The Consensus

TW-058 cannot be reliably contained or reproduced. M.A.L.I.C.E has established a controlled research programme. Groups of 12 screened individuals are assembled under monitored conditions. All conclusions reached are logged and cross-referenced against active investigation databases.

TW-058 is a phenomenon observed in groups of exactly 12 people who are simultaneously experiencing unstructured free time in an enclosed space. After approximately 90 minutes, all 12 individuals will simultaneously reach the same conclusion about an unrelated topic without having discussed it — often something highly specific and previously unknown to all of them. Conclusions reached by TW-058 groups have included: the location of a missing person (confirmed accurate), a mathematical proof not yet published, and the name of an individual currently at large from law enforcement. The mechanism is unknown.

TW-058 was identified through the missing person incident. An unrelated group of 12 coworkers on a team-building retreat simultaneously and without discussion wrote the same address on separate pieces of paper. The address was where the missing person was found.

No incident reports on file.
