A mysterious entity, the Masked resemble a sentient Greek comedy or tragedy mask that has possessed the body of a previous Asset to the Company. These lifeless husks wander aimlessly, attempting to mimic the mannerisms of other Assets in an attempt to lure them in. As of the time of documenting this entry, the Masked are known to:
Copy the uniforms of Assets present on the moon.
Copy the voices of words spoken by Assets and repeat them.
Follow any living Asset they encounter.
Lie in ambush if they are anticipating the appearance of an Asset.
Hide their Mask until entering close proximity of a living Asset.
If a Masked spots an Asset, they will remain motionless, staring, before entering a sprint towards their target. Once an Asset has come into close contact with a Masked, their mask will "bleed" from their helmet, revealing their true nature. The Masked will often raise their arms in preparation to grab an Asset, and if they succeed, they will convert the Asset into one of their own through the use of a bloody vomit. As survival rates of attempting to revive Assets who succumb to a mask are noted to be at a steady 0%, all employees who come into contact with this entity should be considered KIA.
Be cautious around other Assets. Try and communicate with them to ascertain if they are Human or Masked.
Teaming up with another Asset may be vital for survival against this entity. Using a shovel or stun grenade could potentially save your ally's life if they are being restrained.
In the case that you may have to engage the Masked in combat, it may be best to make your body unrecoverable by the entity. This way, they will not have more numbers to convert to their own.
If you are operating a Teleporter on the ship, be aware of employee signals on the radar that are not linked to your terminal. If one of these blips reaches an employee, you may not want to consider recovering their newly converted body.
