CONTAINMENT PROCEDURE:
None known. Testing in the Investigations Sector is currently ongoing.
DESCRIPTION/ALTERED EFFECT:
A vending machine, its front covered in a faux-wood panel. Coin-operated, buttons for selecting food products.
The item generates and stores a variety of material (both edible and otherwise) in its rows of internal trays. Initial testing suggests the item reacts to the mind of the individual in closest proximity and will produce whatever they subconsciously desire.
Attempts to cause the item to create a living [REDACTED] have consistently failed.
BACKGROUND:
The item was discovered in a nursing home in [REDACTED], Alberta after a resident named Muriel [REDACTED] called a local news station about a "magic" vending machine. The news story reported that the nursing home's staff was purposefully stocking the machine with distinctive food and objects as a way to raise residents' spirits. The Bureau response team encouraged this story while confiscating the item.
