Item Number: 003

Anomaly Class: Code Blue

Containment Protocol: Anomaly-003 is to be contained within a 1x1x2 glass container within a 3x3 room. No further precautions are required, but only personnel with deep psychological issues or a Level 2 security clearance or higher are to be allowed inside the containment cell.

Anomaly Description: Anomaly-003 is a quill pen measuring 1/2 meters in length.Upon further inspection, the quill appears to consist of a feather from a sharp-shinned hawk Accipiter striatus. The feather itself is light brown in color with black edges. Otherwise, it is completely unremarkable.

Anomaly-003's anomalous properties only manifest when used to write. Through some means that have yet to be fully understood, the anomaly has the ability to affect the user's mind, causing them to sincerely believe everything they have written. While whatever is written will not manifest in the real world, the writer's psychological state will change and they will believe what they have written as fact.

Addendum: Through various experiments, it was discovered that when used by mentally-disturbed or depressed individuals to write positive thoughts, the anomaly caused them to completely change personalities, becoming happier people with a more positive outlook on life. The potential of Anomaly-003 to cure depression and other psychological issues has not been ignored.

Experiment Log 4/12/1956: Test subject-035 was given Anomaly-003, sat down at a table, and told to write anything he wished. The subject was noticably skeptical. Presumably as a prank or show of indifference, TS-035 wrote "If this freaking pen is magic, then I'm Abraham Lincoln". Immediately, TS-035's personality completely changed to that of 16th United States President Lincoln. While TS-035's appearance and voice remained the same, his mannerisms had been completely altered. Astonishingly, TS-035 was able to recite the entirety of the Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation (despite having never heard either before) and talk for several hours about "his" life and backstory, completely accurate in every detail. More interviews with TS-035 to be conducted later.
