The Daniels Tape

NOTE: This video was collected in 1999 from a photographer named Timothy Daniels. It was on a tape he had left behind in his home. The tape was discovered three days after his disappearance. It's one of the few pieces of video evidence concerning PRE06 --SΣ

P05B04: "The Jester"

NOTE: The P05A00 and P05B00 series refer to those controlled by PRE05. The difference is that the A series possesses no free will and is entirely enslaved to PRE05 and the B series possesses some degree of autonomy. --SΣ

cheat code: the third word is "big"

Designation: P05B04

Aliases: The Jester, The Mummer, The Fool, The Joker, The Mime

Physical Characteristics: A male in either his late twenties or early thirties. Caucasian. Short brown hair and tanned skin. Wears a mask that is reminiscent of a clown's face.

History of Activity: Records of P05B04 are confused and unclear. First believed to have been sighted in Sussex, England in 1889. Has appeared sporadically throughout history. It is unclear whether this is the same individual or if the mask and identity are passed on to different people. Has never been observed to speak and does not seem to be employed in any specific type of assignments. Has been connected to murders, robberies, and kidnappings throughout the twentieth century. Last recorded sighting was *CLASSIFIED*

NOTE: We've actually managed to obtain a mugshot of him, and for once it's not classified. --SΣ

PRE10: "Black Dog"

Designation: PRE10

Colloquial Terms: The Black Dog, Haunter, Garm, Nighthound, Grim, Seamus, Harbinger, SEEKER

Physical Characteristics: Appears as a large black dog. The ears are pointed and the snout is elongated. The eyes appear as either black or red. Muscular body structure. Size changes, ranging from four feet (1.22 meters) tall to nearly ten feet (3 meters) tall.

Behavioral Characteristics: Often seeks out people with long kept secrets. Will bring its victim objects which somehow relate to that secret, goading them into revealing it. Has been observed to outright attack victims who do not reveal their secrets soon enough. Is occasionally seen working with other PREs, often acting as a herald and preparing the way for the PREs appearance. Has been known to sniff out secrets for PREs to use against their victims, either to destroy the victim's psyche or to manipulate the victim for the purposes of the Game.

Experiment 144

NOTE: Experiments 108-143 are classified --SΣ

 Designation: Experiment 144

Purpose: To determine if proximity to PRE06 Doors has any adverse effects on PRE09

Data: Archive Analysts created a "light cage" to capture a body of PRE09. The "light cage" was constructed using data gathered from Experiment 113. After confirming the appearance of a Door, Analysts transported the cage and PRE09 to its location. All monitoring equipment was damaged. All Analysts present on site were found in vegetative states. No sign of the Door. No sign of PRE09. Location of Experiment 144 has been quarantined and designated G004. No object has been observed casting a shadow in G004 since Experiment 144 was carried out. Three of the original seven Analysts remain alive, but in a vegetative state. They have not cast shadows since Experiment 144 was carried out.

PRE09: "Shadow People"

Designation: PRE09

Colloquial Terms: Shadow People, Shadow Cartographers, Shadowgraphers, Impressions, Regulars, The Miracle, SILHOUETTE

Physical Characteristics: They appear as multiple shadows, usually in the shape of humans, but they are able to alter their forms. Like PRE07, seem to be multiple beings.

Behavioral Characteristics: Rarely hostile. Seem to detest changes in an environment, and will move objects back to their original places (NOTE: So if you, say, rearrange your furniture, PRE09 may put it all back to how it was before -- SΣ). Have been observed to shy away from Doors leading to PRE06. One current theory is that they are *CLASSIFIED*

PRE08: "Cold Boy"

Designation: PRE08

Colloquial Terms: The Cold Boy, CHILD, Glass, Frost, Cryme

Physical Characteristics: Appears as a small male human child with skin made of ice. Face is often described as blurred and difficult to make out.

Behavioral Characteristics: Seems to target individuals who are cut off from others. One of the few PREs who has been routinely observed speaking directly to humans, often speaking in the form of nursery rhymes. Has the ability to lower temperature, often killing his victim's through the cold. Some victims, however, are instead *CLASSIFIED*

PRE07: "Choir"

Designation: PRE07

Colloquial Terms: The Choir, Echo, Chorus, Static, Distortion, SHRIEKING

Physical Characteristics: Appears to be multiple entities, similar to PRE09. Each individual body is shadowy and in the rough shape of a human. Gray in color.

Behavioral Characteristics: Possesses control over soundwaves. PRE07 is able to alter the way people hear, putting words into the mouths of others. They usually use this ability to slowly drive their victims into madness, but have been observed making more direct attacks by employing high pitched siren-like sounds that rupture victim's eardrums, shatter glass, and/or hemorrhage the victim's brain. NOTE: I've actually seen this first-hand. One of the guys I trained with was found dead in his room about two years ago, with blood and gunk flowing out of his ears. Apparently, he'd done something to piss these guys off. -- SΣ
