**DATELINE:** October 27, 2023 | New Alexandria, Central Zone
**HEADLINE:** "Mina the Hollow" Confirmed as First Documented Case of Asymptomatic Psycho-Echoic Dissociation; Authorities Issue Level-4 Spectral Containment Advisory
**LOCATION:** New Alexandria, Central Zone, Sector 7-Gamma
**SUBJECT:** Mina Voss, 34, Civilian Archivist
**EVENT:** On October 26, at approximately 22:47 local time, security forces responded to a reported "resonance breach" at the Municipal Archives. Upon arrival, personnel encountered Subject Voss, now designated "Mina the Hollow."
**WHY IT IS SIGNIFICANT:** According to the Central Bureau of Psycho-Spectral Health, Subject Voss is the first individual to exhibit full "Hollowing" without concurrent cognitive decline or physical degradation. Standard vocal analysis reveals that Subject Voss’s speech patterns, vocal timbre, and semantic output remain intact. However, all auditory output from the subject produces a secondary, involuntary frequency—classified as "Echo-Cry"—that induces acute sensory dissonance within a 15-meter radius. Witnesses report hearing their own past statements echoed in a distorted, metallic register, as if the subject is an empty vessel for recorded sound.
**OFFICIAL STATEMENT:** "This is not a possession, a parasite, or a psychological break," stated Dr. Helena Rostova, Director of the Bureau. "The subject is physically empty of self. She is a biological archive of ambient audio. She does not speak; she reflects. We are currently investigating whether this state is contagious or geographically isolated."
**CONTAINMENT STATUS:** Subject Voss is currently held in an acoustically dampened observatory. She has not indicated distress, but she has not acknowledged any external stimuli since intake. All communications from the subject
