Deviation E-0034A-H, also known as the Shattered Skybox Occurrences is a dangerous, randomly occurring event that causes the current skybox in a game to warp and distort, eventually settling into a "shattered" state. The lighting's overall tint also gradually changes to match the color of the new skybox. These distorted skybox is often very intricate, and many players stop playing the game entirely to stare at the skybox. It is unknown what causes E-0034A-H to appear and shatter the skybox, it seems to be entirely random.
The Shattered Skybox Occurrences were originally first reported to RDD when an instance of E-0034A-H appeared in multiple "Egg funnel" games during the 2008 Eggstravaganza. This event alone created over 250 instances of H-0034B-S, which can still be found in these games to this day.
Behavior
It is advisable to not look at the sky if you notice any distortion or movement, as users have been documented to stare at the sky for hours or days at a time. Once a user looks at the distorted sky in any way for 5-10 minutes they will slowly begin to turn into an instance of H-0034B-S.
Users report "shattered" skyboxes to have a striped, fractal-like, distorted appearance. Reports vary in details such as colors and types of distortion. Users that look away from the skybox just fast enough to not become H-0034B-S describe the feeling of staring at the skybox as "horrifying, but addictive in a way". Such users should be kept away from E-0034A-H instances as the likelihood of them becoming H-0034B-S is greatly increased.

[COMPANY NOTICE]
All agents that don't bare a high enough sanity to resist the urge to gaze at the skybox will immediately turn into H-0034B-S and will be considered as "lost" to the deviation. Please have agents be mentally prepared before conducting research on 0034A.

DATABASE DEVIATION H-0034B-S
Skygazers
"Isn't it so beautiful?"
DAMAGE TYPE: N/A
DEVIATION TYPE: Humanoid
DANGER LEVEL: Secure
Deviation H-0034B-S, also known as Skygazers, are passive Humanoid entities that are AFK in some servers containing E-0034A-H. Instances of H-0034B-S have never been seen moving or leaving the server. Very shortly after the H-0034B-S instance is formed, it is still possible to communicate with H-0034B-S. Most Skygazers have been in the game for multiple months, and experiments show that once they look at the sky, Skygazers do not require food, water, or sleep to survive.
Recording Instance 0001SB 05/23/20XX
The following is a documented conversation from a RDD agent and a Skygazer. (For ease of telling each speaker apart, P represents Player, S represents Skygazer.)
> P: Why are you looking at the sky?
> S: It's so beautiful.
> P: Do you know why the sky looks like that?
> S: The skybox is a barrier. It's broken now.
> P: Wouldn't playing the game be more fun than looking at the sky?
(5 minutes pass with no response.)
> P: Hello?
(The Skygazer did not respond to any further attempt at communication, after one hour the agent left the game.)
It is advised to leave the server immediately if you see a Skygazer, as they are a key indicator of the presence of E-0034A-H.
[COMPANY NOTICE]
Skygazers are no longer considered to be humans, do not attempt to sympathize with them.
