Smoking Pram

The Smoking Pram is an Altered Item found by Federal Bureau of Control on August 5, 1979 and now contained within the Oldest House's Panopticon.
==Description==
The Smoking Pram is a Victorian style baby carriage made a of steel framework on wire wheels with a body covered by a shade and sheet made of black fabric. One wheel is bent out of alignment, causing it to roll unevenly. White smoke of varying density is continuously emitted from the body of the carriage, inhalation of which is documented to be lethal. The smoke is not generated by any natural source within the carriage, and efforts to suppress it are answered instead with more smoke from the item. As such, the carriage's containment unit needs to be specially ventilated to prevent it from being saturated with smoke. 
==History==
The Smoking Pram was first identified in Paris on August 2 of 1979 when the antiques store it had arrived at at some point became overcome with smoke, killing its owner after an unknown amount of exposure time. The local fire department dispatched a crew to the store, including fire chief R. Beaulieu, who would be interviewed about the event years later. After removing the carriage from the store, having identified it as the source of the smoke and subsequently failing to suppress it, Beaulieu's team brought it back to the fire hall. On August 5, FBC agents arrived at the fire hall and collected the carriage, sending it to the Oldest House for research and containment. At some point prior to November 17 of 2009, an event in the Panopticon resulted in the destruction of documents pertaining to the initial discovery of the carriage, necessitating additional interviews of surviving witnesses of the event.
