"Project" Lighthouse ".
This building is shrouded in mystery. It is not reliably known by whom, and for what purpose, it was built, since all information on the project was carefully classified. Only one thing is clear - the project was devoted to the study of quantum effects at the macroscopic level, including the teleportation of information. However, due to an unknown error during the next launch, the main installation of the project disappeared from our reality ...
The structure looks like a spheroid with a disc-shaped emitter, located on four metal supports about 30-35 m above the ground. The spheroid, or "Eye", rotates freely around its axis, and can change the tilt of the emitter by 30 ° relative to the horizon. The emitter is surrounded by a ring with red signal lights to warn aircraft and to observe the operation of the installation from a distance, at night or under adverse conditions.
The installation can suddenly appear at a random point in the world, and after five hours it disappears without a trace. There were 14 such appearances recorded. Where she is between appearances is unknown. There is a hypothesis that at this time the installation is in a different dimension (codenamed "Another World"). Due to the randomness of appearances, the short rest time, as well as the anomalous effects that the installation causes, it is problematic to study or destroy it.
If the installation occurs within a settlement, it is independently activated and begins to rotate the emitter. In this case, all sorts of abnormal effects are manifested (see below.), Negatively affecting a person. In this case, it is necessary to evacuate the local population as soon as possible within a radius of five hundred meters from the installation, connecting all emergency response services ...
The primary anomalous effect is the disappearance of humans and animals. If the installation appeared less than twenty meters from a residential building, then all its inhabitants disappear without a trace. At the same time, all belongings and even clothes remain in the house. Robots and other complex mechanisms begin to lag, give errors and perform meaningless operations, until they are discharged.
Another, already permanent effect - accelerated discharge of all energy sources, from mobile phone to car batteries. Often, this leads to a power outage throughout the area where the installation appeared. Scientists believe that in this way the eye replenishes the supply of energy for a new movement.
The secondary effect - seeing walls - appears after an hour of the installation being within the urban area. Numerous formations in the form of human eyes appear on any surface. The structures mimic eyeball movements, blinking, and can move along the surface of walls and ceilings, making a sound similar to white noise or whispering. If a person interacts with one of these objects, several local anomalous phenomena occur, from time dilation to distortion and refraction of space. The phenomenon lasts from two minutes to an hour.
The tertiary effect is the appearance of portals in the walls of the house, glowing with a reddish light. Through these portals, into our reality can penetrate (...).
The radiation of the installation acts at a distance of about two kilometers, and affects the human psyche. Citizens who came under the direct beam of the emitter later complained of insomnia, paranoia, nightmares, panic attacks, many later turned to a psychotherapist.
There is a set of facts proving that the structure has its own intellect, hostile to humans, and does not allow getting too close to itself. When trying to destroy the installation with a paired missile strike, she was moved to another part of the city, thereby doubling the territory of the anomalous impact. In addition, the missiles could not be stopped in time, and the strike was delivered to residential houses. Fortunately, due to the timely evacuation, casualties were minimal. Later, it was decided that the detonation of the charge must be done manually, inside the sphere or on one of the supports. A rapid response team is being prepared for this mission ... "
