DA-074 is to be contained within a reinforced botanical containment chamber at Site-██. The chamber should maintain low-light conditions and a controlled temperature range of 20-25 degrees Celsius. Regular watering, fertilization, and maintenance of DA-074 should be carried out by E-Class personnel under the supervision of assigned researchers. Any instances of anomalous growth or behavior must be promptly reported to the Site Director.
Description: DA-074 is an anomalous Zanzibar Gem (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) exhibiting several abnormal properties. Physically, DA-074 appears identical to a non-anomalous specimen of the species, with glossy, dark green, fleshy leaves. However, it displays the following anomalous traits:
Rapid Growth and Reproduction: DA-074 exhibits an accelerated growth rate, reaching full maturity within an abnormally short period. It also possesses an anomalous reproductive capacity, producing offspring at an exceptional rate. Each offspring emerges fully mature and manifests the same anomalous properties as the parent plant.
Reality Distortion: DA-074 possesses the ability to subtly distort reality within its immediate vicinity. This effect is primarily observed as minor spatial and temporal distortions, causing objects to transiently disappear, relocate, or appear in unexpected locations. Visual illusions and temporal anomalies are also reported. These distortions are unpredictable and tend to occur during periods of stress or agitation.
Emotional Manipulation: DA-074 emits a low-level psychic influence that affects human emotions. Individuals in close proximity to DA-074 report heightened feelings of tranquility, happiness, and contentment. Prolonged exposure to the plant can lead to emotional dependency and a reluctance to leave its vicinity. However, extended exposure has also been known to induce apathy and emotional detachment in certain individuals.
Adaptive Mimicry: DA-074 possesses an exceptional ability to mimic its surroundings. It can alter the shape, color, and texture of its leaves, allowing it to blend seamlessly with nearby objects or camouflage itself from potential threats. This adaptive mimicry serves as both a defensive mechanism and a means to attract prey.
Ongoing research aims to ascertain the origin and limitations of DA-074's anomalous properties. Efforts are being made to determine whether these traits are inherent to the species or if they have developed as a result of exposure to unidentified external factors.
Addendum: Incident DA-074-1
During a routine inspection, a researcher inadvertently made physical contact with DA-074, resulting in a sudden surge of reality distortions within the containment chamber. Objects disappeared and reappeared in different locations, while temporal fluctuations caused significant confusion among personnel. Approximately 30 minutes were required to restore stability after isolating DA-074 and implementing amnestic treatments.
Following this incident, physical contact with DA-074 is strictly prohibited unless authorized by Level 4 personnel.
Note: DA-074 possesses potential value for research on reality manipulation. However, its unpredictable nature and potential psychological effects mandate careful handling and further investigation.
