Subject-83's History

File ID: #83-052

Access Level: 4

Classification: Top Secret

Entity Name: Subject-83 (AKA: Face in the Stairwell)

Brief:

Subject-83, known colloquially as "The Face in the Stairwell," was first reported in 2021 in the stairwell of an abandoned building in New York City. The entity appears as a spectral face imprinted on one of the stairwell's walls, capable of communication and displaying a high level of intelligence.

Physical Description:

Subject-83 manifests as an ethereal, semi-translucent human face emerging from one of the concrete walls in the stairwell. It remains stationary and exhibits no discernible body. The facial expression of Subject-83 appears calm and is capable of subtle changes, though it does not display a wide range of emotions.

Behavior and Abilities:

Subject-83 has demonstrated the ability to communicate verbally, despite the absence of any visible mouth movement. It responds to questions and has shown a remarkable understanding of various topics, including quantum physics, ancient history, and human psychology.

Its most notable ability, however, is that it seems to be able to perceive the past and future of those who interact with it. This has led to several instances where Subject-83 provided accurate information about past events and predicted future occurrences.

Interaction Protocol:

Interactions with Subject-83 require approval from at least one Level 4 Supervisor. All interactions must be logged, and any information received should be verified independently. It is also recommended that personnel avoid discussing personal details with Subject-83 due to its ability to perceive past and potential future events.

History and Containment Efforts:

Subject-83 was first reported in 2021. Due to its stationary nature, containment efforts have focused on securing the building where it resides. The building has been designated as a controlled site under the guise of a hazardous material cleanup to deter public attention.

Notable Incidents:

Incident 83-08: During an interaction session, Subject-83 accurately described a Level 3 Researcher's childhood event, which was subsequently confirmed by the Researcher.

Incident 83-17: Subject-83 provided information about a then-undiscovered Subject, details of which later proved accurate when Subject-97 was discovered.

Additional Notes:

Subject-83, or the Face in the Stairwell, is a unique case due to its stationary nature and its unusual method of communication. While it does not pose a direct physical threat, the information it possesses could potentially lead to security breaches or unintended consequences. It is important to continue monitoring Subject-83 and studying its capabilities to better understand its nature and origins.
