A-013 Tempus Coils

CACG Item File
Item A-013 is the designation given to a group of approximately 80 identical small anomalous components. In the data sheet recovered alongside them, they are referred to as "Temporal Manipulation Coils." The first and only known instances of A-013 were discovered following a raid on a warehouse located in San Arturo, which was believed to be rented out by Iron Front operatives for the storage of anomalous weapons bought from the Syndicate.

A-013 instances, when properly energized and interfaced, will emit a beam of anomalous energy that will alter the flow of time for a specific object in relation to our timeline. In the most basic of applications, this either be aging or de-aging a target, but it has uses far beyond that scope. The magnitude of this effect is seemingly unlimited with enough energy supplied to the A-013 instance, with it being noted that it can age both depleted uranium armor, rock, and even flesh all to decay, corrosion, and dust within a matter of minutes.

A-013 instances are to be stored at Anomalous Component Locker 3B at Psyche-2. When not in use, instances of A-013 that have been previously operated should be stored separate from the "fresh" instances. To date, only about 9 A-013 instances have seen permanent use, with the most notable being the Temporal Dislocation Booth used by Task Force "Timekeepers." The medical department is also in possession of two coils for treatment of time-based anomalous attacks, such as rapid aging or de-aging of an operative.

Note from Medical Dept. Head, Dr. Du Bois [028-CMLT]
''For the love of whatever passes for a god in this agency, stop using these damn things for your culinary pet projects. We don't even know the full extent of these things on the human biology, much less the universe, and you're using them to age your cheeses and wines? Not to mention the staff coming into the infirmary aged to all hell. Have some damn respect for the laws of space and time, and leave the experimentation to the pros.''
