Item #: FOC-077

Object Class: Arcane (Neutralized)

Name: The Canvas of Regret

Containment Protocols: Following Incident FOC-077-Termination, FOC-077 has been rendered neutralized. The remnants of FOC-077 are to be stored in a secure containment locker at Site L. Access to the remnants is restricted to Level 4 personnel and requires written authorization from the Site Director for research purposes only.

Description: FOC-077 was an anomalous painting consisting of a blank, white canvas with no visible markings. Upon close inspection, individuals could project their past regrets onto the canvas, resulting in the spontaneous manifestation of vivid depictions of their regrets. The emotions elicited by the paintings could range from guilt and sadness to extreme distress.

The anomalous property of FOC-077 was most evident when multiple individuals projected their regrets onto the same canvas. As more individuals focused on their regrets, the canvas would gradually fill with increasingly detailed and intricate depictions of their respective past actions or decisions. The regrets depicted on the canvas were not limited to visual representations but could also trigger sensory perceptions related to the regrets, such as sounds, scents, and tactile sensations.

The emotional intensity of the projections often led to psychological distress in viewers, and in some cases, spontaneous and uncontrollable manifestations of the regrets themselves. The manifestations were short-lived and confined to the immediate vicinity of the painting. However, in rare cases, particularly powerful regrets appeared to gain a degree of sentience and influence over the individuals projecting them.

Incident FOC-077-Termination occurred during a breach involving FOC-021. As FOC-021 wreaked havoc within Site L, containment protocols for FOC-077 were compromised. In the chaos, FOC-077 was damaged when it was struck by debris. The canvas of FOC-077 was ripped, resulting in a sudden release of energy and a disintegration of the painting. The remnants of FOC-077 disintegrated into particles and vanished into thin air.

Termination Log - Incident FOC-077-Termination

During the breach involving FOC-021, containment breaches occurred throughout Site L. FOC-077's containment chamber sustained damage due to structural instability caused by FOC-021's rampage. As debris fell from the ceiling, a large piece struck the canvas of FOC-077, ripping it in the process. The canvas emitted a brilliant flash of light, followed by the disintegration of the painting. The disintegration was accompanied by a release of energy that briefly disoriented nearby personnel.

The remnants of FOC-077 dissipated into small particles and disappeared within seconds. No further anomalies or effects were observed. Due to the circumstances of the breach and the termination of FOC-077, subsequent research and analysis were rendered impossible.

Note from Assistant Director of Site L: The neutralization of FOC-077 comes as a relief, as its unpredictable effects and potential psychological harm posed significant challenges to containment and research efforts. The termination of FOC-077 underscores the necessity of maintaining rigorous containment protocols and responding swiftly to breaches to minimize the impact of anomalous entities and objects.
