Anomaly Story

// section
T-1881(Ob) Scarlet Phantom is an Anomaly that occasionally appears in performance venues such as concert halls, theaters, or cinemas. It takes the form of evening gowns in black and white, with female and male styles appearing in pairs. Though no one wears them, they float in midair, dancing gracefully together. Since Scarlet Phantoms are drawn to grand performances and naturally undergo nullification when the performance ends, they are often considered harmless. However, any attempt to disrupt the performance or stop the Scarlet Phantom's dance will provoke retaliation. When attacking, the Anomaly transforms dance steps into attacks. Though not particularly threatening to experienced Anomaly Hunters, Scarlet Phantoms often appear in groups, which significantly increases their danger level. Some artists consider the appearance of Scarlet Phantoms a sign of success. This notion is not entirely wrong, as these entities are actually quite picky about their tastes. However, given the danger they pose to ordinary people, it would be best to notify the Bureau of Anomaly Control as soon as they are spotted, wouldn't it?

Anomaly Nexus

The performance that drew them ends, or their dance disrupted by external force.
§04

Containment Measures

// proto
// proto
The containment unit should provide sufficient space for dancing. Since this Anomaly naturally undergoes nullification when the performance that attracted them ends, a large screen continuously playing classic performances that have previously attracted Scarlet Phantoms is sufficient. The playlist should be updated according to their appearance records.
