I – Folklore
Norman is widely known as the land of blooming flower fields—stretching from the rolling hills of ZN-02 to the low valleys of ZN-15. Thanks to its mild climate and fertile soil, flowers bloom almost all year round. Yet, this very beauty conceals a quiet fear that lingers in the hearts of the people.
A strange curse is whispered among the locals: that certain flower fields appear at odd times, far too vibrant, too symmetrical, too… perfect. These fields go by many names—"Cursed Meadow,""The Bloom of Death,"—but the most common term is simply "The False Flower Field."
Stories claim these fields sometimes grow right beside real ones, blending seamlessly into a vast ocean of petals. Those who unknowingly step into them vanish within five minutes, leaving no trace behind.
An old woman from ZN-04 once recounted:
"I saw a child run into that field to pick flowers. Five minutes later, there was nothing left—just a patch of dry earth, and a single fresh bloom sprouting where the child once stood."
A handful of survivors—those who merely stood at the edge—say they heard soft whispers, like a lullaby carried by the wind. The more one listens, the stronger the pull. And those who follow the voice? They never come back.

II – Designation and Code
Entity Code: NOR-007
Alias:The False Flower Field, Bloom of Death, Field That Feeds
Known Areas of Occurrence: All zones within Norman, with higher frequency in ZN-02, ZN-04, ZN-11, and ZN-15 due to the presence of real flower fields.
Status:Uncontained – Due to its transient nature and perfect mimicry of local flora, NOR-007 remains one of the most elusive entities under NOR observation.
Observation Note:
"Treat all unrecorded or recently expanded flower fields as high-risk until fully verified by NOR Division CRRT or DOC teams."
--------------------------------------------------------
III – Hazard Classification
Veil Tier:Tier III(potential escalation to Tier IV under specific conditions)
Threat Profile:NOR-007 presents a camouflage-based existential threat due to its indistinguishable mimicry of real-world flower fields. Victims are lured into the entity's domain, where they are absorbed into the ground and converted into biological nourishment within five minutes of entry.
Primary Threats:
Disappearance and dissolution of victims without physical remains.
Infiltration of populated areas by imitating adjacent or familiar landscapes.
Lack of sensory cues distinguishing the entity from real environments.
Escalation Risk:If NOR-007 evolves the ability to replicate entire ecosystems or disguise itself amidst human-made gardens and agricultural zones, it could qualify for Tier IV reclassification.
Survivability:Extremely low. No victims have survived after crossing the perimeter of the false field.Detection within the first minute may allow NOR personnel to intervene remotely, but this is rarely achievable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV – Identifiable Characteristics
External Appearance:NOR-007 does not possess a clearly defined physical form like other entities. Instead, it perfectly replicates the appearance of a natural flower field, simulating flower species, flying insects, natural scents, and even wind movement. These fields can stretch over hundreds of square meters and are often located adjacent to or seamlessly connected with real flower fields, making visual distinction nearly impossible.
Potential Warning Signs:
All flowers in the area bloom uniformly, regardless of season, weather, or climate.
No signs of herbivorous animals or actual pests—any such appearances are purely fabricated.
After standing in the field for more than one minute, individuals may experience mild dizziness, fatigue, or drowsiness—an early sign of biological influence.
No visible footpaths or human tracks, even if the field appears long-established.
Beneath the surface, root structures do not follow natural botanical patterns—instead, they form a closed biological network capable of contraction and biomass absorption.
Behavior when Provoked:If it detects an attempt to burn or destroy the field, NOR-007 may simulate the voices or appearances of loved ones to lure the target closer—after which it will proceed to neutralize them as usual.

