I dig the fires and explosions, and I really appreciate the fact that they didn't use amnestics in the cover up. Just three minor problems:

1. I think the experiment log is supposed to be in a box.
2. I don't understand this part: "13:08:51: Subject requests medical aid. Request denied." They were already providing a lot of medical aid, so what exactly did he request?
3. I think "Subject has expired." should be "Subject expires." And it could use an autopsy or something to wrap it up.

Aside from that, it's a fair RPC.

I suggest changing
• Part 1:
to
• Stage 1:

by that, I mean replacing the instances of "Part" when describing the symptoms as "Stage"
Besides that, great work.

RPC-198 is to be stored within a 4x6 Ziploc bag

I require units

In the containment protocols since they are to check for moisture this could be simply solved by storing silica gel packets with the object in the same container, it's what is done with regular pills.

Aside from that, good article.

This is a very well written anomaly and I like it!!

Why isn’t there a test to check what happens when they are given more pills

This article has redefined "the bare minimum" to me. It's wholly built from one pun: "burn pills that burn you". Now, that could be funny were the article more tongue-in-cheek or amusing, but instead this is all it has. The containment protocols are typical Alpha fare, the anomaly's vessel is laughably generic, and the effects are uninteresting.

Said effects are then repeated twice in the article, filling a significant portion of the reading time and making it feel unfocused. There are a few other details besides these, but none of them lead anywhere. Why does it matter that they're addictive if just one is enough to kill a person in 16 hours? Why should I care about RPC-198-1 if its actual nature is redacted and never hinted at?

The discovery segment is also pointless, with every lead being completely snuffed out (by the article's own admission). Overall, this article lacks any creativity and fails to excite the imagination or even create a sense of importance to itself. I mean, it's just a box of 19 pills, and that number will only decrease over time. They may as well just incinerate them, ho ho ho.

I haven't talked about it yet, but the grammar and tone are also quite weak. For the most part, though, the article doesn't have an issue due to any mistakes; it just doesn't make any good step to begin with. 1/5

Some gross effects, but that's the only good I can say about this article. Everything else is meh/bad. I think its funny and ironic that burn pills are stored at Site-008, the largest medical site. Still needs a major rewrite. 1 star.
