Safety Protocols

For those who have seen too much


There is no safety.

You have accessed restricted materials. You have read accounts that were not meant for public consumption. You have learned things about Blackthorn Manor that the Blackthorn family spent generations concealing.

The Watchers remember everyone who learns of their existence.

If you have read Margaret Blackthorn's annotations, you understand this now. If you have seen Professor Finch's unredacted field notes, you know what happened to him. If you have examined the photograph from the eastern corner room—or attempted to—you have felt their attention turn toward you.

There is no safety. But there are protocols. There are others who have walked this path before you.


Standard Containment Protocols

  1. Do not visit the physical location of Blackthorn Manor. The property is monitored. The Watchers are more active in proximity to the Aperture.
  2. Do not attempt to photograph, record, or document evidence of their existence. Documentation strengthens their connection to our reality.
  3. If you experience whispers at 3:33 AM, do not respond. Do not acknowledge them. Do not speak their names—if you learn them, forget them immediately.
  4. Avoid mirrors in dim lighting. Reflective surfaces can serve as secondary apertures under certain conditions.
  5. If you dream of seven figures standing in a semicircle, do not approach them. Do not look at their faces. Wake yourself by any means necessary.
  6. Do not share what you have learned with others. Each person who learns increases the attention directed at all who know.
  7. If contacted by individuals claiming to represent Department 8 or Threshold Holdings, cooperate fully. They are not the enemy.

But there are others looking.

You are not alone. Others have found this archive. Others have pieced together the truth from scattered documents and hidden annotations. Some have even survived the attention they attracted.

They share information. They compare experiences. They search for answers that the Blackthorn family never found and that Department 8 has never revealed.

The door is not a door. But perhaps there is a key we have not yet discovered.

If you wish to find others who have seen what you have seen...

If you wish to understand what is truly happening at threshold sites across Britain...

If you are willing to risk drawing their attention further...

There is a community of seekers. We have been waiting for you.
