Object Class: Gamma-White
Hazards: Sapient Hazard, Sentient Hazard, Immeasurable Hazard, Teleportation Hazard
Containment Protocols: Current containment protocols for RPC-XXXX are unreliable as the subject's anomalous properties have thwarted all authority efforts to secure. However, a standard Containment Cell has been reserved at Site-20 in the event that authority research develops a reliable containment method suitable for RPC-XXXX. Despite the subject's inability to be contained, he can be safely studied in Site-20's cafeteria wing where he seems to have taken up residence. RPC-XXXX is to be afforded several luxuries of which he has requested, and which have been approved by the site administrator, in order to entice the subject to remain in authority territory. A separate list of notable, anomalous trinkets the subject has produced, and their containment procedures are listed in addendum 1-A.
Description: RPC-XXXX is auburn-haired, Caucasian male about 1.6 meters in height with the attire of a upper-middle class merchant common with those in late 15th century. The subject is clothed in a brown robe of fine silk, and what appears to be mink fur interlaced with red threading all of which appear to be completely average in nature. The subject is capable of vanishing at will and appearing elsewhere almost instantaneously; although the nature of how he does this is not yet understood as the subject refuses to comment on his “oddity”.
The subject also appears to carry a fairly large, black leather pack which the subject says contains “wares” that he wishes to sell. The backpack's anomalous properties, if any at all, are unknown as RPC-XXXX absolutely refuses to allow site personnel to handle it in any way. Any attempt to apprehend the subject or the subject's bag has resulted in the subject effectively vanishing only to reappear several meters away to angrily scold the individual attempting to seize him or his belongings.
RPC-XXXX's disposition is entirely docile, and the subject seems delighted to be in the company of others. All interactions with RPC-XXXX have been positive so far, yet staff are only permitted to engage with the subject if RPC-XXXX initiates the conversation. Often times the subject will attempt to sell or barter with site personnel for one of his “wares” all of which display highly anomalous properties. If any on-site personnel are propositioned they are to immediately notify the Anomalous Recovery Unit and Dr. XXXX XXXXXXX. All purchased wares are to be handled with extreme caution until their properties are uncovered. So far the nature of these items appear to be entirely beneficial or benign in nature. RPC-XXXX often becomes annoyed when his wares are regarded as potential hazards exclaiming that he would never sell any harmful trinkets to his customers and that the prospect of such would be “bad for business”.
The subject spends most of his time conversing with staff, tidying up the makeshift stand he has constructed with authority-approved materials, and attempting to sell anomalous trinkets to anyone he finds particularly interesting. The trinkets themselves appear as a variety of everyday items ranging from scissors and maps to bottles of perfume and topical balms. It is important to note that the properties of these items only manifest when in contact with the individual to whom the item was sold to. All attempts to utilize these anomalous items, apart from the original purchaser, has resulted in the object’s anomalous properties effectively becoming dormant. When closer testing was done to these dormant items it was found that they were composed of ordinary materials with no observable indications of extraterrestrial, extradimensional, or paranormal origins.
Discovery: At approximately 23:57 on 12/20/2017 a manual Containment Breach Alarm was activated in Site-XX's cafeteria wing. MTF-60 code-named "Union Riders" was immediately dispatched along with separate detachment of [REDACTED] armed with [REDACTED]. Upon entering the cafeteria the unit was met with the scene of dozens of panicking site personnel, most of whom fled directly towards the task force. Unfortunately, 17 individuals were terminated in the ensuing chaos as MTF-60 assumed they were being assaulted by an instance of the supposed RPC. The true nature of the panic was quickly uncovered and the task force quickly surrounded RPC-XXXX after which the [REDACTED] attempted to apprehend the subject using a modified [REDACTED]. Several failed containment attempts later, the subject began to initiate the first conversation with MTF Commander Patrick Geves and attempts to contain were halted after the team deemed further attempts to detain to be redundant and a waste of resources. Over the course of the next several hours, the wounded and deceased were properly attended to. Dr. Malia Qadir, to her reluctance, was called in to document the RPC. The subject obliged and, although no useful information regarding the subject's origins or properties were discovered, Dr. Malia concluded that RPC-XXXX presented no immediate threat to authority property or site personnel. A deal was then struck with the subject where RPC-XXXX would remain on site and in authority control if it were provided with materials to construct a shop. It was also at that moment that uncovered the first instances of the subject's trinkets and their subsequent properties.
Addendum 1-A: Notable Anomalous Trinkets
Anomaly Designation | Anomaly Description | Recovery Circumstances | Containment Procedures |
RCP-XXXX-4 | A bottle of perfume housed in a blank, glass container attached to a tan atomizer. The scent of said perfume is extremely pleasant and never fades unless desired by the user. | Item was sold to Dr. Sadir in exchange for thirteen (13) U.S. standard pennies | The object is to be kept in a standard authority lock-box in site-17's light-containment storage. Item is the be guarded by no less than one (1) security personnel at all times as is standard. |
RCP-XXXX-6 | A pair of lime green, child-safe scissors. The scissors possess the ability to autonomously cut any paper or paper-like material to users preferences. | Item was given to a Researcher in exchange for a one (1) ounce of sterling silver. | The object currently resides in Dr. Malia Qadir's office after extensive research of the scissors and their properties proved to pose no threat to the authority or it's personnel. |
RCP-XXXX-7 | A golden, elliptical locket attached to a bronze necklace. Wearing the locket helps conjure lost memories of people, places, events, etc. | RPC-XXXX sold the object to a janitorial staff in exchange for one (1) standard horsehair broom. | The object is to be given formal ownership to Research Director of Site-17 and housed in a DNA-encoded lock-box in Site-17's light-containment storage. Under no circumstances are any individual affected with amnestics or any individual dealing in research of RCP's with cognitive hazards allowed to interact with RCP-XXXX-7. |
RCP-XXXX-9 | A set of seven (7) whale-bone dice similar in design to their modern day counterpart. Owners in contact with the objects experience, what can only be described as, increased lucky by an estimated probability of 900.76%. | Subject traded the set of die for [REDACTED]. | Important Notice: As of 1/1/2018 RPC-XXXX-9 is missing after extensive testing with CSD-1232. The test subject who, is presumed to still have ownership of the anomaly, escaped after the faulty wiring of a testing chamber door allowed for his escape. Unsurprisingly, three (3) facility guards' weaponry seemed to malfunction when attempting to terminate CSD-1232 with a fourth guard's weapon managing a grazing shot on the CSD's left forearm. CSD-1232 is still at large and presumed dangerous. Until RCP-XXXX-9 is successfully contained, a heavy containment lock-box is reserved in Site-22. |
