CAPTURE OF SUBJECT UE 002

* Discovered three days after the Eastwood Event on REDACTED. The subject was reported by civilians outside the quarantine, “Just walking about in broad daylight.”

* Military personnel contained UE 002’s exposure to the public by seizing all video and photographic evidence.

* See attached documents 002-A for a detailed list of evidence and 002-B for the compiled report of civilian interviews.

* Electroshock weaponry was found to be useless against the subject. The subject was apprehended physically, offering no resistance.

ASSOCIATED CASUALTIES

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

* Initial Capture:

* N/A

* Containment:

* Subject complies with examination, answers questions consistently, and has yet to harm any personnel.

* Containment Breaches:

* N/A

CONFIRMED ABILITIES

* Production of Oil:

* Molecularly identical to common olive oil.

* Unable to determine the species of olive or continent of origin.

* UE 002 produces more olive oil in one session than the subject’s initial mass.

* Wax Manipulation/Body:

* While the subject appears humanoid, all results show UE 002 is, except clothing, made entirely of paraffin wax.

* Blood samples not feasible. Hypodermic needles become obstructed with wax upon penetration of the subject’s skin.

* Magnetic Resonance Imaging revealed the subject’s interior is of uniform density with no internal organs.

* The subject moves without muscles, breathes without lungs, sees without retinas, etc.

* While the subject responds to stimuli, it is debatable whether UE 002 is ‘alive’ under conventional definitions.

* Ability to alter the shape of any wax present within a ten (10) meter range.

* The subject may create paraffin candles of any conceivable dimensions at any location within this range.

* The mass limitations of this ability are the subject of ongoing research.

* UE 002’s finesse enables hyper-realistic detail in its sculptures.

* See attached documents 002-F for the subject’s medical results and 002-G for data on the subject’s wax generation abilities.

* Pyrokinesis:

* UE 002 has demonstrated the ability to light or extinguish any candle or lamp wick within a ten (10) meter range.

ESCAPE RECORD:

* UE 002 has not attempted to breach containment.

RECOMMENDATION:

The subject displays no abilities relevant to UE 000. The subject’s pyrokinesis is of insufficient temperature to breach the barrier. However, due to UE 002’s low financial upkeep and zero-casualty history, it is recommended the subject remain on-site pending further developments.
