Log Entry #010: Phantom Echoes in the Gauntlet

Reconnaissance units operating within the Glitch Gauntlet constructs report a new class of anomaly: phantom data echoes. These entities mimic environmental hazards but lack solid data signatures, phasing through conventional barriers and Operators alike. They don't cause direct system damage, but their presence induces severe sensory distortion and navigational errors.

Standard Glitch Hunter protocols are proving ineffective. These 'phantoms' don't respond to energy dispersal weaponry. They seem to be residual imprints of deleted code, or perhaps memories of the Grid itself, now given fleeting form by the dimensional instabilities. Their patterns are erratic, often mirroring pathways that no longer exist.

The psychological impact on Operators is significant. We need a new approach to catalog and understand these echoes before they further compromise critical missions within these already unstable reality constructs.
