DA-097 : Formally DA-048
Llylenhyfh
Object Class: Medium
Secure Containment Guidelines:
DA-097 is to be contained within a 5-kilometer exclusion zone established around the perimeter of the Welsh town of Llylenhyfh. The exclusion zone is to be guarded by Foundation security personnel to prevent unauthorized access to DA-097. Surveillance cameras and motion sensors are to be installed at the perimeter of the exclusion zone to monitor any potential breaches.
The Foundation is to maintain a cover story that designates Llylenhyfh as a hazardous area undergoing decontamination due to an industrial accident. Civilians attempting to enter the area are to be deterred using non-lethal means, and amnestics are to be administered when necessary.
Description:
DA-097 refers to the Welsh-speaking town of Llylenhyfh, located in [REDACTED]. The town and its inhabitants exhibit anomalous properties, primarily centered around linguistic and cognitive phenomena. It is important to note that DA-097 is not a single entity or object but represents the entire town and its residents.
Linguistic Anomalies: The primary anomalous property of DA-097 is the exclusive use of an unknown language, designated DA-097-1. DA-097-1 bears no resemblance to any known human language, and attempts to decipher or understand it have been unsuccessful. Linguistic analysis indicates that DA-097-1 possesses a complex grammar and syntax system, suggesting a highly developed linguistic code. The language is primarily spoken but can also be written.
When individuals enter the town of Llylenhyfh, they begin to exhibit fluency in DA-097-1, regardless of their prior knowledge or language background. This phenomenon occurs spontaneously and without any apparent physical or biological alterations. Individuals affected by this anomalous effect display no difficulty in understanding or communicating with the town's inhabitants, even if they had no previous knowledge of DA-097-1.
Cognitive Anomalies: DA-097 also affects the cognitive processes of individuals within its vicinity. Residents of Llylenhyfh exhibit an enhanced ability to process complex information, solve problems, and learn new skills at an accelerated rate. Visitors to the town report heightened cognitive abilities during their stay, including increased memory retention, problem-solving capabilities, and improved linguistic skills. However, these enhancements diminish upon leaving the town, reverting individuals back to their original cognitive state.
Exploration of the town has revealed several structures and landmarks unique to Llylenhyfh, although their purpose remains unknown. Foundation researchers are actively investigating these anomalous structures and their potential relationship to the linguistic and cognitive phenomena associated with DA-097.
Addendum:
On ██/██/████, a containment breach occurred when a group of tourists inadvertently entered the town of Llylenhyfh. The tourists experienced the linguistic and cognitive anomalies associated with DA-097 and interacted with the town's inhabitants. Upon exiting Llnlenhyfh, the tourists retained their newfound cognitive abilities, leading to several breaches of sensitive information.
Amnestics were administered to the affected individuals, and efforts were made to retrieve any leaked information. A thorough review of containment procedures is currently underway to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
Research regarding the origin and nature of DA-097 and its associated anomalies is ongoing.
Note: The research team has proposed upgrading the object class of DA-097 to Unpredictable due to the potential impact of the cognitive anomalies on the general population. This proposal is currently under consideration by the Site Administrators.
