Name: The Starving Mass
Entity Number: Subject: 002
Object Class: Dangerous
Clearance Level: Level 3
File by: [Redacted]
Origin
Subject: 002 is a gelatin mass, composed of a flesh-like material composed of carbon and quite similar to that of human muscle tissue. This creature was originally found and reported in Barley Barber Swamp, Florida. Although size or exact mass is unknown since its mass and shape always changes depending on current situations or decreased/increased feeding habits.
Behavior:
Subject: 002’s consumption includes almost any organic material such as plants, animals, bacteria, etc. It doesn’t seem to hate or dislike other organic life forms, but when in a frightened or panicked emotional state it will attempt to consume enough organic matter to gain size depending on what situation it is in. It seems to be well sentient and has increased awareness of its surroundings even though it has no physical or visable senses of its environment.
Any heated or sharp weapons used against Subject: 002 will result in a low screeching noise. It takes damage to sharp objects such as knives and any sort of heat above 45 degrees celsius. Although knife wounds are easily voidable since they heal at a decent rate, heat tends to weaken and sometimes permanently damage certain masses of flesh, forcing Subject: 002 to go into a stage of losing mass on command.
Testing:
Subject: 002 only has been in testing 4 times, since when it feels threatened, it attacks personnel and consumes them. This entity has not yet been tested or interacted with other entities of Site: 012. The testing has been done within its cell since safely transporting Subject: 002 to a cell specifically for testing proves quite a challenge, since Subject: 002 can slip through small cracks because of its gelatinous composure and can multiply or switch its mental state between different chunks of mass. So it Subject: 002 were to split into multiple peices, it can switch its mental form to another piece other than the mass it currently controls.
The testing was just interacting and seeing what seems to damage Subject: 002 such as fire, knives, and gun wounds, but no further testing has been conducted as of [Redacted], 2022.
Containment:
Subject: 002 is to be contained in a fiberglass container approximately 10 by 10 meters and 9 meters tall. Such a sized container is for studying its growth habits and a second containment cell is constructed alongside the first in case Subject: 002’s size were to mysteriously grow and not be controlled.
The wall separating the two cells is mounted on two large blast doors that can be opened when level 3 personnel or the Foundation authorize it. The first containment cell has a weighted plate under the floor and when Subject: 002 gains too much mass or starts to fill the room from its growth, it will also open the blast doors into a much larger room.
The Second Containment cell is 50 by 50 meters and is currently not in use since Subject: 002 has never gained mass over the weight of 1814.37 kilograms or 2 US tons of mass at a time.
