Anomaly Designation Sheet: C-108 "ITSY BITSY"
Threat Level: Crimson
Class: C — Active Uncontained Predator
Clearance Required: Level 5 Psi-Crypt Access
---
General Description:
C-108, known as "Itsy Bitsy", is a massive psychic predator resembling a spider, capable of adjusting its size between 1 and 3 miles in height. Its primary hunting method is long-term psychological manipulation combined with mimicry, hallucination, and reality distortion localized to a single human target.
Itsy Bitsy is not the apex predator in its food chain — there are larger, unidentified entities it instinctively flees from. These entities are unknown and classified Omega-Black.
---
Known Traits & Abilities:
Psychic Marking: C-108 can "mark" a single victim. Only the marked individual is affected by its influence.
Auditory Manipulation: The victim hears a psychic rendition of "Itsy Bitsy Spider."
Louder = Farther away
Quieter = Closer
Silence = Extremely close / imminent attack
Mimicry: Constructs near-perfect silken replicas of loved ones, both visually and vocally.
Mind Erosion: Over time (days to months), it breaks down the victim's emotional and psychological defenses.
Physical Invisibility to Most Tech: Cannot be recorded on standard thermal, audio, or electromagnetic sensors.
Dimensional Retreat: Retreats into a higher phase of space when threatened.
Weakness – Water: Exposure to water (especially rain or submersion) causes visible injury and forces a retreat.
---
Behavioral Patterns:
Patient Hunter: Can stalk a target for weeks without initiating contact.
Non-Aggressive to Non-Targets: Entirely ignores unmarked individuals, even at close range.
Localized Reality Manipulation: Alters the perception of time, sound, and emotional response in victims.
Final Capture: Lures target to an isolated zone (typically forest or overgrown ruins) covered in massive, invisible silk webs.
---
Containment Notes:
C-108 cannot currently be contained.
Water-based deterrents have proven effective for limited repulsion only.
Psi-null zones reduce influence range but do not nullify the mark.
Unconfirmed reports suggest geographic migration patterns tied to rainfall cycles.
---
First Recorded Encounter:
Recovered Incident File: R-3318 (D-Class Volunteer)
> Subject began reporting soft singing six hours into monitoring.
Over next 12 hours, subject experienced hallucinations, emotional regression, and phantom presence.
Final words recorded: "It's so quiet now."
Recovery team found no remains — only silken residue pulsing faintly with heat and the word "SOON" woven into the ceiling.
---
Memetic Defense Advisory:
Personnel assigned to C-108 research or fieldwork must undergo the following:
Weekly memory anchoring therapy
Emotion disassociation training
Emergency "White Noise Submersion" drills
Daily rain exposure checks for mark absence
---
Closing Quote – Director Ashen, Psi Division:
> "It doesn't chase. It waits. And it whispers using the faces you miss most."
"If Itsy Bitsy ever decides we're all worth catching… there won't be a web big enough to hold the dead."
HUNTER PROTOCOL SHEET
Classification: WEB-CLASS ENTITIES (Psychic Predators)
Subtype Focus: C-108 "Itsy Bitsy"
Status: Active Threat
Access Level: 4+ Clearance Required
---
Entity Class Summary: "Web-Class"
> Web-Class entities are defined as:
"Massive-scale psychic predators utilizing long-range psychological entrapment, memory mimicry, and localized sensory corruption to isolate and harvest human targets."
Common features:
Psychic bond with a single victim
Reality-adjacent behavior (not fully bound to physical space)
Use of loved-one mimicry
Anomalous song, phrase, or signal used as lure
High resistance to direct attack; weakness to environmental disruption (usually elemental)
---
Field Signs of Web-Class Activity
Individual claiming to hear a specific childhood rhyme no one else can hear
Sudden emotional breakdowns in previously stable individuals
Visual sightings of deceased or missing relatives reported by a single person
Vanishing without signs of struggle in areas later found laced with unnatural silk
"Feeling watched" lasting days or weeks, centered on lone individuals
---
Survival Protocol: If You Are Marked
Stage 1: Confirmation
Song heard only by you: Confirm psychic mark.
Report to Psi-Sec Command and request rain test or saltwater exposure (temporary suppression).
Stage 2: Delay
Do not isolate yourself.
Maintain constant human contact and audible noise (white noise, rain tracks).
Use mirrored surfaces to check for hallucinatory doubles.
Stage 3: Disruption
Surround yourself with flowing water, rain machines, or humidifiers.
Sleep under ceiling drip or in waterproof tents.
Exposure to natural rainfall forces temporary retreat of C-108.
Stage 4: Extraction
If song volume nears silence:
> "You are within lethal range."
Immediate action: Jump in water, break line-of-sight, blindfold self, and call Code Obsidian.
---
Team Protocols: Encountering a Marked Individual
Do not dismiss their claims. Their panic is real, even if the cause is invisible.
Use hydro-barriers around living quarters.
Administer anti-hallucinogenic cocktails (Mk.II-Rainblot recommended).
If victim goes silent or starts fixating on deceased persons: Evac immediately.
---
Containment Outlook
Containment: Currently unfeasible.
Neutralization: Only viable during heavy, sustained rainfall, with precision strikes coordinated across multiple dimensions.
Extermination attempts have resulted in loss of teams, mental collapses, and a confirmed escalation in predation behaviors.
---
Personal Note – Agent Rhodes, Psi Extraction Lead
> "You won't hear it. You'll just watch your teammate sit up in the middle of the night, whisper 'it's quieter now'… then walk straight into the woods."

Recorded Encounter Summary:
Lena was lured into the forest by what appeared to be her deceased younger brother. Over a span of weeks, she was isolated, stalked, and psychically pressured by C-108. As the rhyme "Itsy Bitsy Spider" played, she noticed:
The louder the rhyme, the further away the threat.
The quieter it became, the closer Itsy Bitsy was.
The voice of the mimic was too perfect, often knowing personal memories and phrases only her brother would've said.
She survived by:
1. Refusing to speak with the mimic.
2. Staying in exposed areas where rain or mist was present.
3. Humming the rhyme aloud—a strategy she believed "kept her tethered to what was real."
On the 42nd day, as the mimic closed in and the song fell silent, Lena claims she saw a large humanoid wolf—C-211 "Creature"—emerge from the trees. It engaged C-108 in a violent confrontation. Lena recalls little except seeing a flash of glowing Norse runes and "silk burning like it was alive." When she awoke, she was outside the forest, with rain falling steadily.
---
Role in The Obsidian Directive:
Lena now serves as a living warning system for psychic-class anomalies, especially C-108. She is called in during high-risk missions as a passive detector and has undergone survival training with Warden teams. Exposure to rainwater still calms her, and she carries a water sprayer as a personal safety measure.

End Quote:
"Everyone thinks the song is the threat. It's not. The song is your only friend. If it ever stops... run. Just run."
