Red Rift (Phenomenon-1031)
- Clearance Level: 3
- Classification: Interdimensional Breach — Potential Hazard
Description
Object-1031 appears to be a stainless steel ring with warped, anomalous features. The band is irregular, with protrusions resembling spinal vertebrae and skeletal hands cradling a red, gem-like structure. The object was discovered shortly after the resurgence of Red Rift activity, linking it directly to these events.
The ring demonstrates parasitic behavior. Attempts to remove Object-1031 from a host have proven ineffective; it reappears on the original host’s finger moments later. Witness accounts indicate auditory hallucinations and brief temporal disappearances during contact.
Discovery
Object-1031 was recovered in the aftermath of an incident near [REDACTED], following a police call about a distressed woman. CCTV footage from the intersection of [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] shows the subject fleeing in panic, vanishing for several seconds, then reappearing with fresh lacerations across her torso and face.
The subject amputated her own finger in a failed attempt to rid herself of Object-1031 before fleeing the scene. Responding officers recovered the ring and alerted the Global Hazard Oversight and Supernatural Threat Negation. Burn marks and particulate traces of unknown red matter were present in the area, consistent with prior Rift signatures.
Anomalous Behavior
Recent Rift events have deviated significantly from prior patterns. Previously, rifts appeared in areas saturated with negative emotional energy. Current manifestations appear to generate negative energy upon arrival.
Entities observed escaping from these rifts manifest as beams of crimson light. Their behavior suggests desperation, as if fleeing something beyond the rifts themselves. These lights attach themselves to nearby matter—humans, animals, or objects—in order to persist in this reality.
Living hosts: No consistent physiological changes have been recorded, though long-term studies are ongoing.
Inanimate hosts: Structural alterations often occur, including the growth of crystalline, gem-like protrusions resembling garnets.
Garnets are culturally associated with love, protection, and friendship. This symbolism may be coincidental—or an intentional choice by the entities themselves.
Connection to Object-1031
Object-1031 is believed to be the result of one such entity fusing with a fragment of Soul Metal. The fusion disrupted the alloy’s stability, resulting in the warped, vertebrae-like form and the formation of the red gem centerpiece.
The gem emits faint, rhythmic pulses detectable only with specialized GHOSTN equipment. Frequency analysis indicates an irregular pattern, possibly a form of communication. Research is ongoing.
Addendum 1031-A
While Object-1031 is unique in its form, it may represent only the first of several potential hybrid anomalies resulting from Rift-beings merging with unstable or anomalous matter. The apparent need for these beings to anchor themselves raises troubling implications about what lies beyond the rifts.
Whether these lights are refugees, invaders, or something else entirely remains unknown. Their sudden arrival, rapid devastation, and equally sudden disappearance mirror the most frightening aspects of prior high-scale anomalies (see: Sun Anomaly — File SA-01-2007).
Until further data is collected, Object-1031 is to be contained in a reinforced observation chamber, with all research staff rotated weekly to prevent long-term exposure.
