DANGER: COMPROMISED AREA!!!
If you suspect an active Seeker/Hunter Infiltration Operation is in progress in your home, this document provides visual and electronic indicators to confirm their presence. Do not engage. If these indicators are confirmed, initiate Emergency Disconnect Procedures and evacuate immediately.
1. Electrical Anomalies (The "Ghost Grid")
Because the Seeker hijacks existing municipal wiring to act as its own nervous system, its presence is most easily detected through the power grid.
- Constant Fluxes: If lights dim or flicker in a rhythmic pattern that does not correlate with standard power demand, a Seeker is likely mapping the room's occupancy.
- Phantom Draws: Check your electricity meter. A constant, low-level power draw (approx. 50W) in an empty room suggests the Seeker has bridged into your local circuit.
- Breaker Tripping: Frequent, inexplicable circuit breaker trips—specifically in the middle of the night—indicate the Seeker is initiating
SKR-INT-EFF-TRM-Hto isolate targets in darkness.
2. Micro Ivy Indicators (The "Invisibility Filter")
The Micro Ivy is nearly invisible to the naked eye, but it possesses distinct refractive properties.
- The Glint Test: Using a high-powered laser pointer or a strong tactical flashlight, sweep light across doorframes, window panes, and hallway ceilings. If you see a subtle, iridescent shimmer—like oil on water—that does not conform to the surface texture, you have found Micro Ivy tripwires.
- Dust Accumulation: Micro Ivy acts as a sticky web. If you see dust motes hovering in mid-air in a straight line or forming thin, taut strings across a hallway, do not break them. These are sensory tripwires.
3. Auditory & Behavioural Cues
- Silence: An infiltration cell creates a "dead zone." Crickets, household pets, and even standard environmental noise will cease. If a room suddenly becomes unnaturally silent, the Seeker’s auditory sensors have likely engaged a "null-input" mode.
- The "Click-Snap": A Hunter in cryptobiosis will occasionally shift its weight. Because their joints are highly dislocate-able, this movement sounds like a sharp, wet "click" or "snap" followed by a slow, heavy rustle, rather than the movement of a mammal.
- Acoustic Mimicry: If you hear the faint, slightly distorted voice of a family member or a child coming from an empty room—and the frequency sounds "metallic"—this is a Prolific or Seeker emitting a mimicry lure. Do not investigate.
4. Visual ID: The Hunter's Silhouette
If you are forced to, use a drone or remote camera to inspect a compromised room
- The "Lanky" Profile: The Hunter is disproportionately lanky and often appears "folded." Look for a mass that occupies less vertical space than its mass suggests.
- Missing Features: If the entity is visible, look for a head. A Hunter lacks functional eyes, ears, or a nose. If the "face" appears as a smooth, featureless surface, you are looking at a Hunter.
Tactical Checklist for Occupants:
| Symptom | Probability | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Unexplained breaker trips | High | Evacuate. Do not rely on light. |
| Shimmering/Refractive strings in doorways | Certain | Compromised. Do not move. |
| "Child" or "Family" voices in empty rooms | Certain | Mimicry lure. Run. |
| Soft, bear-like mass in basement | Dangerous | Assume Warden. Avoid. |
Final Protocol: If you encounter a Hunter, do not attempt to kill it. It is part of a larger network. Your only goal is to sever the electrical and biological tethers of the room and exit the structure before the Singularity can summon an Apex Vulture override.
