Item Number: 005
Anomaly Class: Code Green
Containment Protocol: Anomaly-005 is to be contained within a 1/2x1/2x1/2 meter glass cube within its containment cell. No further containment protocols are necessary.
Anomaly Description: Anomaly-005 is a small blue wireless video game controller. Its exterior seems to be made of a translucent material, revealing the machinery inside. The anomaly seems unremarkable at first and may be picked up normally as long as it is not attached to a console.
If a video game console is turned on within 3 meters of Anomaly-005, it will instantly morph into the shape of the controller commonly used with that particular console. It is now that Anomaly-005 enters what is considered its "active" state. If Anomaly-005 is picked up while activated by an individual (who will hereby be referred to as Anomaly-005-2), it will begin slowly fusing itself to its victim via an adhesive liquid secreted from holes in the back of the controller.
After completely fusing to its host (which takes approximately thirty seconds), Anomaly-005 will begin to draw nutrients from Anomaly-005-2's body in order to power its own battery. Closer inspection revealed that the internal wiring system of Anomaly-005 actually fuses to its victim's veins. Anomaly-005 will continue drawing nutrients indefinitely until its host has died. After draining the blood of nutrients, Anomaly-005 will begin drawing them from Anomaly-005-2's muscle tissue and bone barrow, causing muscles and organs to atrophy. Upon the death of Anomaly-005-2, the anomaly will automatically detach and resume its "inactive" state. Anomaly-005 apparently does not actually require sustenance, as it has not been fed in over thirty years. Whether it does this for pleasure or not is unknown, but Anomaly-005 has shown zero signs of sentience.
Discovery and Containment: Anomaly-005 was recovered from the house of a family in Chicago who claimed their son was severely addicted to video games. Upon investigation, researchers found that it was impossible for the boy to put down the controller, as it had fused to his flesh. The boy died of starvation after the controller had drained all the nutrients from his body to fuel itself. It was immediately contained by on-site personnel.
