Item #: EA-062

Object Class: Variable (Secure - Dangerous)

Name: The Potatoes

Containment: EA-062 is to be securely stored within a standard anomalous item containment locker at Outpost Alpha. Access to EA-062 is restricted to personnel with Level 6 clearance or higher and requires authorization from the site's Containment Supervisor. To ensure the safety of personnel and prevent unauthorized interactions, a mandatory psychological evaluation is to be conducted on all personnel seeking access to EA-062. This evaluation aims to identify any individuals who may be susceptible to manipulation or coercion.

In the event that an individual wishes to consume a potato from EA-062 for experimentation purposes, written consent must be obtained from the individual. Consumption is to be conducted within a designated controlled environment equipped with emergency medical support. In case of any adverse effects, immediate medical intervention and quarantine procedures are to be implemented to prevent the potential spread of anomalous effects.

Profile: EA-062 is a nondescript bag containing ordinary potatoes (Solanum tuberosum). The appearance of the potatoes is unremarkable, resembling standard varieties commonly found in grocery stores. However, consuming a potato from EA-062 triggers anomalous effects within the consumer's digestive system.

Upon consumption of a potato from EA-062, the individual experiences an increased sense of hunger rather than a feeling of fullness. Two distinct outcomes have been observed:

• Disappearance Effect: In some instances, the consumed potato vanishes upon entering the consumer's stomach. This leads to a lack of satiety, accompanied by persistent and potentially intensified feelings of hunger.
• Black Hole Effect: In more severe cases, consumption results in the creation of a miniature black hole within the consumer's stomach. Over time, the black hole's gravitational forces draw in surrounding matter, causing extensive internal organ damage and eventual death.

Upon the full consumption of the consumer by the black hole, EA-062 itself is immediately destroyed, leaving no trace of its existence. This phenomenon has been consistently observed in multiple instances.

Reports of unusual root-like structures resembling flesh appearing on the surface of the potatoes have been noted, although these occurrences have not been definitively confirmed.

Due to the unpredictable nature of the effects demonstrated by EA-062, its Object Class has been classified as "Secure - Dangerous." While the bag and the potatoes appear mundane, the potential for catastrophic outcomes requires the implementation of strict containment and testing protocols to prevent accidental activation.
