WTF Area

WTF Area is a "self-keeping secret" or "anti-meme". Information about WTF Area's physical appearance as well as its nature, behavior, and origins is self-classifying. To clarify:


 * How Super Area originally acquired WTF Area is unknown.


 * When WTF Area was obtained, and by whom, is unknown.


 * WTF Area's physical appearance is unknown. It is not indescribable, or invisible: individuals are perfectly capable of entering WTF Area's container and observing it, taking mental or written notes, making sketches, taking photographs, and even making audio/video recordings. An extensive log of such observations is on file. However, information about WTF Area's physical appearance "leaks" out of a human mind soon after such an observation. Individuals tasked with describing WTF Area afterwards find their minds wandering and lose interest in the task; individuals tasked with sketching a copy of a photograph of WTF Area are unable to remember what the photograph looks like, as are researchers overseeing these tests. Security personnel who have observed WTF Area via closed-circuit television cameras emerge after a full shift exhausted and effectively amnesiac about the events of the previous hours.


 * Who authorized the construction of WTF Area's containment room, why it was constructed in this way, or what the purpose of the described Containment Procedures may be, are all unknown.


 * Despite WTF Area's container being easily accessible, all personnel at Site 19 claim no knowledge of WTF Area's existence when challenged.

All of these facts are periodically rediscovered, usually by chance readers of this file, causing a great deal of alarm. This state of concern lasts minutes at most, before the matter is simply forgotten about.

A great deal of scientific data has been recorded from WTF Area, but cannot be studied.

At least one attempt has been made to destroy WTF Area, or possibly move it from containment at Super Area to another area, meeting failure for reasons unknown.

WTF Area may present a major physical threat and indeed may have killed many hundreds of personnel, and we would not know it. Certainly it presents a gigantic memetic/mental threat, hence its Keter classification.
