IC-2339 : Cascade's Creatures

“	At times the containment procedures can, well fail, and only by understanding the creatures you encounter, can you hope to survive.	”
	~ Dr. A. Monke

Cascade's Creatures Description

IC-2339 Cascade's Creatures, is a documentary television show hosted by Dr. A. Monke, a scientist that claims to have 30+ years experience within the Gate Cascade Facility's Research Division.

Each episode of the documentary offers insight into different entity's behavior, as well as providing strategies for overcoming an encounter with them outside of containment. Broadcasts are sporadic, and appear to increase in frequency during a facility-wide containment breach.

Even with indepth enquiries, there is no record of any production company ever taking on Cascade's Creatures as a project, despite the “IBC” logo at the beginning of each episode. An unidentified female voice is present on the recordings, suspected to be the person operating the camera.

Dr. A. Monke

Dr. A. Monke is a scientist with a distinct British accent that hosts Cascade's Creatures.

A search of the Gate personnel system has revealed that no such employee has ever worked at the facility; and wider searches of government databases suggest that he doesn't, and never has existed. Supporting this theory, interviews with scientists that had been working at the time Dr. Monke was supposedly employed, have reported no memory of the man or his work. Regardless, Dr. Monke does possess intimate knowledge of the entities housed within the Cascade Facility, even those that have only been discovered in recent years.

Guest Appearances

Over the years, a number of scientists have found themselves appearing in a Cascade's Creatures episode, an event they retain no memory of. In these instances, Gate employees are usually maimed or perish during demonstrations of encounters with different entities. However, they continue to exist within the facility, with no signs of physical damage or recollection of the event.

Whilst no physical harm has been experienced by employees featured in the documentary, psychological issues have been reported by all participants. E.g. Sudden and irrational fear of the entity or hazard they encountered in the episode. Investigation is underway to understand how Cascade's Creatures acquires footage of these scientists, as it is unknown whether the subjects are physically taken, or if there is some form of reality-bending technology in use.

IC-2339 Employee Identification Test Log

Background

IC-2339 also known as "Cascade's Creatures", is a documentary that provides valuable survival information for employees at Gate Cascade. It is speculated that this programme only reveals itself to Gate employees and not outsiders i.e. Visitors and Intruders. Test to be run during minor containment breaches, due to increased frequency of encounters during these instances. Dedicated researchers are on standby until such an event occurs.

___________________________________

Test Series Aim

To test the accuracy of employee identification by IC-2339.

___________________________________

Hypothesis

It was predicted that, regardless of the clothing each subject was wearing, IC-2339 would successfully identify all Gate Employees.

___________________________________

Method

• Materials:
  - Television Sets x5
  - Gate Research Division Uniforms
  - Civilian Clothing
  - Subjects Employed by Gate
  - Civilian Subjects
  - Recently Fired Employees
  - Bodycams

• Steps:
  - 1: Gate Researchers were stationed in a testing chamber fitted with 5 TVs, waiting for Cascades Creatures to air on a screen.
  - 2: Once encountered, the employee left the room to be replaced by the test subject.
  - 3: Each subject was fitted with a body camera.
  - 4: Subjects then reported if the documentary was visible to them on the screen.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

___________________________________

Test Number	Gate Employee Status	Clothing Worn	Encountered IC-2339?
00076	Civilian	Civilian	No
00095	Civilian	Gate Uniform	No
00099	Fired Employee	Gate Uniform	No
00103	Fired Employee	Civilian	No
00127	Current Employee	Gate Uniform	Yes
00160	Current Employee	Civilian	Yes

Conclusion : These results confirmed the Hypothesis, with IC-2339 identifying 100% of the current Gate Employees, regardless of clothing. More tests are required to confirm results.

Furthermore, this suggest that IC-2339 does not use visual clues to identify Gate Employees, but rather, by some other unknown process.

Trivia

• The programme claims to be supplied by the "Gate Broadcasting Service" and written by "Apathetic Apes", both of which are unknown entities.

• Attempts at recording the documentary have been unsuccessful, the tapes coming out blank or distorted beyond recognition.
