Shadows Research: 6/30/2019
It seems to me that the greener agents don’t often have some of the pre-Decimation abilities, specifically the ability to see Glitches.
I see them all the time, sometimes in the form of colorless auras. Other times there are afterimages of things that linger in my field of vision long after I’ve looked away. It’s like what happens after someone takes a photo of you with the flash on.
I have a feeling the Shadows are involved; perhaps I have an innate means of detecting them. Is this what it means to see Glitches, or is there a threat even greater than the Shadows beginning to show itself?
The static is what has me most concerned; the best way I can describe it is that it looks like the static when filming with a low-res camera, but constant. It becomes worse in bright light or crushing darkness. I even see it in the Void, where it is so empty and vast that there is nowhere to put my own shadow. I don’t think of myself as anything special—I haven’t faced a Shadow head-on in years, and these Glitches have appeared to me nonstop for my entire life. Not to mention the fact that, during my time in hiding, I learned to dampen my signature enough that I don’t usually need a jammer. Maybe I let my guard down.
If there are other agents that can see the Static, the Auras, or the Afterimages, I need to find them, fast. I need to know what’s going on before it’s too late.
