Anomaly Story
N-0683(Ob), commonly known as "Cheese," is an Anomaly that occasionally appears in places with a high concentration of photography equipment, such as camera shops, film sets, or large conventions. It blends in with ordinary photography gear, posing as a camera. When a scene catches its fancy, Cheese takes a photo on its own. Click! Then, everything within the frame falls into a state of stasis, unable to move. The duration of this effect varies from person to person, ranging from a few minutes to several dozen minutes. However, those who recover from the stasis seem to have no memory of what happened during that, and show no other abnormalities. By then, Cheese has already undergone nullification, satisfied with the photo it captured.
If you discover a camera that turns out to be Cheese, you can call yourself a "Photographer," which allows you to direct Cheese to capture what you want. Cheese will not include the Photographer in the frame when shooting, however, if none of the photos turn out to its satisfaction, it will turn around and freeze the Photographer before undergoing nullification on its own.
Anomaly Characteristics
· Appears similar to an ordinary camera.
· When taking a photo, everything within a certain range in front of the lens enters a state of stasis.
· The duration of stasis varies by individual, ranging from a few minutes to several dozen minutes. The effect on Espers is relatively weaker.
· Claiming to be a "Photographer" to Cheese allows control over what Cheese photographs.
Anomaly Nexus
Undergoes nullification after capturing a satisfying photo.
Risk Assessment
Low hazard.
Containment-Guarantee Status
Celaeno Compound has a certain quantity in containment. Public guarantees are permitted.
Containment Measures
Contain in a darkroom, ensuring the lens' field of view is completely dark.
Experiment Records
Research on the Duration of the Stasis Effect of the Anomaly Cheese
Experiment 1: Have the same person photographed by Cheese in different environments.
Conclusion: Significant variation in stasis duration.
Experiment 2: Photograph different people with Cheese in the same environment.
Conclusion: Significant variation in stasis duration.
Experiment 3: Photograph the same person with different instances of Cheese in the same environment.
Conclusion: Significant variation in stasis duration.
Note: That's it. I'm not falling for this again. You're not doing this for research at all. You're just trying to draw on my face while I'm frozen.
