UN-269 ENCOUNTER LOG - 2026/03/16 The following transcript was recovered from a corrupted Scratch project file. User designation: [REDACTED]. [BEGIN LOG] [The screen displays a blank Scratch project. Default Scratch cat sprite stands alone on the stage. User cursor moves erratically before clicking the "Sprite Editor" tab.] [The editor window opens. The Scratch cat is visible. The cursor hovers over the sprite's eye region.] [For severe seconds, nothing.] [The Scratch cat's eyes slowly shift. They lock onto the cursor position. The cat's head does not move. Only the eyes track.] [User input detected: mouse movement. The eyes continue tracking with precision. The cat's mouth remains frozen in its default smile.] [Keyboard input detected: Alt+F4. The tab does not close.] [The cat's form begins to stretch. Limbs elongate. Proportions distort. The familiar Scratch palette shifts-fur changes to dark yellow-ish color, eyes become narrow black slits.] [UN-269 manifests fully. The cursor continues moving. The entity's eyes follow.] [User vocalization detected: "No no no no-"] [The entity's mouth opens. A single line of corrupted text appears in the editor panel:] "you touched me first" [Screen goes black.] [END LOG] Addendum UN-269-2: The project file was recovered with a single sprite remaining. The sprite is named "Sprite1" but contains no costume data. Upon opening the sprite editor, the file corrupts itself within 7 seconds. Recovery attempts ongoing. Note from Researcher █████: He touched it in the uh.. sprite editor. That's new? I think. Previous manifestations only occurred upon project initialization. We may need to update the containment procedures to include sprite editor interaction.
