Codename: EA-023

Object Class: Hazardous

Name: The Acid Plant

Containment: EA-023-A, the corn field maze, is to be kept under constant surveillance to prevent unauthorized access. The area surrounding the maze is to be fenced off and secured with warning signs to deter intruders. Regular patrols are to be conducted to ensure the integrity of the containment perimeter. Access to the maze is restricted to Level 3 personnel and above, who must undergo specialized training on handling and interacting with EA-023-B. Any signs of deterioration or abnormal activity within the maze must be reported immediately for further investigation.

Profile: EA-023 comprises two distinct anomalies: EA-023-A, the corn field maze, and EA-023-B, a plant-like creature. EA-023-A, located at ███████ farm, ██████, England, functions as the primary containment structure for EA-023-B. While the corn field maze itself poses no inherent danger, it serves as an effective means of partially containing EA-023-B by confusing and disorienting potential intruders, thus preventing their escape.

EA-023-B, the plant-like creature, possesses features that distinctly differentiate it from any known plant species. With eight eyes and a mouth stretching approximately one foot in length, lined with hundreds of small teeth, EA-023-B exhibits a menacing appearance. Despite its plant-like exterior, EA-023-B is a carnivorous entity capable of predatory behavior, particularly towards non-human creatures. When interacting with such entities, EA-023-B deploys a harpoon-like organ from its lower abdomen, resulting in lethal consequences for the prey.

Human interaction with EA-023-B typically does not provoke aggressive behavior unless the entity perceives a threat. In instances of perceived danger, EA-023-B may resort to defensive measures, such as spraying acid, to deter potential threats. While this poses a significant risk to human safety, fatal encounters are rare, with the primary intent being to warn rather than outright harm.

Efforts to contain and study EA-023 aim to understand the intricacies of its anomalous properties and mitigate potential risks to both personnel and the surrounding environment. Continued research into EA-023's biology, behavior, and containment methods is crucial for ensuring effective containment and safeguarding against potential hazards posed by the anomaly.
