Containment Protocols

RPC-063 is to be secured in a Class III containment unit with an interlocking system. Material specifications are to be featured with ruthenium material combined with aluminum foil to counter any ruptures caused by its extradimensional properties.

Photographs and digital footages are to not be taken under any circumstances. Any forms of media that resemble RPC-063 are to be confiscated and destroyed immediately. The only photographic image of RPC-063 is to be kept within a sealed folder, accessible only by personnel above Level 3.

Due to its passive behavior and personality, RPC-063 is to be interviewed on a bi-weekly basis to maintain a social and psychological connection. Personnel requesting to administer interviews must be preapproved in advance by a Level 4 staff from the Anthropology Department.

However, it is to be noted that any requests may be rejected for any reason by Lead Researcher Dr. Harri Victor.

During these interview sessions, personnel with religious affiliations, specifically Catholicism, are to be barred from conducting interviews, including in the proximity of RPC-063's containment unit.

Any unusual behavior is to be reported to Dr. Victor or a staff member from the Anthropology Department. If behavior has been determined to be life-threatening, Protocol Amber-Red is to be enacted unless specified otherwise by Site Management.

Protocol Update: Due to an incident on 06/1998, containment protocol has been updated. See the attachment below for further details.

Description

RPC-063
(Non-Hazardous Photograph via RPC-268)

RPC-063 is a Class IV extradimensional humanoid entity that appeared to initially manifest during the Protestant Reformation. Measuring approximately 1.43m in height, the subject does not display any form of imitation of clothing or physical structure, which can be attributed to its darkened epidermis.

Due to its unusual skin nature, the subject becomes almost indistinct from its facial and physical form, only apparent by its darkened epidermis and body outline.

The only identifiable features are the subject's distinct radiance of its white pupils and translucent hands and arms, specifically the ulna and radius. Whether the luminosity is caused by external light exposure is currently unknown.

Strangely, light does not appear to be absorbed or deflected when any illumination is directed at RPC-063's skin pigmentation. This results in light passing through its entire anatomy, with light appearing visible through its skin.

RPC-063-1 instances are individuals that were affected by RPC-063. When RPC-063-1 is within the presence of RPC-063, RPC-063 will manifest and influence RPC-063-1 to enter Stage 5 REM sleep.²

Other physical symptoms include:

Displaying high blood pressure along with an irregular acceleration of heartbeats.
Blood and oxygen flow rapidly decreases, causing paleness to the skin.
Physical twitching visible around the neck and muscles.

RPC-063-1 will be unaware that they've entered a state of deep sleep and visualize random dreams manifested by their own cerebrum. However, these illusions will begin to shift into RPC-063-1's phobia, displayed by RPC-063, who will materialize at random intervals to RPC-063-1 in various appearances but often in their natural form.

RPC-063-1's phobias will develop to a critical point where they will experience circulatory shock, followed by an immediate cardiac arrest. Within hours, RPC-063-1's body will cease to exist and be substituted by an umbra outline of their body.

Photographic samples were taken on 02/1999 of RPC-063's appearance. However, unknowingly, the photographs were cognitohazardous after four out of the five photographists were found unconscious on the floor after suffering a brain hemorrhage.³

Further testing conducted on viewing RPC-063's appearance through photographic images have resulted in death. However, a photo of RPC-063 was successfully captured on film and developed using RPC-268. This developed film was considered non-hazardous, though additional copies using RPC-268 were discovered to be cognitohazardous.⁴

Following a series of tests, various devices revealed different results, each manifesting different effects. It's unclear if this particular photograph was somehow unaffected by RPC-063 or RPC-268's anomalous effects, but results are currently inconclusive.⁵

It was under the assumption that RPC-063 was incapable of articulating, as evident by RPC-063 illustrating indecipherable messages on the observation glass. On 08/████, it was revealed that RPC-063 was capable of speech.⁶

Description Update: Additional information has been added. See Addendum 063.02

Addendum 063.01. Discovery 01/03/19██

RPC-063-1 instances in the distance from the cemetery.

