The following information is what anyone who investigated files aboard the UCSS Destiny received, pertaining to the start of the Apparition crisis.

THE UNITED NATIONS OF CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, FIJI AND JAPAN RESEARCH SECTION FOR UNDERSTANDING THE LOGIC OF “APPARITIONS”. FOR AUTHORISED UNITED NATIONS OF CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, FIJI AND JAPAN RESEARCH SECTION OFFICIALS ONLY. HIGHEST CLEARANCE REQUIRED.

PROJECT URSULA is a project for those with highest clearance only. In 2070, the UCCNZFJ Research Section became aware of reports of supernatural activity with provable occurrence. Stories were investigated by UCCNZFJ officials and hard evidence was found of supernatural events and beings. In order to contain these supernatural beings, to protect the population of the planet, and to understand these “apparitions”, the UCCNZFJ Research Section for Understanding the Logic of “Apparitions” was founded and crack teams were deployed to secure artefacts and contain them.

At the request of ████████████████████, highest clearance, Director ██████████ has compiled information on the most informative subjects for the use in UCCNZFJ highest clearance discussions as per URSULA regulation #8729. Information presented in these documents is HIGHLY SENSITIVE and while every precaution has been made to ensure MINIMAL MEMETIC INFECTION CHANCE, any and all reading these documents must be made aware of the potential consequences, particularly with interaction with ███████████████████████████.

Subject 18 presents as a █████████ breed of cat. It is approximately 46cm long and appears docile to all that approach it. It was found in the ruins of ███████████████ in ███████████ surrounded by seven youths of secondary school age. The blood of the youths was found in the fur of the creature. Upon first examination, Subject 18 does not have the claws or teeth to be capable of causing the vicious injuries sustained by the youths (see Subject 18-A, 18-B, 18-C, 18-D, 18-E, 18-F, 18-G).

Subject 18 must be contained at all times in a locked room. Entry into this room is only permitted to High Clearance personnel who must be equipped with full Kevlar Body Armour at all times.

Experimentation with Subject 18 has confirmed that it responds to positive human contact at which point it grows to 420cm, and attempts to eviscerate the human it is interacting with. Subject ████████ and Subject █████████ have both been relieved from duty as they recuperate from the wounds received.

Advice from Director ████████████: contain for further analysis.

As you read this entry, you set about trying to decrypt the missing data. By the time you reach the end of this entry you have on an SD card the decrypted missing word from the first line of this entry. Every other piece of redacted information cannot be recovered.

Subject 4 presents as a single A4 piece of paper reading ███████████████████. It was recovered from ███████████████████ in █████████ where twelve bodies were discovered in proximity.

Subject 4 is to be contained in a solid opaque box. Interaction with Subject 4 may only occur using physical examination. Visual examination is strictly forbidden by Director █████████████████.

Illiterate test subjects were acquired from ██████████████ by Director ███████████████ for the purpose of investigating Subject 4. Illiterate subjects reported no problems with interacting with Subject 4 and questioned the purpose of the object.

Literate test subjects were acquired from ██████████████ prison by Director ███████████████ for the purpose of investigating Subject 4. There were no survivors.

A child of the age of 4 was acquired from ██████████████ by Director ███████████████ for the purpose of investigating Subject 4. The child survived.

Photographic evidence of Subject 4 has been acquired and destroyed. The mainframe where the photographic evidence was stored has been burned. Regulation #291 has been declared requiring all visual information to be stored physically and not digitally.

Subject 95 presents as an empty cubic room, 3m x 3m x 3m. Entry into this room is strictly forbidden to all test subjects since ███████████████ due to certain chance of termination. Entry into the room is believed to summon apparition-like monsters of the deepest fears of test subjects (see Experiment 95-R) which proceed to terminate the test subject. The room is presumed to be a trap.

Subject 95 is not an apparition. Subject 95 is an empty cubic room which contains an open mundane vial of anthrax. Experiment 95-Z proves that the room does not cause apparitions to appear. Further research required into the actual nature and appearance of apparitions.

Test subjects requisitioned from Director ███████████████████

Subject ███████████ (95-R-1) and Subject ████████████ (95-R-2) were instructed to enter Subject 95 as a pair as per Regulation #686. Upon entering the room, two large scorpions appeared. The scorpions terminated subject 95-R-1 and 95-R-2 and were eventually escorted from the room by personnel and secured elsewhere (see Subjects 96, 97).

