Project Personnel Info

Assigned Facility: Multi-Site Operation

Director of Research: Dr. Abram Jamie Dr. Joseph Turk

Assigned MST(s): N/A.

Director of Containment: Dr. Maria June

Registered Phenomena Code: 372

Object Class: Omega-Red

Hazard Types: Explosive Hazard, Ideological Hazard

Containment Protocols: All reports of RPC-372 instances are to be covered up as arson/homicides. Class A-1 amnestics are to be administered to civilians who witness the RPC-372 phenomenon. Media recordings of the RPC-372 phenomenon are to be removed by online Authority assets. RPC-372-1 instances are to be held within a standard beta-class humanoid containment chamber for further observation.

Due to the nature of the anomaly, the Theistic Department has been tasked with studying the phenomenon.

[+] Updated Containment Protocols

Updated Containment Protocols: RPC-372-A are contained within a soundproof humanoid containment chamber in Site-187’s Humanoid Containment Wing. All RPC-372-1 held within Site-187 have been reclassified as RPC-372-A instances (See Addendum 372-B & Incident 372-A for further information).

Description: RPC-372 is a phenomenon affecting priests, rabbis, and imams with knowledge of an unidentifiable esoteric ritual that connects subjects with an unknown entity or location. Attempts by the Theistic Department and the Department of Occult Concerns to recreate the ritual have resulted in failure due to the ritual site experiencing heavy alteration by an unknown party or entity. Evidence of the phenomenon has been documented since the 15th century by the Auctoritas Imperata.

Subjects affected by RPC-372 (designated RPC-372-1) will have their eyes spontaneously combust causing fourth-degree burns. Authority forensics hypothesize the combustion begins at the cornea and expands throughout the eye. 70% of all RPC-372-1 instances do not survive their injuries due to extreme shock. Surviving RPC-372-1 instances suffer from psychosis and severe dysphasia¹. MRI scans of RPC-372-1 show that these effects are due to severe inflammation within the prefrontal and temporal lobes.

The ritual and/or entity that causes the RPC-372 phenomenon are unknown. Initially, the Theistic Department hypothesized that the phenomenon was caused by an unknown demonic phenomenon/entity. However, no signs of a demonic presence² have been found at the scenes where RPC-372 have occurred. Theistic Department personnel equipped with Almagro-Variant Groves counters who investigated the scenes of RPC-372 occurrences found that the ambient Groves³ in these locations had risen by 10 Vi. Additionally gold, silver, and iron dust has been found at the scenes of the RPC-372 occurrences.

Discovery: RPC-372 was first documented during the 15th century by the Auctoritas Imperata scholar, Beorhtric Eastone. Eastone was tasked with the investigation of the deaths of a coven of supposed “witches” in Torun, Poland. Eastone is believed to have found the source of RPC-372, but his works were deemed heretical by the early Auctoritas and his findings were burned. This information is currently known to the Authority due to the writings of Herman T. Wertz, a member of a council of Auctoritas members tasked with determining the fate of Eastone.

In 1840, Authority MSTs raided an Islamic cult in Afghanistan known as the Viewers of God (د خدای لیدل). The raid was conducted upon the cult’s compound, known to the Viewers as “The Ascension.” Seven of the thirteen cultists were found dead, with autopsies showing severe shock as the cause of death. The surviving cultists were found speaking incoherently in Pashto (پښتو). Investigative personnel found the remains of a thaumaturgic ritual at the center of the compound, with silver and gold residue layering the interior of the compound.

In 1977, the phenomenon was given an RPC designation after the death of Authority researcher Daniel Martin. His body was found deceased within his home. Journals owned by the young researcher revealed that he attempted to conduct an unknown ritual while in a state of lucid dreaming in an attempt to reach the afterlife. Regretfully, Researcher Martin did not detail the steps on how the ritual was conducted.

Addendum 372-A: On 03/01/2012, an RPC-372 occurrence occurred in the town of Lockberry, Louisiana, USA. The following is a transcript of a recorded conversation between Adriana Smith (Designated Mrs. Smith) and a Lockberry Emergency Service Dispatcher Jason Lee (Designated Dispatcher).

Participants:

• Dispatcher
• Mrs. Smith

---

Foreword:

On 01/04/2012, Mrs. Smith had made several calls to the Lockberry Emergency Services to report a disturbance within the Saint Mary Mother of Christ Church. She reported screams originating from the church belonging to the owner of the church, Henry Davis.

<Begin Recording - Police Recording Device>

Dispatcher: Alright Mrs. Smith, could you please state your claim for the record?

Mrs. Smith: I’m outside the Saint Mary Mother of a Christ Church on Fourth Street and Danley Avenue. I heard screaming coming from inside the church.

Dispatcher: Alright, are you okay ma’am?

