Report: Attempted Automaton Infringement

Overview
Level: 0; threat has been neutralized by outside sources.

At the time of [EXPUNGED] 2026, several readings measured drastic fluctuations in the space-time fabric. Investigations of the origin point were conducted by [EXPUNGED] and [EXPUNGED]. Reports suggested the presence of Automaton life entering into reality and displaying level: 3 traits and behaviors. Descriptions of the Automatons from both team members were similar enough to be matched, leading foundation heads to believe them as Xeroxes of an original. Their purpose was unknown at the time but was heavily assumed to be research and gathering of samples shown by their apparent curiosity.

First Incident
Media coverage from Times Square, New York shows a conflict between one Lightning Elemental, one Wendigo, and one Automaton similar to those seen on [EXPUNGED]. One Ice Witch was seen encasing the Elemental in a dome which was destroyed by the Automaton, leaving initial classifications of this model to be level: 2. The Elemental, Wendigo, and Automaton are then seen being transported by an unknown method that resembles mist.

Second Incident
A successful breach of security at the site [EXPUNGED] was led by the Automaton, now labeled as Model: A-1, in assistance of the previously seen Lighting Elemental. A discussion between [EXPUNGED] and the Automaton resulted in a trade of contained level: 3 monsters Eira Winther for a level: 5 objects. The object is described as round in shape with dials and button written with unknown symbols (this was later matched with original reports of the Automaton sightings as the 'eye' of the machine). A similar method of transportation to the first incident was used when the trade had concluded. Further investigation of the object shows technological capabilities including Simulation, Recording, and critical analysis of recorded footage.

Final Incident
While largely undocumented, the third expedition towards the origin site left foundation members perplexed. The once dry land had become fertile and had sprouted a forest in its place. This was the recorded site of the Nakano Empire, now repurposed by the Automatons to house a large concrete structure that spanned roughly 200 meters by 150 meters. The southern face of the structure had been defaced and demolished with blast marks spreading outward into the forest. It is unknown what forces caused the destruction of the structure, but teams have reported the inside to be hollow and devoid of noteworthy findings.
