Object Class: Safe
Secure Containment Guidelines:
DA-044 is to be kept in a secure storage locker at Site-██. Access to DA-044 requires Level 2 clearance, and any personnel seeking interaction with it must submit a formal request to Dr. ████. Interaction with DA-044 is restricted to designated personnel for testing and research purposes only.
Description:
DA-044 is a personalized birthday card measuring 12.7 cm x 17.8 cm, constructed from standard cardstock. It outwardly appears as an ordinary birthday card, featuring various illustrations and decorative elements commonly associated with birthday celebrations. The front cover of the card bears the phrase "Happy Birthday [RECIPIENT'S NAME]!" in vibrant colors, with the recipient's name automatically generated and printed in a visually appealing font.
Upon opening DA-044, the card's interior reveals a handwritten message that is uniquely tailored to the recipient's personality and characteristics. The message displays an in-depth understanding of the recipient, including personal experiences, memories, and shared moments with a close relative (typically a parent or grandparent). Remarkably, DA-044 references specific events and sentiments significant to the recipient's life, even those unknown to others.
DA-044 possesses the ability to adapt and modify its message according to the recipient's emotional state and personal preferences. It consistently generates messages that elicit positive emotions, such as joy, love, and nostalgia. The content of the card often incorporates phrases and references that hold profound emotional value to the recipient and their familial relationships.
Research indicates that the close relative mentioned in the card's message is consistently deceased at the time of interaction with DA-044. The source of this information remains unexplained, as DA-044 does not possess any anomalous means of gathering personal data.
The effects of DA-044 are limited to its handwritten message. The card does not possess any harmful or dangerous properties and does not exhibit any anomalies when removed from its envelope or when replicated through photocopying.
Addendum: Incident DA-044-1
During a testing session, a E-Class personnel received DA-044 without prior knowledge of its anomalous properties. The recipient, whose mother had passed away two years prior, received a message referring to a recent conversation with their mother. This led to severe distress and emotional instability, necessitating immediate psychological intervention and termination of the test. Subsequent testing on individuals who have recently experienced a loss is prohibited.
Note: During testing, an attempt was made to manually alter the recipient's name on DA-044. However, the card autonomously regenerated, reverting back to the original recipient's name within a five-minute timeframe. The mechanisms by which DA-044 detects and rectifies modifications to its personalized elements are currently unknown.
DA-044's remarkable ability to create emotionally impactful messages tailored to the recipient's personality and history makes it a valuable resource for providing emotional support and fostering positive mental well-being. Further research is recommended to comprehend the anomalous mechanisms underlying DA-044's knowledge and to explore potential applications for assisting Foundation personnel and individuals within controlled environments.
