JTAEC – INTERAGENCY ANOMALOUS ENTITY REPORT
Case File: OPERATION BOX
Classification: Level-4 Threat Assessment
Distribution: JTAEC Intelligence & Containment Divisions Only
Compiled by: Special Analyst R. Delacroix
Date: [REDACTED]
Subject of Investigation
Code Name: Sheepy
Species: Bipedal anomalous sheep with pure white wool and spiral ram horns.
Known Affiliations: Coalition of Allied Terran Sociopaths (C.A.T.S)
Primary Anomalous Behavior: Compulsive acquisition of tin cans, including ingestion of rusted varieties and weaponized variants.
Summary of Events
Between [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], multiple urban civilians reported an unidentified “talking sheep” arriving at their residences concealed inside a cardboard box labeled “FREE – PLEASE ADOPT”.
The entity’s operational pattern, as gathered from incident interviews, follows a four-step infiltration process:
Concealment: Entity positions itself inside a large box on doorstep of random civilian dwelling.
Deception: Upon door being opened, the entity requests “adoption” in a tone described as “unsettlingly cute.”
Exploitation: Civilian invites entity inside; entity then rapidly searches kitchen, garage, and storage areas.
Extraction: Entity departs with stolen tin cans, leaving only empty shelves and occasional note of “thanks” for rusted items.
Civilian Testimonies
Witness #2: “It was wearing a scarf and asked if I had any ‘vintage oxidized’ cans. I thought it was a joke. Then my pantry was bare.”
Witness #6: “When I turned my back, I heard a metallic clinking sound and it was gone. The box was too.”
Witness #10: “I peeked inside the box and it winked at me. I don’t like how much I think about that now.”
Recovered Evidence
Following coordinated surveillance, JTAEC field agents tracked Sheepy to a storage site containing:
312 empty tin cans (standard).
48 rust-flavored cans (partially consumed).
9 modified cans containing internal fragmentation assemblies and pull-tab activation mechanisms.
Reinforced cardboard box with internal padding and food compartment — suspected primary infiltration device.
Threat Assessment
Sheepy demonstrates advanced infiltration skills, effective psychological manipulation of civilians, and capability to convert mundane items into weaponized devices.
While theft of food containers is minor in scope, the weaponized cans represent a potential escalation in urban anomalous threats.
JTAEC Operational Conclusion
Operation Box is a confirmed Sheepy-led acquisition campaign.
Recommendation: Continue covert monitoring, intercept future “adoption” attempts, and develop containment protocol that neutralizes Sheepy’s box-based infiltration without triggering retaliatory force.
Note from Lead Investigator:
“This isn’t just petty theft. This is reconnaissance wrapped in cardboard.”
