Which task force is designated to acquire objects with visual cognitive hazards and initial containment?

• A. MTF Epsilon-9
• B. MTF Eta-10
• C. MTF Epsilon-11
• D. MTF Zeta-9

Answer: (B)

When a item has a visual cognitive hazard, the Foundation assigns a unit trained specifically to safely obtain and begin containment of such objects. Visual cognitive hazards are effects triggered by seeing or perceiving the object, which can distort perception, memory, or thought. Because the danger lies in looking at the item, handling it requires precautions that limit exposure—often using remote observation, protective viewing methods, or other safeguards—while the team secures the object and sets up initial containment to prevent spread or escalation.

The designated unit for this role is the See No Evil team, whose specialty is the retrieval, safe transport, and initial containment of visually hazardous artifacts. Their training and procedures focus on minimizing exposure during acquisition and establishing a foothold of containment quickly.

Other task forces serve different purposes and hazards, so they aren’t the ones tasked with acquiring objects that present visual cognitive hazards.
