A-056 Cool Cup

==CACG Item File==
Item A-056, known informally as "the Cool Cup," is a small white paper cup bearing a vibrant blue and purple pattern. The pattern on the cup will shift gradually, reaching a completely new shape within 24 hours, but the colors will always stay the same. Aside from its color shifting properties, A-056 does not show obvious signs of its anomalous properties from observation alone.
A-056's properties manifest once a user has the intent to fill it with any nearby substance. Once this intent is established, the cup can capture and hold any substance regardless of properties, with standout examples being antimatter, magma, and even anomalous substances like Item A-007 ("DATA REDACTED"). Once contained within A-056 any substance will become anomalously inert and stable, but only until it is poured or spilled out. Due to this, using A-056 to handle extremely volatile substances like antimatter is expressly forbidden, and using it to handle lower level hazardous materials such as nitroglycerin or molten metals is heavily discouraged by Administration.
A-056 was initially discovered following an incident at a Lance Manufacturing foundry in Gawain's Reach, in which a new hire was reported to be using an anomalous object to "impress" their coworkers. Task Force "Inhuman Resources" was dispatched for containment and cleanup, but only arrived shortly after a serious injury was incurred by white hot metal spilling out of the cup onto a worker. Task Force operatives secured the area and questioned witnesses before providing first aid for the injured worker. Following stabilization of the wounded and the arrival of a nearby hospital's medevac AV, Item A-056 was promptly recovered and sent to GEO-7.