Subject ███████████ (95-R-3) and Subject ████████████ (95-R-4) were asked for information pertaining to their own fears. 95-R-3 reported fear of ghosts. 95-R-4 reported fear of lizards. 95-R-3 and 95-R-4 were instructed to enter Subject 95 as a pair as per Regulation #685. Upon entering, a large lizard appeared and terminated both subjects. The lizard was terminated by personnel.

Subject █████████████ (95-R-5) and Subject ██████████████ (95-R-6) were asked for information pertaining to their own fears. 95-R-5 reported fear of the dark. 95-R-6 reported fear of being trapped. 95-R-5 and 95-R-6 were instructed to enter Subject 95 as a pair as per Regulation #685. 95-R-6 refused to do so. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████, 95-R-7 reported fear of clowns. Upon entering, the room filled with darkness which dissipated upon the termination of both subjects from unknown conditions.

Due to ████████████████████████████████████ 95-R-6 ███████████████████ abandoned by order of Director ███████████████.

Following new instructions from Director █████████████████ and the abandonment of Regulation #685, further experimentation continued.

Subject ████████████████ (95-Z-1) was asked for information pertaining to their own fears. 95-Z-1 reported fear of sharks. 95-Z-1 entered the room and began choking, eventually terminated. Apparition-like creatures appeared in the control room outside Subject 95 in the appearance of creatures in the form ██████████████████ reported by control personnel as one of their personal fears. All personnel containing Subject 95 were terminated. The creatures (from the film █████████████████) were terminated by URSULA personnel.

Upon investigation of Subject 95-Z-1, he was found to have died from airborne anthrax in the room. Regulation #9511 created to require all subjects to be vigorously checked for pathogens and other mundane dangerous substances passed by Director ███████████████.

Relation to EVENT ZERO THEORY likely. Director █████████████████ committed research into likely EVENT ZERO candidates following this experiment.

INVESTIGATION INTO ██████████████ AND EVENT ZERO NOW A PRIORITY.

ALL PERSONNEL UNTRAINED FOR MEMETIC RESISTANCE ARE NOW LOWER CLEARANCE.

ALL EXPERIMENTS TO BE REVIEWED IN PERSON BY DIRECTOR ███████████████████████.

FOR AUTHORISED UNITED NATIONS OF CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, FIJI AND JAPAN RESEARCH SECTION OFFICIALS ONLY. HIGHEST CLEARANCE REQUIRED.

Event Zero is a hypothetical event which is suggested to explain the appearance of apparitions as per the theory of ███████████████.

███████████████'s hypothesis states that apparitions appear from another universe and, consequently, obey different laws and logic to those of this universe. In particular, the theory states that human deaths are directly linked to breaching that universe: that apparition appearances are caused by human termination.

If the hypothesis is correct, Event Zero is an event of human death on such magnitude that inter-dimensional breach may have occurred on such a large scale as to enable apparitions to freely flow to this universe.

Evidence for ██████████'s Hypothesis: apparition appearances near sites of human death are statistically likely; apparition numbers correlate with numbers of human deaths; apparitions do not necessarily follow laws of this universe; apparitions have a proven hostility to human life and a purpose to terminate humans.

Evidence against ███████████'s Hypothesis: multiverse travel would require significantly more energy than has been detected near apparitions; no energy spikes are seen near apparitions; apparitions take on the appearance of artefacts of this universe.

Following Experiment 95-Z and Incident 86A, ████████████'s Hypothesis is accepted as highly likely to be correct. As per order from Director ██████████████, all experiments are to occur under ██████████'s Assumption of Human Death Causing Apparition Appearances. Regulation #0000 enumerates this procedure.

Event Zero is now working hypothesis for initial apparition appearances. Likely candidates are listed in EVENT ZERO APPENDIX F.

Event Zero is believed to have occurred in late 2070, as apparitions began appearing after this point. Catastrophic disasters of 2070 of mass simultaneous human death are therefore all likely EVENT ZERO candidates:

• Tsunami of 2070-08-12 off the coast of Japan killing 728.
• Earthquake of 2070-08-24 in San Francisco, collapsing a tower building, killing 902.
• Aeroplane crash with passenger ferry of 2070-09-03, killing 432.
• Sinkhole in metropolitan Peru of 2070-09-18, killing 1,092.
• Forest fire of 2070-09-30 in Canada, killing 103.

No candidate is confirmed as Event Zero. Further research is occurring.
