Classification
The anomalies are classified based on threat, containment difficulty, intelligence and their type
threat (how dangerous it is?)
0 - no threat
1 - non lethal threat
2 - minimal threat
3 - small threat
4 - moderate threat
5 - serious threat
6 - high threat
7 - Very high threat
An example of how classification should look like 22H0-M
Containment Difficulty (how difficult it is to secure/eliminate it?)
1 - no struggle
2 - minimal
3 - small
4 - moderate
5 - difficult
6 - very difficult
7 - near impossible
intelligence (how smart it is?)
N - no intelligence
S - simple intelligence
A - animal intelligence
AA - advanced animal intelligence
H0 - sub human intelligence
H1 - almost human intelligence
H2 - human intelligence
H3 - above human intelligence
anomaly type (what is this?)
H - humanoid
C - creature
O - object
P - place
EV - Event
M - Mental
E - Environmental
NE - non euclidean
MX - mixed
OT - other
Additional information for agents
if the anomaly has overlapping characteristics an anomaly type should be defined by its most dominant characteristics, if it's not possible use -MX but try to avoid it as much as possible.
This list includes few example anomalies present in Davetown
ANOMALY 1 - Gray suit man
Anomaly classification: 55H1-H
DESCRIPTION
Gray suit man is the most notable and the most appearing anomaly in Davetown often stalking or hunting Daniel Mike and Dave
to the point where it became most iconic anomaly ever. It has been confirmed there is only one gray suit man in whole Davetown
. His appearance is gray-skinned tall humanoid standing 2.1 meters, with no face and wearing light gray suit with a tophat of same color. It has been confirmed there is only one Gray Suit Man in whole Davetown
DISCOVERY
First it has been discovered by Daniel Mike and Dave somewhere in 2023 when those people worked at gas station on Davetown Highway, Mike seen some weird tall figure standing inside the forest, then he felt huge urge to keep coming closer to it, but has been stopped by passing car's headlights. It has been reported they seen this anomaly few more times and it kept returning
BEHAVIOR
Gray Suit Man seems like an intelligent being able to think strategically and silently stalk a prey waiting for a right moment to attack, for example being alone or in isolated area, if an victim(s) are together and in safe area the Gray Suit Man will attempt to hypnotize the victims if they stare at him for too long, hypnosis leads victims to being totally unable to turn around and makes them walk towards Gray Suit man. It can be avoided easily since hypnosis takes full effect after around 7 seconds of exposure. He is oftem spotted roaming nearby forests and very rarely visiting Davetown Park, the frequency of roaming between these two locations haven't been well documented yet. While chasing an enemy he is slightly slower than fastest runner in the world with measured speed of 40 km/h
CLASSIFICATION ANALYSIS
Threat: 5 - Because the attack despite being mostly deadly can be somewhat avoided by staying in well lit and well known places or in group, still it poses an threat since it doesn't guarantee complete safety
Containment Difficulty: 5 because it constantly avoids being captured by staying in forest and strategically planning when and where to attack. His good ability to escape and calculate situation make him difficult, however it becomes more possible with more expensive resources and more coordinated and bigger team, but still it's not piece of cake
Intelligence: H1 - Because it shows deeper motives than just mindless killing like an animal and it can understand human actions and emotions, but it lacks evidence of deeper reasoning like communication to be classified as human intelligence
Anomaly classification: H - because it is clearly an humanoid
D.A.I.T Logs
A01-CAPTURE-ATTEMPT-#01
EARLY PHASE: An attempt to capture the anomaly has been launched by Davetown Anomaly Investigation team at 2nd october 2023 in northern part of Davetown Forest. The action has been taken by 6 D.A.I.T operatives, Davetown Anomaly Extermination Team (DAET) refused to take direct action but supported D.A.I.T forces with intel from aerial drones. Operatives equipped with submachine guns, revolvers and strong flashlights entered forest at exactly 22:31 and quickly spread into two teams. First team called "WING1" consisting of 3 operatives headed west while second team "WING2"consisting of 3 operatives went to eastern part of northern Davetown forest. The Goal was to split and search the whole northern part of forest where ANOMALY-01 shelter has been reported by tourists, but the location is unknown. The Part 3 was planned but it has been cancalled due to failure of operation at part 2. In part 3 D.A.I.T operatives were meant to move south in case ANOMALY-01 or its shelter won't be spotted in northern part of a forest
DURING THE OPERATION: The first part went smoothly, both teams entered forest and at first they seen no signs of any anomalous activity. An leader of this operation ordered to start part 2 at 22:46 and all operatives quickly split away while still communicating through walkie talkies. WING2 successfully completed their operation by reaching river then waiting for WING1 at the lake. However one WING2 operative has been ordered to wait in the easternmost scout point to keep an eye at later used evacuation point and in case of evacuation simply join in, this operative did not report anything anomalous during around 20 minutes of waiting except very loud scratching the trees but it could be an animal. One of the operatives used handheld flare to make them more visible and help WING1 operatives to find a way in case they get lost. Despite good communication and good equipment one of the operatives who was in westernmost part of a fortest went missing, before that a loud gunshots could be heard probably from his gun. When another WING1 operative came to check what's happening he seen nothing but blood and submachine gun on the ground. A bodycam which recorded last moments of an fallen operative showed something quite tall and fast moving in the bushes, when an operative rose a gun and fired few shots, the signal cut off probably because the camera has been damaged. Last frame shows a gray hand holding something, most likely an operative has been hit in the head where also the bodycam has been mounted. A decision has been made to make WING1 expedition shorter. one of WING1 operatives reported seeing ANOMALY-01 but it got away when both WING1 operatives met half-way to the lake, Anomaly detected presence of another operative and seen attack as risky so it backed off.
