Codename: EA-001

Object Class: Secure

Name: Soul Sand

Containment: EA-001 is contained within Outpost Delta, designated as a Secure-level containment area. The containment measures for this anomaly involve maintaining a secure perimeter around EA-001 to prevent unauthorized access. Access to the containment area is restricted to personnel with Level 2 or higher clearance, and any contact with EA-001 must be authorized and supervised. A monitoring station equipped with audio and visual recording equipment is established within the containment area to observe any anomalous activity.

Profile: EA-001 is a peculiar manifestation of dark brown sand, categorized as a Secure-class anomaly. It is located within Outpost Delta, and its enigmatic properties have warranted careful containment procedures. This pile of sand exhibits an unusual pattern on its surface, resembling depictions of multiple souls intertwined in a complex and intricate design.

One of the most striking characteristics of EA-001 is the intermittent and eerie phenomenon of distant, untraceable screams emanating from its vicinity. Despite extensive investigations, the source of these haunting cries remains elusive. These vocalizations defy conventional explanations and persist as an enigma within the Foundation's records.

Proximity to EA-001 for a period exceeding five minutes induces a cognitive effect on subjects. Time appears to slow down dramatically for individuals in close proximity to the anomaly, creating a distorted temporal experience. However, it is essential to note that this distortion is subjective, as observers perceive affected individuals as moving at a normal pace. The affected subjects themselves perceive their surroundings and actions as occurring in slow motion, which can be profoundly disorienting.

The "warped time" effect induced by EA-001 continues until individuals distance themselves from the anomaly by at least six feet. This peculiarity has raised numerous questions regarding the nature of EA-001 and its potential connection to temporal manipulation.

Investigation Log - Discovery of EA-001

The discovery of EA-001 traces back to the establishment of Outpost Delta during a routine exploration mission in a remote, undisclosed location. The mission aimed to expand the Foundation's presence in previously uncharted territories, with the primary objective being the identification and secure containment of anomalous phenomena.

Outpost Delta's construction team encountered EA-001 buried beneath layers of sedimentary rock and soil. Initial excavation efforts revealed an unusual resonance with the sand pile, as well as the occasional, unsettling auditory phenomenon. Further analysis led to the deployment of specialized containment protocols to prevent unintentional exposure to the cognitive time distortion effect.

Investigations into the origins and properties of EA-001 continue, as the Foundation seeks to unravel the mysteries surrounding this Secure-class anomaly.
