UNA-057

Object: Psychic

Containment: Impossible

Risk: Verisa

Description

UNA-057 is the anomalous phenomenon in which a school student who has recently failed his or her examinations begin to receive injuries, caused by an unknown assailant. UNA-057 can occur to anyone who has taken a test (with the exception of IQ and personality tests, as one cannot fail them), but happens most commonly to high school students. Globally, UNA-057 occurs to high school students at a rate of 0.5%, while for all other age groups the rate is around 0.006%.

When UNA-057 occurs to someone, the injuries they can receive include scratches, lacerations, penetration of muscle, rupturing of blood vessels, large amounts of bruising, and severe burns. Those affected may even begin having seizures or compulsions, as if electrocuted.

In almost all cases, the affected will die. However, a small number of people (0.1%) will survive, but have no recollection of what has happened previously. They will assume that all injuries afflicted onto them were caused by themselves. Even so, the affected may even try to harm themselves more, accusing themselves for receiving such bad grades. This occurs even in people who did not ever have depression or intentions of self-harm.

So far, the UNAS-F has recorded 157 confirmed cases of UNA-057, with a single affected surviving the ordeal.

Acquisition

UNA-057 first came to Foundation attention when they found a video recording of UNA-057 occurring to a high school student in [REDACTED]. The student was taken into custody, and designated UNA-057 at first. However, after the student passed, and more reports of students being affected by the same phenomenon came to the Foundation, the phenomenon itself was designated UNA-057.

Containment Protocol

As UNA-057 is a phenomenon, it cannot be contained. The UNAS-F actively seeks out students who are affected by UNA-057, and take them into custody in the nearest Site.

When in custody, those affected are to be interviewed at least once, to see if any information can be retrieved. The affected are to be monitored throughout the torture process for unforeseen changes, and any new abnormalities are to be reported to the UNAS-F-7 immediately.

Should the affected survive, they are allowed to choose if they want to be terminated, or released. If they would like to be released, they are to stay in constant surveillance until all wounds have healed. When this happens, they are to be administered Class A amnestics, and released. The affected may also wish to undergo psychological therapy, for which the UNAS-F will subsidise.

Addendum-057-1

The following is an interview between Dr. [REDACTED], head researcher in charge of psychological UNAs, and a male student affected by UNA-057, hereby referred to as 'Subject'.

<BEGIN LOG>

Subject: It hurts. It hurts so, so much.

Dr: I'm sorry, could you repeat you name, age, and nationality?

Subject: My name? My name is… Tommy. 17 years old. From Wash— *Subjects yells in agony as a large gash appears on his wrist. Blood spills out and soaks his sleeve* It hurts so much! I don't want to live anymore!

Dr: I… I really apologise. We require information, and until we get some… We cannot let you go. Do you know who did this to you?

Subject: No, no. I don't see anyone. It's like someone is hurting me, but I can't see anything. I only feel the pain.

Dr: What does it feel like?

Subject: I already said. Pain. *Subject winces as the wound becomes bigger. More blood is pouring out* I… I don't know. Like, someone is cutting at my skin with a knife, slowly. They want me to suffer, to feel as much pain as possible, maybe. They don't make the pain quick, just long.

Dr: 'They'? You know who is trying to hurt you?

Subject: I… I'm sorry, doctor. I can't stay awake for much longer. The pain is killing me. Don't let them get to you. Your failure is they motivation. Their success is yours. *Subject slumps to the ground, unconscious*
