Containment Protocols

It is essential to personnel safety that all research into IS-0014 remains non-contact until further notice.

Bringing any physical items or objects into close proximity with the subject must not occur: observe a perimeter of at least 3ft from the subject at all times. Non-invasive or EM study is permitted, but appears almost entirely ineffective.

Audio log

Dr. Derek Manse reporting, Research Director. Dr. Sukov came to me today and announced she was terminating her investigations into Oh-One-Four. The principal obstacle appears to be the object itself. Our tools cease to function, or they operate at an impossibly glacial pace, when brought near it. Precisely what it is composed of, whether hollow or solid, even these simple questions are almost impossible to answer. Oh-One-Four is, to all intents and purposes, impervious.

Sir, we've run into a serious issue with IS-0014. Its temporal distortion increases the closer we get, meaning that as soon as our instruments touch it, they stop working. There's no way to take a sample.

With respect, Daniel, it's your job to find a way around this.

I know, but Dr. Verenkov touched it and was practically stuck to it for the next 20 minutes. Now Dina Khattar's team want to assess the effects on him, which is fair enough, but we're still no closer to discovering where on earth this came from or who made it.

I think we can be fairly sure it wasn't Turkmen nomads, so that's a start.

You asked for an update on 0014. We've started calling it the Time Brake, because frankly, that's what it is. Bear with me. If my assessment is correct, it's a device for low mass temporal distortion. Whoever created this found a way to induce near-singularity intensity distortions of local spacetime at close to zero density. I'm sure I don't have to tell you what this means.

No, what you need to tell me is that you've found a way to emulate it.

I don't want to put this in an email. Come see me in C Block when you get a moment. You're going to love this.
