- [color=#a4885c]Danger:[/color] Increases the severity of an anomaly.
- [color=#a4885c]Unstable:[/color] Increases the instability of an anomaly.
- [color=#a4885c]Containment:[/color] Increases the stability at the cost of health.
Which particle type corresponds to each effect is unique and can be learned by scanning the anomaly.
The A.P.E. can also be locked by anyone with science access, which prevents it from being deconstructed, turned on or off, or having the particle type switched.
