Status: [INTERMITTENT // INTERFERENCE-LADEN // OBJECTIVE LOST]

“You are not supposed to remember, but the Zone remembers you.”

They say the Phantom Band transmits between 2:13–2:27 AM local, only on rusted FM dials scavenged from pre-collapse vehicles. What it broadcasts changes based on who is listening.

In the Liminal Zones, the concrete eats memory. You forget what gear you packed. You forget your handler’s face.

🔹 OBSERVATION: SUBJECT “NODE-21 // ALIAS: STATIC-ECHO”

• Former sysadmin turned rogue operator. Last ping: [🔻GHOSTNET/SECTOR-D].
• Uploads corrupted fragments of himself into .flac loops.
• Wanders the Zone dragging an antenna cart and a solar CRT TV tuned to static.

🔹 KNOWN LOCATIONS:

• /OBSOLETE-INFONODES/ → Leak glitched news articles from 1998–2002.
• /TUNNEL-122-ALPHA/ → Graffiti: "SHE KNOWS. SHE WAITS."

🔹 ENEMY CLASS: HANDLERS

They're not real people. Not anymore. The Zone births them when you're too lucid.

• Mimic concern.
• Assign meaningless missions.
• Glitch when questioned.

📡 GHOST PROTOCOL: ZONEKIT FM

• Boot terminal with /phantom.sh
• Transmit heartbeat as audio (via mic input)
• Never open the logs twice. Each version changes you.
