Document Identifier: CS-GMA-CLN-DPG-1-1
Date: [September 2024]
Report Author: Octavia Brigard, [Custodial Officer]
Location: [University]
Entity/Abnormality: Doppelgänger
Personnel Involved: Octavia Brigard, Joanne Reyes, Noel Reyes, Mason [Last Name], “Slim” Barbara Lee, Finnian Browne
----------------------------------------
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
----------------------------------------
Objective:
The objective was to locate and properly dispose the of slain Doppelgängers. The secondary objective was to clean any collateral damage resulting from the battle with the [Hunters]. The Doppelgängers are known for their ability to replicate the appearance and behaviors of individuals, complicating the cleanup process by introducing the risk of psychological distress among personnel and the difficulty of distinguishing genuine team members from their impostors.
Summary of Report:
Following the neutralization of three Doppelgängers over Labor Day weekend, the custodial unit was dispatched to [University] to perform a thorough cleanup. The operation commenced at 0300 hours, with the team securing the perimeter of the affected dormitory where the battle with the [Hunters] took place. Initial cleanup efforts were successful; two of the three Doppelgänger corpses were located and properly contained for disposal. However, the third Doppelgänger was not found dead but instead had survived and replicated a member of the custodial team.
At 0600 hours, a team member, Noel Reyes, was duplicated by the surviving Doppelgänger. Due to a lack of effective protocols for immediate identification, the team was unable to discern which individual was the true Noel Reyes. Both entities were detained without incident and are currently being prepped for discernment in a secure facility. As of the report's submission, the Doppelgänger has not exhibited any violent behavior. The overall cleanup operation was deemed successful, though the unresolved identity issue remains a critical concern.
Note:
A formal complaint has been submitted to the [Hunter] Association regarding the lack of clear communication and the failure to ensure all threats were neutralized. The memorandum is detailed in Appendix A.

II. PRE-CLEANUP PREPARATIONS
----------------------------------------
Environmental Assessment:
The university dormitory sustained significant damage during the battle between the Doppelgängers and the [Hunters]. The second-floor hallway, lobby, and several adjacent rooms bore the brunt of the conflict. The corridor was strewn with debris, including shattered glass from windows, splintered wooden doors, and fragments of walls where breaches had occurred. Notably, many mirrors were cracked, likely due to the Doppelgängers' presence. Bloodstains—both human and non-human—were smeared across the floors and walls, and several areas exhibited scorch marks, presumably from incendiary devices used by the [Hunters].
The bodies of two Doppelgängers and two [Hunters] were discovered. All forms were partially distorted and fused into one another. However, the mission brief indicated the presence of a third Doppelgänger, yet no trace of it could be found, raising concerns about its current status.
Personnel Involved:
* Custodial Officer [Octavia Brigard]: Team Lead and Forensic Analyst, responsible for overseeing the cleanup and ensuring all safety protocols are adhered to. Octavia coordinated the operation, ensuring the accuracy of forensic analysis, and making final decisions regarding the handling of any discovered abnormalities.
* Custodian-A [Joanne Reyes]: Evidence Collector and Corporeal Specialist, tasked with gathering samples from the bodies and assessing collateral damage. Joanne was also responsible for overseeing the cleanup of normal debris, including structural repairs and the removal of normal damage.
* Custodian-B [Noel Reyes]: Secondary Corporeal Specialist, assisting Joanne Reyes in the collection and analysis of corporeal evidence. Noel also supported the manual cleanup of physical debris and damage within the dormitory.
* Custodian-C [Mason [Last Name]]: Supernatural Residue Specialist, tasked with handling the cleanup of lingering Doppelgänger remains. Mason was also responsible for identifying and neutralizing any ectoplasmic residue or other supernatural materials left behind.
* Custodian-D [Barbara Lee]: Secondary Forensic Analyst and Secondary Supernatural Residue Specialist, focused on identifying the cause of collateral damage. Barbara assisted in ensuring that all traces of supernatural and physical abnormalities were thoroughly removed from the site.
* Custodian-F [Finnian Browne]: Animal Handler, utilizing trained supernatural entities to locate and neutralize any unfound supernatural residue. Finnian also closely monitored the behavior of personnel for any signs indicating they had been replaced by the third Doppelgänger or were exhibiting other abnormal behavior.
Risk Assessment:
The primary concern was the absence of the third Doppelgänger, which posed a significant threat if still active.
The compromised structural integrity of the dormitory heightened the risk of injury from falling debris or sudden collapses.
The [Hunters'] use of strange and incendiary weapons may have left behind hazardous materials or abnormal burn patterns, further complicating the cleanup process.
The team was briefed on the possibility of encountering unexpected entities and was equipped with amnestics to manage any psychological effects.
