Jasper Post Box

The Jasper Post Box is an Altered Item contained by the Federal Bureau of Control in the Oldest House. The item was discovered on June 15, 1986, and contained in the Panopticon.
==Summary==
A dark blue United States post box. Paint is chipped at the edges. The item itself is empty, with no mail discovered at the time of retrieval. The item seizes motor functions of organisms meeting an unknown criteria. Paralyzed subjects are still capable of moving their eyes and limited speech. During tests, approximately 16% of agents remained unaffected by the item. Age, gender, race, height, weight, blood type, eye color, clothing, place of birth, diet, heart rate, and socioeconomic standing are all factors proven to have no correlation to an individual's vulnerability to the item. Victim's states of mind were recorded during onset of paralysis, but no emotional correlation has yet been found.
Agents arrived in the town of Jasper Crossing, Arizona after the communications department intercepted multiple phone calls to local authorities regarding "frozen people" in the streets. Four of the five dispatched agents became paralyzed upon arriving at the scene. Additional assessment teams were dispatched. Variations of Identification Formulas were tried with ineffectual results. Agents resorted to using aerial photography to study the positioning of the paralyzed individuals. Soon after, agents discovered the event's "epicenter" to be the local post office. Unaffected agents cleared the area of all paralyzed civilians, animals, and Bureau personnel before beginning to study the item. Agents deemed susceptible to the item were tasked with interviewing and re-informing the public away from the site. The item was soon placed on a transport vehicle manned by unaffected agents. Air travel had been deemed too dangerous given the item's effect. Numerous reports of temporary paralysis were reported by civilians along the truck's route from Arizona to New York City.
==Containment Procedure==
The following procedures for containment for the item in the Oldest House:
* Black Rock paneling has proven effective in hindering, but not in eliminating the object's altered effect. Agents in the immediate vicinity may still experience paralysis.
* Keeping a distance of an unknown set of feet from the cell is recommended unless agent is confirmed to be non-susceptible.
