Description: A swingset that, when sat on by a subject 8 years old or older, will teleport to the surface of Titan (the largest moon of Saturn) for 4 seconds. All items said subject is carrying (including other humans) will be teleported along with the subject. However, if the subject is not in contact with the swingset after 4 seconds, only the swingset will return. If another subject sits on the swingset while it is on Titan, said subject will return along with the swingset. The transit takes approximately 1.2 to 1.3 hours, due to it occuring at light speed. However, the transit will appear instantaneous to the passenger(s).
Date of Containment: 1981-07-13
Location: Atacama Desert, Chile
Security Protocol: On May 1982, Site-34 was constructed around the location, and following multiple tests to ensure safe transit between Earth and Titan, the Foundation space project “Good Hope” was initiated on December of that year.
On July 1983, the first-generation Carrier Suits1(TC-G01) were completed and a manned mission to Titan was carried out with a crew of 3 personnel (Agent Johnson, D-63922, D-67451 on carrier) in order to collect data on the surrounding area. Following several more missions, a temporary pressurized base (Extraterrestrial Outpost-12) was constructed on the immediate area around the arrival location.

On October 1985, the second-generation Carrier Suits2(TC-G02) were completed and the construction of a permanent Site on Titan was initiated following Ethics Committee approval. Meanwhile, Site-34 was expanded and renamed as the Sophia Light Space Center (LSC), and currently functions as a hub for other space missions and research projects.
The permanent base (designated Site-72) was completed 6 years later on October 1991. Site-72 currently functions as a center for research and Outer Solar System exploration. As of this time, Site-72 houses approximately 1,300 personnel and a total of ██ exploration missions have been conducted from Site-72.
On March 2008, a proposal to enlarge Site-72 for use as a last resort facility to evacuate civilians during a possible future XK-Class End-of-the-World Scenario has been approved by RAISA and the Ethics Committee. The construction process is currently ongoing and is expected to be completed by 2033.

Description: A small portion of the ground in a concrete parking lot where entities resembling spotted garden eels sporadically emerge from multiple holes in the ground.
The entities behave as if they are sumberged in a viscous substance similar to water, and demanifest when their entire body enters back into the hole they emerged from.
The entities are able to consume various metals, and appear to favor a diet of metal over that of plankton.
If a hole is filled or blocked, another hole will appear in its vicinity via unknown means.
Date of Containment: 2019-07-07
Location: Parking lot in Site-19 Facility 23
Security Protocol: Due to its location, security protocol is unnecessary at this time. The entities are being fed daily by employees.

Description: There is a cat.
Date of Containment: 2003-01-28
Location: [REDACTED] Island, Titan
Security Protocol: Due to the remote nature of the anomaly, no action is necessary at this time.

Description: A large area situated between floors 3 and 53 of the ████ hospital in Daejeon, South Korea. Currently, the only known means of accessing the location is by activating all buttons simultaneously in any of the elevators in said hospital. Altitude comparisons between floors 3 and 5 suggest that the area is located in an extra-dimensional location.
The inner structure of the location does not match the floor plans of the hospital, however the exterior dimensions of the area are consistent with the external hospital building. The interior is composed of three separate concentric sections, forming layers within each other. Each section will be referred to as Layer 1 through Layer 3, going from the outer layer to the center, for ease of documentation.
Layer 1: The walls of Layer 1 are coated thinly with a viscous, translucent white organic liquid, including the outer surfaces of the elevator doors. Genetic material matching that of multiple apian species have been recovered from the substance.
The floor and ceiling are composed of an anomalous dark gray beeswax-titanium alloy that has shown to be completely bulletproof. The walls are made of concrete and are in a slightly damaged state. However, small amounts of apian DNA has been recovered from dust samples.
Layer 1 is completely devoid of furniture, and the only sources of light are dim fluorescent lights placed along the top of the walls. The lights are presumably powered by an anomalous source.
The walls bordering Layer 2 have 17 entrances leading to the inside.
Layer 2: The floor and ceiling of Layer 2 is composed of another different beeswax-titanium alloy that emits a dim, irregularly pulsating yellow-tinted light via unknown means. Spectrometric analysis has confirmed that the EM spectrum of the light emitted from the alloy matches no stable element or compound that occurs naturally, though it is possible to replicate the spectrum via synthetic molecules.
The walls of Layer 2 are composed of concrete painted white with chalk-based paint. Depictions of bees and wasps in various sizes and styles are present on the surface of the walls. The pictures have shown to be non-anomalous in nature.
A total of 17 plastic benches are present along the inner wall of Layer 2. The benches are composed of non-anomalous PVC plastic, though the outside of their surfaces are coated with a different, slightly less viscous organic liquid similar to those coating the walls of Layer 1. The benches are approximately 2 meters wide with small protrusions, presumably used as tables, on either side. The benches possess multiple engravings in an unknown language, and a symbol resembling a bee is present in the center of the back panels. Notably, each bench engraving contains different text.
The inner wall of Layer 2 is cylindrical, unlike the outer wall bordering Layer 1. Two entrances are present on opposite sides of the wall leading into Layer 3.
Layer 3: Layer 3 is a large cylindrical room located in the center of the area. It is illuminated only by a single bright spotlight attached to the center of the ceiling. The ceiling of Layer 3 is placed significantly higher than the average ceiling height of the hospital, and appears to be a hollow hemispherical dome.
The walls, floor, and ceiling of Layer 3 are entirely covered in a dark red velvet-like cloth. Analysis of samples revealed that the material used in the cloth is both genetically and structurally identical to the hair of a honeybee.
In the center of Layer 3 is a smooth white cylindrical pedestal composed of a different beeswax-titanium alloy. A single non-anomalous corpse of a honeybee is present on the top of the pedestal, illuminated by the light above it.
