UNA-052

Object: Psychic

Containment: Periculo

Risk: Infreque

Type: Temporal

Description

UNA-052 consists of 35 spheres of varying size, weight and material. Carbon dating places that at about 10 thousand years of age.

All UNA-052 instances have modern English markings engraved on them. Modern English was only developed in 1066, many millennia after these UNA-052 instances were believed to be produced.

When any instance of UNA-052 comes into contact with a material object, the object will become temporally unstable. Small forces or movement will allow the object to move through time, in either direction. This will be perceived by human eyes as either a sudden disappearance (if the object is moved to the past), or rapid flashing of the object (if the object is moved forward in time). However, the object will be unable to control what direction, and how far it moves.

Objects that have been transported through time include a book, a glass of water, several (5) UNAS-F-1, and a large desk. It is unknown to what time any of these objects have been sent to.

Acquiration

All 35 instances of UNA-052 were discovered in a tomb in [REDACTED], containing what appeared to be the ruler of an unknown civilisation. UNA-052 was discovered along with UNA-024.

Containment Protocol

All instances of UNA-052 are to se separately stored in steel boxes. The boxes are to be placed on the largest side, inside an environment controlled room in Site 52. No personnel are allowed to enter the room, unless for experiments. The room is to be monitored 24/7 to ensure the presence of all instances of UNA-052.

The UNAS-F are to always check for objects matching the description of UNA-052, even if all instances are accounted for. This is because, should there be a containment breach in the future, the UNAS-F can still contain it. While the possession of multiple of the same instance of UNA-052 is clearly paradoxical, no incidents have occurred in which the contact of the instances have resulted in a dangerous situation.

In the even of a containment breach, almost nothing can be done, except wait for the instance of UNA-052 to be encountered by chance again.

Addendums

Addendum-052-1

Below is the Experiment Log for UNA-052.

Test 1: Hardcover book, 'To Kill a Mockingbird'

Procedure: An instance of UNA-052 was placed on the book, and the book was pushed.

Results: The book disappeared, indicating that it had been sent to the past. The UNA-052 instance was found in the UNAS-F storage system two days later. The UNAS-F had seemingly discovered it in the past, and kept it in the system for discovery.

Test 2A: A glass of water

Procedure: An instance of UNA-052 was placed inside the glass, submerged in the water. The glass was pushed.

Results: The water disappeared, and the instance fell into the glass, which began to flash rapidly. Research Dr. [REDACTED] suddenly came into the room, drenched. It has appeared that the researcher had been using the table to read before the experiment, and the water had spontaneously appeared. The glass subsequently disappeared, and was found to suddenly reappear, along with the UNA-052 instance, on the table 4 days later.

Test 2B: A glass of water.

Procedure: An instance of UNA-052 was rolled into the glass.

Results: The glass disappeared, and the water began to flash rapidly upon splashing into the instance. The researcher, who had been drenched in the previous experiment, suddenly received cut marks all over his face. Glass was found embedded in the fabric of her lab coat. The water subsequently reappeared 4 days later, along with the UNA-052 instance, in a puddle on the table.

Test 3: 1 UNAS-F-1.

Procedure: An instance of UNA-052 was given to UNAS-F-1, and the UNAS-F-1 was instructed to grab it and move.

Results: UNAS-F-1 yelled is shock, as he began to flash rapidly. He subsequently disappeared, and was never seen again. The UNA-052 instance was not affected, and was dropped onto the floor.

Test 4: The Earth

Procedure: UNA-052 was placed on the floor outside Site 52. A researcher stomped on the ground 1m to its left, causing it to bump up a little.

Results: [DATA EXPUNGED]. The Earth was returned to its original state, only after [DATA EXPUNGED].
