DA-084 - "The Lil’ Luminicent Plant"
Object Class: Safe enough
Secure Containment Guidelines:
DA-084 is to be contained within a hermetically sealed chamber at Site-██. The chamber must be equipped with air filtration systems capable of removing and analysing any anomalous substances emitted by DA-084. Access to DA-084 requires Level 3 clearance, and all personnel must wear hazmat suits when entering the containment area. The chamber's air filters are to be replaced weekly to ensure optimal containment and to prevent contamination of the surrounding environment.
Description:
DA-084, designated as "The Lil’ Luminicient Plant," by site staff, is a small, amorphous organism exhibiting unique bioluminescent and air purification properties. It is composed of an unknown organic material that closely resembles plant matter, although it lacks any identifiable cellular structure.
DA-084 emits a soft, pulsating bioluminescent glow, ranging in color from pale green to vibrant turquoise. This emission is constant and does not require any external stimuli. The intensity of the glow fluctuates but is generally bright enough to illuminate its immediate vicinity.
The primary anomalous property of DA-084 is its exceptional ability to purify the air in its proximity. When present in an enclosed space, DA-084 rapidly absorbs airborne toxins, pollutants, and harmful gases, rendering them inert and effectively purifying the surrounding atmosphere. The air purification process occurs through unknown mechanisms and does not produce any byproducts. Contaminants absorbed by DA-084 are irreversibly neutralized and incorporated into its own structure.
Additionally, DA-084 exhibits an inherent resilience to environmental conditions, allowing it to survive in a wide range of atmospheres, including those with low oxygen content or high levels of toxicity. It is capable of sustaining itself through photosynthesis, despite its anomalous composition and lack of identifiable chlorophyll.
Secure containment of DA-084 primarily focuses on preventing accidental exposure to its purified air, as prolonged inhalation of the purified atmosphere may have unpredictable effects on human physiology and mental state. Limited experiments have shown that prolonged exposure to the purified air can induce mild euphoria, heightened sensory perception, and improved respiratory function. However, further research is required to understand the long-term effects and potential risks associated with prolonged exposure to DA-084's anomalous properties.
Addendum:
Attempts to propagate or replicate DA-084 have been unsuccessful. The organism does not reproduce through conventional means and shows no response to standard cultivation techniques. All efforts to dissect or analyze DA-084's structure have also proved futile, as any attempts to damage or manipulate the organism result in immediate degradation and disintegration.
Research into DA-084's origin, purpose, and potential applications in air purification technologies is ongoing. Due to its unique properties and potential benefits, further investigation and controlled studies are necessary to explore the full range of DA-084's capabilities while ensuring its secure containment.
