ADF-25 photographed at its initial discovery area
File #: ADF-25
Danger Class: Gula1 Utile
Obscurity Class: Tetra
Current Whereabouts: ADF-25 is stored inside independent researcher █████'s bathroom faced down and kept folded at all times unless necessary.
Description: ADF-25 is an A-frame OSHA compliant plastic wet floor sign, painted in a bright yellow color and features a black humanoid slipping icon and a warning text written in bold ("CAUTION - WET FLOOR"). It is about 24 inches, weighs about 3 to 4 pounds and otherwise similar to most typical wet floor signs commercially available.
When ADF-25 is deployed upright on a surface with both sides opened, ADF-25 will cause the surface below it within a 3 meters radius to become ridiculously slippery as if there is an invisible lubricant puddle on the area. Regardless of the material, roughness or terrain properties of the surface, any person walking through the area will slip and fall at least once, even if slipping is physically impossible on said surface. ADF-25's anomalous properties does not manifest if the sign is folded, placed face down on the ground or in any other configurations except placed like how a standard janitor would deploy a wet floor sign. It is to be noted that the sign's effects also occurs on other living animals and non-humanoid organisms.

DATE: Jan 5, 2023
LOCATION: █████'s house
SUBJECT: First experiments
SURFACE TESTED: Wooden floor, dry grass lawn, concrete driveway
Wooden floor
Slipped 2 times forward, 3 times backward. Light bruises, no major injuries.
Note: I swear I had my socks off while experimenting.
Dry grass lawn
Slipped once forward. No injuries
Note: Nearly hit my head into the wall but fall short, and the grass isn't even damp!
Concrete driveway
Slipped 5 times forward, 2 times backward. Minor bleeding from left hand as it lands on a piece of rock, multiple scratches all around my body.
Note: I should be more careful testing on rough surfaces.
LOG 3
DATE: Jan 10, 2023
LOCATION: Nearby playground
SUBJECT: Testing with more surface types and discovering some anomalous properties
SURFACE TESTED: Sand, plastic slide
Sand
Slipped 5 times backward. No injuries
Note: How can you even slip on dry sand? Sure you can sink through it, but dry sand cannot turn into a slip-n-slide. Also, it seems to doesn't work if you just stand still near it, but move your feet by a tiny bit and you'll eat the dirt.
Plastic slide
Slipped once forward. Minor bruises
Note: I thought it'd be a fun idea to use this to force myself going down those slides, that is until I fell face first on and ended up with my head in the ground. The kids there laughed at me.

DATE: Mar 20, 2023
LOCATION: Nearby hiking trails
SUBJECT: Distance discovery
SURFACE TESTED: Muddy hills, rocky cliffs
Muddy hills
Slipped 3 times forward, once backward. No injuries
Note: I approached it with a tape measure, nothing happened until I pass the 3 meters mark, seems to be the same for all directions. Maybe it works within a 3 meters radius.
Rocky cliffs
Slipped once backward. Nearly broke an arm, and there's blood on my head.
Note: I forgot ADF-25 was anomalous, placed it down right next to me on a cliff and fell right down. Luckily, I got caught by a ledge down a meter. Recovered in the hospital after climbing back to the trails and safely stored it inside my car.

After an unintended accident (which I chose not to disclose), I've discovered that living organisms and animals also subject to ADF-25's effects
