Item #: EA-049

Object Class: Hazardous

Name: The Most Fun Atom on Earth

Containment: EA-049 requires specialized containment procedures due to its deceptive nature and dangerous effects. The entity is to be stored within a reinforced glass container equipped with advanced isolation measures to prevent physical contact. The container must be kept in a secure, climate-controlled environment within Outpost Mu. Access to EA-049 is restricted to authorized personnel with Level 7 clearance or higher, who must wear appropriate protective gear when handling the entity. Regular microscopic examinations are necessary to monitor any changes or anomalies in the atom's composition.

Profile: EA-049 appears as a seemingly harmless atom when observed under a microscope. Multiple yellow dots, each displaying a smiley face, are visible, giving the impression of a cheerful and playful nature. However, this initial impression is highly misleading, as the atom possesses dangerous and insidious properties.

Direct physical contact with EA-049 results in a profound alteration of the individual's thoughts and mental state. Upon contact, the person experiences a rapid shift in their cognitive processes, leading to the emergence of intense suicidal and negative thoughts. These intrusive thoughts revolve around self-depreciation, feelings of worthlessness, and distorted perceptions of others' opinions. Over time, these thoughts intensify and take control of the individual's mind, leading to severe psychological distress.

The ultimate outcome of prolonged exposure to EA-049 is fatal. The atom's influence gradually deactivates vital cellular functions, leading to irreversible damage and organ failure. The process is insidious, and unless the affected individual receives immediate medical intervention and psychological support, the thoughts induced by EA-049 will ultimately result in their demise.

It is important to note that the suicidal and negative thoughts induced by EA-049 are not reflective of the individual's true emotions or mental state. They are an artificial product of the atom's influence and should be treated as such. The severity and persistence of these thoughts vary among individuals, with some experiencing them intermittently, while others succumb more rapidly.
