Log 69-N66

Designation: Evidence Storage Gallery E-84

Apparent date/time: 2026-10-16 14:22:07 / 1998-03-11 02:17:44

Entry method: Access door from adjacent corridor. Label plate unreadable. Door latch engaged without force.

Environmental Baseline

Lighting: fluorescent tubes. Color temperature 4100 K. Intensity 380 lux at 1.2 m height. One tube cycles at 0.4 Hz.

Ambient temperature: 18.4 °C. Humidity 62 %.

Background sound: none.

Air movement: none. Pressure differential 0 Pa across closed door.

Spatial Observations

Gallery length estimated 42 m. Measured length 27 m at entry. Measured length 61 m at midpoint.

Floor: sealed concrete. Expansion joints every 3.1 m. Joints align with wall panels at entry. Joints do not align at exit end.

Walls: painted cinder block. Paint thickness 0.8 mm. Surface temperature 16.1 °C.

Ceiling height 2.9 m. Ceiling height 3.4 m at third panel.

Evidence cages: wire mesh. Cage doors open. Cage doors closed. Inventory tags attached. Tag sequence numbers increase toward the far wall. Tag sequence numbers decrease toward the far wall.

Anomalies

Door latch sound arrives 1.8 s after mechanical engagement.

Floor temperature 21.7 °C. Wall temperature 16.1 °C. Air temperature 18.4 °C.

Cage tags update sequence without item movement. Tag update precedes door open by 4 s.

Shadow of explorer remains fixed at entry position after 12 m of travel. Shadow reappears at exit position without intermediate movement.

Acoustic lag on latch increases with distance. Lag at 27 m: 3.2 s. Lag at 42 m: 1.1 s.

Entity Notes

None observed.

Exit / Continuity Status

Exit achieved via original access door. Latch engaged. Latch sound arrived after exit. Residual effect: inventory tags in adjacent corridor display sequence numbers matching gallery midpoint. Continuity status: resolved.