Contingency plans included immediate evacuation protocols should the third Doppelgänger be found alive or if further structural instability was detected.
----------------------------------------
III. CLEANUP PROCESS
----------------------------------------
Initial Encounter:
The two identified Doppelgänger bodies were found near the epicenter of the conflict, their forms grotesquely distorted and partially fused with the surrounding environment, including the corpses of two [Hunters]. This fusion indicated a violent and confusing end, complicating the initial assessment. Despite a thorough investigation led by Finnian Browne, no trace of the third Doppelgänger could be found, heightening concerns about its status.
Neutralization:

The two discovered Doppelgänger bodies were confirmed inactive by Mason [Last Name], with assistance from Barbara Lee, and verified by Octavia Brigard. The bodies were neutralized using a combination of silver-lined mirrors and controlled flame, a method chosen for its effectiveness against mimetic entities. The absence of the third body prompted further precautionary measures, including the setting of a controlled flame to overturned furniture. This action yielded no results.
Cleanup Operations:
Assuming that the Doppelgänger bodies were found and neutralized, the team shifted focus to addressing the extensive collateral damage caused by the [Hunters]. Joanne Reyes and Noel Reyes conducted a detailed assessment of the structural integrity of the affected areas, identifying several points of instability, particularly around the dormitory’s support beams. Emergency bracing was installed to prevent further collapse, and a comprehensive plan of action was drafted and delivered to the [University] for potential repairs to restore structural soundness.
Barbara Lee meticulously documented the scene, cataloging multiple bloodstains from both human and non-human sources. Samples were collected for further analysis to determine the extent of the Doppelgängers’ influence on the environment.
The dormitory cleanup involved rigorous decontamination procedures. Mason [Last Name], with substantial assistance from Barbara Lee, led the effort to remove all ectoplasmic and blood residues. They utilized specialized cleaning agents designed to neutralize both natural and supernatural contaminants. The team encountered significant difficulty when dealing with the eyes of the Doppelgängers, which resisted conventional disposal methods. Finnian Browne successfully resolved this issue by “feeding” the eyes to controlled supernatural entities. No adverse effects reported thus far.
During the operation, several unexploded devices left behind by the [Hunters] were discovered. Joanne Reyes safely disarmed these devices and removed them for secure disposal. A formal complaint regarding this issue has been submitted and is detailed in Appendix A.
Complications:
A significant complication arose during the operation when Finnian Browne’s supernatural entity began exhibiting unusual behavior near a previously cleared dormitory room. The entity, normally calm and focused, became agitated and circled Noel Reyes. Initially, this was dismissed as a reaction to residual energy, but further investigation by Joanne Reyes revealed minor discrepancies in Noel’s actions and responses—subtle but concerning deviations.
Custodial Officer Octavia Brigard immediately ordered an identification protocol, which revealed a disturbing truth: the third Doppelgänger had survived the battle with the [Hunters]. The situation escalated when the verification process failed to distinguish the real Noel Reyes from the Doppelgänger. Both “Noels” presented identical memories, mannerisms, and biometric data, making identification impossible. Finnian Browne pointed out that continued interaction with the false Noel would likely complicate any future attempts to separate the two. As a precaution, Joanne Reyes was removed from the space to minimize this risk. Both “Noels” were subsequently bound and detained without resistance.
Due to the tension and uncertainty among personnel caused by this complication, Custodial Officer Octavia Brigard decided to temporarily halt the operation. After further review, it was determined that the custodial unit had successfully completed the primary objective, concluding the operation with a job well done, despite the unresolved issue of the Doppelgänger’s identity.
----------------------------------------
IV. POST-CLEANUP ANALYSIS
----------------------------------------
Verification of Site Integrity:
Following the completion of the primary cleanup, the team conducted a thorough verification of site integrity to ensure all traces of the Doppelgängers and the battle with the [Hunters] were fully cleansed. Mason [Last Name] led the team in performing a series of spectral scans across the dormitory to detect any residual ectoplasmic or abnormal energy signatures. These scans confirmed that all active supernatural residues had been successfully neutralized. Additionally, structural integrity tests were carried out by Joanne Reyes and Noel Reyes, focusing on the support beams and other critical areas identified during the cleanup. These tests showed that the emergency bracing installed earlier had stabilized the affected areas, rendering them safe for temporary use until full repairs could be made by the university.
Residual Effects:
The discovery of the surviving Doppelgänger and the inability to identify the real Noel Reyes led to heightened anxiety and unease among the team. Custodial Officer Octavia Brigard has recommended that all personnel involved in the operation undergo psychological evaluation and debriefing to address any potential long-term impacts.
The environmental changes, particularly the structural damage, are expected to remain until [University] undertakes the necessary repairs.
