|-|Database File=
Item Number: 016
Anomaly Class: Code Green
Containment Protocol: Anomaly-016 is attached to the northernmost wall of a three (3) by four (4) meter room. The anomaly is to be kept away from all low level personnel without an authorized experiment pass. No personnel other than those with a Level 3 Security Clearance or higher are permitted to enter Anomaly-016's cell. 
Anomaly Description: Anomaly-016 is a large white flag made of unremarkable craft felt. The flag itself is rectangular in shape with dimensions 0.609 meters by 0.508 meters. The flag is attached to a black plastic rod with a length of 0.914 meters.
Anomaly-016's anomalous properties manifest when drawn on with any sort of writing utensil (type and brand are irrelevant). Anomaly-016 has a psychological effect on nearby persons, compelling any subject(s) that have been in its presence for at least five (5) minutes to worship whatever is drawn on the flag. More specifically, the afflicted subjects (who will hereby collectively be referred to as Anomaly-016-A) will devote their entire life to whatever subject is drawn upon the flag for as long as they are within 20 meters of the flag, regardless of what is drawn. This could range from specific people to inanimate objects to abstract concepts such as emotions.
As Anomaly-016-A spends a longer and longer period of time in Anomaly-016's presence, their devotion and adoration of the worshiped subject will become more aggressive and more overt. These long-term subjects have been known to violently attack anyone who insults or berates them or their object of worship, or even to injure or mutilate themselves as part of a "blood sacrifice". When removed from Anomaly-016's presence, Anomaly-016-A will slowly return to their normal psychological state; the length of recovery time is proportional to how long they were Anomaly-016's presence.
Observations: The following drawings were produced on Anomaly-016 in the presence of a test subject. The accompanying notes were observed.
Drawing 	Notes
A slice of pizza	Subject gained an insatiable hunger for pizza and eventually used nearby hunks of wood as a crust and their own blood as sauce.
A human tooth 	Subject became unusually fascinated with her own teeth. This culminated in the subject ravenously biting and gnawing at her own flesh to become "one with the teeth".
Dr. Chaucer 	The two (2) afflicted subjects began to revere Dr. Chaucer as a king of sorts, begging to tend to his every whim. Dr. Chaucer was noticeably reluctant to end this particular experiment.
A smiley face 	Subject became extremely amiable and happy, apparently worshiping happiness itself. Three (3) hours after exposure, the subject committed suicide, claiming that everything else was "a huge frowny face by comparison".
