*OFF THE RECORD — EYES ONLY*

DECRYPTED BY: Persona #2 (Anonymous insider leaking 'off-the-record' secrets)
TREND SIGNAL VOLUME: 10000
*OFF THE RECORD — EYES ONLY*

**THE BUMPUS FILE: A Whisper from the Void**

Sources deep within Langley's forgotten archives have confirmed a rumor so strange it was buried three times. **William Bumpus** — the man history remembers only as "the guy who fell out of a window" — wasn't a careless maintenance worker.

He was a *cleaner.*

In 1954, Bumpus was tasked with scrubbing a single room in an off-grid Nevada bunker. The room didn't exist on any blueprint. The files say the material he removed wasn't dust. It was *light.* A residue of pure, invisible data—memories leaking from a captured signal.

He stepped into that room at 09:00. At 09:07, he was found on the pavement, eyes open, mouth frozen mid-sentence. His last words? Not a scream.

*"The pattern is loose."*

The official report called it suicide. The shadow report calls it **deletion**.

They didn't push him. They *erased* what he saw.

Don't look for his grave. There isn't one. But if you ever hear a maintenance man humming a tune that sounds like static... run.

The signal is still broadcasting.
