me and the boys in the woods at 2 am

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF TEMPORAL PHENOMENA

We are currently receiving countless reports of an unidentified hostile organism that will be referred to as "Alternates". Until we have a complete understanding of the threat it is important to stay home, lock all doors and windows, and have access to a loaded ranged weapon at all times.

You will know if an Alternate exists solely based on their physical characteristics. If you see another person who looks identical to you, run away and hide. If you see a person that has a biologically impossible characteristic, run away and hide. If one manages to break into your home, refrain from any kind of communication or contact with the threat.

These intelligent lifeforms utilize elements of psychological warfare to take advantage of their victims. While we heavily discourage any kind of contact or communication with an Alternate, we make exceptions for attempts at executing them yourself.

IN THE EVENT OF AN ALTERNATE ENCOUNTER
FOLLOW THE "THINK" PRINCIPLE

T - TELL an authority figure about your encounter
H - HINDER the Alternate's movement
I - IDENTIFY the class type
N - NEUTRALIZE the Alternate (if safe to do so)
K -

KILL YOURSELF (There's not enough room for the two of us)

K - KNOW YOUR PLACE in reality

TYPE ONE - DOPPELGANGER

(Image of a man and her Alternate. The Alternate has slight face changes.)

TYPE THREE
(Image of a woman and her Alternate. The Alternate's face is blank.)
(Image of a man and her Alternate. The Alternate has a black, horrible face that stares upon its victim, longing for your death.)

VICTIM ONE - Mark Heathcliff
VICTIM TWO - Cesar Torres

Cesar: Hey, it's Cesar, I hope it's not too late.
Mark: No, it's fine, don't worry. What's up, are you alright?
Cesar: Yeah, it's not me, it's my mom. She's knocked out cold, and I have no idea why. I'm on my way to the ER, but could you do me a favor?
Mark: Yeah of course, what is it?
Cesar: I just need you to come over and turn on the cameras we have set up, you know the ones we installed after we were robbed?
Mark: Oh yeah, would you mind if I asked why?
Cesar: Well, she screamed really loud right before I found her on the ground. I, I just...
Mark: Well, do you have your doors and windows locked, like what the broadcast told us to do?
Cesar: Yeah, that's the weird part. Maybe she saw something? I don't, I don't know...
Mark: Alright, I mean, it shouldn't be too
