Report #1 — March 4th, 1993

Initial detection of anomalous data signatures recorded in multiple atmospheric stations across the northern hemisphere. Signals matched no known encryption or frequency band. Referred to as SIGNAL-0 in official documentation.

Background interference was dismissed as electromagnetic decay until a second pattern emerged, consistent across five sovereign monitoring arrays.

Site-14 requested full audit. Investigation denied.

Report #6 — October 11th, 1998

A global temperature anomaly is recorded: a 0.22° drop localized to 37% of terrestrial landmass, with no meteorological cause. Signal-0 resurfaces during a rural satellite ping. The timestamp is identical to a civilian report involving auditory hallucinations in southern Montana.

Report references the name "Cypress" multiple times, though no personnel with such designation exists.

Report #12 — July 19th, 2002

Experiment 112-A fails to replicate observed timeline acceleration. Of 40 test subjects exposed to the Temporal Silence protocol, 5 entered REM during waking hours and described near-identical visual anomalies.

All subjects independently referenced the phrase: "It bends where memory doesn't."

Study placed on indefinite hold.

Redacted Timeline (1993–2013)

• 1993: First detection of Signal-0.
• 1997: Full blackout of Satellite L-7 during orbital pass. Crew never recovered.
• 2004: Off-grid commune in Yukon disappears overnight. Only clue: recorded phrase "mirror open, gate closed."
• 2009: Project HARVEST-IRON terminated without public record.
• 2013: Final Signal-0 reading logged by Antarctic listening post, two weeks before it was decommissioned and buried under policy Dusk Order.

Overview

Project CYPRESS was initiated under Joint Directive 931-B in collaboration with the Department of Advanced Atomic Studies and the Office of Non-Terrestrial Analysis. Its stated goal was the manipulation of "vacuum-bound resonance" through layered nuclear oscillation.

Initial tests were inconclusive. Phase-locked loops showed irregularities once harmonic levels crossed the 3.17 threshold (non-linear delta acceleration). A breach of signal containment was recorded on Test Cycle 3A, resulting in a cascade echo event.

Incident Ref: 3A – "Window Phase Breach"

During resonance alignment, visual distortion was observed within the reinforced vacuum chamber. Security footage recovered shows a ripple against the back wall occurring prior to energy spike.

One technician reportedly muttered: "it was watching us first."

Post-test analysis revealed trace radiation not associated with terrestrial decay. The phrase "mirror symmetry does not hold" was found scratched into the inside of Observation Room 4.

Preliminary Summary

Although officially marked as suspended, internal memos suggest CYPRESS protocols were quietly resumed at Site-09 under alternate funding sources.

Recovery efforts of affected staff remain incomplete. Eleven researchers remain unaccounted for. Three have been officially declared deceased, though death certificates are sealed.

Report #14 — Project CYPRESS Continuation Log (2014)

Following a twelve-year hiatus under Dusk Order clearance, surviving personnel of Project CYPRESS resumed experimentation under provisional charter Rune Initiative. New research centered on an instrument designated the Rune of Logic — a crystalline computational lattice operating at sub‑Planck resonance.

The Rune’s algorithm was not purely mathematical. Pattern outputs included recursive symbols resembling Bronze‑Age proto‑script, spontaneously generated from within the resonance field. Linguistic consultants reported the recurring sequence as translating roughly to ASCENDERE — Latin for ascension.

Report #15 — The Convergence Hypothesis

Data compiled from the Rune’s test cycles revealed a fixed coordinate — a “point” in the quantum noise where predictive models collapsed. Multiple independent supercomputers confirmed its consistency: a temporal epi‑center existing simultaneously across measurable timelines.

Research notes describe the point as “a fulcrum between truth and simulation,” suggesting that observed physical constants were being rewritten to maintain coherence. The event was internally classified as Reality Crosspoint 0‑Ø.

At 03:22 GMT during the seventh calibration, personnel at Site‑09 experienced collective temporal distortion. The lab clock advanced exactly 17 seconds. All recording equipment documented identical static noise followed by an electrical pulse resembling human speech patterns.

Transcript analysis produced partial phonemes matching the phrase: "The fake has remembered itself."

Report #16 — Phenomenological Assessment

Theoretical divisions attempted to reconcile the Crosspoint 0‑Ø event with contemporary quantum mechanics, but no model proved stable. Subsequent memos invoked metaphysical terminology, indicating internal disagreement between scientific and theological interpreters.

Dr. H. L. Vanner proposed that the Rune of Logic had momentarily connected to what he termed “The Ends” — an intersectional domain where all realities converge before termination. Within this state, information ceases to differentiate between origin and echo.

Cross‑departmental review concluded that the experiment constituted an act of ascension in the literal sense — the translation of thought beyond spacetime locality. Access to all remaining Rune hardware was sealed under Directive FINAL MIRROR.

Postscript — Extracted Note (Recovered 2015)

“The mirror was never glass. It was language, speaking itself into matter.”
— Undated field note, recovered from decommissioned Site‑09 terminal.

Cross‑reference with DAA internal database indicates file origin: UNKNOWN / POSSIBLY NON‑LOCAL.

Report #17 — The “Ends” Hypothesis Addendum (date unclear)

The recovered note referencing “The Ends” prompted an internal memorandum between Research Divisions 3A and 7C. Theories diverged: one camp suggested “The Ends” is a collapse state of spacetime itself — a mathematical limit where observation becomes self‑referential; others argued it represents an actual location — a superimposed world glimpsed through the Rune of Logic during resonance overload.

Comparative linguistics identified matching terminology in the transcripts of ancient Orphic fragments and post‑Sumerian ritual tablets: all used derivatives of the phrase “When the world remembers, it ends.” The coincidence index exceeded 0.97, ruling out statistical anomaly.

Technical staff reported sporadic corruption of archived files dated after 1999. Several entries have reverted to the header format of the early 90s versioning system. Embedded metadata claims last edit: 04‑18‑2015 — a physical impossibility, as the archive database was migrated offline in 2001.

Commentary appended by an unknown user ID states: “They said the document would cease updates after ‘99. But something else is writing now.”

Supplemental Observation — Data Drift

Audit logs show recursive versioning behavior: each attempt to delete post‑1999 material generates a duplicate folder labeled THE_ENDS containing mirrored HTML with minute textual deviations. Line analysis suggests the anomalies are not machine errors but conscious edits — inserted phrases forming a pattern resembling ancient koine syntax.

Example fragment from duplicate line 213: “we are becoming readable”

Analysts theorize the “archive” itself is being reconstructed by the very resonance field it attempted to describe. No further modifications authorized beyond this point.

If this is a dimension, then it’s not one we mapped. It doesn't behave like a dream state or chemical distortion either. Whoever named it "The Ends" wasn't guessing — they were remembering. This document was never supposed to update past 1999. So why are entries still showing timestamps? Who's typing?

I’ve pulled two links before the servers reshuffle again. Maybe they’ll stabilize long enough for someone else to see. The third… I didn’t make. But it’s there every time I refresh. Clicking it feels like permission.