On January 3, 19██, Head Research Staff Dr. Gabrielle was discovered floating above the ceiling of Site-014's Office Wing. The initial cause of death was inconclusive by medical experts. Security footage captured an unidentified figure, designated as RPC-063, glancing at the camera before the footage abruptly corrupted.

Note: Initial personnel who came into contact with the footage were exposed to its cognitohazardous effects effects and died an hour after inspecting the footage. The footage was briefly confiscated as a result.

Further investigations uncovered that the attendees at the cathedral church located at [REDACTED], Massachusetts, reportedly disappeared on separate occasions by local authorities. Mobile Specialized Team X-Ray-6 ("Annulifers") were deployed to search the premises, however, X-Ray-6 reportedly encountered Vatican operatives during their investigations.

With the suspicion that the Holy See was involved, the Authority contacted the Church for information concerning RPC-063. Communications between the Authority and Holy See lasted for two days until the Holy See agreed to distribute reports dating back to the Protestant Reformation.⁷

Following several days of search, RPC-063 was tracked down at an abandoned cemetery, located not far from the cathedral. A containment team was deployed and managed to contain RPC-063 with no incident.

However, upon the team's arrival, the Anderson Coherency Scale (ACS) was reported to be irregular by the team.

Retrieval Log 063.01 — Audio Transcript

Date: 08/01/████

Foreword: The retrieval team, codenamed Ares, arrived with two other containment teams, Athena and Artemis. Upon arrival, all three groups witnessed unidentified floating humanoids across the cemetery, though no hostilities were presented, and the mission continued.

Note: Footage of the retrieval operation was expunged due to cognitohazard reasons.

[BEGIN LOG]

Ares 0-1: [Radio] Ares 0-1 to Athena and Artemis teams, position your men around the margin and keep an eye on those floating humanoids. My guys will handle the bagging over.

Athena 1-1: Copy.

Artemis 0-1: Roger, Ares 0-1.

Ares 0-4: We clear to proceed, TL?

Ares 0-1: Affirmative, 0-6 take point.

[Ares team enters the cemetery gate, advances through the courtyard as Athena and Artemis teams maintain the cemetery's outer perimeter. Ares team stacks against the church's entrance. Ares 0-3's AECR equipment produces beeps]

Ares 0-3: My readings are going off.

Ares 0-5: What's it reading?

Ares 0-3: ACS levels are shifting numbers. Wait. It's going at [DATA EXPUNGED]. Shit, I think my AECR is malfunctioning.

Ares 0-5: Did you break the damn thing on the way here?

Ares 0-3: No, I didn't. It was perfectly working when we got here.

Ares 0-1: [Radios] Command this is Ares 0-1, Ares 0-3's AECR equipment is detecting a shift in ACS levels. We cannot determine the exact ACS at this time. Please advise.

Command: Is Ares 0-3's AECR malfunctioning, over?

Ares 0-1: [Radios] Cannot be determined, over.

Command: Copy that Ares 0-1. Proceed with the retrieval unless the area becomes compromised for you and your team to handle.

Ares 0-1: [Radios] Understood command, Ares 0-1 out. [Looks at Ares team] Alright, let's do this.

[Ares team continue to stack up on the entrance. Ares 0-3 and 0-5 reached for the door handle and forcefully open it wide. Ares team proceeds to clear the church. Ares team reports the interior to be empty and large with the geometry appearing to be non-euclidean]

Ares 0-6: Am I losing it, or the inside looks a bit larger than the church?

Ares 0-2: Yeah no, I get what you mean.

Ares 0-1: 0-3, status on the AECR?

Ares 0-3: Wait one. [Ares 0-3 examines the ACS levels] Still inconclusive, fuck. It's by the minus range now.

[Ares 0-6 notices something from the far side of the church, nearby the altar. Ares team makes visual contact with RPC-063, who appears to be at a non-aggressive stage. They proceed to advance through the extended interior]

Ares 0-1: [Radios] Command, we've made contact with the target. Proceeding with containment.

Ares 0-4: Movement above!

[Ares team directs their weapons above the ceiling as they notice numerous unidentified figures floating above them]

Ares 0-5: They're floating, what the fuck!

Ares 0-1: [Radios] Command, we've spotted numerous bodies floating by the ceiling. Bodies appear to be not active, continuing to approach the target.

