Origin
A "Holiday Memories" branded white plastic tree with a green plastic stand.
The artifact was retrieved from a Canadian research station established on Ross Island in Antarctica, where it was brought in to celebrate the holiday season. In 1979 a solar flare resulted in radiation which damaged the radio, severing the bases only means of communication with the world. After the frozen passages were opened, a military expedition with engineers visited the base to re-establish contact. Upon arrival they discovered all six of the base's occupants in various states of madness, all rambling about voices in the tree. Military personnel also noted that they thought the tree was speaking. Agents then intervened collecting the artifact.
Effects
Repeats words and phrases spoken within a range of ten feet, always in a tone below 20 Hz. This verbal mimicry has distressing effects on the victim.
