WITNESS STATEMENTS

Studio Neighbor (Anonymous):

"That night, the humming was so loud it rattled my windows. But when I looked outside, the studio was dark. In the morning, there were these... symbols carved into the concrete outside. Like bones, but geometric."

Gallery Owner (Confidential):

"The new pieces that keep appearing... they're better than anything the collective produced before. More complex, more unified. It's like they've evolved beyond their individual styles into something... collective."

CURRENT INVESTIGATION STATUS

ACTIVE LEADS:

Monitoring cryptocurrency wallets for further transactions
Analyzing geometric patterns appearing in studio
Investigating Ecliptix Group corporate structure
Searching for similar disappearances globally
Attempting contact with Cassian Thorne entities

CASE CLASSIFICATION UPDATE:

Case reclassified from "Missing Persons" to "Corporate Recruitment Investigation" based on evidence suggesting voluntary participation in unknown project.
