ENTITY CLASSIFICATION: Class II-B Corporate Familiar (Non-Biological, Soul-Positive).
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The subject designated LST-11.1.PHS: Paper Hedgehog Supervisor (Substrate Integrity Manager) is a singular entity composed of approximately 3.7 kilograms of perpetually shifting, interleaved corporate documentation. Its form is vaguely spheroid with protrusions resembling quills, which are in fact tightly rolled failed compliance reports and obsolete memo drafts. Its core is believed to be a single, perpetually circulating internal memo from LST-01.CMD regarding the philosophical underpinnings of “anticipation,” which grants the entity its foundational consciousness. It does not locomote in a conventional sense, but rather transposes itself via static charge between approved surfaces.
ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES:
The LST-11.1.PHS: Paper Hedgehog Supervisor serves as the custodian of LaStill’s institutional memory and unspoken morale. Its primary function is not administrative, but custodial and symbolic.
-
Soul-Based Archiving: The LST-11.1.PHS: Paper Hedgehog Supervisor is a living, breathing (metaphorically) archive. It passively absorbs the emotional and intellectual residue of discarded drafts, storing the “soul” of failed ideas so that R&D may innovate without the burden of creative grief.
-
Morale Thermostat: The entity’s fluffiness coefficient is a direct indicator of overall corporate morale. A sleek, tightly-wound PHS indicates high stress and procedural rigidity. A slightly ruffled, “fluffed” appearance indicates a period of healthy creative output. LST-09.3.PA (Staff Psychologist) conducts weekly visual assessments.
-
Participation in Scientific Studies: The PHS is a willing participant in high-level R&D, particularly in studies concerning Neural-Responsive Materials. Its unique composition—being both object and sentient observer—makes it ideal for calibrating tools that must adapt to user intent. It is especially helpful in testing the emotional resonance of various grip textures.
OPERATIONAL PROTOCOLS:
-
The LST-11.1.PHS: Paper Hedgehog Supervisor requires no sustenance in the conventional sense, but does require a weekly offering of one (1) sheet of unmarked 20% cotton bond paper, placed on its designated “nesting desk” in the archival wing. This is believed to sustain its structural integrity.
-
Interaction should be respectful and professional. It is considered poor form to remove a document from its form without submitting a Form LST-11.1.PHS-7A (“Request for Substrate Reallocation”).
-
While it possesses no vocal apparatus, communication is achieved through the subtle rustling of its pages, which is interpreted by LST-09.3.PA (Staff Psychologist) and logged as official feedback.
CURRENT STATUS: Content. Slightly ruffled, indicating a positive and productive Q4 forecast.
SECURITY FOOTER: Attempts to staple, paperclip, or apply liquid adhesives to the Paper Hedgehog Supervisor are strictly forbidden and will result in mandatory re-orientation with LST-05.3 (Strategic Panic Coordinator). Its sentimental and operational value is immeasurable.
