It's an Auctoritas document! Woohoo! Thanks to Fifth and Kaiser (I forget which one) for the crit on this one.
LETS DO THE TIME WARP AGAAAAIN!
Nah but really its pretty good, I like the concept of observing time loops and such, the only slight personal problem I have with this is that it seems very "tale-like" yknow? Like I feel like it reads more like a tale than an article. But still a very good concept that was well executed.
Description: RPC-427 is a Type-31 Out-of-Place Artifact (OPA) dating to approximately 1640 CE. RPC-XXX is the result of LO-011 passing through a temporal predestination paradox.
Replace the RPC-XXX with RPC-427
EDIT: Sorry, meant to make a new post, not a reply.
The writing is neat but this would work better as a tale than an article. The RPC itself is literally just a mobile phone, the actual meat of the article is how the Auctoritas reacted to it.
No-vote.
The title "Sovereign of the Vatican City State" didn't exist in the 15th century. The current Vatican City State was only founded in the 20th century. The text should say "Sovereign of the Papal States" or "Sovereign of the States of the Church".
4/5 overall. this is what articles should be.
less ending the world, less monster manual for homebrew OC, and more straight weird.
3/5 premise. honestly, not that original or interesting. solid, though.
5/5 delivery. the flavor bits are entertaining and interesting and lead to the payoff.
5/5 grammar. clinical and dogmatic done well in the same article.
5/5 lore. the article suggests canon, but doesn't demand it. it also crosslinks articles, but doesn't require the reader to move on to them.
I would 5/5 but the article itself hates on LAOs by acknowledging they exist. Going outside the boundary of the article here but the gist of it is X-Files was best when it was just a weird thing, a jaded conspiracy theorist, and a non-believer. Anomalies are best when they are a thing in a box. Every LAO deserves a research, protection, and/or containment procedure.