Ares 0-4: I hate churches, always reminds of those horror movies.

Ares 0-5: Well, yeah? We're always in horror movies but with guns.

Ares 0-1 Shut it you two. 0-5 and 0-6, proceed with the bagging.

[Ares 0-3 and 0-6 proceed with containing RPC-063. Ares 0-3's AECR once more bleeps rapidly as 0-5 and 0-6 near RPC-063]

Ares 0-3: [Holds out AECR] I swear to god, this is broken.

Ares 0-1: 0-3, status?

Ares 0-3: [Repeatedly slaps the AECR as the numbers shift continuously. By the third slap, the AECR reads the ACS level to be at 4] Huh? I guess that worked … We're all clear, apparently?

Ares 0-1: You positive, 0-3?

Ares 0-3: Definitely, just needed a few bumps and it's reading the environment normally. ACS is at 4. We're clear.

Ares 0-1: [Calmly exhales] Right. Continue with the procedure.

[Ares 0-1 continues to instruct 0-5 and 0-6 to contain RPC-063]

[END LOG]

Statement: Someone needs to check and inspect the AECR equipment. I get they are an expensive piece of hardware, but Jesus, can someone get them checked out before I die in the future?

Aside from equipment irregularities, containment proceeded with no incident. The anomaly was contained, and the cleanup crew had a hard time getting those floating bodies from the ceiling. The area has been lockdown by the local authorities.

Addendum 063.02. Blackfall Event

Note: This appendix covers the manifested effects that took place on 06/1998, for information pertaining to the incident; See Addendum 063.05.

📎 Access Attachment 063-02.1

- Close File

Due to indeterminable factors that cannot be accurately described or identified, a Blackfall manifestation cannot be predicted at this time.

Blackfall refers to an inexplicable phenomenon manifested by RPC-063. The causes and reasons for the phenomena remain widely debated. Dr. Maria Mayson from the Astronomy Department hypothesized that the event may be correlated to the Earth's orbital inclination and a solar eclipse.

Before the incident on 06/1998, solar eclipses continuously occurred four days in a row; the causation of these eclipses was unexplainable at the time, but during these occurrences the behavior of RPC-063 was reported to have been irregular by security personnel.

The following is an [theorized] outline event of a Blackfall manifestation, based on information and on-site instruments recordings during the time of the incident:

A Study Concerning the Blackfall Manifestation

Written by the Department of Physics

…

Upon the occurrence of a solar eclipse, the Anderson Coherency Scale (ACS) levels will begin to sharply shift from varying degrees of levels, numbers of which would surpass below 1 and above 5. It's to be noted that ACS measurements may be deeply inconsistent and/or unreliable.

RPC-063 will, if possible, attempt to seek out an enclosed area where it will manifest and reconstruct the occupying space's geometry to a non-euclidean state.

Once the occupying space becomes non-euclidean, an unknown wave of energy is released and projected within a two-hundred meter radius, causing any person within the proximity to succumb into a deep state of sleep.

While under this deep state of sleep, persons will begin to gravitate as an unknown phenomenon of black haze develops around their ankle joint, attached to the ground. It's speculated that this phenomenon prevents those affected from drifting away from their current position.

Due to the intense fluctuations in the area's geometry and shift in non-euclidean form, the affected area will start to experience a fracture in our reality, causing numerous distortions and decay in the area. It's theorized that when this occurs, our reality may be exposed and opened as a Bridgeway to other realities, temporarily.

Samples taken from the incident were examined by the Nuclear Physics Department. They've concluded to not be nuclear material or emit any hazardous radiation. However, large quantities of unidentified particles were detected but not precisely enough to cause irreparable personnel harm.

While the particles were mostly present in various samples, it is most likely that they may have originated due to the manifestation.

Addendum 063.03. Interview 08/24/████

Following its initial discovery, several interviews were administered by Researcher Fraser. Attempts to extract information, such as its history and other relevant knowledge, were initially unsuccessful.

Previous sessions have demonstrated RPC-063 to be uncooperative, often leaving indecipherable statements on the observation glass. However, on 08/24/████, RPC-063 was observed to verbally communicate with Researcher Fraser.

