Item #: EA-043

Object Class: Hazardous

Name: That which you cannot see

Containment: EA-043, codenamed "That Which You Cannot See," is to be contained within a specially constructed containment cell equipped with advanced electromagnetic shielding to prevent any external interference. The cell is to be sealed at all times, even when conducting experiments or inspections. Access to the containment cell requires written authorization from Level 6 personnel and must be accompanied by at least two trained individuals equipped with augmented reality goggles.

Profile: EA-043 is an anomalous phenomenon that defies conventional perception. It is an invisible entity that resides within its designated containment cell, regardless of the cell door being open or closed. The presence of EA-043 is only perceivable through its effect on the subject's brain.

When exposed to EA-043, individuals experience a profound alteration in their visual perception. They perceive a multitude of strange shapes, objects, and entities that are not visible to others or captured by any recording devices. The affected individuals report seeing these entities as physically present, with the ability to interact with them, pick them up, and examine them closely.

However, the nature of these perceived objects remains elusive, as they cannot be captured or recorded by any means. Attempts to photograph, film, or document these entities have proven unsuccessful. Furthermore, any objects "picked up" by individuals affected by EA-043 cannot be physically interacted with by others, further confirming the subjective nature of the phenomenon.

The visual experiences induced by EA-043 are highly varied, with each individual perceiving a unique assortment of shapes and objects. Reports range from ethereal wisps of light to intricate geometric patterns, unidentifiable artifacts, and bizarre life forms. The manifestations often exhibit vivid colors, textures, and movement, creating a surreal and immersive experience for the affected individuals.

It is worth noting that the cognitive influence of EA-043 extends beyond visual perception. Subjects have reported altered sensory experiences, including auditory hallucinations and tactile sensations associated with the perceived objects. However, these sensations are confined to the affected individual's perception and do not manifest objectively.

Due to the inherent subjectivity and lack of tangible evidence, understanding the origin, purpose, and true nature of EA-043 remains a challenge. Ongoing research is being conducted to investigate the underlying mechanisms behind its perceptual manipulation and to determine potential effects on long-term exposure.

Caution is advised when studying EA-043, as prolonged exposure to the phenomenon may lead to psychological distress and disorientation. All interactions and experiments involving EA-043 must be conducted by personnel equipped with augmented reality goggles to minimize the risk of cognitive dissonance and ensure accurate monitoring of the affected individual's experiences.
