PROJECT WRAITH - Kael Mercer

SUBJECT FILE PROJECT WRAITH Designation: Subject W-01 Original Identity: Senior Security Officer Kael Mercer Current Status: Active Containment Threat Classification: DELTA–OMEGA (Variable) Former Position: EREBUS Rapid Response Security Division Codename: WRAITH Clearance Before Exposure: Level IV Current Clearance: None Containment Wing: High-Risk Sector Δ There were countless containment breaches before the Incident. Some resulted in casualties. Others in structural damage. None had ever resulted in the creation of a new Subject. Until Security Incident Δ-17. Senior Security Officer Kael Mercer was one of Facility EREBUS’s most respected containment specialists. Calm under pressure and fiercely protective of his team, he had survived encounters with anomalies that had claimed the lives of dozens of others. He believed every creature housed within EREBUS could be understood, contained, and, if necessary, stopped. That certainty died the day Containment Chamber Δ-17 ruptured. The experiment inside had never been given a proper species classification. It existed as a volatile, semi-corporeal energy entity recovered from beneath an abandoned temple. The research team referred to it only as Anomaly Δ-17. When the containment field collapsed, Kael entered first to evacuate the researchers. Body camera footage recovered from the chamber shows a brilliant blue entity emerging from the fractured containment vessel. Rather than attacking him conventionally, it dissolved into streams of incandescent energy and forced itself directly into his chest. The recording ends with Kael screaming as light erupted beneath his skin. Medical teams pronounced him dead eleven minutes later. Thirty-six minutes afterward... His heart began beating again.
