.
• He will initiate a hunt within 10 seconds, regardless of sanity thresholds or whether smudge sticks have been recently deployed.
• Note: While extremely hazardous, this can be used strategically by a designated "Bait" operative to draw the entity away from downed teammates or the extraction shuttle.

4. Cursed Possession Remnants (Site Specific)

Investigators may encounter unique Cursed Possessions native to his haunt:

• The Broken Aequitas Datapad: Interacting with this pad will reveal the entity's exact location on the facility map, but will instantly drop all investigators' sanity to zero, as the machine forces the user to mentally process the absolute mathematical weight of every atrocity committed under Overlord's command.
• The Smelting Arena Bell: Ringing this rusted iron gong forces Overlord to physically manifest in the central chamber for an uninterrupted 30-second window, allowing researchers to capture visual evidence (Photographs, D.O.T.S. reads). However, once the 30 seconds expire, an unavoidable, lethal hunt begins that cannot be stopped until at least one operative is claimed.

SECTION V: POST-ACTION DEBRIEF & CONCLUSION

Recovery teams dispatched seventy-two hours after the loss of Team Apex discovered their transport shuttle still docked in the Garrus-9 primary bay.

The three investigators were found in the gladiator pit. They had not been dismembered; their gear remained mostly intact. However, all three were completely hollowed—their nervous systems burnt to ash by an incomprehensible overload of adrenaline and terror.

Their bodies had been dragged and arranged meticulously into the VIP viewing box, seated upright in the audience chairs, facing the center of the arena floor.

Scratched into the floor directly in front of their corpses was a single sentence, written in massive, glowing lines of frozen energon:

“THE SHOW MUST GO ON. BRING BETTER COMBATANTS NEXT TIME.”

Status: Containment deemed IMPOSSIBLE. Recommendation: Orbital bombardment of Sub-Level 4. If orbital assets are unavailable, seal the airlocks, weld the docking ports, and strike Garrus-9 from all stellar navigational charts. Do not answer distress beacons from this sector. He has learned how to mimic the emergency frequencies.

CLASSIFIED INCIDENT DOSSIER: ENTITY DESIGNATION “MNEMO-SURGEON”

Site: Orbital Penal Colony Garrus-9, Wing Delta (Medical Ward / Cortex Quarry) Threat Classification: Cognitive Parasite / Class-IV Phantasm Primary Alias: Trepan Investigative Protocols: D.O.T.S. Projection, Ghost Writing Loggers, High-Frequency Spirit Box, Thermal Imaging

SECTION I: THE GHOST HUNTING JOURNAL ENTRY

TREPAN ENTRY Entity Name: Trepan

(Also known in life as: The Carver of Memory, The Grand Inquisitor’s Scalpel)

"Where other entities shatter steel and rend flesh, Trepan takes what makes you a thinking creature. He does not want your carcass; he wants your identity, your childhood, your grief, and your name. When Trepan is near, the fear is not of dying—it is the quiet horror of forgetting that you ever existed at all."

Observed Evidences:

1. D.O.T.S. Projector: Unlike large, predatory specters that charge through the laser field, Trepan materializes as a hunched, rail-thin figure standing entirely motionless in the green grid. He is seen leaning over empty space, long, segmented spinal needles extending from his spectral fingers like a spider’s legs, poised to pierce the brainstem of an invisible patient.
2. Ghost Writing (Clinical Case Notes): When provided with blank books, parchment, or dormant digital datapads, Trepan does not draw violent sigils or scrawl aggressive curses. Instead, he produces immaculate, trembling surgical cursive: psychiatric diagnoses, anatomical cross-sections of Cybertronian and humanoid nervous systems, and repeated, manic repetitions of: “PLEASE HOLD STILL. THIS WILL ONLY STING FOR A CENTURY.”
3. Spirit Box: Operates on extreme low frequencies. He does not shout or growl. He speaks in a soft, polite, utterly dead-eyed clinical monotone, accompanied by the wet, rhythmic sound of drill bits spinning through cerebrospinal fluid. He often mimics medical reassurances: “Inhale... exhale... the pain is simply memory leaving the chassis.”

