Object Type: Living, Loci, Spatial
Threat Level: Massively Inimical

Containment Procedure
Task Force Delta-7-Sigma ("Cape Cutters") and Bravo-9-Alpha ("Chain-breakers") are to be deployed permanently to the city of Olympia. They are not to engage in hostilities unless Directive Bronco is initiated. They are not to engage with the Item or any people associating with the item, and are to observe remotely.

Due to the Midwich Valley Incident, all agents in the assigned task forces are required to regularly take Yomi-level anti-memetics. Dosages are to be prescribed by task force doctors on an individual basis.

Links with Noteable Group(s) #13 "The Kobbers", NG #14 "Kamen Riders", and NG #19 "The Church of Variola Memera" are being investigated by ATLAS.

Physical Description
Item #052 is a small store that trades in comic books, hobby supplies, animated movies and electronic entertainment. The store has had multiple monikers (see note 1) during its operating period. No Employer Identification Numbers or trademarks have been filed for any of the names the store or owner trades under. The store is solely operated by one Vincent Simmons (age 26, Caucasian, born July 8th in -----, Nevada), who appears to live in the store and has no registered home address.

The store is regularly perused by both civilians and by members of NG #13. Vincent Simmons has been filed as a member of both NG #13 and NG #14.

Effects and Abilities
Item #052 shows multiple confirmed anomalous properties, including but not limited to;

• The ability to relocate, via an unknown method, to any convenient location.
• A defiance of regular spatial properties - the store can have much larger internal dimensions than is feasible for the space it occupies.
• Sale of multiple anomalous goods and services, many of which depict persons associated with NG #13 and NG #14. These goods are branded by trademarks and companies not registered in the United States or anywhere else in the world. A sample list of anomalous items is being filed for seizure and classification.

Unconfirmed anomalous properties include;

• Price tags and signage being written in a hieroglyphs or symbols not found in antiquity or current writing systems.
• Apparent telepathic communications with an outside being.
• Animation of inanimate objects, particularly the goods sold by the store. This may range from precise animation of a figurine, to sudden movement of larger items.
• Forced, immediate relocation or teleportation of people and items.

Reports of tentacular appendages appearing from the walls and floor of the store have not been corroborated by additional sources.

Vincent Simmons has access to a Transformation Device, marking him as a member of NG #14. He operates as a vigilante under the name "Kamen Rider Ex-Aid", and is currently hosting an informal class teaching other metahumans and members of NG #13 vigilante tactics and martial arts. This has placed him on watch-lists within the intelligence community as a possible militia ringleader.

Item History:
Item #052 was reported in Las Vegas in 2016, and has been sighted in close proximity to NG #13 and GOI #14 multiple times over the past four years. This includes the island of Kuwahawi and the Outer City of of the Olympia Project. The latter is believed to be linked to the creation of NG #19.
