A-021 Heart of the Deep

== CACG Item File ==
Item A-021 is the designation given to a disassociated fragment of an uncharted universe. It was discovered in a remote island network in the Aluros Archipelago, inside a location of interest named the "Blue Reliquary" by the region's native populations. This "reliquary" was closely and successfully guarded for decades by various hazardous anomalies, all induced by A-021's presence. These anomalies ranged from fairly innocuous emotional manipulation to outright deadly inducement of hypoxia. Following the reliquary's discovery by the CACG however, these anomalies were circumvented by Operative Void (as well as a small expeditionary team) and A-021 was subsequently retrieved.
Following containment, A-021 has remained relatively dormant, with only occasional depression-inducing emissions of strong psychoactive "fields" from time to time. The more serious anomalous abilities A-021 has exhibited prior to recovery have not yet been observed in containment. While A-021 cannot be "touched" in the typical sense, physical immersion in it has particularly detrimental consequences, ranging from immediate maiming or death via hypoxia, permanent discoloration of the entire body, and almost always Relativistic Disassociation Syndrome.
As A-021 is almost entirely ethereal in nature, it cannot be handled or contained without special handling devices. Its containment enclosure is to consist of a cylindrical chamber with no less than 6 containment field emitters targeted to the center, where A-021 resides. Alongside this, A-021 may be occasionally "blasted" with beams of high-energy particles to reduce occurrences of "depression fields." A-021's only approved enclosure is within the Fulton Wormhole Research Center in GEO-7, with emergency high-reliability radioisotope generators to provide power for containment field emitters in the event of a blackout.
