Albany (AWE-29)
EVENT SUMMARY:
A response team was dispatched to a possible AWE in progress at the Warehouse District, Albany. At the scene, the team encountered and retrieved AI63.
EVENT RESPONSE:
The Bureau had discovered numerous online message boards regarding loud noises coming from an abandoned shipping warehouse belonging to the Human FurnitureCorporation. Local law enforcement had discovered numerous bodies in various states of mutilation in the vicinity. This, along with the noises, were considered to be evidence of a "werewolf" due to the fact that they only occurred on the last three full moons.
Field Agent Lin Salvador? accompanied a squad of ranger trainees to the site as a form of field training. The likelihood of a genuine AWE was considered low. Despite this evaluation, the team encountered a highly-volatile Altered Item, which they successfully retrieved.

DETAILS:
Upon arrival, the squad broke into the warehouse and discovered boxes of undelivered merchandise abandoned by the previous owner of the warehouse. As they investigated the noise, a gravitational anomaly along the south side of the building caused it to collapse inward. Wooden crates in accelerated physical states of motion? telekinesis? Seriously, why is this redacted? from the anomaly? rendered Field Agent Salvador and two of the trainees unconscious. The others escaped the warehouse before it collapsed entirely. In the rubble, they found AI63 at the origin of the gravitational effect, attracting and repelling debris.
They stood guard around the item until the moon set, at which point the altered effect ceased. They returned the item to the Bureau without further incident. No fatalities occurred.
The collapse of the warehouse was not witnessed by civilians and thus no re-informing by the Communications Department was required.

Re: The Furnace — why aren't we allowed to burn outdated paperwork in it? Seems like a waste of a perfectly good fire. I'm just trying to save you a few bucks and a lot of sweat. Usually people in suits appreciate that, right?
What is the furnace even heating? And who's in charge of it anyway? It's always lit but I never see anyone tending to it. And the noise it makes, isn't it a little... I don't know, off? I mean I can't be the only one who hears that weird wheezing or whatever it is.
Someone should take a look at that thing. Might be time for a replacement.

SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS;
(Excerpt from "Altered Speech of AI14" by Dr. Theodore Ash)
"The results are incredible, but more so the speed of discovery this allows us. All 4 copies our speech, but after numerous tests we've discovered that certain words are missing from its vocabulary. We began isolating these words, cross-referencing them with esoteric texts from the early days of the Bureau. We found that these words, when arranged in particular formations and spoken at varying speeds and cadences, elicit a reaction from altered materials.
We tested this specific string of words, a "Formula" if you will, on the other Altered Items kept in the Examination Hall. Varying physical responses were recorded with each one, with an 82% success rate. We've proven that words can tangibly affect these items. Specific applications must be explored, possibly for containment or identification purposes. This will drastically change our approach moving forward.
And to think, there are still more words to be found!"

EVENT SUMMARY:
A paranatural object appeared in a field outside the town of Sterling, Colorado, near a billboard advertising Dr Pepper. Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?. No civilians were injured, though a family dog has been reported as missing since the event.
EVENT RESPONSE:
Local authorities arrived on the scene and began issuing orders over a monitored line of communication, using several watchwords flagged by the Bureau (including totally fucking weird). Bureau agents from the regional office were dispatched and arrived two hours after local police. The situation was contained and analysis began.
Bureau research staff arrived the next day and examined the object. After 108 days of evaluation, the object was lifted into an enclosed truck with built-in Black Rock panels and relocated to Bureau headquarters via the subway transit system leading into the Oldest House.

Local witnesses report a bright flash in the field, at approximately midnight?. No noise accompanied the light.
Authorities had assumed the object fell from the sky, but our examination found the object actually manifested there, vaporizing the soil around it in an intense spherical shaped crater, which possibly explains the light seen from the town.
The object is a hollow sphere made of a stone-like material. Structural analysis of the material does not match any materials on record. The sphere has a broken portion, as if something hatched like a bird from the object. The object has been inactive since arriving at the Bureau.
The Communications Department officially stated to the press that the object was a small meteor, while also using the America Overnight program to spread a conspiracy theory about aliens (see episode 92).
NOTE: This AWE will be studied in the Containment Sector until the spherical object is deemed safe to be transferred to the Investigations Sector.
