CLASSIFIED // RECOVERED GLYPH

A sealed machine panel was located on Sublevel B during routine deactivation.

Cold casing.

Warm metal.

No known activity was logged in the area.

The marking appears to be self-etched — no tool residue, no manufacturer ID, no reason for it to exist.

They’re calling it:

THE ASCENDING WITNESS GLYPH.

Further documentation is restricted.

Some symbols don’t speak.

They listen.
