Item #: FOC-073
Object Class: Safe
Name: The Chrono-Loop Mirror
Containment Protocols: FOC-073 is to be stored within a standard containment chamber at Site Temporal. Access to FOC-073 requires Level 3 clearance and is restricted to approved research personnel only. The containment chamber is to be equipped with remote viewing devices to monitor individuals using the mirror. Any unauthorized use or attempted access to FOC-073 is to be reported immediately to Site Temporal security.
Description: FOC-073 is a seemingly ordinary mirror with a wooden frame. It measures 60 centimeters in width and 90 centimeters in height. Upon visual examination, FOC-073 displays no anomalous properties. However, when an individual gazes into the mirror, they are transported to an alternate version of their past. The experience is highly subjective and tailored to the individual's memories and experiences.
Each use of FOC-073 creates a unique parallel timeline diverging from the original reality. As a result, multiple versions of an individual may exist across these timelines, leading to a complex web of interconnected realities. Research into the exact mechanics of these temporal anomalies is ongoing.
The alternate realities created by FOC-073 vary in subtle and significant ways, ranging from minor differences in personal choices to larger alterations in historical events. Individuals transported to these alternate timelines report a sense of displacement and confusion upon returning to the original reality. Additionally, the use of FOC-073 has the potential to generate temporal anomalies and paradoxes, making containment and observation crucial to prevent unforeseen consequences.
Note from Administrator:
Given the potential ramifications of using FOC-073, all tests involving the mirror must receive explicit permission from the Apex Directive Assembly (ADA) before proceeding. Any unauthorized experimentation with FOC-073 is strictly prohibited. Our understanding of temporal anomalies is still evolving, and the creation of parallel timelines poses significant challenges to our containment protocols. It is essential that we exercise caution and adhere to strict monitoring procedures when dealing with FOC-073 to mitigate the risks of temporal instability and unforeseen consequences.
