We are currently receiving countless reports of an unidentified hostile organism that we will refer to as Alternates until we have a complete understanding of the threat. It's important to stay home, lock all doors and windows, and have access to a loaded firearm or any ranged weapon at all times.

You will know if an Alternate exists soley based on their characteristics. If you see another person that looks identical to you, run away and hide. If you see a person that has a biologically impossible characteristic, run away and hide.

If one manages to break into your home, refrain from any kind of communication or contact with the threat. These intelligent life forms utilize elements of psychological warfare to take advantage of their victims. While we heavily discourage any form of contact or communication with an Alternate, we make exceptions for attempts at executing them yourself.

IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF ALTERNATE

Sunny blinked at the boy.

White skin. Plain clothes. Same height. He even appeared to be the same age. He was holding a knife.

The boy blinked back.

NEUTRALIZE THE THREAT

[REDACTED] stabs Sunny.

Sunny takes a deep breath.

Everything is okay.
