DA-052 - “The Enigma Ink”
Object Class: Medium
Secure Containment Guidelines:
DA-052 is to be stored in a specially designed, sealed containment chamber at Site-██. The containment chamber is to be constructed with non-reflective surfaces to minimize visual exposure and prevent accidental activation of its cognitohazardous properties. The chamber must be equipped with a ventilation system that filters any airborne particles to prevent inhalation.
Access to DA-052 is restricted to Level 3 personnel or higher with authorization from the Site Director. All personnel entering the containment chamber must undergo thorough psychological evaluations before and after exposure to DA-052. Any signs of psychological distress or alteration should be reported immediately to the on-site medical staff.
Description:
DA-052 is a mysterious ink substance contained within a small obsidian vial. The origins and composition of the ink are currently unknown. When written or drawn with DA-052, the resulting symbols and patterns have profound effects on the observer's mind.
The cognitive effects induced by DA-052 vary depending on the nature of the symbols and patterns produced. Common effects include hallucinations, cognitive distortions, and altered perceptions of reality. These effects intensify with prolonged exposure to DA-052, eventually leading to irreversible psychological damage and mental collapse. It is crucial to limit exposure to DA-052 to minimize the risk to personnel.
DA-052 is highly contagious and can transfer its properties through direct physical contact or visual exposure. It is imperative that any personnel coming into contact with DA-052 or its effects wear protective gloves and eyewear to prevent accidental contamination.
Testing on DA-052 is currently suspended due to the unpredictable and potentially hazardous nature of its effects. Research efforts are focused on understanding the origin of DA-052 and developing effective countermeasures for its containment and neutralization.
Addendum: Incident DA-052-1
On ██/██/20██, Dr. █████, a Level 4 researcher, conducted unauthorized experiments with DA-052, resulting in a containment breach. Dr. █████ was exposed to DA-052 for an extended period and subsequently exhibited severe cognitive distortions and hallucinations.
Efforts to subdue Dr. █████ were unsuccessful, and he managed to breach multiple containment chambers, releasing several other anomalous objects. SOU Alpha 7 was dispatched to contain the situation. After a ██-hour operation, Dr. █████ was terminated to prevent further harm to personnel and secure the affected objects.
Lessons learned from this incident emphasize the importance of adherence to containment protocols and the necessity of strict access control for DA-052. Unauthorized experimentation or exposure to DA-052 is strictly prohibited, and severe disciplinary actions will be taken against those who violate these guidelines.
Further research into the properties and effects of DA-052 is ongoing, with the primary objective of developing a reliable containment solution and potential amnestics for affected individuals.
Note: Due to the inherent risks associated with DA-052, containment procedures and research protocols should be revised regularly to ensure the utmost safety of all personnel involved.
