I – Folklore
It is said that at strange times of the year, those who get lost or exploration teams wandering in the land of Norman may come across an old, dusty field hospital, dimly lit yet eerily functional. Although no local map records its existence, the building still appears—often after a storm, or during nights shrouded in heavy fog.
Locals call it "The Field Hospital", a place of mysterious origin. According to legend, if someone is severely injured and lost in the wilderness, they might be "found" by this hospital. Survivors report being healed by a doctor in a white coat, whose face is always obscured by a surgical mask and yellow-tinted lights. This figure is simply referred to as 008-A.
Once the treatment is complete, the hospital vanishes, leaving behind only a scorched patch of earth or a crumbled concrete slab—no one has ever managed to find the building twice. Some believe the hospital is a blessing amid the horrors of Norman, while others suspect it appears to "collect" human biological data for a deeper, unknown purpose.

II – Code and Designation
Official Designation:Entity Code: NOR-008Common Name:The Field Hospital
Alternate Reference:
Mobile Healing Unit
Entity 008-A (The Doctor)
Wandering Clinic
Status:Active – Intermittent AppearanceUnder continuous monitoring by NOR's Divisions: ISU (Investigation and Surveillance Unit) and CRRT (Critical Response and Recovery Team). All personnel are advised to report sightings within 20 minutes of initial contact for real-time tracking efforts.
------------------------------------------------------------------
III – Hazard Classification
Veil Class: Tier IThreat Level: Negligible – Benevolent Anomaly
Despite its eerie and unexpected appearance, NOR-008 is classified as Tier I due to its non-hostile nature, positive interactions with civilians, and absence of aggressive behavior. Unlike most entities cataloged by NOR, NOR-008 exhibits clear beneficial capabilities and no recorded cases of psychological or physical harm.
However, due to its unpredictable appearance, mobility, and unknown origin, NOR-008 remains under light surveillance by the ISU and DOC divisions.
Precautionary Note:Unauthorized entry into the field hospital outside active presence of Entity 008-A is discouraged, as the entity has shown selective activity, and the structure disappears entirely after a fixed period of 7 days.
------------------------------------------------------------------
IV – Identifiable Characteristics
NOR-008 appears as a makeshift military-style field hospital, typically composed of white or faded olive-green canvas tents arranged in a semicircular or grid formation. The structure emerges seemingly overnight in uninhabited or remote regions and is always accompanied by minimal signs of disturbance to the environment, as if it "folds into place" rather than being constructed.
Inside, the facility is fully equipped with medical tools, power sources, lighting, and even functioning sterilization equipment, though none of it is traceable to known manufacturers or military supplies.
The primary feature of NOR-008 is Entity 008-A – a humanoid being dressed in outdated military medic uniform, bearing no visible insignia. Its face is always obscured by a surgical mask and shadow cast by its cap, preventing identification. Entity 008-A does not speak but responds to gestures and visible injuries. It performs medical procedures with extreme precision and has been observed to heal injuries ranging from minor abrasions to life-threatening wounds.
Notable Identifiers:
Temperature Drop: Within a 10-meter radius of the hospital, temperature decreases by 2–3°C.
No Communication Devices Function Inside: Radios, phones, and recording tools become inoperable within the tents.
Presence of Subtle Whispers: Some patients report hearing faint whispers in unknown languages during treatment.
One Entry, No Exit: Once a patient enters, they are treated and escorted out by 008-A; unauthorized entry or surveillance attempts have failed or triggered immediate disappearance of the structure.

V – Surveillance Log
[EXCERPT FROM NOR SURVEILLANCE AND INCIDENT REPORT – DOC/ISU]
Date: 14/02/2023Location: Remote forest area near ZN-14Agent Assigned: Agent R. Lorne (Quyền lực cấp 3)
[06:47] – Drone reconnaissance detects anomalous canvas structures not present in previous satellite scans. Temperature drop noted in the surrounding 20-meter radius.
[07:30] – Agent R. Lorne, suffering from a fractured femur sustained during a prior mission, is instructed to enter the structure to test reported healing phenomena.
[07:34] – Agent enters alone. External communication cuts off immediately.
[08:02] – Agent exits the tent unaided. Injury appears completely healed. Subsequent scans show full skeletal and tissue regeneration.
"I didn't see its face. The doctor didn't speak—just gestured for me to lie down. I was... awake the entire time. It didn't use anesthesia, but I felt no pain. Just silence... and a kind of humming sound I can't describe."
