Type: Living Atmospheric Anomaly / Cosmic Predator
Also Known As: The Veil, The Breath of God
Habitat: Exclusive to Harbor View; manifests across streets, shorelines, and the perimeter of town between nightfall and 5:00 AM
Designation: RA#0002

 

Overview

 

The Fog is not weather. It is no accident of nature. It is a structural element of Harbor View’s reality—an ancient, self-correcting mechanism woven into the town’s very design.

When it descends, it brings with it an unnatural stillness and an intelligence that enforces the town’s boundaries. Those who enter are not killed; they are removed. By morning, the world reorders itself, and all memory of their existence is gone.

 

Behavior

 

The Fog exhibits no aggression, only purpose. It encircles, consumes, and erases. Its presence signals an imbalance in Harbor View’s constructed order, activating to restore equilibrium.

• Erasure Instead of Death: Victims are deleted from continuity rather than killed. Only individuals who have crossed between realities retain any awareness of their absence.

• Encirclement Over Pursuit: The anomaly never chases. It arrives silently, enclosing its target until movement or thought becomes meaningless.

• Auditory Distortion: Within the mist, all sound collapses. Radios hum, voices loop, and communication fails entirely.

• Sentient Observation: Witnesses report the sensation of being watched from every direction simultaneously. The Fog studies before it acts, as if deciding whether removal is necessary.

 

Significance in Ongoing Investigation

 

HVARO records indicate The Fog operates as a regulatory force within the Harbor View system—an environmental failsafe maintaining spatial and psychological containment.
Recovered transmissions describe it as a “cosmic immune response”, erasing variables that threaten the illusion of stability.

Its selective manifestations consistently follow acts of discovery or rebellion, implying that it responds to awareness itself.

 

Themes and Symbolism

 

The Fog represents erasure through control—a force that preserves comfort and order by destroying truth.
It embodies collective denial, rewriting history to maintain peace. It is not a monster to be fought, but the world’s own hand correcting what should never have been seen.

 

Status: Active

 

Threat Level: Class IV – Cognitive / Spatial Hazard
Recommended Action:
Avoid exposure. If visibility drops below five meters and sound distortion begins, retreat immediately indoors. Do not attempt rescue of those lost within the anomaly.