Entity Strengths:

• The Retrograde Siphon (Amnesia Drain): Trepan’s sanity drain manifests as acute, weaponized dementia. Investigators in his presence do not simply feel terrified—they begin forgetting their active tasking. Equipment disappears from their hands (they dropped it without realizing); map layouts become impossible to navigate; radio protocols break down as operatives forget their callsigns.
• The Sedative Atmosphere: Hunts do not announce themselves with violent stomping. Instead, the ambient audio completely mutes within a 15-meter radius around the entity. All sound drops into dead silence, save for a soft, metallic tink-tink-tink—the sound of long mnemosurgical needles tapping against each other.
• Solitary Harvest: Trepan targets isolated investigators. If an operative is separated by even a single bulkhead, his hunt threshold spikes to 75% sanity.

Entity Weaknesses:

• Cognitive Anchor (The Keepsake): Trepan is violently repulsed by objects of immense, uncorrupted emotional significance (e.g., family photographs, engraved service medals, un-erased memory slugs). Placing such an item in his path forces him to recoil, weeping static from his hollowed optical sockets as his surgical hands clutch his own shattered skull.
• Electromagnetic Flashover: Bright, high-intensity light flares (such as standard military UV bursts or high-lumen flashbangs) disrupt his delicate neuro-spectral anchor, forcing him into the spirit realm for up to ninety seconds.

SECTION II: APPARITIONAL HISTORY & ORIGIN

In the dark history of Cybertron’s golden age and subsequent fall, Mnemosurgery was the most reviled of arts—the science of physically entering another being's mind via needles pushed directly into the cerebral cortex, manually cutting away memories, implanting artificial traumas, or lobotomizing the subject into a hollowed-out drone.

Trepan was among its most gifted and depraved practitioners.

When Overlord seized Garrus-9, he kept Trepan on an iron leash. Overlord was the butcher, but Trepan was the sculptor. In the deep sub-basements of Wing Delta—colloquially named the "Cortex Quarry"—Trepan operated on hundreds of captive Autobots. He unpicked their loyalties, peeled back their minds to expose their darkest secrets for Overlord’s amusement, and created the "Lobos"—prisoners whose minds were so thoroughly carved away that they could do nothing but wander the prison halls, weeping and drooling lubricating fluid, entirely obedient.

Trepan did not survive the liberation of Garrus-9. When the Autobot strike team breached his operating suite, they did not shoot him. They turned his own tools upon him.

Using the heavy, pneumatic needles of his own mnemosurgical chair, they performed a crude, vengeful psychic patch, linking his consciousness to the collective, screaming memories of every prisoner he had ever lobotomized. The resulting neuro-feedback loop roasted his braincase from the inside out, burning his spark into a fused knot of perpetual cognitive agony.

In death, Trepan’s ghost remains trapped in that surgical theater, perpetually trying to "fix" the minds of anyone who enters, desperate to carve away his victims' memories to fill the gaping, hollow void inside his own spectral cranium.

SECTION III: TRANSCRIPT OF INVESTIGATION LOG: G9-RECOVERY TEAM "SIGMA-9"

Date: [REDACTED] Location: Garrus-9, Wing Delta (Operating Theater 03, "The Quarry") Operatives:

• Lead Investigator: Agent Carrow (Equipped with Video Rig, Spirit Box)
• Technician: Agent Diaz (Equipped with Ghost Writing Book, Thermometer, EMF Reader)
• Analyst: Agent Bale (Equipped with D.O.T.S. Projector, Sound Sensor)

[00:02:15] - AUDIO INITIATED

CARROW: Comms check. We've pushed into Wing Delta. Diaz, watch your footing—the deck plates are slick with some kind of clear fluid. Smells like refined paraffin and old lithium grease.

DIAZ: That’s neuro-preservative fluid. They used it to keep excised memory cores from spoiling. Thermometer is dropping, Carrow. It was 18 Celsius at the airlock; down here it’s 4.

BALE: Setting the D.O.T.S. projector on the operating table in the center of the room. Look at the chair. Leather straps, reinforced carbon-steel clamps for the cranial plate. There are gouges in the armrests where patients tore their own digits off trying to pull away.

CARROW: EMF readings?

DIAZ: Nothing high. A faint EMF 2 hovering right around the surgical tray. Wait... the needles on the tray are vibrating.

(A faint, rhythmic metallic sound echoes across the room: clack-clack-clack-clack.)

CARROW: Diaz, place the writing book on the tray next to the scalpels. Back away slowly. I’m firing up the Spirit Box.

(Static hiss fills the comms. Carrow adjusts the scan rate.)

CARROW: Entity in the ward. Can you hear my voice? Are you the surgeon on duty?

