SUMMARY:

Recently there have been some alarming changes in behavior and altered effect in two Altered Items in the Panopticon. The [REDACTED] and the [REDACTED] have become much more aggressive, with entirely new effects manifesting for no discernible reason.

The items have been investigated for updated containment procedures to counter these new effects with one successfully discovered to be contained by constant visual contact, but this development is worrying. What if all the Altered Items undergo this behavioral change? We need to find out why this is happening, what is changing.

Handling these Altered Items has also resulted in numerous Panopticon staff being [REDACTED]. I would say they've gone to the Astral Plane, but these aren't Objects of Power. Not one of them has come back. This, plus the uptick in Astralnauts not returning from their dives has me wondering what the hell is going on. Is anyone looking into this? Is there any plan?
