07 - Juice
Item 5287503 - Anomalous Juice Stand
Object was a juice stand on the city of [REDACTED], Pernambuco, located near the Paraíba state line. The location is a small seaside city with some tourism presence but economic activity based mostly on fishing. According to residents, a juice stand appeared on the beach overnight on 02/12/1994 and a person started selling juice. The person appeared uncanny to residents, as its body language was strange and it seemed to be constantly wearing a low quality rubber mask. Residents also claim to have never seen the operator leave or close the stand.
The stand was a sphere two meters in diameter, apparently tapered at the bottom. Its felt like regular fiberglass to the touch. Objects inside the stand, like a cash register and a juice fountain, appeared non-anomalous. On one side, an opening allowed costumers to be served. A sign under it said "Juice for Humans", with a price below written in chalk. The price would be average from commonly available fruit juice in the area. No door was visible.
DPA assets were only able to examine the object on 18/12/1994. A partial transcript of their approach follows:
Agent: Good morning.
Object: Good morning, young human! Would you like some juice?
A: I would. What flavours do you have?
O: We have all the flavours!
A: I mean, what kind of juice are you selling?
O: The best kind!
A: But is it fruit juice?
O: It's juice for humans. Want a cup?
A: Fine. We'll have four cups.
The agents were then served four cups, which were brought back to the vehicle for later analysis. Upon seeing this, the being manning the booth became alarmed and jumped out through the opening, attempting to stop the agents, shounting that the juice was 'for immediate consumption'. A veteran agent later said that the creature's movement were unnatural, and while it seemed to have a generally humanoid body shape, it didn't seem used to move in it, and suggested it was like 'a creature with four legs, or more, pretending to have only two'.
In order to assure the samples were recovered, two agents moved to secure them while two others deployed the initial cover, stating that they were with the stateside health agency to verify that the stand met with higiene standards. To their suprise, the creature ceased its attack and moved back inside the stand, telling agents to wait 'only a moment' and that it would allow them entry shortly.
The creature closed the opening (which turned the stand into a seamless sphere) and then the sphere descended into the ground. No hole was left. Later analysis showed that the ground was disturbed in a tunnel in the sphere's diameter, straight downwards, for as far as instruments could read (roughly one kilometer).
The juice was later analyzed and shown to be a drinkable liquid, although its molecular structure matches no known substance on Earth. Molecular analysis is ongoing. The latest theory suggests that the proteins in the liquid are dextro-proteins (which would not be able to be processed by humans) turned into the reverse chirality through nanomanipulation, although there is little evidence for that.
In an unsanctioned test, a researched who drank the liquid described its taste as 'nothing I've tasted before' and, later as 'if you filled a still with Guaraná Jesus [a brand of guarana-based soft drink, very common in the Brazilian Northwest] and sugar until you had something as alcoholic as vodka, then threw that on a grove of lemon trees and set it on fire, then bottled the smoke'. Medical analysis did not show any adverse on anomalous effects happened to the researcher.
The cups were identical to ordinary store-bought plastic cups.