V – Observation Log
Date: 04/05/2022Recording Division: CRRT (Critical Response and Retrieval Team) – Zone ZN-08Notes:A local patrol unit reported the sudden appearance of an unusual flower field adjacent to an existing natural one near the village of Mirava. Upon inspection, no human or animal footprints were found, although the field appeared aged.CRRT deployed a drone-mounted camera into the suspicious area. After approximately 4 minutes and 38 seconds, the signal was lost. The final transmitted footage revealed a living root-like structure expanding toward the drone.
Date: 07/05/2022Recording Division: DOC (Department of Observation and Cataloging)Notes:Geographic data analysis for ZN-08 confirmed that the flower field identified as NOR-007 did not exist in satellite imagery taken just a week earlier. This supports the conclusion that the entity can rapidly manifest and relocate. The entity was given the provisional designation NOR-007.
Date: 10/05/2022Recording Division: ISU (Intelligence Surveillance Unit)Notes:During a rescue attempt for a civilian who had wandered into the NOR-007 field, Senior Agent R. Malden entered the area with a portable bio-monitoring device. After 2 minutes and 49 seconds, his biological signal ceased entirely. A final audio recording captured a whisper resembling the voice of Malden's deceased mother, who passed away 12 years ago.
Date: 11/05/2022Recording Division: CCU (Campaign Coordination Unit)Notes:A field team collected air and soil samples for analysis. The results showed nitrogen and potassium levels exceeding standard agricultural levels by 14 times, suggesting that NOR-007 biologically converts living organisms into nutrients for its "flowers."
Date: 13/05/2022Report submitted directly to the High Council of NORStatus:A Tier-4 alert was triggered in ZN-08 after 17 civilians vanished within 48 hours. Surveillance footage from Mirava village captured the residents voluntarily walking into NOR-007 without signs of resistance or fear.The High Council immediately ordered a 10-day quarantine of Zone ZN-08 and dispatched three additional tactical units from Zones ZN-04 and ZN-06 for reinforcement.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
VI – Time and Conditions of Appearance
NOR-007 does not follow any fixed temporal cycle.It may appear randomly at any point throughout the year, regardless of season or weather conditions. However, statistical reports indicate a higher frequency of appearances during early spring and late summer, when natural flowers are in full bloom, enhancing the entity's camouflage effectiveness.
Favorable conditions for NOR-007's appearance include:
Areas with natural flower fields or open terrain with fertile soil.
Locations near remote rural settlements where surveillance is minimal.
Low human activity within a 5-kilometer radius.
The entity typically remains in a specific location for a duration ranging from 7 to 14 days, after which it disappears without leaving any clear trace. In several documented cases, the area left behind becomes withered and infertile, unable to support agriculture for years.
Special Note:Predicting the next appearance site of NOR-007 is virtually impossible, as it shows no discernible pattern or early warning signals. All attempts to "tag" or "track" the entity have failed due to its unstable structure and its inherent ability to destroy biological or mechanical monitoring devices.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VII – Prevention Methods or Communication
NOR-007 has no confirmed communication methods.All attempts at communication, ranging from using broadcast devices, light signals, to speaking in multiple languages, have not yielded any clear responses from the entity.
Prevention Methods:
Avoid approaching unknown flower fieldsIf a flower field appears suddenly, especially in areas where flowers were not previously present or during off-season periods, immediately mark the area as a suspected NOR-007 contaminated zone.
Observe for consistency and natural boundaries
Genuine flower fields typically exhibit uneven colors, varying flower densities, and a mixture of grass or wild plants.
Fields created by NOR-007 are too perfect, with uniform flower density, no weeds, absence of natural insects, and complete silence from wind or animals.
Do not cross the boundary without level IV protective equipmentWhen in doubt, agents must use biological scanning devices and soil pressure sensors. Entering without verification will result in disappearance within 5 minutes.
Establish temporary isolation zones within a 500-meter radiusAll suspected affected areas must be sealed and marked with level red warning signs. Local residents should be evacuated immediately and monitored for psychological effects for 72 hours.
Mark and partition real flower fieldsNatural flower fields must be verified by the NOR organization, documented regularly, and clearly marked with remote identification devices or local signaling systems to distinguish them from counterfeit entities. This will help reduce confusion and accidents.
Warning:
"One wrong step, forever turned to fertilizer."— Standard warning for NOR-007.

VIII – Containment Procedures
1. Containment Characteristics:
The containment procedure for entity NOR-007 requires an extremely strict control system. This entity cannot be captured or relocated, so the entire control process depends on preventing the appearance of fake flower fields.
2. Specific Containment Steps:
Area Isolation: Any area suspected to be affected or where the entity is present must be immediately sealed off, using biological barriers, electric fences, and danger zone warning signals. This area should be secured by high-ranking agents equipped with biological protection gear and capable of identifying the entity.
Continuous Monitoring: Biological sensors and security cameras will be installed in the affected areas to monitor the appearance of the entity continuously. Any abnormal signs must be reported and addressed immediately.
Investigation Methodology: High-ranking agents will conduct verification research to differentiate between real and fake flower fields. Biological techniques will be used to detect the presence of NOR-007 through soil and air samples.
Training and Testing: NOR personnel must be properly trained to recognize signs of NOR-007. Special attention should be given to regular assessments of their ability to identify and respond to emerging situations during fieldwork.
3. In Case of an Incident:
Severe Cases: If any case involving the disappearance of individuals or groups within an area with fake flower fields occurs, the area must be immediately isolated, and a special response team should be summoned.
Search and Recovery: Once the entity is identified or confirmed, the process of recovering missing victims may require special technology or expert teams from higher-level units of the organization.
4. Important Warning:
This containment process entirely relies on the ability to prevent and differentiate between real and fake flower fields, as there is no means to capture or eliminate the entity. NOR must focus on maintaining safety for individuals by upholding stringent control procedures.
Important Note: The containment process depends on collaboration and control across multiple levels of the organization. If the initial control steps are not followed, the entity will continue to cause significant damage in the region.
