Deviation O-049 is an old white film camera with an ultra-long zoom lens. The exterior shows signs of wear, with several scratches and some peeling paint. O-049 weighs approximately 3.7 kilograms and is about 500 millimeters long, with an aperture range of f/2.8 to f/8. O-049's main Deviation power lies in is its sympathetic property: when used to photograph a living subject, the effects of the developed image are mirrored onto the subject. O-049 has some level of awareness. Typically, when a researcher attempts to influence the subject via the photograph, the result leans toward the researcher's intent (see experimental records below). However, if O-049 is not used for a prolonged period, or if the same image is photographed repeatedly, its Deviation effects will gradually turn negative and even risk causing serious harm. Experiment Record O-049-A-001 Date: ██\██\██ Subject: Researcher █████'s Welsh Corgi. Image: Subject standing side-on, turning its head to the camera, tongue out in a joyful expression. Photo processing: The photo was cropped vertically, cutting off the subject's tail. Result: The dog's tail was immediately severed and healed perfectly, as if it had been docked years ago. Throughout the experiment, the dog showed no signs of bleeding or pain, maintaining a happy and excited demeanor. Experiment Record O-049-A-002 Date: ██\██\██ Subject: Researcher █████ Image: Subject standing, holding O-049 for a selfie, smiling at the camera. Photo processing: Researcher █████ colored their hair green in the photograph with a fluorescent marker. Result: Researcher █████'s hair turned green, emitting a faint glow and glowing in the dark. This effect lasted over six months. Researcher █████ was removed from the O-049 project, demoted to V2, and had the next three quarters of performance bonuses deducted. (Note: Just because it's having fun doesn't mean it's a dress-up camera. Deviations are not toys to be misused—Site Supervisor ███.) Experiment Record O-049-A-002 Date: ██\██\██ Subject: High-risk Deviant sample ██-██-████ Image: Subject splitting into multiple amorphous black tendrils, shattering a reinforced S-Vessel, attempting to attack Site Supervisor ███. Photo processing: Researcher █████ grabbed the photo, then [Data Deleted]. Result: [Data Deleted]. Researcher █████ regained V3 privileges and was named Employee of the Month.
