Object # : ISC-039

Official Codename : The Welting Wool

Item Class : Vehemens

Confinement Satisfactory Information : ISC-039 is to be kept in a specially made 6m x 6m x 6m pen, with an appearance of a grove filled grassland, with the plants being planted artificially made immune to the effects of 039’s anomalous ability. The pen has it’s ceiling installed with a sprinkler mimicking rain, however, this rain is artificial, specially made to be suitable for the stabilization of 039’s wool. 200 gallons of this liquid to produce artificial rain must be refilled every 2 weeks, as the plants within 039’s pen absorb the liquid extremely quickly and as a result, turn blue rather fast upon planting until the rain dissipates on schedule for various times. The rain is to be inactive only between 5:00 to 6:30, as any other unscheduled time where it isn’t supposed to be raining (or if it’s not raining enough) may significantly agitate ISC-039 and could a widespread personnel massacre or a confinement breach. Around 16 kg’s worth of grass immune to both the effects of 039’s effect, and the effect of the artificial rain made to nurture, and care for 039, is to be fed to 039 daily, preferably 4 kg’s worth every 8 hours. In the event of a confinement breach, Confinement Forces : Poaching Virgos (CF:PV), specially for confining animalistic or animal originating ISC’s, are to be released to calm, and reconfine ISC-039 .

Description : ISC-039, also known as The Welting Wool, is a lamb-like Mythos with the properties and faint appearance, comparable to that of a sheep, it’s former, & non-anomalous self. However, it’s current appearance has its four legs stripped down to exposed flesh alongside its tail, whilst covered by a mask consistently having yellow cheeks and a three yellow eyes, and being covered by anomalous ‘flesh-wool’, which has the ability to have appendages or body parts breach out of the wool. ISC-039, while not intentionally violent or malicious, is rather aggressive when provoked, which in of itself is very easy to do. With a stress recorder and emotional mind chip snuck onto the Mythos, whenever the confinement procedures go smoothly, and as intended, it’s stress levels were consistently low, and reported to be happy, and even passive when humans approached it, fed, & played with it, and reportedly never intentionally harmed one when interacting with the Mythos in question. However, when, for example, the rain schedule became inconsistent, a human provoked it, or tried to harm it, 039’s stress levels rose significantly, and growled at the offender, often striking them, or trying to rip their flesh off their bone, ultimately killing them. However, the emotion chip recorded no malicious intent, and was rather with poorly directed combination of rage and fear towards the aggressor is what caused it to attack and kill on impulse, upon the aggressor fleeing, or upon their death, 039 was recorded to have more mixed emotions before attempting to calm itself and sleep. Thus, it is hard to call ISC-039 a malevolent being.

Despite this, 039 is rather time, and resource consuming to properly confine without aggravating it, as in its original pen, an anomalous effect from the ‘flesh wool’ on 039 caused all plant life to cease and made the area smell horribly. As a result, many things have been put in place of its new and as of now, current pen. As of now, many features the new grass being artificially made specifically to rapidly absorb and adapt of 039’s effect, but as a result, turn blue upon the also artificial rain made to control, and care for 039’s wool, as without it, flesh-like appendages begin to grow uncontrollably from 039, which agitates it and causes it a huge amount of discomfort, the grove contained within it’s pen also has to be cleaned out regularly, this results in frequent human interactions, and although personnel are trained to try not to provoke 039 and endanger both it and themselves, humans are bound to make mistakes, which leads to confinement breaches due to it being in high amounts of frustration, and needing to require the aid of CF:PV to calm it and reconfine it without further incident.

Oddly, despite 039 being a violent Mythos, it’s rather popular for the class it’s in, commonly being cited as “cute and innocent” by many personnel, as such, despite being a Vehemens Class Mythos, is strangely commonly requested for personnel to be assigned to it for interaction.

Notes : 039 was once a baby, non-anomalous black sheep without any of common Mythos traits, it is currently unknown how 039 was converted into what it is now, hence its secondary nickname, “The Once-Black Lamb”.

### List Of Tests/Incidents

* Incident 039-16 : Another case of 039 being agitated by a human, this time by the aggressor pinching it by accident, this caused 039 to flail into a violent frenzy before rampaging after brutally mauling and killing the aggressor, it rampaged for 4 hours before tiring itself out and being reconfined by Confinement Forces.