SPIRIT BOX (A soft, razor-thin voice, speaking through a low static hum): “...Patient... unstrapped... The cortex is... inflamed...”

DIAZ: (Whispering) God, that's clear. Ask it what it wants.

CARROW: What procedure are you performing?

SPIRIT BOX: “Extraction. The memory of your mother’s voice... is taking up... too much space. We must... prune it.”

BALE: Carrow, Diaz—look at the D.O.T.S. matrix. Right now.

(Through the green laser grid, a silhouette forms. It is tall, spine curved at an agonizing angle. From its knuckles, long, needle-thin tendrils twitch and flex like insect legs. The figure is bent over Diaz’s shadow, its fingers tracing lines along the back of Diaz’s neck.)

DIAZ: I feel cold. I feel... wait. Why did we come down here?

CARROW: Diaz, back up! Get out of the laser grid!

DIAZ: (Confused, voice flat and lethargic) Who is Diaz? I’m... I was supposed to be somewhere. Carrow? Why are you holding that radio? Who are you?

BALE: His sanity meter! It just dropped to 12%! He’s experiencing immediate neuro-decay! Diaz, snap out of it!

(The pages of the Ghost Writing book on the tray begin rapidly flipping on their own, accompanied by the furious scratching of an invisible stylus. The pencil lead snaps, but the scratching continues, carving grooves into the paper.)

CARROW: (Checking the book under flashlight) Ghost Writing confirmed! It’s drawing a diagram of Diaz’s brainstem with a needle punched through the frontal lobe! Bale, grab him, we need to fall back to the airlock!

BALE: (Voice panic-stricken) The door... the door controls aren't responding. The console is dead!

(Suddenly, every sound in the room vanishes. The hum of the environmental recyclers, the hiss of the comms radio, the sound of their own footsteps—absolute, terrifying silence drops like a lead curtain. The lights in the chamber do not flicker red; they slowly, gently dim into a dull, twilight blue.)

CARROW (Sub-vocal mic, barely audible): Hunt. It’s a silent hunt. He’s in the room.

(Diaz stands in the center of the surgical theater, staring vacantly at his hands. Emerging from the ceiling directly above him, Trepan descends upside-down, his metal chassis moving with the unnatural, silent fluidity of an arachnid. His optical visors glow with a cold, sickly amber. His fingers—fourteen-inch-long surgical drills—spin slowly, emitting microscopic clouds of blue sparks.)

CARROW: (Lifting the keepsake: his service pendant) Get away from him! Trepan! Look at this!

(Carrow thrusts the engraved Autobot medal into the entity's path. Trepan freezes inches from Diaz’s skull. The ghost violently contorts, his jaw unhinging to emit a soundless, high-frequency scream that causes the glass on the team’s faceplates to micro-fracture. Trepan clutches his head, his fingers puncturing his own transparent skull, before vanishing into thin air.)

CARROW: Bale, grab Diaz! Now! Run!

SECTION IV: INVESTIGATOR SURVIVAL GUIDE & MECHANICS

When engaging the entity designated Trepan, traditional paranormal defense rules are inverted. Because he targets cognitive function rather than physical integrity, standard avoidance tactics must be radically adjusted:

1. The Amnesia Mechanic (HUD and Inventory Degradation)

Trepan does not just deplete team sanity; his presence induces functional amnesia in investigators:

• Level 1 Exposure (Sanity 70–50%): The investigator’s compass and minimap begin to distort, spinning erratically or displaying corridors that do not exist.
• Level 2 Exposure (Sanity 49–25%): The investigator randomly drops held items without an alert. Tools in the inventory become labeled with static or gibberish.
• Level 3 Exposure (Sanity below 25%): The investigator forgets how to sprint, loses the ability to read equipment screens (all text displays as corrupted Cybertronian glyphs), and cannot hear comms from teammates.

2. The Silent Hunt Protocol

Trepan does not emit footsteps or vocal cues during a hunt. Instead, investigators will recognize his hunt by the following telltales:

• The Absolute Vacuum: Ambient game audio drops to zero. If you suddenly cannot hear your own footsteps or your flashlight clicking, Trepan is actively hunting.
• The Shadow Stalk: Trepan does not pursue your physical body; he pursues your cast shadow. If he steps onto your shadow, your sanity drops to zero instantly, triggering a lethal strike where his needles phase through the nape of your neck.
• Countermeasure: Investigators must turn off all flashlights and light sources immediately during a hunt. In total darkness, you cast no shadow, rendering Trepan completely blind to your location.

