DA-032 - “The Teleporting Plant thing”

Object Class: Medium

Secure Containment Guidelines:

DA-032 is to be contained within a reinforced botanical containment chamber measuring 5 meters by 5 meters. The chamber should be equipped with airtight seals and monitored by at least two personnel at all times. The containment chamber is to be kept under constant surveillance via video monitoring equipment. Any signs of DA-032 attempting to breach containment should be reported immediately.

Description:

DA-032 is a unique plant specimen resembling a large fern (genus: Dicksonia) measuring approximately 2 meters in height. It possesses several anomalous properties, including the ability to teleport and manipulate its immediate environment.

DA-032's teleportation abilities are activated through an unknown mechanism. It can teleport itself to any location within a range of approximately 10 meters. The teleportation process is instantaneous and occurs without any discernible visual or auditory effects. DA-032 has demonstrated the capability to teleport through solid objects, such as walls and doors, making its containment challenging.

In addition to teleportation, DA-032 exhibits the ability to manipulate its surroundings. It has been observed altering the structure of its containment chamber, rearranging objects within its vicinity, and even levitating items up to 5 kilograms in weight. The exact mechanism by which DA-032 achieves these manipulations remains unknown, but it is hypothesized that it utilizes a form of telekinetic energy.

DA-032 displays signs of sentience, as it reacts to changes in its environment and exhibits a response to stimuli. It is particularly responsive to human presence, often reaching out with its tendrils towards observers. Physical contact with DA-032 has not resulted in any adverse effects thus far.

Attempts to propagate DA-032 have been unsuccessful. The plant does not produce seeds or exhibit any reproductive organs. Its growth is slow, with no discernible pattern or response to environmental factors. DA-032 requires minimal sustenance, deriving nutrients from the surrounding air and soil.

DA-032 was discovered in a remote rainforest in [REDACTED], where reports of unexplained disappearances and sightings of a "moving forest" were investigated by the Foundation. After several expeditions, DA-032 was successfully contained and transferred to Site-██ for study.

Addendum-032-1: Incident Report

On [DATE], during routine maintenance of DA-032's containment chamber, a staff member accidentally made direct physical contact with DA-032. The plant immediately exhibited heightened activity and emitted a bright green luminescence. Simultaneously, the staff member vanished, along with all surveillance footage of the incident.

Despite extensive searches and investigations, the staff member has not been located. It is believed that DA-032's teleportation ability may have been inadvertently triggered, resulting in the disappearance. Further caution is advised when handling DA-032 to avoid potential incidents of this nature.

Research into DA-032's teleportation and manipulation capabilities, as well as its potential connection to the missing staff member, is ongoing.

Note from Researcher ██████:

It is crucial to exercise extreme care when handling DA-032. The incident serves as a reminder of its unpredictable nature and the potential risks associated with its abilities. Containment procedures should be strictly followed to prevent any further accidents or breaches.
