(Recorder clicks on. The sound of papers shifting, a slow exhale.)

MYLES: [00:00:00]

I am Dr. Harlan Myles, the lead researcher of Site 10 Research Division. Continuing post-incident report about Sector Bravo event on the Miller House case.

MYLES: [00:00:13]

I've reviewed all available field recordings. What I'm about to describe pertains specifically to the entity encountered by Echo Squad… the one we believe was formerly Father Nathaniel Miller.

(Short pause. Breathing in through nose.)

MYLES: [00:00:30]

Transformation begins around the upper thoracic cavity. You can hear it change before you see it, the sound of bones grinding, cartilage stretching and air passing through the torn vocal tissue.

Every movement it makes is accompanied by this… pulsing vibration, like the body is resonating from the inside.

MYLES: [00:00:55]

From what little video survived, its posture is completely unnatural. spine bowed backwards, ribcage expanding and collapsing like its struggling to remember how to breathe. One shoulder is visibly dislocated. The skin around the clavicle moves, like something underneath it is shifting on its own.

MYLES: [00:01:20]

Its eyes are bloodshot, the whites almost entirely replaced with dark branching veins. But there's… something else there. In the few frames we recovered, you can see the pupils dilating and contracting at different rates, as if the eyes themselves are following separate things.

(he exhales through his nose)

MYLES: [00:01:45]

When it speaks, the sound is layered. We isolated at least four separate vocal tones coming from the entity. Two male, one female, and a fourth that doesn't register as human.

It sits below the audible threshold, but it vibrates through every mic at once. Even after we muted the playback, the waveform continued generating data.

MYLES: [00:02:11]

Its first clear phrase is "Forgive me, Father." After that, the structure of the voice changes. The pitch begins to oscillate about 72 hertz to 190 in under a second, and the harmonics multiply, almost like a choir compressing into a single mouth.

MYLES: [00:02:36]

The scream that follows doesn't behave like normal sound. It carries something like an interference. Every time it peaks, it spikes the equipment and channels open on their own, the signals bleed across frequencies that aren't even powered. I've seen audio hallucinations before, memetic patterns, but this—This is different.

(paper shuffle; slight tremor in voice)

MYLES: [00:03:05]

At approximately eight minutes into the recording, the entity begins reciting passages or fragments from the bible Book of Revelation, though… distorted.

Its mouth never fully closes between phrases.

MYLES: [00:03:30]

Thermal readings suggest an internal temperature exceeding 120 degrees Celsius, yet the tissue doesn't burn. Blood on the surface coagulates instantly. We think that's why the light distorts around it. In the footage, shadows bend toward the body instead of away.

(pause; softer, almost to himself)

MYLES: [00:04:00]

The part that unsettles me the most isn't the violence. But It's the language everything it says is coherent. Intentional even.

It quotes scripture, yes, but… modified. Like something trying to speak through memory, piecing human faith together from scraps.

The last intelligible phrase occurs right after death of visual feed:

"The pit is open. Rise… rise from the pit."

We confirmed that no one in the command unit said it. It came from the same frequency Daniel's headset transmitted on, after the man was dead. Meaning… whatever was controlling Miller wasn't bound to the body.

(chair creaks, low sigh)

MYLES: [00:04:30]

Honestly, I don't think it can be killed in the conventional sense. What we saw wasn't an infection. It was… something like translation. Like something speaking through him.

I'm still waiting for reports from the ground team, for now end of report.

[00:04:40]
