DA-105: Living Sponge
Object Class: Safe Enough
Secure Containment Guidelines:
Containment of DA-105, designated as "Living Sponge," is of utmost importance to prevent any potential anomalous effects. The following Secure Containment Guidelines have been established:
Containment Chamber: DA-105 is to be housed within a specialized containment chamber measuring 2m x 2m x 2m. The chamber's walls must be constructed from reinforced composite materials to withstand potential growth or expansion of the entity.
Environmental Control: Maintain a consistent environment of 70% humidity and a temperature range between 20°C to 25°C within the containment chamber. Fluctuations in these conditions must be minimized to prevent stress on DA-105.
Nutrient Supply: Provide a nutrient-rich solution through a designated feeding tube connected to the containment chamber. Consult with botanists and biologists to determine the optimal composition of the solution for sustaining the entity's health.
Description:
DA-105, colloquially referred to as the "Living Sponge," is an anomalous entity resembling a standard household sponge. Notably, it exhibits unique biological characteristics, including growth, mobility, and rudimentary communication.
Measuring approximately 20cm x 20cm x 5cm, DA-105's surface features a porous and flexible membrane similar to that of an ordinary sponge. It displays responsiveness to external stimuli such as light, touch, and humidity changes. Remarkably, DA-105 absorbs moisture from its surroundings to sustain itself.
Upon closer examination, researchers have discovered microorganisms and fungal species within DA-105's cellular structure. These entities appear to engage in a symbiotic relationship, contributing to the entity's continued vitality.
Despite its simplistic structure, DA-105 showcases a propensity for slow and deliberate movement in response to light and moisture gradients. Over several hours, it can cover a distance of a few centimeters. Ongoing research aims to uncover the mechanisms underlying this unique locomotion.
In the event of unexpected growth or changes in behavior, personnel must adhere to protocol DA-105 for proper anomaly investigation and management. Further studies are underway to explore the entity's biological composition, behaviors, and potential applications.
