# Anomalous Research
Anomalous Research is a subdepartment of Science focused around the containment and manipulation of various unique anomalies.
## Equipment
<Box>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="AnomalyScanner"/>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="MachineAnomalyVessel"/>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="MachineAPE"/>
</Box>
Scanners, vessels, and A.P.E.s are all used in the containment and observation of anomalies.
<Box>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="MachineAnomalyGenerator"/>
</Box>
The anomaly generator can produce a random anomaly somewhere on the station at the cost of plasma.
## Anomalies
Anomalies are static objects that appear on the station. They cannot be moved, and must be worked around, no matter their location.
<Box>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="AnomalyPyroclastic"/>

Each anomaly has three main stats, two of which can be seen in anomaly scans:
- [color=#a4885c]Severity:[/color] This is a numerical value corresponding to the danger of an anomaly.
- [color=#a4885c]Stability:[/color] Shown as either decaying, stable, or growing; this is how frequently and widespread the effects will be.
- [color=#a4885c]Health:[/color] Health is a hidden stat. It decreases when you use [color=#a4885c]containment particles[/color] on an anomaly. If you use too many, the anomaly will disappear.
## Pulses and Supercritical Events
The most dangerous effects of anomalies are seen during [color=#a4885c]pulses[/color] and [color=#a4885c]supercritical events[/color].
Pulses are semi-regular bursts of anomalous effects. They're moderately dangerous, scaling with both the severity and stability of an anomaly.
Supercritical events are only seen if an anomaly reaches 100% severity. If this happens, the anomaly will swell before disappearing into a catastrophic event. These should be avoided at all costs!
