AOI-EOI-813 (THE WIDOW)

### Threats:

Ecological Hazard, Emotional Hazard, Organic Hazard, Regenerative Hazard, Sapient Hazard, Sentient Hazard, Contact Hazard.

## **Standard Observation Measures*:***

EOI-813 is to be kept in a medium sized humanoid containment cell mostly devoid of organic material with exceptions. Despite the EOI being docile, the EOI must NOT be allowed free roam throughout the facility. However, staff who have shown the aptitude for emotional resistance have been encouraged to talk to the EOI in order to prevent it from falling into a depressed state.

## **In Case of Escape:**

EOI-813 has made no strong attempt to escape containment. While it has occasionally attempted to leave its cell, it has never resisted when escorted back in the case that it does leave its cell.

In the rare case that it does firmly decide to leave, personnel tasked with retrieving the EOI are to be completely covered with inorganic material to prevent possible hazardous contact with the EOI. While it has not attempted yet, notes from previous tests have concluded that greatly damaging its body via high amounts of firepower or amputation can subdue EOI-813.

## **Description**:

EOI-813 has a tall yet thin build, measuring around 8’2”. At a glance, it resembles the traditional image of a typical human widow. However, upon closer inspection, its skin is dark grey, as if covered in ash, with its bones accentuated. It is most notable in its face, where it resembles a young man wearing makeup in the vague shape of a skull. The few who have touched its skin and have survived describe it as feeling rough and ashy, as well as extremely cold. Mysteriously enough, the temperature of its skin is nigh identical to the temperature of a corpse during rigor mortis.

It wears a large brimmed hat adorned with red spider lilies which have been dyed pitch black. In order to obscure its face, it wears a thin veil, similar to those worn by widows, hence its nickname “The Widow”. Its dress is made of a material similar to leather, with a lace swallowtail trailing behind it. Despite EOI-813’s size, the dress still touches the ground, completely obscuring the EOI’s feet and legs.

## **Activity**:

EOI-813 often spends its time smoking and sitting on its bed, pondering. Occasionally, it may request something to drink (Often somewhere between strong alcohol and tea), but otherwise the EOI does nothing but mope all day.

It is very difficult to agitate EOI-813, as it tends to become sombre instead of angry. Despite this fact, personnel have been advised to not attempt to intentionally anger the EOI due to the fact that the facility may not be prepared for EOI-813 if it becomes agitated enough to wish to harm others.

## **Anomalous Properties*:***

* Regenerative properties:
	+ EOI-813 is able to completely regenerate parts of its body, even when said body part was completely cut off. Depending on the size of its injury, it can take a few seconds up to a few days to heal, growing exponentially as the wound grows.
	+ However, EOI-813 has warned that it cannot do so indefinitely, stating that it “needs ample life force” in order to properly heal. As a result, tests including amputation have been stopped. Despite its ability to regenerate, the EOI becomes very distressed when losing a large part of its body. It seems unaffected by small injuries such as scrapes up to bullet wounds. However, it becomes distressed upon losing chunks of itself.
	+ EOI-813 has made a request for tests on its regenerative capabilities to be stopped.

* Sombre aura:
	+ When EOI-813 is approached physically or verbally, people have described feeling a sense of deep indescribable sadness. Many have compared it to the feeling one gets while remembering a lost loved one. Some have even specified it as the loss of a long time spouse. Curiously, a small portion of those who have described the sadness as the loss of a spouse have not been recorded having a long term relationship. It has been noted that those without any level of resistance to such auras have their mood worsened with each moment they spend around the EOI, to the point where some have even collapsed into a sluggish and saddened state, similar to that observed in individuals who experience severe depressive episodes. The effect is even more potent on those who have experienced depression or something of the sort in the past.
	+ The EOI has expressed that it has no intention of inflicting this aura on others. It has also stated that it would “Stop the aura if [it] could.”

* Death’s touch
	+ When the EOI touches something organic with its bare skin, the rotting process for the object is immediately hastened to an alarming rate, to the point where a table which may have been able to last for many years is turned into a pile of rotting compost in the matter of seconds. Prolonged contact will inevitably turn the organic object into ash.
	+ Unfortunately, its deadly touch is not limited to non living objects. After an evaluation of its deadly touch, a scientist involved with the test handed the EOI’s gloves back to it for it to put back on. However, unfortunately, the EOI brushed against the scientist's skin, causing them to immediately begin to rot despite still being alive. From just that mere brush, the scientist was very swiftly turned into a rotting corpse. Even worse, the other scientist who unfortunately witnessed the process claimed that the victim was still conscious for a moment before succumbing to the touch. Due to this discovery, any tests on its deadly touch have been halted indefinitely.

## **Addendums*:***

[1] - Because of how dangerous the EOI has the potential of being, changing the danger class from Maxime to Timor is currently awaiting approval.

[2] - It has been noted that EOI-813 became extremely distressed after witnessing the death that it had indirectly caused and refused to come within a few meters of anyone unless there was something inorganic between the EOI and the person attempting to communicate with it. During these 3 days, it would refer to the person it had killed as its “spouse” during interviews. However, it would suddenly stop this behaviour after those 3 days, properly referring to the victim by who they were as well as denying that this person was ever their spouse.

## Notes

The AOI does not seem to appear in any sort of media, appearing only as a silhouette which had been burned in, no matter photograph or video.
