Jack stands in the 3rd floor storage room where the heart is currently being contained at. Following the PARADIGM testing handbook, he has the proper equipment needed! A long metal rod, a stab resistant vest, and some gloves from a survival kit.
"Giant fuckin' purple hearts, creepy fuckin' thing." He mutters under his breath. The heart keeps thumping and thumping, blood slowly seeping out of it and onto the ground.
Jack pokes at the heart with a stick, making sure not to puncture it. The thumping quickly picks up, which calms down when Jack stops poking it. He steps closer and very, very carefully puts his hand on the heart.
Nothing happens at first. "Huh. Guess the stick wasn't necessa-" <span class="mu-b">His hand sinks into the heart's flesh like it was molten plastic.</span> "OKAY YEAH I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT."
He struggles to pull his hand out, only managing to sink it in deeper into the flowing mass of purple flesh. "HEY! HEY, CAN SOMEONE FUCKING HELP? HEY!" He digs his heels into the ground, pulling with all of his might.
Jack's arm finally gets pulled out of the arm. Due to not really expecting his arm to come out, the man stumbles wildly before falling right onto his ass. The impact causes a VHS tape to fall from one of the many shelves and onto his head. "OUCH."
He scratches his head with a red, thick claw. Then he looks at the claw he has instead of an arm. Then he looks at the security room camera. There's a moment of silence before he smashes his arm into the floor. A massive dent is made in the steel, twisting and warping it on impact.
"Holy shit." He stands back up. He decides to test out this new claw by smashing the rod against his newfound claw. The rod bounces off, only leaving a small bruise that quickly recovers. "Holy shit! This is cooler than I thought!"
For the rest of his experimentation, he tests out what exactly his arm can and can't break. An empty glass bottle, shattered. A hunk of scrap metal, crushed with some effort. The BLESSED CHAINS?...<span class="mu-b">he can't break.</span>
After a few minutes however, to both yours and his shock, the claw quickly melts away in chunks of flesh that fall onto the floor. All that's left now is a perfectly fine, healthy human arm.

PARADIGM NOTES - Employee J
-Well, you saw how it fucking turned my arm into a claw, so we can put "transmutation" as a property it has.
-Direct flesh on flesh contact appears to be necessary. Androids might not be able to activate it?
-I didn't even feel a thing when I smashed things with the arm. Felt wrong, like someone else was doing it for me.
-I swear I saw the text on the heart change while my arm was stuck, but I couldn't record what it was before it changed back.
