Project 'Box' – Anomalous Containment Unit

"Activate Project 'Box'."

Overview

Project ‘Box’ is an experimental high-security containment device designed to restrain and neutralize Level Nine and higher supernatural threats. Measuring 40 feet (12.19 meters) by 20 feet (6 meters), its external appearance mimics that of an ordinary shipping container, allowing for easy transportation, concealed storage, and rapid deployment.

Constructed from a hyper-alloy blend of Titanium and Tungsten, its outer shell is engineered for extreme durability, making it nearly impervious to external forces. However, this formidable structure exists not to keep intruders out, but to contain what’s inside, a reality-bending anomaly that renders even the most powerful supernatural entities powerless.

The Box’s primary function is to detain supernatural threats with minimal collateral damage to SERT (Supernatural Enforcement Response Team) and Command assets. It features two double rolling shutter doors at either end, which can be hermetically sealed remotely or manually. A single emergency hatch, located on the exterior, is the only manual override, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access the unit.

Operation – The Reality Marble Containment Field

At its core, the Box functions as a Reality Marble, a self-contained pseudo-pocket dimension stabilized by Reality Anchors. Once activated, the Box distorts the fundamental perception of space and time within its boundaries.

Entities within the Box experience a deterioration of their supernatural abilities, particularly those reliant on magic, dimensional warping, or psychic projection. As time progresses, subjects inside the Box find their abilities fading, their perceptions warping, and their concept of reality collapsing.

Although those inside may feel as if they are moving within an infinite or ever-changing space, they never physically leave the Box’s actual dimensions. Any damage inflicted within the containment space does not persist, objects that are broken appear ‘fixed’ when the subject looks away, adding to the psychological disorientation.

The Tunnel: The First Manifestation

Many subjects report experiencing an ‘infinite tunnel’ upon entering the Box. This typically resembles:

A never-ending shipping container corridor, with the exit always appearing to move farther away.

A long hotel hallway, lined with doors that do not function.

A dark cave, seemingly endless and devoid of life.

If a subject turns around, the same effect occurs; the point of entry is no longer visible, trapping them in an inescapable loop.

The Labyrinth:The Second Manifestation

Other subjects report an entirely different manifestation—one that preys upon memory and familiarity.

They find themselves in rooms eerily similar to those from their past…old homes, workplaces, or personal spaces.

However, details seem ‘off’, furniture is misplaced, colors are inverted, or objects from different points in their life exist in the same room.

The Labyrinth constantly shifts and changes, extending far beyond the exterior dimensions of the Box.

Complete landscapes can be generated, though no living beings exist within them. However, some researchers have reported seeing ‘ghosts’, flickering entities appearing in the periphery of their vision. These are classified as "system glitches" with no actual foundation in reality.

Amendment: Researchers are no longer permitted to remain inside the Labyrinth Manifestation for more than 24 hours. Evacuation efforts must be made immediately if a research team is still inside.

If extraction is unsuccessful after 24 hours, teams are to be declared LOST.

The Forest :The Third Manifestation

The final recorded Box anomaly manifests as an endless, desolate forest.

The trees extend far higher than natural limits.

The terrain stretches for miles, despite the Box’s physical dimensions remaining constant.

No wildlife, insects, or other living entities exist within the Forest; except for the subject.

Like other manifestations, this realm exists solely to isolate and mentally destabilize the subject.

Remote Environmental Manipulation

SERT can remotely alter the internal conditions of the Box, modifying:

Temperature and atmospheric pressure.

Gas mixtures (oxygen, nitrogen, toxins, etc.).

Light levels (total darkness, blinding brightness, red-spectrum lighting, etc.).

Soundscape and ambient noise.

These functions can be controlled remotely from a secure command center, or manually adjusted using an onsite control interface (tablet or terminal).

Side Effects of Exposure

Due to its experimental nature, prolonged exposure to the Box has been associated with serious neurological and physiological side effects, including:

Schizophrenia-like symptoms.

Cognitive deterioration (memory loss, disorientation, paranoia).

Seizures.

Loss of primary senses (sight, hearing, smell, or taste).

Rapid aging or deterioration of biological functions.

In some cases, accelerated-onset prostate cancer (cause unknown).

These effects vary between subjects and are not yet fully understood.

Deployment Procedure

Deploying the Box is a straightforward but high-risk process:

Power Activation: The Box must be fully powered before use.

Entry Access: One or both doors must be opened.

Target Containment: The intended subject(s) must be lured or forcibly placed inside the Box.

Seal Activation: Once sealed, the Box activates its containment field.

Operation: The Box remains active until one of its seals is broken, at which point containment is terminated.

The Future of Supernatural Containment

Project ‘Box’ represents a breakthrough in supernatural containment technology, offering a near-inescapable method of restraining high-level entities. However, its unpredictable internal anomalies, long-term effects on both subjects and researchers, and possible system corruption raise serious ethical and safety concerns.

As SERT continues to refine its functionality, one truth remains clear….

Whatever enters the Box… may never truly leave.