Date: 05/08/2023Location: Abandoned rural district near ZN-19Unscheduled Appearance: YESEntity 008-A Present: Confirmed
Incident: A convoy transporting injured civilians following a local disaster was diverted due to flooding. One of the field teams stumbled upon NOR-008. Four individuals with burns and internal bleeding were taken inside. All emerged within 40 minutes—injury-free, with no recollection of being treated.
Note: One civilian claimed to see "more than one doctor," although surveillance footage confirmed only Entity 008-A was present.
Date: 09/11/2023Location: Southern ridge, ZN-03Message Logged: Emergency Alert from DOC Unit 3
"We attempted to set up perimeter surveillance after the last incident. At exactly 03:12, all camera feeds went dark. Units Alpha and Delta inside the zone are now unresponsive. NOR-008 has vanished by 04:00. We found nothing left but burn marks and a surgical scalpel embedded in a tree trunk 40 meters from the last known site."
------------------------------------------------------------------
VI – Time and Conditions of Appearance
The entity NOR-008, designated as "Field Hospital," appears completely at random, without any predictable temporal patterns. However, current statistical analyses from the DOC division reveal the following characteristics:
Frequency of appearance: on average, 1–2 times per year.
Duration of existence: up to 7 days from the moment of appearance.
Locations: it can manifest in any region across the Norman territory, but is most commonly found in:
Remote or uninhabited areas (dense forests, open plains, abandoned towns).
Places recently affected by natural disasters or armed conflict (appearance probability increases by a factor of three).
Zones with weak or disrupted radio signals.
Signs of appearance:
Local temperature drops by 3–5°C compared to surrounding areas.
One to three white tents emerge, resembling standard 20th-century military field hospital tents.
A faded red "✚" symbol appears on the fabric of the tents.
From the moment of appearance, a soft, constant beeping—similar to that of a heart monitor—can be heard within a 10-meter radius.
Notes:
Surveillance cameras often experience signal interference upon the entity's manifestation.
Electronic devices in the area may reset or shut down during the entity's active period.
When the 7-day time limit is reached, the entire field hospital vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only minor residual items such as used gauze or shattered medical equipment.
------------------------------------------------------------------
VII – Prevention or Communication Methods
1. Prevention:
Entity NOR-008 exhibits no hostile behavior and does not pose any direct threat to humans. However, due to its unknown origin and nature, the following preventive measures are enforced in specific situations:
Avoid approaching the entity within the first 2 hours of its appearance. During this phase, electronic devices tend to experience severe interference, and the structure may not be fully stabilized.
Do not attempt to dismantle or move any part of the "field hospital." Any form of aggressive interference may cause the entity to vanish instantly.
Always carry a radio device or mechanical watch when approaching, to monitor electromagnetic disruption.
Do not remain overnight in the affected area unless under exceptional circumstances and with explicit authorization from the CCU or DOC.
2. Communication:
Entity NOR-008-A (the doctor) is the only known instance to emerge from within the field hospital and is capable of interaction:
Appears as a figure wearing a white lab coat, surgical mask, and round glasses, approximately 1.75 meters tall.
Does not speak; instead communicates solely through gestures and actions.
Will not engage with uninjured individuals but is willing to provide immediate medical treatment to those who are wounded.
Does not permit removal of any medical instruments or supplies from within the facility.
3. NOR Recommendations:
Interaction with NOR-008 is not forbidden, but all encounters must be documented in detail, including behavior and any observable changes.
Do not attempt to exploit its healing ability for experimentation. Past incidents indicate that individuals who intentionally inflicted injuries to "test" its limits never returned after entering the tent.
------------------------------------------------------------------
VIII – Containment Procedures
Due to its self-disappearance after exactly 7 days of appearance, NOR-008 currently does not require long-term physical containment. However, to ensure safety and effective data collection, NOR has established the following temporary containment procedures:
1. Upon Discovery:
ISU (Surveillance and Response Unit) must immediately cordon off an area with a 500-meter radius around the entity and establish a medium-level warning zone.
CRRT (Crisis Response and Tactical Team) will be dispatched to the scene within 3 hours of confirmation of the entity's appearance.
DOC (Documentation & Recording Department) and ND (Anomaly Analysis) teams will be sent to monitor the entity's behavior and record all interactions.
2. During its Existence:
No more than 5 individuals are permitted inside the containment area at any given time.
All interactions with NOR-008-A must be filmed and reported back to the Executive Director of NOR within 24 hours.
No dangerous or coercive experiments should be conducted on the entity under any circumstances.
3. After Disappearance:
DOC will immediately collect all residual samples or traces (if any).
ND will analyze the impact of the entity on the surrounding area: terrain alteration, residual energy, and effects on individuals who interacted with it.
The entire area will be placed under special monitoring for 30 days to prevent the possibility of an unpredicted reappearance.
