DA-035 - “The Chrono-Labyrinth"
Object Class: Unknown/Medium
Secure Containment Guidelines:
DA-035 is to be contained within a dedicated containment chamber measuring 20 meters by 20 meters. The walls, floor, and ceiling of the chamber are to be constructed of reinforced concrete with a thickness of no less than 2 meters. The chamber is to be equipped with a robust surveillance system, including motion sensors and thermal imaging cameras, and monitored at all times.
Access to DA-035 is restricted to Level 3 personnel or higher. No personnel are to enter DA-035 without prior approval from the Site Director. All personnel entering the labyrinth must wear GPS-enabled tracking devices for real-time monitoring and safety purposes.
Description:
DA-035 refers to an extradimensional labyrinth located within an anomalous pocket dimension. The labyrinth is composed of a series of interconnected corridors, chambers, and open spaces, spanning an estimated area of 10 square kilometers. It is constructed from an unknown, non-terrestrial material that exhibits self-repairing properties.
DA-035 is a temporal anomaly that defies the laws of linear time. Time within the labyrinth is non-linear, causing temporal distortions, loops, and fluctuations. The chronology within DA-035 is unpredictable, and the flow of time can vary from one location to another. Time dilation, time reversal, and time acceleration have been observed within the labyrinth.
The internal layout of DA-035 is ever-changing, with corridors shifting, walls appearing or disappearing, and new chambers forming or collapsing. Explorations of the labyrinth have revealed that its configuration never repeats, making mapping or navigation impossible. Navigation attempts have shown that pathways that once led to an exit may now lead to dead ends or previously unexplored areas.
Expeditions into DA-035 have reported encountering a variety of phenomena, including:
Temporal Displacement: Personnel may experience time gaps or periods of missing time while navigating the labyrinth. Time discrepancies between individuals within the labyrinth are common, making coordination and communication difficult.
Temporal Loops: Certain sections of DA-035 exhibit looping patterns, trapping individuals in repetitive sequences of events. Time loops have been observed to range from minutes to several days.
Temporal Anomalies: Temporal irregularities manifest in various ways, such as accelerated aging, time compression, or time dilation. These anomalies are unpredictable and can affect individuals or objects within DA-035.
Temporal Entities: Reports suggest the presence of entities within DA-035 that possess anomalous temporal properties. These entities appear to be native to the labyrinth, displaying behaviors associated with temporal manipulation and showing no signs of external influence.
Exposure to DA-035's temporal anomalies has proven detrimental to human subjects, leading to psychological distress, temporal disorientation, and in some cases, physical deterioration. Prolonged exposure can result in permanent cognitive impairment or total disintegration of the subject's physical form.
Addendum:
Exploration of DA-035 is currently suspended due to the high risk and lack of effective navigation. Research efforts are focused on understanding the nature and origin of the labyrinth, as well as developing means to stabilize or regulate the temporal anomalies associated with DA-035.
