Anomaly 1: "Crawfish brawl"

Instructions

Anomaly 2 -- type: odd anomaly, low threat containment stuffies: Anomaly 2, otherwise known as the Crawfish brawl is to be kept in a standard locked frozen storage compartment at Site 01 kept no colder than 60 degrees fahrenheit and no hotter than 70 degrees fahrenheit. A lid made of reinforced steel is also to be placed on top of the crawfish pot and sealed with magnetic metal clampers. The Crawfish brawl must be kept under supervision and no Scientist without proper lower class clearance is allowed to unlock the compartment. Description: The Crawfish brawl is the collection of three anomalies. Anomaly 1 is a large stainless steel crawfish pot estimated to be able to hold 60 quarts of liquid and therefore 30 pounds of crawfish. Both the usual Crawfish pot lid and inner strainer have not been recovered yet*. Anomaly 1 can be damaged although there is an upper limit to the amount of Anomaly 1 that can be damaged, about 1.5 centimeters of Anomaly 1 can be scraped away until the material gets too hard to go any further. Anomaly 1-2 are estimated to be 500-1000 instances of Cambarus sp. or the common crayfish. All instances of Cambarus are assumed to be cooked, their shells assume a red color and they are unresponsive to stimuli prompting the assumption that they are cooked. Genetic testing has shown they are identical to wild and domestic populations of Cambarus sp and that they are perfectly edible and thoroughly cooked. Instances of Anomaly 1-2 cannot decompose and maintain a consistent volume of Anomaly 1 even if it is emptied fully**. Anomaly 1-2 does decompose naturally though if shredded into small chunks or once consumed by a human or any other large animal capable of engulfing the bits of crawfish and consuming it. Anomaly 1-3 appears to be a subspecies of Cambarus sp roughly five feet in length and estimated to way 100~ pounds although genetic testing has been inconclusive and hard to accomplish, Anomaly 1-3 also has several markings above its eye stalks that resemble the bioluminescent glow of deep sea creatures. 1-3 also appears cooked and red and emits steam along with having a larger than usual left claw. Anomaly 1-3 only manifests*** when an individual manages to consume 3 pounds of Anomaly 1-2 within 5 meters vicinity of the pot. Anomaly 1-3 emerges via climbing out of the pot without disturbing instances of Anomaly 1-2 out of their place. Once Anomaly 1-3 manifests it will sit on top of Anomaly 1 and engage visual contact with the person who consumed the three pounds of Anomaly 1-2. If the person is unable to assume visual contact with Anomaly 1-3 than it will manifest anyways but stare at the person****. Anomaly 1-3 will than proceed to flash it's bioluminescent markings while snapping it's claws together rapidly, this action causes the person unease and a feeling of malaise. Anomaly 1-3 will continue this action for 10 minutes until the person flees. Subjects note that they felt anomalously forced into these actions and that their feelings of fear were induced and not natural. Brain testing shows that no fear response was induced but subjects reported fear anyways. After scaring off the subject Anomaly 1-3 will retreat back into Anomaly 1 and the Crawfish brawl will resume once more as it had before the person consumed three pounds of Anomaly 1-2. Reports: Subjectee 1 was instructed to consume 3 pounds of Anomaly 1-2, upon introduction to the anomaly Subject rapidly started consuming Anomaly 1-2 stating it as "the best food I've ever eaten". Once the three pounds mark was reached, Anomaly 1-3 appeared but subjectee was preoccupied consuming the instances of 1-2. Subject than picked up Anomaly 1-3 out of an eating fit and bit down on the creature's hard carapace. Subject immediately dropped Anomaly 1-3 as it took it's large left claw and engaged into hand to hand combat with the Subject. Subject was laughing intensely as they ran around Anomaly 1-3. Eventually 1-3 retreated back into the pot as Subject noted it was "the most funny thing I have seen my entire life, it did look tasty though". Research into this incident is being conducted.
