R-0736

 Relic #:  R-0736

Safety class: α

 Usage class : Time-related

 Physical description : A trackball which can be pressed down. Has 736 written on the back.

 Anomalous properties:  When R-0736 is pressed down (call this press A), a "waiting period" commences. After R-0736 is pressed again (call this press B) a time loop activates in the vicinity of R-0736. This time loop will stretch from time of press A to time of press B.

People in the loop retain all memories attained in each iteration: if an affected person leaves the place where R-0736 became active, they will be teleported back by the iteration's end. The only way to stop it happening further is to press R-0736 once more (aka: press C), which immediately skips time forward to baseline present.

At the end of each loop iteration, the room where R-0736 took effect is reverted to its appearance and properties when the loop started. Hedonism has been noted while using 0736, due to people seeing that their actions will be reverted.

At time of press C all memory of events after press A is forgotten and replaced with memory of what would be happening if the loop never started. The vicinity of R-0736 is changed similarly and any records of the loop made in its radius will disappear.

 Special safety notes:  Remember the location of R-0736 at all times so that, if active, a loop can be easily stopped.
