"Staring far"

INCIDENT REPORT

An individual was playing on version 1.1.0, surviving in their world. They were using a pirated launcher because they couldn't be bothered to figure out the official one. While playing and digging a cave, eyes started appearing on their screen that began to strain their computer. This is what it looked like (the user provided an image):

After this, they quickly closed the game and didn't return for several months.

ANOMALY DESCRIPTION

Anomaly 1 manifests as eyes on the screen that appear with increasing frequency, putting strain on the computer's RAM. The first appearance was around 2016 when pirated launchers were common and viruses flourished. A launcher was distributed that pretended to be a normal launcher to help people, but in reality it attempted to harvest computer data and record the screen. The website appearance:

VIEW LAUNCHER RECONSTRUCTION

Nothing is known about the launcher itself, but the user mentioned seeing a version labeled "1.2 NEWEST VERISON EVERRR!!!" but decided not to click on it because they wanted to explore other options out of curiosity, as it was their first time playing Minecraft. When we tried to return to the website, it was already taken down.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS - ESCALATION

Recently, in November, AML-1 manifested the ability to reach outside the game itself. After an encounter, it directly wrote to a user's personal email:

The exact purpose of the message is unknown, as it appears to be rambling from AML-1. This behavior was not anticipated and raises significant concerns.

WARNING: This development suggests a severe increase in risk. Exercise extreme caution if attempting to deliberately hunt for this anomaly.

CONTAINMENT TEST REPORT

A controlled test was conducted on AML-1. The anomaly exhibited signs of sapience and, most alarmingly, managed to completely corrupt a secured, archived virtual machine environment in which it was being observed.

This level of system subversion should not have been possible. The host computer was scanned thoroughly, but no traces of AML-1's activity were found — no unusual processes, network calls, or file alterations.

Current Hypothesis: Either AML-1 has escaped the virtualized environment entirely, or it possesses a method for complete self-deletion from system logs and memory, leaving no forensic footprint.
