Item #: EA-065

Object Class: Secure

Name: The Axolotl

Containment: EA-065 is to be contained within a specially designed aquatic containment tank measuring 6 meters in length, 2 meters in width, and 2 meters in height, located within Outpost Xi. The tank must be maintained at a temperature range of 18°C to 22°C and filled with freshwater to ensure optimal conditions for EA-065. Routine water quality checks and visual inspections are to be conducted to ensure the well-being of EA-065.

EA-065 is granted designated periods of supervised activity outside of its containment tank, during which it may freely roam designated areas within Outpost Xi. These areas are to be closely monitored by security personnel to prevent accidental harm to EA-065 and ensure its safety.

Profile: EA-065 is a unique axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) measuring approximately 5.75 meters in length, making it significantly larger than the typical species. The creature displays a vibrant blue coloration across its entire body.

The primary anomalous property of EA-065 is its ability to manipulate the visual perceptions of individuals within its vicinity. EA-065 can selectively alter what individuals perceive or fail to perceive, effectively controlling the visual information processed by the human brain. This ability allows EA-065 to create illusions, hide objects or entities from view, and even alter the perceived size or appearance of its own form.

Notably, EA-065 appears to employ its anomalous ability in a benevolent manner, often using its powers to prevent harm or alleviate distress in those around it. Examples of EA-065's beneficial interventions include obscuring hazardous or distressing sights, guiding personnel away from dangerous areas, and creating calming visual environments for individuals experiencing stress.

EA-065 displays a high level of intelligence and appears to possess an understanding of human behavior and emotions. It exhibits signs of curiosity and sociability, frequently interacting with personnel through its unique visual manipulation abilities. Communication with EA-065 is limited to non-verbal cues and its anomalous visual effects.

Due to its cooperative behavior and demonstrated positive impact, EA-065 is granted limited freedom of movement within designated areas of Outpost Xi. During these periods of activity, security personnel are to ensure that EA-065's actions align with its usual pattern of aiding and protecting individuals within the facility. 

It is crucial to maintain a peaceful and non-stressful environment around EA-065, as negative emotions or heightened stress levels may inadvertently trigger unpredictable visual alterations or illusions. EA-065's containment tank is to be regularly cleaned and maintained by assigned personnel to ensure its well-being and continued cooperation.
