Registered Phenomena Code: 155
Object Class: Gamma-Orange
Hazard Types: Aquatic Hazard, Sentient Hazard, Contact Hazard, Explosive Hazard, Aggression Hazard, Ecological Hazard, Corrosive Hazard
Containment Protocols: RPC-155-A instances are to be checked for RPC-155 manifestations at all times, using disguised Authority informants, planes and ships. Large urban centers near Lake Erie's zone are to be submitted into mass Class G Amnestics protocols. All waste found inside Lake Erie is to be immediately removed. In the case of RPC-155-A instances roaming free, MST Charlie-2 "Firefighters" is to be deployed into the location and terminate the RPC-155-A instance.
Description: RPC-155 is a phenomenon affecting Lake Erie, located in The Great Lakes. RPC-155 manifests itself when at least ~63% of the water in a concentrated location inside Lake Erie is contaminated with non-organic materials, this zone must also be 2m2 in size or more for RPC-155 to appear. RPC-155 causes waste to spontaneously combust. The fire of RPC-155 creates high amounts of sulfur. Waste caught in the fire of RPC-155 will bubble up and develop a thick layer of detritus, held by the sulfur produced by RPC-155. The collection of waste past this point is hereby named RPC-155-A.
Individual RPC-155-A instances are completely sentient and able to move as a homogeneous mass at its early stages. After approx. 2 minutes, the RPC-155-A instance will develop a humanoid form, this form can vary in length and width. RPC-155-A are capable of locomotion and will try to reach the closest sectors containing living organic material. RPC-155-A are hostile to all living beings. If an RPC-155-A instance incapacitates another locomotive, living being, it will liquidify and consume the subject. The subject will quickly transform to non-organic detritus after entering the RPC-155-A's mass.
RPC-155 was originally contained inside the Cuyahoga River, but due to environmental meddling by unknown conspirators in ██/██/2001, RPC-155 was restored to spread to RPC-155-1. The first strain of RPC-155 after its temporary neutralization occurred after an unnamed cargo ship sunk west of Lake Erie, said cargo ship contained large amounts of organic and non-organic waste. The ship was sunk by an explosion, theorized to be caused by thermite charges on the lower sectors of the ship. The incident caused ██ RPC-155-A entities to manifest in the area, which were contained and neutralized before the RPC-155-A instances could reach land.
REPORT LOG 155-1
Author: Stacy H.D Ganymede
Report: After Operation ████████ was completed, many of our operators found large holes under the ship, some of our specialists researched the photos of them. They concluded these are termite explosions or a result of a flammable material similar to it. Implying that this may have been an intentional attempt to pollute Lake Erie. However, no traces of thermite or other devices used in manual detonation were found near the wreck, though they might had been incorporated into the mass of an RPC-155-A entity. Operatives have also found several containers filled with non-organic material, as well as some waste between the walls of the ship. I find continuing investigations around this unnamed ship a reasonable option.
REPORT LOG 155-2
Author: Stacy H.D Ganymede
Report: Authority Informants patrolling Lake Erie have reported unidentified, masked individuals pushing a large, metal box into the lake. Said metal box was supported by several floatation devices. Due to the extreme weather on the day of the incident, personnel lost contact with the object. Before the individuals could be restrained for interrogation, the car from which the object was taken had been destroyed by a large explosion originating inside the vehicle, killing the suspects. The only evidence left were various semi-scorched documents belonging to Indauchen-40.
REPORT LOG 155-3
Author: Marisa J. Gaspare
Report: The metallic object mentioned in REPORT CASE 155-2 had been found. The contents of the box must have been non-organic waste, as an RPC-155-A entity was found in the box. The box was also penetrated in a similar fashion to the unarmed ship, albeit this one is smaller in size. There aren't any termite charges known to be this small, making the theory of termite charges causing the ship to sink a questionable one.
REPORT LOG 155-4
Author: Marisa J. Gaspare
Report: The shipwreck from Operation ████████, appears to have some sort of anomalous effect around its area. Operators reported that the ground near the shipwreck was moving erratically. There have been reports of dim lights originating in the sand. Operators were not fast enough to approach these anomalies closer, as they disappeared when approached. I think there's something underneath. Proposal to upgrade the shipwreck to its own RPC-155 designation.
REPORT LOG 155-5
Author: Godofredo H. Ravenna
Report: We were able to report an unidentified fishing boat with the help of an aerial scan of RPC-155-1, a large amount of detritus was seen in the back of the boat. An Authority recon motorboat tailed the boat until reaching the central zone of Lake Erie. Motorboat operators found nothing unusual in the boat's design, apart from large bags of waste hanging at its back. The object suddenly sunk, the operators could see it being pushed higher by an unknown force. The boat was quickly overrun by RPC-155-A instances, and more adequate forces were sent to deal with the threat. The wreck of the boat has been left untouched since the science wing is planning to see if it possesses the same effects as the wrecked unarmed ship.
Addendum 155-1: After testing with various wrecks inside Lake Erie, the reports of random movements in the bottom of the lake have been confirmed. Reports of lights under RPC-155-1's sand have been investigated, lights confirmed coming from high-temperature sectors containing termite, ████ and ████████████████. The reason why water around these areas does not boil is unknown.