AFTERMATH: a body of dead operative has never been found despite intense drone search, all remaining 5 operatives followed a river and escaped the forest successfully. An operation wasn't a failure but it wasn't a win. We learned a lot about behavior of this anomaly and how it hunts, something similar to simple shelter made out of leaves, net and wood has been spotted but it is unknown if it's shelter of an anomaly. Next expeditions will only take place in groups without splitting away to single operatives.
CONTAINMENT
as for now all out of 3 containment attempts of "Gray Suit Man" were unsuccessful because D.A.I.T operatives were underequipped and often the agility of anomaly was problematic especially in the forest.
First Attempt was documented above
Second Attempt took place in 12th march 2024 was small team consisting of 3 D.A.I.T operatives which were responding to an incident where trail cam recorded something similar to "Gray Suit Man" the lack of necessary equipment and more operatives was caused by misidentifying the anomaly.
Third attempt was in 8th october 2024 and was also unsuccessful due to sudden quad engine failure
No other attempt is planned due to forest where he resides being under protection of D.A.E.T

ANOMALY 2: INTRUDER
Anomaly classification: 43H0-C
DESCRIPTION
An intruder is an creature walking on 4 legs mostly ecountered at night and it is quite difficult to find it due to its dark skin color and usually fast movements. Intruder is never seen hunting during the day. Besides his dark skin you can notice he has long spiky claws/fingers which fit perfectly into door lock, if he does he will attempt to lockpick the door to open it, if it fails he will proceed to try windows next, last resort is chimney but usually Intruders are bad climbers, as long as there's no ladder or tree near your house you should be fine. Intruder is capable of understanding how the ladder works and he shows sings of advanced intelligence classifying his intelligence as sub human but very close to becoming advanced animal intelligence. it has been confirmed there's at least more than 5 intruders on loose in Davetown and 2 captured
DISCOVERY
The Intruder has been officially discovered at 14th april 2023 but his sightings before the founding of D.A.I.T. started in 2006. He has been discovered when resident of an house on the outskirts of Davetown heard someone tampering with door lock. When resident opened the door while holding a phone to take a picture and a knife he spotted skinny figure with long and spiky fingers, the intruder launched at resident but an entity got hurt by the knife and ran off. D.A.I.T. secured all pictures
BEHAVIOR
As briefly explained in DISCOVERY section, the Intruder tries to get into houses usually the night using his long thin fingers to lockpick the door, if he fails he will proceed to try to get through window. He can use any object to smash the window , he can be stopped using very loud noises like gunshots or very loud music. If you confront him in person he will most likely attack, it is recommended to keep a distance due to his previously mentioned long thin and of course sharp fingers, however length of them might cause Intruder to be a little clumsy so use it in your advantage during the fight
CLASSIFICATION ANALYSIS
Threat: 4 - despite Intruder's intellect and his ability to adapt and lockpick doors, directly he is not very dangerous, his fingers are his strong and weak point, they can easily go through an tissue but they make his movement clumsy and sometimes slow. Average human male with a knife has decent chance to come out alive
Continment difficulty: 3 - he is easy to hunt down due to low maximum speed (27km/h) and obvious pattern of hunting. However it might be a problem to find him inside the forest during the night without NV equipment due to his dark skin
intelligence: H0 - he can easily adapt, has ability to use human objects and knows how to lockpick, but does not seem to have any deeper understanding or societal behavior but also he's smarter than advanced animal intelligence.
anomaly type: C - does not resemble humanoid, very close to average creature type
D.A.I.T. LOGS
Currently there are no avaiable D.A.I.T. logs
CONTAINMENT
currently 2 containment attempts were made, both successful. Here are the descriptions of them. there are no more planned containments due to current low danger
19th april 2023 - Davetown Suburbs, house no. 3A, owner of the house locked the Intruder in the basement by barricading the entrance with furniture. D.A.I.T. operatives used tranq gun which almost instantly started working, containment successful
24th april 2024 - Davetown Suburbs, house no. 1E near the entrance to the forest, security camera caught the Intruder while he tried to lockpick the door. D.A.I.T. team arrived on time to capture him with tranq gun again, containment successful
from now on the frequency of attacks of Intruders have been reduced
