DA-041 - "The Soulbound Nullblade"
Object Class: Safe
Secure Containment Guidelines:
DA-041 is housed a soundproofed chamber with low-intensity, full-spectrum lighting and restricted access to Level 3 personnel after mandatory psychological evaluations. Regular psychological support must be provided to those handling the object, and direct contact should be limited. Protective gloves are required for any physical interaction, and researchers should primarily use remote means for observation. DA-041 is strictly forbidden for combat use, and a secondary containment chamber is in place for emergencies. Continuous monitoring and reporting of any changes in its anomalous properties are essential, with a contingency plan (Protocol A-8 "Soulbane") for breach situations.
Description:
DA-041 is a unique katana of unknown origin, measuring approximately 1 meter in length. The blade appears to be made of an unidentified, pitch-black material that absorbs all light and reflects none. When held or wielded by any individual, it exudes an eerie aura of tranquility and seems to resonate with a mysterious power.
DA-041's most remarkable property is its inability to inflict physical harm on any living being, regardless of their vulnerability or resilience. Upon striking a target, the blade seems to phase through the object or organism, leaving no visible damage or traces of impact. This has been observed in all tests conducted so far.
However, what makes DA-041 an anomaly is its profound psychological impact on those who encounter it. When a subject touches or holds the katana, they experience vivid and intense visions or dreams of their deepest fears, regrets, or repressed memories. These visions can vary in length and intensity, but they always evoke strong emotional responses.
Subjects who handle DA-041 report feeling a sense of catharsis and introspection after experiencing these visions. Some even claim to have overcome long-standing emotional issues or traumas. The blade appears to have a profound therapeutic effect, leading to improvements in mental health and emotional well-being.
Due to its harmless nature and potential for psychological benefit, DA-041 has been classified as No Danger and is currently kept in a secure containment chamber. Access to the katana is restricted to personnel with Level 3 clearance or higher, and its usage is monitored closely to prevent potential misuse.
Note: While DA-041's ability to inflict physical harm is limited, it is essential to handle the object with caution due to its powerful psychological effects on individuals.
