Description: AEP - 009 is the collective designation of an anomalous deposit of oil, sourced from a remote Greenlandic location. Oil sourced from this deposit is capable of "regenerating" mass to fill the empty space surrounding it, exclusively when in contact with a living creature. Where this mass derives from is not currently understood, however due to additional anomalous effects detailed later in this report it is assumed to "grow" and derive mass from assimilating sentient/sapient thought upon contact.

AEP - 009 has an additional anomalous property when placed into any configuration of combustion style engine as fuel. AEP - 009 appears to "explore" the engine and machine if any its attached to, gaining an apperant understanding of the current state of the machine- including all faults and tool markings. Upon combustion the gas byproducts produced by AEP-009, or any refined products derived thereof, are universally non-toxic in nature. When these gas products are inhailed by a sapient being, all knowledge absorbed by AEP-009, both through contact mediated absorbtion or direct explortion, are immedatiely transferred to the inhaler- up to and including any changes to the state of the machinery.

Through significnt expendature of resources and anomalous cross-experimention with AEP -009, several iterations of refined oil analogous to those produced commerically have been cleared for mass production. The variations and their notable difference from the baseline effects of AEP-009 are listed below

Butane Gasoline Kerosine Diesel
Notable traits: Butane-based instances show a larger burst of energy produced by initial combustion, followed by a gradual loss of function until remaining matter becomes distinctly sluggishness to combust compared to other instances. Similarly, butane-based instances uniquely expereience rapid loss of stored information during combustion. Notable traits: Gasoline-based instances produce significantly greater fuel efficeincy than other forms of AEP-009, but is prone to volatile bursts while "feeding" from sapient entities. While unlikely to cause long term mental damage, this unexpected feeding will invariably cause disorientation, and may act as a mild amnestic during larger "flair ups". To be used with caution. Notable traits: Kerosine-based instances produce very little growth while absorbing sapient thought, requring far more to be produced in useable quantities. Gasses produced by combustion are, as a consequence, vastly more dense with information than other confugurations of AEP-009. Recommended for use as covert information trasnfer. Notable traits: Diesel-based instances show by far the fastest and most consistent "growth" while feeding, with a level of fuel efficiency analogous to the baseline iteration of AEP-009. Feeding process presents a high likelyhood of the removal of all higher brain function. Only to be handled by O class personnel

AEP- 009 was first discovered within a now AEP controlled oil reservoir in ■■■■■■ Greenland. The location of this reservoir has been removed from satellite imaging via anomalous means, and all traces of the prior ownership have been erased. The masking of extraction operations, as well as larger scale refinement operations, have gone smoothly, and is believed this will continue for the foreseeable future due to the remote nature of AEP -009's origin point.

Maintenance Protocols: All stored instances of AEP -009 are to be kept in specifically designed plastic leak proof capsules. No personnel above class 2 are to directly interact with AEP-009 outside of specifically apporved information transfer operations.

Instances used for their energetic properties are to only be used with machinery/vehicles modified with specialized engine systems that dilute produced gas products to undetectable levels before release. Diesel instances being utilized must have a designated Clase 0 personnel housed nearby in case of critical failure requiring its usage.

Value Assessment: AEP-009 is of very high value to the Association. It's usage in complex machinery requiring fuel can ensure a secured advantage against any and all Association adversaries in terms of our equipment's consistent reliability, as faults can be detected immediately as they occur, and cut down dramatically on a system failure during a containment breach or raid. Useage for information gathering and transfer are also vitally important to the Association, and ensures instances are to be kept out of non-Association hands at all costs.
