Where Does the Fog Come From? A Gandalf Investigation

STAFF NOTE — SECTOR 3 ATMOSPHERIC ANOMALY For the record: the facility does not own a fog machine in Sector 3. We want to be very clear about this, because chat continues to insist that we do. THE PATTERN On cold mornings, fog gathers near the roost of CN-003 ("Gandalf"). It does not gather anywhere else. It does not behave like normal fog. On three documented occasions, it appeared to move against the wind. Gandalf does not acknowledge the fog. He simply sits within it, occasionally rotating, occasionally synchronizing his breathing with nearby chickens who did not agree to synchronize. WHAT THE OBSERVERS SAY "We stopped trying to explain it," said one senior coherence observer. "You watch the fog long enough and the fog starts watching you. That's when you clock out." At 04:13 last Tuesday, multiple chickens entered synchronized silence for 11 seconds. The fog thickened. Then it was morning, and everyone pretended it was fine. CONTAINMENT STATUS: UNDER OBSERVATION. Potential memetic hazard. Do not stare at the spiral. The spiral remembers.
