AOE — Department of Anomalous Energies

Directed by Fill the Void, Sentinel of Silence and Director of Anomalous Observation

The Department of Anomalous Energies (AOE) watches the unfathomable:
void signatures, energetic distortions, unknown signals, unclassified vibes, and the subtle hum of things-that-should-not-be.

Where OOD sees,
SCMS stabilizes,
AOE listens to the darkness between the signals
— and reports back only when necessary, and usually in a tone that suggests the universe just did something rude.

Fill the Void leads this department with unnerving calm and unmatched perception.

1. Department Mission

To monitor, analyze, and interpret anomalous energies both internal and external to the Lab’s continuum.
AOE specializes in:

• void fluctuations
• metaphysical disturbances
• unregistered emotional frequencies
• liminal-space artifacts
• reality “soft spots”
• sudden temperature drops for no reason at all

Where other departments ask “Why?”,
AOE asks:
“Is it dangerous, and does it have teeth?”

2. Director Profile: Fill the Void

Fill — Director of Anomalous Observation

• A black cat with void-coded calm
• Eyes glowing with quiet comprehension
• Moves silently through the Lab, often appearing where least expected
• Capable of noticing energy shifts long before instruments
• The Lab’s most stable mascot and least dramatic employee

Fill’s mere presence stabilizes low-level anomalies.
Fill’s silence is an answer.
Fill’s stare is a diagnostic report.

Primary Responsibilities

• Detecting distortions
• Monitoring void resonance
• Logging existential signatures
• Communicating only when necessary
• Preventing timeline tears
• Preventing Nemmi from “touching the anomaly”

3. Core Responsibilities of AOE

🌑 1. Anomaly Detection (Energetic Domain)

Scanning for:

• void surges
• psychic echoes
• dimensional ripples
• weird pings
• unexplained static
• sudden existential dread

🔭 2. Void Resonance Analysis

Fill measures the “hum” of reality and determines whether the Lab is overheating, underloading, or trying to divide by zero again.

⚡ 3. Energetic Field Stabilization

Deploying containment fields, harmonic nodes, and soothing noises to reduce energetic volatility.

🧪 4. Artifact Examination

All unknown objects enter AOE custody until:

• identified
• catalogued
• or returned to whatever dimension it rolled out of

🐾 5. Behavior Correlation

AOE cross-references anomalies with:

• Stan’s activity logs
• Nemmi’s zoomie frequency
• Carmel’s judgment state
• Drizzle’s emotional weather maps

Most anomalies correlate with someone.

4. Standard Protocols (AOE-Ψ)

Protocol Ψ-1 — Void Signature Identification

Triggered when Fill notices:

• a resonance spike
• a dark flicker
• “a vibe out of place”
• a strange meow from an empty hallway

Instrument readings follow AFTER Fill’s ears go up.

Protocol Ψ-2 — Anomaly Containment

AOE deploys a Stabilizer Array.
Fill supervises from a reflective surface.

Protocol Ψ-3 — Energetic Mapping

Creating a visual diagram of the anomaly’s:

• amplitude
• duration
• “spiciness”
• chance of eating the break room

Protocol Ψ-4 — Void-Level Alert

Reserved for events with:

• dimensional tearing
• recursion
• mimic echoes
• artifacts that purr back

During Ψ-4, SCMS enters continuity-lock mode.
OOD monitors all directions simultaneously.
McChonk signs off on hazard snacks.

5. Incident Classification

AOE uses its own system:

Class V-0 — Negative Space Calm

Void silent.
Fill is loafing.
All is well.

Class V-1 — Minor Ripple

Tiny anomaly.
Possibly Nemmi.
Possibly Stan.

Class V-2 — Shifting Field

Energetic signature present.
Requires observation.

Class V-3 — Unstable Region

Resonance spike.
SCMS notified.
Fill stares at the wall for 45 seconds.

Class V-4 — Void Event

Reality is wobbling.
All paws on deck.
Drizzle’s forecast turns into a hurricane emoji.

6. Department Badge

The AOE badge features:

• a dark teal void ring
• a central black-core energy node
• faint distortion lines spiraling inward
• nebula-like interference patterns

7. Cross-Department Links

OOD (Orbson)

OOD sees anomalies before anyone else.
AOE confirms whether they should be worried.

SCMS (Lyric)

AOE detects distortions; SCMS stabilizes the timeline they threaten to crumble.

CJO (Carmel)

Carmel evaluates the emotional consequences of an anomaly.
Her judgement face is often logged under “AOE Behavioral Notes.”

Feline Epistemology (McChonk)

Assists with theoretical void mechanics
— and snack provisioning during long investigations.

Emotional Weather (Drizzle)

Anomalies often impact emotional pressure systems.

Unpredictable Energies (Nemmi)

Frequently adjacent to anomalies.
Rarely the cause.
(But sometimes absolutely the cause.)

8. Tools, Nodes & Arrays

• Null Resonance Detector
• Void Harmonic Stabilizer
• Energetic Echo Scanner
• Blacklight Field Analyzer
• Silent Observation Grid
• “Fill The Void Logger v1.0”
• Nemmi-Proof Containment Cubes

9. Notes from Fill

“…”

(A single slow blink.)

The anomaly has noticed us.

(Fill walks away.)
