Registered Phenomena Code: 139
Object Class: Alpha-Orange [BLACK-LEVEL RECLASSIFICATION PENDING]
Hazard Types: Extra-Dimensional Hazard, Immeasurable Hazard, Corrosive Hazard
Containment Protocols: The area around RPC-139 is to be patrolled daily by Authority ships disguised as part of the Royal Australian Navy. RPC-139 has been hidden from the public under the guise of a sealife reservation. The border of RPC-139 has been marked with red buoys to signal this. Ships of any kind are not allowed to be inside RPC-139 from 12:00 am to 1:00 am ACST (USC+9:30). Entrance to RPC-139-1 is currently prohibited.
Description: RPC-139 is a circular area located in the Great Australian Bight approximately 7 km in diameter. When a ship enters RPC-139 from 12:00 to 1:00 AM ACST, they are teleported to a “pocket dimension” designated RPC-139-1. There is no known way to exit RPC-139-1. RPC-139-1 consists of an ocean of yet indeterminate size containing different iterations of the islands of Australia. These iterations are designated AUS-XXX; Currently, only 13 iterations have been explored.
Discovery: RPC-139 was discovered after reports of ships “mysteriously” disappearing near the Great Australian Bight (notably the SS Silence). Authority ships arrived at 12:38 am ACST and were subsequently transported into RPC-139-1. When the vessels disappeared from Authority radar a full investigation was started.
Authority Ship █████ (designated Vessel 139-1) was sent to perform a full investigation of the anomaly.
AUS-001
Direction Departed From: West
Description: All terrain comprising AUS-001 above sea level was flat and composed of stone. Full exploration proved impossible due to a large stone barrier approximately 1 kilometer from the coast. Crewmembers reported feeling “as if they were being watched” during exploration.
AUS-002
Direction Departed From: North
Description: AUS-002's terrain consisted of a coagulated mass of Glycera worms. Crew was ordered to deploy at the coast of AUS-002 with fishing equipment. The Glycera of AUS-002 could only move slightly due to restricted movement. Exploration was canceled after MST Alpha-2 Unit 6 had reported the surface of AUS-002 “similar to quicksand". Unit 6 received minor injuries from Glycera bites. Bite marks were found to be irregularly shaped, though most of the bites vaguely resembled a human eye.
AUS-003
Direction Departed From: North-West
Description: All trees inside AUS-003 were found to be cherry blossoms. Cherries were found to be non-anomalous and edible. Crew stored cherries for food rations. Crew Members reported sleep deprivation from nightmares related to eyes.
AUS-004
Direction Departed From: West
Description: AUS-004 featured a distinct lack of flora and fauna. AUS-004 contained towns matching those in base Australia. All buildings were found to have severe structural damage. Inland expeditions revealed large craters; Investigation of these craters showed trace amounts of strontium-90 and cesium-137. All signs in AUS-004 displayed an illustration of a skull and an arrow pointing north regardless of positioning. Soil samples from AUS-004 were found to match that of the base Australia.
AUS-005
Direction Departed From: North-East
Description: AUS-005 lacked fauna and all flora found was naturally native to Siberia.
AUS-006
Direction Departed From: North-West
Description:AUS-006's surface was similar to that of the Moon. Crewmembers reported a “faint red light” emanating from the sea while camping on the coast.
AUS-007
Direction Departed From: North-East
Description: AUS-007 featured various uninhabited towns with architecture similar to ancient Hindu temples. Various scripts written in Hindu were found but translators found them unintelligible.
AUS-008
Direction Departed From: East
Description: AUS-008's surface was covered in coral similar to those found in the Great Barrier Reef. Coral in AUS-008 possessed air-breathing capabilities and heightened aggression. This caused injury to 2 crew members by tripping them.
AUS-009
Direction Departed From: North-East
Description: AUS-009's surface was comprised of dried clay. Loudspeaker poles were placed at irregular intervals over AUS-009’s surface. When crewmembers approached the broadcasting poles, they were activated by unknown means and began repeating the phrase “Return to where you came from”. Crewmembers were allowed to disassemble certain poles to minimize noise while resting near AUS-009.
AUS-010
Direction Departed From: North
Description: AUS-010 had a meteorological anomaly causing it to constantly snow. AUS-010 consisted of rock found identical in composition to those of Australian mountains. Capra aegagrus hircus horns of various sizes were found protruding from the rocks. Crew Members reported a civilian cargo ship coming from the north-west, heading south. Said ship ignored calls made by crewmembers and was considered abandoned.
AUS-011
Direction Departed From: North-West
Description: AUS-011's surface consisted of an unidentified leather. The leather was found to be extremely hard to damage. AUS-011’s fauna and flora were imitations formed from the same leather. Due to the leather’s hardness and the fauna’s aggression, a full exploration was deemed too difficult.
AUS-012
Direction Departed From: North
Description: AUS-012's ground was composed of bathroom tiles, vegetation was replaced by pipes and showerheads. The northern coast of AUS-012 was found to be shattered, with a majority of the debris scattered north.
AUS-013
Direction Departed From: North
Description: AUS-013's southern coast consisted of equipment matching WW1 war equipment, including barbed wire, rifles, helmets, etc. A majority of AUS-013 was corroded by an unidentified black substance. The northern horizon of AUS-013 was red in coloration, with black clouds. Crewmembers reported the horizon illuminating the ship with a "black light". Crewmembers reported the light was coming from a "large eye" suspended in the sky. This illumination corroded the exterior of the vessel by unknown means. Due to this Vessel 139-1 was ordered to turn back to avoid damage.
Addendum 139-1: When returning to RPC-139, Vessel 139-1 encountered the SS Silence. The ship was leaking a black substance and displayed signs of severe corrosive damage. A red light was reportedly emanating from underneath the ship. Crew on board reported hearing a “metallic scraping sound”. After firing upon the SS Silence the ship rammed into Vessel 139-1 taking out essential communication equipment. Rescue Mission for Vessel 139-1 is currently waiting for approval Rescue Mission for Vessel 139-1 has been approved. Vessel 139-2 is currently missing.
The following is the audio log of Operation "Noise":

<End Log>
Addendum 139-2: On the date ██/██/2016, the audio feed of Vessel 139-2 had regained contact for ██ hours. Audio from Vessel-139-2 consisted of waves, metallic grinding, and an unknown entity talking. Due to the threats made by the entity, it has been proposed by various researchers to update RPC-139 to Gamma. Said proposal is currently awaiting approval.
The file below contains a recording of the audio feed:
Audio Log 139-2
Date: 3.00 PM - ██.██ ██
<Begin Log>
Unknown Entity: You people are… clumsy aren't you? Despite the warnings curiosity annihilated you.
[The Entity pauses]
Unknown Entity: Those islands? They are trophies. Trophies that warned you to stay back. Every dimension I've conquered had the same, petty mistake of entering here. Your mistakes didn't matter though, it was just a matter of time.
[A loud metallic noise is heard]
Unknown Entity: Do you know the suffering I will bring upon you once I leave my realm? Pray, I reach a dimension that knows of my tricks, for yours hasn't.
Unknown Entity: Prepare.
[The Entity continues to repeat the last sentence for ██ hours until suddenly stopping]
