hey did you see the new section assignments for friday? shaw moved me to your spot and stuck you in the back. what did you do lol

K. ILLARD — YOU 2026.07.09 — 6:31 PM

no idea. he didn't say anything to me about it. just saw it on the board. back corridor cleaning is literally just me by myself after 8?? that's kind of a weird assignment

D. MERCER 2026.07.09 — 6:45 PM

yeah that's weird. voss is usually back there after close. maybe just ask him about it when you get in friday

K. ILLARD — YOU 2026.07.11 — 9:47 PM

hey you still up? something is really off tonight. voss isn't back here, nobody is. i submitted a maintenance request because one of the units was making noise from the server room hallway but it was supposed to be powered down. i'm just going to finish and leave

D. MERCER 2026.07.11 — 10:02 PM

which unit? don't go near it, just leave it for cole. glad you're almost done, that section freaks me out after dark

K. ILLARD — YOU 2026.07.11 — 10:09 PM

i couldn't tell which one. it sounded like it was coming from behind the wall panel near the server room door. the light in that hallway was off too, i had to use my phone. i already filed the request. clocking out now

D. MERCER 2026.07.11 — 10:14 PM

ok good. get home safe. see you saturday

K. ILLARD — YOU 2026.07.12 — 11:22 AM

hey did you hear what happened last night? voss got suspended. shaw won't tell anyone why. are you coming in today?

D. MERCER 2026.07.12 — 12:08 PM

yeah i heard. i'll be in for my shift. i think it's better to just not ask questions about it

K. ILLARD — YOU 2026.07.13 — 9:55 AM

you never showed yesterday. you okay?

D. MERCER 2026.07.13 — 10:31 AM

sorry something came up. i'll catch up with you soon

hey katie, you still on closing tonight?

K. ILLARD — YOU 2026.08.02 — 5:58 PM

yeah, why?

R. COLE 2026.08.02 — 6:03 PM

nothing serious. just this place gets kind of strange late. you know how it is

K. ILLARD — YOU 2026.08.02 — 6:07 PM

strange how? like what kind of strange

R. COLE 2026.08.02 — 6:19 PM

cameras glitching. doors locking by themselves. signal drops out for no reason, usually sometime after 10. been happening for a few months now. management knows but nobody's talking about it

K. ILLARD — YOU 2026.08.02 — 6:22 PM

that's a maintenance issue right? just needs someone to look at the systems

R. COLE 2026.08.02 — 6:31 PM

we looked at it. three times. no fault in any of the hardware we could find. last time someone tried a full system restart to fix it, four archive files just disappeared. completely gone

K. ILLARD — YOU 2026.08.02 — 6:34 PM

maybe just a software bug? could be a corrupted update or something

R. COLE 2026.08.02 — 6:44 PM

voss said the same thing. then he stopped responding. that was about two weeks ago

K. ILLARD — YOU 2026.08.02 — 6:46 PM

what should i do if it starts acting up tonight

R. COLE 2026.08.02 — 6:52 PM

do not restart anything. just keep the console open and watch the logs. you'll recognize it when it happens

K. ILLARD — YOU 2026.08.02 — 6:55 PM

recognize what exactly? cole what are you not telling me

R. COLE 2026.08.02 — 7:01 PM

i think something is using the system. not a bug. something deliberate. just watch the logs and do

A. KEEP 2027.03.01 — 11:42 PM

katie. i know you don't know who i am. that's intentional. i've been watching this system for a while and i need you to listen carefully.

K. ILLARD — YOU 2027.03.01 — 11:49 PM

who are you? how did you get into this system?

A. KEEP 2027.03.01 — 11:51 PM

the same way anyone gets in. i looked until i found a door they forgot to close. meka has a lot of those.

K. ILLARD — YOU 2027.03.01 — 11:53 PM

what do you want

A. KEEP 2027.03.01 — 11:55 PM

i want you to get out of that building. tonight. don't finish your shift. don't clock out. just leave.

K. ILLARD — YOU 2027.03.01 — 11:57 PM

why would i do that? i'll lose my job

A. KEEP 2027.03.02 — 12:01 AM

the units in that facility have been active every night for the last three weeks. not scheduled active. the other kind. something changed after the last system restart and i don't think meka knows what it changed into.

K. ILLARD — YOU 2027.03.02 — 12:04 AM

how do you know this

A. KEEP 2027.03.02 — 12:05 AM

because i've been pulling logs from this system for months and what's in them doesn't match what meka is telling anyone. there's a gap between what they recorded and what actually happened. someone filled that gap with something and i don't know what.

K. ILLARD — YOU 2027.03.02 — 12:08 AM

i can hear something in the arcade right now

A. KEEP 2027.03.02 — 12:08 AM

leave now. do not go toward it. go out the front and don't look back.

MR-0094 PENDING

2026.07.11 — 10:06 PM // BACK CORRIDOR / SERVER ROOM HALLWAY

Was assigned to clean the back corridor tonight. Around 9:45 I heard sounds coming from behind the wall panel near the server room door — like movement, or maybe something mechanical cycling. The hallway light was also out. I couldn't tell which unit it was and I didn't open anything. The area was listed as clear for the evening. Voss was not present. Submitting so engineering is aware.

No response on file. Ticket status: open.
