Item #: EA-034

Object Class: Hazardous

Name: Ashen Vessel

Containment: EA-034 is to be stored within a reinforced containment chamber lined with insulating materials to minimize the effects of any launched ashes. The chamber should be equipped with monitoring devices to detect any sudden movements or disturbances caused by EA-034-2. Access to the containment area is restricted to Level 4 personnel and above, with mandatory protective gear, including goggles, gloves, and airtight suits, to prevent accidental exposure. EA-034's chamber should be inspected regularly to ensure structural integrity and to contain any released ashes within a secondary containment vessel for further analysis.

Profile: EA-034 is a hazardous entity in the form of a ceramic vase containing an inexhaustible supply of fine ashes. These ashes are propelled in erratic patterns by an unseen force, designated EA-034-2. When these ashes come into contact with living beings or objects, they initiate a transformative process, gradually reducing them to piles of ashes over a period of approximately five hours.

EA-034-2 is responsible for the launching and manipulation of the ashes, exhibiting control over their flight and trajectory. The entity's mechanism remains unknown, and its actions defy conventional laws of physics and gravity. The ashes themselves possess a potent effect, causing gradual deterioration and transformation upon contact.

The transformation process initiated by the ashes is irreversible and leads to the complete disintegration of affected individuals or objects. Once the transformation is complete, EA-034-2 generates a suction force that draws the ashes back into the vase, perpetuating its seemingly limitless supply.

The true nature of EA-034's interior is still under investigation. It appears to contain a vast pocket dimension filled with ash, originating from an unidentified source. The exploration and understanding of this dimension remain ongoing, as it holds vital clues to comprehend the entity's anomalous properties and potential implications.

Addendum: Recontainment Log for EA-034

Recontainment ID: EA-034-003
Date: [REDACTED]
Recontainment Team: Hazardous Containment Unit Zeta-2

Objective: The objective of this recontainment operation was to safely retrieve EA-034, containing its anomalous ashes and mitigating the potential risks associated with EA-034-2's transformative effects.

Procedure:

• The recontainment team, equipped with airtight suits and protective gear, entered EA-034's containment chamber. The team maintained strict adherence to safety protocols to minimize accidental exposure to the ashes.
• The primary containment vessel of EA-034 was inspected for any structural damages or breaches that may have compromised its integrity. No significant abnormalities were detected.
• Secondary containment vessels, specifically designed for the safe storage of the ashes, were prepared and placed strategically within the containment chamber.
• Using specialized containment tools, the recontainment team carefully approached EA-034 and initiated the retrieval process. The vase was securely grasped to prevent accidental spillage of the ashes.
• As EA-034 was lifted, EA-034-2's influence over the ashes became apparent. The recontainment team employed advanced insulating materials to reduce the impact of any launched ashes and deployed monitoring devices to track the movements of EA-034-2.
• The team successfully transferred EA-034 to a secondary containment vessel, ensuring the vase's secure placement and sealing to prevent any escape or accidental ash dispersal.
• The recontainment team exited the containment chamber, carefully transporting EA-034 and the secondary containment vessel to a designated storage area for further analysis and research.

Results: EA-034 was successfully recontained without incidents or exposure to the transformative ashes. The secondary containment vessel securely holds the ashes and prevents their contact with living beings or objects. EA-034-2's activities were monitored throughout the recontainment operation, revealing its ability to manipulate the ashes but remaining within expected parameters.

Conclusion: The recontainment of EA-034 was accomplished effectively, ensuring the safety of personnel and preventing any unintended transformations. EA-034 is now securely stored in a secondary containment vessel for continued analysis and study. Ongoing monitoring of EA-034-2's behavior and regular inspections of the containment chamber are recommended to detect any signs of potential anomalies or breaches. Further research is necessary to comprehend the source and mechanics behind EA-034's transformative properties and EA-034-2's influence.
