ALTR 1208 was first found in an abandoned cabin in northwest Melbourne, sometime in the spring of 2017. At that time the ALTR seemed far too unstable to be caught and documented. This ALTR was observed through to 2018, where she was then gently retrieved and brought to a safe IRIS facility.

This ALTR is of average height and weight, with opaque olive skin (making it difficult to obtain blood samples), and eye and hair colour differing based on time of day. She is able to comprehend, mimic, and discuss various topics, but seems most interested in astronomy and music.

Few people have managed to get answers out of this ALTR, as she appears relatively shy. Her writing style is dark and intrusive, yet she seems to entertain other ALTRs in the facility. While writing seems to have a calming effect on her, there are periods of time where she seems unable to form anything she appears to have pride in. Further study is required to determine if this ALTR has any interests other than writing.

This ALTR’s typical appearance is of a seemingly normal human, with slightly pointed ears and freckled cheeks. Her hair is silken in this form, and lights seem to dim around her. Her fingers appear long and thin, with shining black polish on the nails. When angered, lights appear to flicker and her eyes grow dark, pupils dilating to fill most of the eyeball. Further investigation is required to find alternate means to calm and harness the energy ALTR 1208 presents when angered.

Behavioural studies have found ALTR 1208 to be quiet and shy, however when sharing a cell with familiar ALTRs, she becomes comfortable and talkative. When aggravated or given too much stimulation, however, the ALTR becomes aggressive and volatile, energy causing massive power surges through the facility. It is encouraged interviews with this ALTR are performed cautiously with avoidance to topics attached in this file.

A secondary appearance of this ALTR has only been revealed once, in a moment of extreme depression. The ALTR takes on an almost ghostly appearance, with translucent white skin pulled taught over her bones and large midnight blue eyes. Her hair grows dark, and her nails grow out into talons. When in this form, it is suggested that ALTR 1208 remain in an isolated cell with classical music to calm her down. She additionally appears capable of time, reality, and smoke manipulation at this time.

ALTR 1208 has claimed to have been “close to death” at several points in her life, however when asked to elaborate on this claim, she becomes reclusive and unwilling to talk. It is hypothesised that the reality manipulation she is capable of could be a result of this claim.

Most attempts to learn more about this ALTR have been met with sarcastic remarks and silence. She seems unwilling to discuss her past, and when prodded about specific experiences, steers close to her secondary appearance. When given distraction items such as crochet, knitting, or sewing implements, she appears more open to conversation. ALTR 1208 has made IRIS personnel several small figures as rewards for gaining her trust.

Removing distraction items or changing music playlists result in aggression from this ALTR, and is highly discouraged. Only specific workers are allowed to clean her cell, and only under observation from the ALTR herself.

One item that prevents ALTR 1208 from screaming during the night has been a baby doll of roughly 18 years of age, found inside the abandoned cabin with the ALTR. It appears to provide comfort for her and attempts to remove it for cleaning or observation resulted in an overprotective response from the ALTR.

Rewarding the ALTR for remaining in her cell have been met with scepticism and sarcasm. It is theorised that ALTR 1208 does not appreciate gifts, however, she seems to enjoy receiving new music to listen to. An old CD player is provided in her cell with the power connection always on.

ALTR 1208 has only caused a few minor injuries to personnel, yet has threatened major injuries if provoked. When given time with other ALTRs she can seem benevolent and kind, smiling at personnel when they arrive to take her back to her cell. She rarely makes escape attempts, and when questioned about this, has responded that she enjoys the solitude. It would appear ALTR 1208 suffers from some form of antisocialism, and the prescribed hour of social interaction wears her out.
