ITEM #: Q0092

THREAT CATEGORY: Lukewarm

______________________________________________________________________________


ADVANCED SECURITY PROTOCOLS: article Q0092 is to be kept on-site under 23.5-hour surveillance. A class 17 category CVX-00 modular camouflage grid is to enclose the aberration. Functional perimiter is to be tested daily for fluctuation. All subjects exposed to Q0092 memetic effects are to be neutralized.

______________________________________________________________________________


ARTICLE SPECIFICS: Q0092 manifests as a fast food ordering menu and intercom outside the empty shell of a civilian storage facility. Individuals entering a functional perimiter without class 9 perceptual stabilizers experience escalating hunger, impaired judgment, unusual cravings and spontaneous expansive conceptualization, perceiving a fully staffed, active restaurant chain.

Affected individuals will immediately attempt to order an item from the menu then navigate around to the Northern wall of the storage building where a rectangular section of the structure will horizontally slide open. The interior of this aperture is impenetrable by light, but a soft "gibbering" can be heard from within. No such opening can be observed from the interior of the structure, and no seams can be detected when the "window" is closed. If the surrounding wall has been relocated for analysis or otherwise damaged, the window will manifest on the next closest vertical surface. No limit to this projection range has yet been found. Further testing of this mechanism has been discontinued following Incident Q0092-73.

Upon navigating to the "window," the "customer" will attempt to pay for their order with any form of currency on their person or within a roughly six foot radius of the transaction window. If no known form of currency is on the subject's person, the subject will "pay" with any loose materials available, including buttons, weeds, handfuls of soil or articles of clothing. With all loose or removable materials cleared from this radius, observed payments have included bodily waste, hairs, nails, teeth, and one known instance of payment via left ocular orb. Upon demanifestation of the window, money and other payment materials can be found simply crumpled and discarded immediately inside the structure.

On completion of payment, the subject will reach deeper into the opening and retrieve their "order," which they will immediately attempt to begin consuming. Subjects will resort to any means necessary to resist confiscation of these materials, and refuse any other sustenance until allowed to either consume their entire order or order another item. Successful consumption is nearly always followed by an exclamation of "mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm, just like momma used to make." The nature of the dispensed nutritive material varies, but usually resembles animal tissue. Many items superficially resemble known, common food items, but actual constituents may vary.

Subjects are unable to relay a specific name for the "restaurant," always referring to the facility as "aw, you know, the ole' boiga' joint down the street" (sic) regardless of their natural speech patterns or current geographical location. The duration of this effect is indeterminate, but unprotected subjects exposed to this description invariably respond "I could go for a big juicy one myself, now that you mention it" and will attempt to navigate to Q0092 by any possible means. Immediate termination of all testing subjects is recommended before this effect can be transmitted.

Agents with adequate protection cannot perceive the active restaurant, but can perceive menu items, the "window" and a garbled "screeching" from the menu intercom.

LOG OF NOTABLE Q0092 MENU ITEMS

Protected agents accompanied a series of F-class test subjects through their menu orders. Test subjects were subsequently terminated and their orders collected for study.