The following is an interview between Researcher Fraser and RPC-063.

Interview Log 063.01 — Audio Transcript

Interviewer: Researcher Emilia Fraser

Interviewee: RPC-063

Note: The interview has been in session for 16 minutes. RPC-063 has been noted to continuously glance and glare at Researcher Fraser for nearly the session's entirety.

[BEGIN LOG]

Researcher Fraser: [Checks their watch] Almost 16 minutes to the clock. You haven't said anything to me for the past week. [Murmurs] Guess the guys over at containment were right about wasting my time with you.

[RPC-063 tilts its head at Researcher Fraser]

Researcher Fraser: [Sighs] Well, I'm going to end this now-

RPC-063: Human?

[Researcher Fraser is startled, dropping their clipboard on the ground]

Researcher Fraser: [Pauses] Hu-Human? I mean, yes! I am human, RPC-063. You can talk?

RPC-063: 063 is not my name, but must everyone call me the same?

[Researcher Fraser picks up the clipboard from the ground and picks up a pen]

Researcher Fraser: Well, it's your registered number. We give every anomaly we find a number. You're number 063 to us.

RPC-063: A vast number to name me, but what is so absorbing of me?

Researcher Fraser: Absorbing? You speak rhythmically?

RPC-063: [Nods forwardly] Yes. It is how I utter my tongue to you and among!

Researcher Fraser: Interesting. [Clears throat] Well, you're not quite normal around here. Society has changed significantly since the dark ages.

RPC-063: The darkness is always dancing around us, for they consume the light and fear me as the body of night.

Researcher Fraser: Body of night? Are you some sort of supernatural deity, or a God even?-

RPC-063: [Interrupts] It is not my place to affirm your conclusions for they may be all an illusion.

[Researcher Fraser moves the recorder closer to the observation glass]

Researcher Fraser: Why are you talking to me now? What made you hesitate?

RPC-063: I held no faith in your trust when I was summoned before, that is until I sensed honesty and efforts for rapport.

Researcher Fraser: Do you not trust the Authority?

[Interview room lights suddenly flicker rapidly, the observation glass visibly shaking as unidentified whispers became apparent and intensified. RPC-063 is visibly shaken]

RPC-063: Auctoritas?

Researcher Fraser: No, no! There's no Auctoritas here, we're friends!

[Room lights gradually stop flickering as the whispers reverberated and disappeared]

Researcher Fraser: Okay. Let's avoid that question …

[Researcher Fraser re-organizes the table and flips through the clipboard]

Researcher Fraser: Where did you come from, 063?

RPC-063: I was deceived long ago by my primordial heir, where I was sent to a world to face affliction and tear. That is till I saw an estranged hand reaching out to me, comforting and heaving me from the despairing realm. A beacon of reasoning, he proclaimed, that was against the Church's lust and so mustered me to fight, or I become dust.

Researcher Fraser: Who was this person you're referring to?

RPC-063: A protestant man that shook the Pope, aiding a reformation against the Church's strings of rope.

Researcher Fraser: Strings of rope … [Pauses] You were summoned by someone from the Protestant Reformation?

RPC-063: Yes, I'd been feared and turned his ethos to be revered!

Researcher Fraser: Why were you summoned during that time period, and what did he do with you?

[RPC-063 does not respond. The room's light repeatedly flickers once more]

Researcher Fraser: 063, can you please answer my question-

RPC-063: I wish to not speak further, for I must be an observer.

Researcher Fraser: I'm sorry, but what do you mean by that?

[RPC-063 becomes non-responsive after a minute, and Researcher Fraser terminates the interview shortly after.]

[END LOG]

Interviewer's Statement: It's progress, I'd say. We haven't had any information from RPC-063 since it was contained, and here I nearly lost my faith in these sessions until today. I wasn't expecting 063 to speak rhythmically at first.

On a side note, it seems RPC-063 has had a history with our predecessor, the Auctoritas. While I believe we can directly ask questions about its history, I highly recommend not to ask anything related to the Auctoritas since I'm worried about what would happen.

