Description

Entity 13HRP – 0014 – The Pale Moths, called The Pale Moths, are bio‑synthetic organisms that do not fit normal insect or animal groups. Their bodies come from cow muscle and tissue rather than insect shell, and their wings are strands of raw flesh. Even so, the wings work, giving them strange, jerky but patterned flight. The sight breaks familiar ideas of insect behaviour, turning it into something both grotesque and disturbing. Because of this, The Pale Mothsunsettle anyone who witnesses them.

Closer study shows more horror. Under a microscope, the chest muscles of The Pale Moths show tooth‑like ridges that act like saws, making safe handling impossible. Hard ridges shaped like molars support their frame. Inside, cow tissue pulses on its own, keeping them alive without a stomach. Their skin sheds pale dust‑like scales that float into air vents and filters. Their eyes and feelers glow faint blue, shining brighter under ultraviolet light. This glow both hides them and frightens people, working as camouflage and weapon at the same time.

Watching The Pale Moths over time shows they rarely stay still. Their bodies vibrate, giving off a low hum like broken electrical wires. People who hear it too long report dizziness, unease, and hallucinations. When they do stop moving, it is only to trick prey. Any noise makes them rise in swarms, striking with sudden force. This trick shows their cunning, lulling prey before attacking with perfect timing.

Human Interaction

Entity 13HRP – 0014 – The Pale Moths shows group thinking like social insects but far more advanced. They never act alone, only in swarms that move with precision. When they attack people, they fly in circles that cause vertigo and confusion. Victims collapse before the swarm strikes. Once a person is helpless, the swarm drops as one body. Their serrated mouths cut flesh fast, leaving no chance of survival. No one has lived through a full swarm attack.

Containment rules say to avoid swarm fights except in the worst cases. The Pale Moths eat only meat, never plants. This makes them a direct threat to humans and animals. Even a small piece of meat triggers frenzy. For this reason, rules ban organic matter near their chambers.

Animal Vulnerability

Other mammals are just as at risk from The Pale Moths. Farm animals, dogs, and cats suffer the same fate as humans. In one case, a worker broke rules and brought a service dog inside. Within seconds, the swarm surrounded, froze, and consumed the animal. A later count showed all 69,013 moths still contained, proving none escaped but showing their deadly speed. The event proved again that strict rule‑keeping is vital.

Instant Report

A major breach happened during the escape of Entity 0003, Xula the Juggernaut. The collapse of walls broke open The Pale Moths’ chamber, releasing nearly half the colony. Guards used flamethrowers, sprays, and nets, but the swarms overpowered them. Two guards were badly hurt, and in the chaos, Entity 0003 kidnapped a senior researcher. Control returned at 19:26, but only after heavy loss of life. The event showed weak points in handling two big threats at once.

The breach proved that 13HRP – 0014 – The Pale Moths grows even more dangerous when paired with other catastrophic beings. Alone they are deadly, but with Juggernaut activity they caused destruction beyond control. Rules have since changed. Teams now train for multi‑threat breaches and use backup systems to respond faster.

Hypotheses and Investigation

Checks after the event showed strange details. Tissue from The Pale Moths was found on the main power unit. Screws had been removed from the dome by hand, and an access panel was shifted. At the same time, security cameras went offline. These facts suggest sabotage—done either by a human with high clearance or, more troubling, by the swarm itself.

In response, leaders added more safeguards. Extra cameras now send feeds to locked archives. Entry requires many forms of ID and codes. Still, debate continues: did The Pale Moths learn to alter systems, or did a person help them? Either answer is alarming and threatens the whole project.

Hidden Lore

Project records hint that 13HRP – 0014 – The Pale Moths may be older than Mac Zurger. Old notes speak of rituals mixing cow sacrifice with insect grafting to make hybrid bodies. The dust they shed may hold traces of cow memory. Staff working near The Pale Moths for long periods report strange sounds: cows lowing, phantom wingbeats, and chewing noises in the walls. Whether these are real effects or signs of stress is unclear. Yet their repeat nature shows the mental toll of exposure.

Entity 13HRP – 0014 – The Pale Moths is more than a predator. It is also a symbol. It breaks the lines between animal types, between human and non‑human, between natural and strange. Many now see The Pale Moths as a living reminder that containment can fail, and that even the systems built to control them may fall apart under their weight.
