Contract: Retrieval – Ornate Door Status: Resolved (with Loss)

Assets were introduced via controlled access point embedded in an active commercial district. Entry conditions functioned as expected. Egress was restricted immediately upon engagement.

Progression required sequential navigation of three internal environments exhibiting non-linear spatial logic and punitive response to inactivity. One asset was lost during the first phase following failure to engage with the space. Remains unrecoverable.

A secondary asset previously deployed independently was encountered during phase two. Integration proceeded without objection. Remaining objectives were completed without further loss.

Primary retrieval successful.

Notes:

Internal environments respond to attention, motion, and intent.

Passive behavior increases risk exponentially.

Structural design favors substitution over preservation.

Recommend future deployments assume attrition.

Inventory:

One recovered component, removed from mounting. Catalogued separately.

※ Retrieved object functioned as both control interface and exit condition. ※ Removal caused immediate system collapse. This appears intentional. ※ Object is inert when separated, but resists conventional appraisal. ※ Not to be handled idly. Not to be displayed assembled.
