Due to the unique properties and anomalous nature of DA-054, traditional containment procedures are not applicable. Instead, the following Secure Containment Guidelines are to be followed:
DA-054 is to be stored within a reinforced containment locker in Site-██. The locker must have a biometric lock requiring Level 4 clearance for access.
Access to DA-054 is restricted to authorized personnel only, specifically those with Level 3 security clearance or higher. Any requests for experimentation or study involving DA-054 must be approved by the Facility Director.
All interactions with DA-054 must be conducted while wearing Level C hazmat suits. The suit must include gloves made of non-conductive material to prevent direct contact with DA-054.
Any personnel exhibiting unusual behaviors or experiencing hallucinations after interacting with DA-054 must be immediately quarantined for psychological evaluation. If necessary, Class-A amnestics are to be administered to affected individuals.
Routine visual inspections of DA-054 are to be conducted on a monthly basis by trained personnel to monitor any changes in its condition or behavior.
Description:
DA-054 is an animate sabre of unknown origin and composition. It measures approximately 1.2 meters in length and displays intricate and enigmatic engravings on the hilt. The engravings appear to depict ancient symbols and hieroglyphics from various cultures throughout history, but their meaning and purpose remain undeciphered.
DA-054 exhibits anomalous properties when touched or wielded by a sentient being. The effects vary depending on the individual's psychological state and intentions. While the exact mechanisms are unknown, prolonged exposure to DA-054 has been observed to induce vivid hallucinations, altered states of consciousness, and, in extreme cases, temporary psychosis.
In addition to its psychological effects, DA-054 has demonstrated limited telepathic capabilities. Subjects who touch or hold DA-054 have reported hearing faint whispers and voices in their minds, often speaking in an unknown language. These voices are highly persuasive and have been known to influence decision-making processes, potentially leading to dangerous or self-destructive behavior.
Furthermore, DA-054 has shown the ability to manipulate nearby objects telekinetically, primarily during periods of heightened emotional stress or distress experienced by the wielder. This ability appears to be directly influenced by the psychological state of the user, leading to potentially dangerous situations.
It is important to note that DA-054 does not possess malevolent intent. Instead, it seems to act as a catalyst for preexisting psychological vulnerabilities, amplifying and distorting them in individuals who interact with it.
Addendum: Incident DA-054-01
On ██/██/20██, Researcher ██████, authorized for testing DA-054, became exposed to the anomalous properties of the object. After prolonged exposure, Researcher ██████ exhibited violent and erratic behavior, causing significant damage to the testing chamber and injuring two security personnel. Researcher ██████ was restrained and subsequently administered Class-A amnestics. Following this incident, testing protocols were revised, and the Secure Containment Guidelines were implemented.
Research into the origins, purpose, and potential neutralization of DA-054 is ongoing.
Note: DA-054's effects are unpredictable and potentially hazardous. Strict adherence to the Secure Containment Guidelines is paramount to prevent unnecessary risks and minimize potential harm to personnel. Any further inquiries regarding DA-054 must be directed to the Facility Director.
