Containment Protocols

Containment procedures for IS-0307 are part of an ongoing investigation led by Dr. Stern.

While entirely effective containment protocols are not yet established, electromagnetic insulation and Faraday shielding is known to retard IS-0307's movement. When entering or egressing from such containment spaces, full spectrum EM-jamming equipment must be in operation.

Any digital device, mechanism or hardware known to contain IS-0307 must be kept at least 40ft from unhardened video or digital equipment.

Description

IS-0307 is currently contained within IS-0083, which Dr. Stern has argued was infected via an osmotic electromagnetic process originating from IS-0235's near-proximity containment cell.

Although research staff are not yet certain as to the precise mechanics of this colonization, IS-0307 appears to have begun its lifecycle in IS-0235, then mutated as it migrated to the nearby, unprotected digital environment of IS-0083.

In the process, IS-0307 has infected the game's control systems, propogating itself through several independent entities or, as Dr. Stern theorizes, a singular entity with multiple instances: the so-called Lamogi and Bombogi of 'Space Queen'. In so doing, it has increased the apparent aggression of these pre-existing game enemies, and eradicated much of the endemic 'life' of the simulation, the remainder of which appear to have also been compromised or otherwise influenced by the infection. The symptoms of this infection are of much interest and require further study.

The exact demarcation between IS-0235 and IS-0307 remains contentious.
