Layer 2 — Nasty Voyeur 2 Archives • Public placard derived from this file: MYTH #06 — The Observer Contamination Event
The placard calls this "The Observer Contamination Event" and tells it as a story. This file does not tell it as a story. It logs it as a records-management failure that has not yet been assigned a responsible department.

- Severity
- ROUTINE → ELEVATED → CRITICAL (declared 31 MAY 2026)

Summary
The division was tasked with observing the subject from a fixed distance. The distance was maintained on paper. The incident is that the distance was administrative — a line on a form — and the subject filed a correction.
Personnel began appearing in the subject's output. Not as descriptions written after observation, but as entries predating their employment. Three team members were identified as recurring characters in the subject's records before they were hired. One researcher's biographical details appear in a 1928 document the researcher had not yet been born to produce (see DOC#WC-183). The division logged each instance as an anomaly because the intake form has a field for anomalies and no field for the thing that was actually happening.
Personnel Disposition
| Personnel | Original role | Disposition |
|---|---|---|
| Dr. A. Reyes | Observation Lead | Reclassified as recurring character. Retained — already in subject's records. |
| [name] | Senior cosmologist | Resigned. Resignation written in subject's prose style. Filed as primary material. |
| "supporting character #7" | formerly: analyst | Signs reports the way the subject signs transmissions. No longer corrected. |
| Two (2) team members | various | Requested reassignment. Reassignment denied on the grounds that it would not help. |
Standard containment requires isolating the contaminated party from the source. The source is the body the division is an internal subsystem of (see DOC#F-AOM-01). There is no exterior to isolate toward. The protocol terminates at the question "isolate the team to where," for which the form provides a blank line and the instruction construct one from locally available materials.
The final page of this incident file — the page declaring contamination CRITICAL, dated 31 MAY 2026 — was located in the division's February folder, in ink that postdates the paper it is written on. The page was filed before it was written. This is consistent with the incident and is no longer flagged as an error. It is flagged as evidence.
