Threat Level 9.
Description: Z33-023 is the uncanny phenomenon of most successful folk in Carroll Cove seeming to have some sort of entity that may or may not be helping them out. From observations over the past century and a half, there has been an uncanny correlation between the most successful people in Carroll Cove and reports of otherworldly creatures hanging around them. Allegedly, they tend to be seen giving advice to specific individuals that eventually achieve something significant in their lifetime whether it be wealth, discovering something profound, or opening up a very successful business. By all means, not all instances of individuals finding success in Carroll Cove have had these types of reports, however, from the ones that were specifically investigated, there were evidence of such entities existing around them. It is hard to pinpoint a specific location as to where they come from or a specific trait that these entities share, however it is believed that they may come from the same source as residual energy signatures from where they were spotted show similar traits to each other. Henceforth that we have decided to refer to them as "Muses"
Surveillance: Any individual who has achieved a significant amount of fame or fortune must be under monitoring for 3 years since initial stardom. During this time, samples of the surrounding location in which they were in must be collected to test for residual energy that may have been left behind. If confirmed that a "muse" is present, then [REDACTED]
Current Status: Despite all the data collected over the 150 years, we still do not know much about these entities, however the looming question still prevails: Who are they, where do they come from, and what are they truly capable of? To date, these are individuals confirmed to have been exposed to a muse:

Notes: To date, everyone associated with Muses have confirmed to have met with a terrible fate, whether it be through hubris or unfortunate circumstances. The correlation of tragedy is undeniable. This article is currently pending approval to be moved to security level 5.
Current documented muses:
> Gil the Tenacious Tuna, mascot of Gil the Tenacious Tuna. Human fish cross hybrid stylized as a 2-dimensional cartoon within a 3-dimensional world.
> Unidentified triangular muse spotted spewing unknown substances from its hands onto tortilla chips at Nacho Jim’s opening
> Mushroom creature that’s constantly yelling
> Ashton - a lemon colored unidentified rodent, once thought to be a stuffed toy he carried everywhere
Addendum 1 Further analysis of the residual energy left by the muses show similarities with the [REDACTED] energy that is observed from to emanate from Z33-710 and Z33-003
Addendum 2 Following the disappearance of former Senior Administrator Doctor Christina Cognito, standard testing protocols were conducted in her laboratory and showed positive signs of the residue.
Addendum 3 Ashley Librarian Reed, granddaughter of Former Head of the Research and Testing Department William Reed has been found to have positive signs of the residue however no signs of significance has been seen through her contribution
