Item Number: 011

Anomaly Class: Code Yellow

Containment Protocol: Anomaly-011 is located within the outback of Northern inland Australia. An area three miles in diameter surrounding the anomaly has been quarantined and no fewer than six armed guards are to patrol the area in order to prevent civilian access and prevent escape of instances of Anomaly-011-2.

Only standard prey organisms are to be allowed in and out of the quarantine border, such as wombats, cattle, and horses. Personnel with a Level 3 Security Clearance or higher may enter as needed.

In order to prevent escape of Anomaly-011-2 instances via subterranean tunnels, a seismic tracking system has been set up around the perimeter of the quarantine area and must be monitored at all times.

Anomaly Description: Anomaly-011 is a large tower of hardened clay and feces, approximately 24.38 meters in height and 6.40 meters in diameter at its base. The tower is known as a termite mound and houses upwards of 2,000 instances of Anomaly-011-2, both in the tower itself and within a massive system of subterranean chambers and tunnels theorized to stretch as much as one mile below the surface (based on seismic readings).

The surface of Anomaly-011 is riddled with various entrances and exits approximately 0.46 meters in diameter. These holes allow for air ventilation and easy access between the inner tunnels and the outside. The tower itself is constructed of hardened red clay and the feces belonging to various prey animals. As of yet, construction on the anomaly is still being done by its inhabitants.

Instances of Anomaly-011-2 are large insects of the sub-order Isoptera (termites). Specimens range anywhere from 0.23 to 0.30 meters in length on average, although this is depending on the specimen in question. The creatures are completely blind, lacking any eyes whatsoever.

Instances of Anomaly-011-2 are eusocial, living in a complex and highly-organized society consisting of workers (smaller drones who forage for food and supplies outside the mound), soldiers (larger individuals who serve as guards), and a single egg-laying queen. Video footage recorded by a scout drone piloted into the tunnels beneath Anomaly-011 showed a size comparison between the queen and the average worker; researchers estimate the queen to measure three (3) meters or more in length.