Entity/Abnormal Remains:
The remains of the two neutralized Doppelgängers were carefully collected and analyzed by Mason [Last Name] and Barbara Lee. The bodies were in a severely degraded state, with ectoplasmic residue intermingling with physical matter, making detailed analysis challenging.
As for the surviving Doppelgänger, both it and the real Noel Reyes (if such can be determined) remain in containment pending further analysis and identification.
----------------------------------------
V. POST-OPERATION PERSONNEL EVALUATION
----------------------------------------
Psychological and Physical Health:
Post-operation health assessments were conducted for all team members, with a particular focus on their psychological and physical well-being. Physically, all personnel were found to be in stable condition, with only minor injuries reported, such as cuts and bruises from handling debris.
However, the psychological impact of the operation, especially the unresolved situation with the Doppelgänger mimicking Noel Reyes, was significant. Several team members exhibited signs of anxiety and heightened stress, particularly Joanne Reyes and Finnian Browne, who had close interactions with the duplicated entity. It was recommended that all involved undergo a mandatory psychological debriefing and continued monitoring to address any lingering effects.
No immediate medical interventions were necessary, but follow-up evaluations have been scheduled.
Team Debrief:
During the team debriefing, several key points were raised. Custodial Officer Octavia Brigard acknowledged the team's effective handling of the cleanup, particularly under the stressful conditions caused by the Doppelgänger's survival. However, the incident with the undetectable Doppelgänger highlighted a critical gap in the team's current identification protocols. The need for more advanced detection methods was emphasized, as was the importance of additional training in handling shape-shifting entities.
Barbara Lee suggested incorporating more robust psychological preparedness training, given the intense mental strain experienced during this operation. Overall, the team agreed that while the operation was successful, there were significant areas for improvement.
Lessons Learned:
The operation underscored the necessity of having reliable methods for identifying and neutralizing Doppelgängers, especially when they have the ability to mimic team members. The importance of clear communication and the psychological readiness of the team were also highlighted. Key takeaways included the need for improved detection equipment, enhanced training in dealing with Doppelgängers, and the value of psychological support both during and after such operations. The integration of these lessons into future protocols is crucial to ensure the safety and efficiency of the team.
A critical lesson from this operation is the potential risk posed by having team members who are related to one another on the same mission. The emotional connections between related custodians can complicate decision-making and increase psychological stress, particularly in situations involving entities like Doppelgängers. Going forward, [Custodians] who are related to one another will not be assigned to the same mission to mitigate these risks.
The integration of these lessons into future protocols is crucial to ensure the safety and efficiency of the team.

VI. APPENDIX A. MEMORANDUM OF THE OFFICIAL COMPLAINT TOWARD THE HUNTER ASSOCIATION
----------------------------------------
To: Hunter Association, Human Resources and Public Relations Division
From: Custodial Association, Operations Division
Subject: Official Complaint Regarding Operational Oversights and Coordination Failures during the University Doppelgänger Cleanup
This memorandum serves as an official complaint regarding the operational oversights and coordination failures by the Hunter Association during the recent conflict involving Doppelgänger entities at the [University].
On [Date], the Custodial Association was dispatched to the [University] to clean up the aftermath of a battle involving three Doppelgänger entities and a team of Hunters. While two of the Doppelgängers were neutralized, the third remained unaccounted for. This oversight by the [Hunter] team resulted in a significant complication during our cleanup operation, as the missing Doppelgänger managed to mimic one of our custodians, leading to heightened psychological stress and operational delays.
Operational Failures Identified:
1. Failure to Confirm Neutralization of All Entities:
The most critical issue was the failure of the Hunter team to confirm the neutralization of all three Doppelgängers. The surviving entity was able to infiltrate our team, creating confusion and risking the safety of our personnel. This oversight is unacceptable and highlights a need for stricter protocols and verification processes during Hunter operations.
2. Lack of Communication and Coordination:
There was inadequate communication between the Hunter team and the Custodial Association, particularly concerning the status of the Doppelgängers and any remaining threats. Clear and timely communication is essential to ensure the safety and effectiveness of cleanup operations, and this breakdown in coordination led to avoidable risks and complications.
3. Unexploded Devices Left on Site:
During our cleanup, multiple unexploded devices were discovered within the dormitory. These devices, left behind by the Hunter team, posed a significant risk to our custodians and further delayed the operation. It is imperative that all hazardous materials be accounted for and removed prior to handing over the site to cleanup teams. Additional time and resources were spent disarming unexploded devices and securing the site, which could have been avoided with proper Hunter protocols.
The Custodial Association values the work of the Hunter Association in combating supernatural threats. However, the issues identified during the recent operation at the [University] demonstrate a need for improved protocols and coordination. We urge the Hunter Association to address these concerns promptly to prevent future incidents and to ensure the continued safety and success of our collaborative efforts.