3. Cursed Possession Remnants (Wing Delta Specific)

• The Mnemosurgical Cradle: Interacting with this rusted operating chair will force the entity to answer three questions via the Spirit Box with 100% accuracy (Ghost Room, Preferred Evidence, Current Sanity). However, the investigator who sits in the chair permanently loses 50% of their sanity and suffers from permanent memory corruption for the remainder of the mission.
• The Preserved Cortex Jar: Smashing this jar on the floor will stun Trepan for 20 seconds if he is hunting, as he is compelled to drop to his knees and desperately try to "scoop up" the spilled memories. However, doing so permanently lowers the ambient temperature of the entire facility, making Freezing Temperatures ubiquitous and useless as an evidence type.

SECTION V: POST-ACTION DEBRIEF & STATUS REPORT

Agent Diaz survived extraction from Wing Delta, but the cognitive damage was irreversible. Medical personnel at the Orbital Relay reported that Diaz retained all basic autonomic functions (breathing, motor control), but his long-term memory had been cleanly excised. He could no longer remember his hometown, his career with the bureau, or his own family.

When asked by psychiatrists what had happened to him in the dark of Garrus-9, Diaz could only whisper a single sentence over and over:

“The doctor said my memories were cluttering the room. He took them to keep the desk clean.”

Status: Wing Delta has been sealed behind three layers of reinforced blast-doors. Advisory: Any operative entering Sub-Level 4 or Wing Delta must wear lead-lined psychic dampeners around their cranial helmets. Do not carry personal journals into the ward. If you begin forgetting your own name, discharge your weapon into the ceiling to alert your team, close your eyes, and pray to whatever god you still remember.

Ghost Classifications OVERLORD: The Demon (Variant: Apex Class) Description: The most violently aggressive entity on record. Overlord hunts not out of confusion, but out of pure sadism and pride. He has an extraordinarily high sanity threshold for hunting (can hunt at 70% sanity, or instantly if provoked by specific triggers). When he has line-of-sight on an investigator, his speed accelerates exponentially, turning him into an unstoppable freight train of spectral force. TREPAN: The Moroi (Variant: Neuro-Parasite) Description: An insidious, cerebral ghost that afflicts its victims through psychic contagion. Trepan “curses” investigators through the Spirit Box or Parabolic Mic, causing their sanity to decay at three times the standard rate. As the team's sanity drops, Trepan’s movement speed and hunting aggression steadily increase, feeding on their hollowed-out minds.

Evidence Profiles (Strictly Three Each)

Overlord

EMF Level 5 (Residual ununtrium and antimatter spark radiation violently overloading detectors)

Freezing Temperatures (Cryogenic drops from the thermal vacuum of his spatial-collapse demise)

Ultraviolet (Massive, four-foot magenta handprints and predatory lip imprints left on doors/bulkheads)

Trepan

Spirit Box (Clinical, razor-soft whispers and the wet clatter of spinning surgical drills)

Ghost Writing (Anatomical neuro-diagrams and lobotomy logs carved deep into book pages)

D.O.T.S. Projector (A tall, hunched silhouette poised upside-down or hovering with long, needle-fingered hands)

Entity Interactions: The Master & The Scalpel

When both entities occupy the ruins of Garrus-9, they operate under a twisted master-and-hound dynamic:

The Stalker-Striker Dynamic: Trepan acts as the primer, and Overlord acts as the executioner. Trepan hunts silently, stalking isolated players to drain their sanity down to zero via amnesia and auditory curses. Once the team's average sanity drops below 50%, Overlord is drawn to the smell of their panic, immediately triggering a violent, high-speed hunt to harvest the victims Trepan has already disoriented.

The "Master's Shadow" (Interruption Hierarchy): Trepan is terrified of Overlord, even in death. If Trepan is in the middle of a manifestation or an active hunt, and Overlord begins a Ghost Event or Hunt anywhere nearby, Trepan will instantly vanish. The sound of Overlord’s jet-engines or grinding tank treads violently dispels Trepan’s manifestation, sending him into hiding for several minutes.

The Diagnostic Call: If an investigator uses smudge sticks or light wards to repel Trepan, Trepan will emit a high-frequency, glass-shattering sonic screech across the facility. This sound does not hurt the player, but it acts as a homing flare: it guarantees that Overlord will immediately roam toward Trepan's current room to investigate the disturbance.