Addendum 063.04. Photography Tests ██/████

📎 Access Attachment 063-04.1

Photographic Testing Log 063.04
Device	Notes
Video Camera	Video will appear to be glitchy or grainy when directed at RPC-063. Prolonged observation with the item will result in the feed to shift into a black screen. Only visible parts of the anomaly's luminescent anatomy and eyes will be visible until approximately one minute: the subject will experience the physical symptoms and effects.
Digital Camera	The camera will stop functioning when a single or multiple shots are captured. Images saved will be deleted through unknown means, and the only set of images available are RPC-063. When viewing these photos, subjects will experience a sense of loss in reality, similar to derealization disorder.
Thermographic Camera	Temperature signatures will vary for different thermal-cameras, though most often, RPC-063 will not appear as heat nor cold signature. Interestingly, subjects viewing through this device will not be affected by RPC-063's anomalous effects.
Polaroid Camera	Results are often inconclusive. The film successfully develops, but the image consists of a blurry resolution with the subject visibly included. More polaroids will develop without the subject's input, including photos of the subject in scenes that they are averse to or have a fear of. When a total of six polaroids are developed, the subject will experience a hallucination of their phobias in real time until they become incapacitated or commit suicide.
RPC-268	Utilization of RPC-268 was authorized for testing by the Anomaly Experimentation Team. Following its initial use, a film was successfully developed and exhibited no hazardous effects on the viewer. However, following repeated tests and the production of new polaroids of RPC-063, any additions appeared to cause hazardous effects. The only produced polaroid that isn't non-hazardous has been stored for archival purposes.

Addendum 063.05. Incident 06/██/1998

On 06/1998, Site-020's internal systems detected ACS levels shifting between [DATA EXPUNGED]. An hour after this irregularity was detected, Site-020's distress beacon was activated, and all communication activities ceased.

Nearby facilities dispatched a quick reaction force to investigate Site-020, composed of Authority Security Forces and Mobile Specialized Team Echo-8 ("Plague Doctors")

The following is a video transcript of an exploration team investigating Site-020, seven hours after the distress beacon was activated.

Exploration Log 063.01 — Audio Transcript

Date: 06/██/1998

Foreword: Echo-8 is inserted through the elevator entrance, descending down to the containment zone. Team consists of five members, designated from Echo 8-1 to 8-5.

[BEGIN LOG]

Echo 8-1: Radio check, team.

[All members radio check their communications as the elevator slowly descends to its floor]

Command: Echo team, this is command.

Echo 8-1: [Radios Command] Send traffic.

Command: Echo team, proceed as planned. Remember, the priority is to investigate what happened. Survivors are a secondary objective, over.

Echo 8-1: Copy that, command. Proceeding with the mission.

[The elevator stops, the doors slowly open, and reveal the hallways in front are flashing red strobes. Echo team proceeds to exit from the elevator, clearing the corridors as they advanced]

Echo 8-4: Corridor is clear, sir. Where the fuck is everyone?

Echo 8-3: I don't know, but it seems the entire facility was placed into a lockdown.

Echo 8-4: If that's the case … How come the elevators weren't sealed off?

Echo 8-3: [Shrugs] Don't look at me. I'm just as clueless as you are.

Echo 8-1: Let's keep moving.

[Echo team continues to sweep the corridors, checking the rooms as they passed by. Echo 8-2 and 8-5 advances to the security room, checking the interior]

Echo 8-2: [Radios Echo 8-1] Echo 8-1, this is 8-2. I need you by the security room that we just passed.

Echo 8-1: Standby, on my way!

[Echo 8-1 walks into the security room. The first thing he sees is two security guards floating by the ceiling, their ankles chained onto the floor by a translucent chain, designated as RPC-063-1]

Echo 8-5: This isn't good, is it?

Echo 8-1: No, it isn't. [Radios Command] Command, this is Echo 8-1. We've encountered what appears to be two security guards floating by the ceiling, ankles chained to the floor by a translucent chain. Possible anomalous manifestation occurred at this time. Please advise.

Command: Echo 8-1, be advised. Anomaly manifestation may have originated over by RPC-063's containment cell. Proceed to that containment area and investigate it.

