TIM-DOC-002
Observed during a severe overnight storm coinciding with the return of three deep bell tones originating beneath the archive foundations. Following the third resonance sequence a series of large waterborne impressions were observed leading toward the sealed furnace stairwell. Adjacent to the final visible impression was a warning message scratched into damp stone reading "DO NOT OPEN" in handwriting identified as Medusa's own. The inscription disappeared before daylight documentation could be completed. Additional observations included simultaneous lantern dimming throughout the conservatory reported vocal phenomena beneath the foundations and persistent seawater leakage from the furnace stairwell entrance despite surrounding corridors remaining dry. No physical evidence remained by morning beyond witness testimony and preserved notes.
