Designation: CSD #01
Sector: 4
Codename: BLACKFALL
Power Class: DETERENT
Status: Active Containment

OBSERVATION SUMMARY
CSD #01 is a parasitic anomaly that infects living hosts through direct contact with contaminated organic or liquid matter.
The entity utilizes a low-frequency auditory "Hum" to override human brain signals, compelling nearby personnel to bypass safety protocols and initiate physical contact. Upon infection, the entity initiates a full systemic takeover, replacing biological function with an unidentified black substrate.
Hosts remain mobile and highly aggressive throughout early and mid-stage progression. In its final stage, the host loses all structure and collapses into a viscous black fluid. This substance remains reactive to movement for a limited window before becoming inert.
\\---
CONTAINMENT DIRECTIVE
All suspected hosts are to be isolated immediately within Sector 4 acoustic-dampened units.
Direct physical contact with infected material or the anomaly is strictly prohibited. Only personnel with Sector 4 clearance and proper auditory dampening may approach the containment zone.
The specialized camera array must remain active 24/7. Any glitch in the feed requires an immediate lockdown of the Sector 4 Wing.
Void Soldier Standard Gear Requirements:
\\\* Full-seal hazmat mask (Integrated noise-cancelling filters)
\\\* Blue hazmat suit (Inner layer)
\\\* Blue tactical armor (Outer layer)
\\\* Tactical helmet and bulletproof vest
\\\* Reinforced gloves (Double-layered)

PROGRESSION LOG
Stage 1 – Exposure
Infection occurs via skin contact. Black vein-like structures erupt from the point of touch. Subjects report internal pressure and a "pull" toward the anomaly.
Stage 2 – Override
Extreme aggression toward non-infected humans. Loss of coherent speech. Skin pigmentation darkens to 100% light-absorbent matte black.
Stage 3 – Conversion
Facial features (eyes, nose, mouth) flatten and vanish. Internal organs shut down and liquefy. Host displays unnatural strength and speed.
Stage 4 – Collapse
Full liquefaction into a black fluid mass. The host ceases to be humanoid. The fluid reacts violently to nearby motion or vibration.
Stage 5 – Inert State
Fluid becomes fully non-reactive. No further spread or movement observed. Substance remains stable and is safe to be cleaned.

D-PROTOCOL (DESTROY)
Eligibility:
Authorized immediately upon Stage 3 confirmation or if a containment breach is detected by the Void Soldiers.
Method:
Targeted high-heat incineration of active hosts. If the "Blackfall" substrate escapes the primary vault, the airlock must be permanently sealed and the chamber flooded with thermal agents.

FIELD NOTES
“The hum doesn't sound like music. It sounds like a command you forgot you had to follow.”
“Once the veins hit the neck, there's no person left in there. Just the substrate.”