Echo 8-1: Affirmative, command. Echo team proceeding to RPC-063's containment. [Echo 8-1 glances over at 8-2 and 8-5] Come on, you heard command. Let's move!

[Echo team begins to proceed through RPC-063's containment cell, Echo 8-3 encounters several more RPC-063-1 instances floating above the area. As they closed nearby RPC-063's proximity, the facility's interior appears to be extended to an unknown degree]

Echo 8-3: Place looks bigger than we've thought. Non-Euclidean geometry is my best guess.

Echo 8-1: How close are we to RPC-063's position, 8-4?

Echo 8-4: [Takes out a map and transponder that's connected to the facility's mainframe] It's a bit iffy, but its apparently nearby. Just about over there.

[Echo 8-4 points towards the direction of their right side. The area that Echo 8-4 points to appears to be blocked by an unknown large object, creating an unusual oval sphere around its route]

Echo 8-2: Is it safe to even go near it?

Echo 8-4: My guess? I doubt it.

Echo 8-1: Find us another path. I don't care how long it takes.

[Echo 8-4 continues to view the map, looking for possible reroutes to RPC-063's containment]

Echo 8-2: How about here? It may take us a while since the interior's change in non-euclidean geometry.

Echo 8-1: Doesn't matter, we gotta get this done. 8-2, take the lead. We're right behind you.

[Echo team reroutes its path to RPC-063's containment. Passing through a gate that appears closed halfway, allowing the team to slip through easily. 2-4 minutes passed, the interior's geometry appearing more distorted as they reached RPC-063's containment entrance]

Echo 8-1: [Radios Command] Command, this is 8-1. We've reached by RPC-063's containment cell. Proceeding to containment the anomaly, how copy?

[No response]

Echo 8-3: Radio signals are probably weak over here because of low-levels ACS and shit.

Echo 8-1: Let's get this over with.

[Echo team enters the containment cell. Echo 8-1 to 8-5 secure the insides, noticing a large dark sphere encompassing the center of the room with tangent lines connected around the chamber. Echo 8-2 and 8-5 pushes towards the other side of the room]

Echo 8-1: Be careful, we don't wanna set it off. 8-5 and 4, set up the ACS stabilizer.

[Echo 8-5 and 4 proceed to move towards the room corners, setting up the stabilizer equipment as the rest of Echo team maintain line of sight on RPC-063]

Echo 8-3: Sir, ACS is shifting again—

Echo 8-2: Fuck that, it's not reading it accurately anyway.

[Echo team's radio hisses emits a loud 'ringing' over their communications. Echo 8-2 covers their right ear while the rest of the team attempts to switch off their radios. Echo 8-3 is visibly shaking uncontrollably and gradually begins to drift from the floor]

Echo 8-1: Fuck! 8-3 is down, someone get!—

[The rest of the audio begins to become static, and the noise background becomes louder. Members of Echo team can be heard in the background, though not enough to be decipherable for the transcript. The audio becomes more audible as the audio ends after an explosion is heard.]

[END LOG]

After-Action Report: Members of Echo-8 team came out of the elevator alive, though there was no sign of Echo 8-3 with them when they came up. The Incident was contained, though it was unclear what occurred inside after an 'explosion' was reported within the facility.

Echo 8-1 stated that he can't remember what happened as soon as they descended down. As far as he could tell, it's as if he never came down there. Due to concerns of hazardous effects from the footage, all copies have been confiscated, and an audio transcript verbatim will only be available.

Addendum 063.06. Confidential Vatican Documents

Following the encounter of Vatican agents on 01/03/19██, the Holy See sent out several copies of records, at the request of the Authority, of initial sightings of RPC-063 in the early-mid 16th Century. Agents from the Psychological Initiative Occult (PIO) began monitoring on March 23, 15██.

Prior to observations began, the PIO was investigating alleged atrocities committed within local villages, including those within Catholic churches following sightings of a "dark masse witch."

In these investigations, an unnamed Lutheran extremist was observed during these events. According to the notes written, they supposedly 'possessed the witch under their palm.'

The following is a series of letters obtained from the Lutheran extremist, dated around the 16th Century.