Mrs. Smith: Yes. Yes. You have to hurry. I think the pastor might be hurt.

Dispatcher: We’ll have a patrol car on the way ma’am, can you stay on the line ma’am?

[Line is silent for 15 seconds]

Dispatcher: Ma’am? Are you there?

Mrs. Smith: Ye- yes. I’m here.

Dispatcher: Are you in a safe location?

Mrs. Smith: I’m- I’m in the church.

Dispatcher: Ma’am get out of there and wait for the patrol car to get there. They’ll be there in four minutes ma’am.

Mrs. Smith: It smells like metal in here… wait.

Dispatcher: Ma’am. Please exit the building.

Mrs. Smith: Something is burning. I think the smell is coming from the commons.

Dispatcher: Alright ma’am I’ll contact the fire department. Please exit the building.

[10 seconds pass. Then heavy breathing can be heard.]

Dispatcher: Ma-

[Mrs. Smith begins to scream.]

Dispatcher: Ma’am! Ma’am! Are you there?

Mrs. Smith: It’s the pastor! It’s the pastor!

Dispatcher: Ma’am speak to me. What’s going on? Are you okay?

[Loud crackling can be heard.]

Mrs. Smith: Get an ambulance! His head is on fire! Oh my-

Dispatcher: Got it. Ma’am stay on the line.

Mrs. Smith: Oh my god! Oh my god! His eyes, oh god! Please hurry!

[Sobbing and croaking can be heard in the background]

Dispatcher: Ma’am, we have an ambulance on the way. You said his head was on fire?

Mrs. Smith: His eyes are gone! There’s so much- Oh God!

Dispatcher: Ma’am the patrol car is outside. Is there anything you can use to extinguish the fire?

[Silence for 10 seconds.]

Dispatcher: Ma’am?

When the patrol car arrived at the scene, the officers entered the church and rushed into the commons area where they found the body of Mr. Adam Davis sprawled on the floor with his head still burning. Officers put out the fire and found Mrs. Smith unresponsive in a corner of the room, apparently suffering from shock.

Authority agents arrived on the scene twenty minutes after the patrol officers had arrived. The Authority was alerted to the scene by an Authority modified ANDSoft program designed to locate suspected RPC-372 occurrences. The investigating agents found the remains of a thaumaturgic seal on the floor of the commons with the body of Mr. Davis at its center. The thaumaturgic seal was composed of a geometric circle with a diameter of 3 meters. The remains of the circle was composed of a dust made from Ag-47. Curiously, the rest of the church, with the exception of the commons, was coated with a 1 nm layer of Au-197 dust.

The agents, armed with Groves Counters, were able to detect that the ambient Groves in the area had risen by 20 Vi. The agents contacted local Authority assets to quarantine the Church.

Interviewing Mrs. Smith, Authority agents discovered that Mrs. Smith was in an intimate relationship with Mr. Davis. She claimed that Mr. Davis had interest in the occult and collected various relics of Abrahamic or middle eastern origins in his church. She admitted that the reason she was at the scene to assist Mr. Davis in conducting some form of ritual. When Authority agents questioned Mrs. Smith if Mr. Davis was deceased when she arrived, she admitted that Mr. Davis passed away shortly after the arrival of the local police. Additionally, she added that Mr. Davis screamed the word “holy” repeatedly.

A cover story was administered to the town of a fire caused by a gas leak within the church. All involved within the RPC-372 occurrence were administered Class A-1 Amnestics.

Addendum 372-B: On 06/11/2016, Authority agents alongside MST Charlie-2 (“Fire Fighters”) responded to a church fire near Aakkar, Lebanon. Charlie-2 operatives were able to put out the fire as Authority agents entered the building. Authority agents found three RPC-372-1 instances standing together with blindfolds covering their eye sockets. Unusually, the RPC-372-1 instances were coherent and turned to the Authority agents in unison. The RPC-372-1 instances spoke together and asked the Authority agents to take them. Authority agents bagged the RPC-372-1 instances and transported them to Site-187.

Due to the unusual properties of the RPC-372-1 instances, as well as the lack of dysphasia in the instances, the trio have been designated RPC-372-A. The trio were identified as Thomson Hamil (RPC-372-A-1), Jedediah Lehrer (RPC-372-A-2), and Ulfah Hadi (RPC-372-A-3).

On 06/21/2016, an interview was conducted between Dr. Jamie and the RPC-372-A instances within Site-187’s interrogation room 017.

<Begin Recording - Authority Recording Device>

[Dr. Jamie enters the room.]

Dr. Jamie: Good evening RPC-372-A.

[RPC-372-A turn to Dr. Jamie in unison.]

RPC-372-A: Hello to you.

[Dr. Jamie sits down across from RPC-372-A.]

Dr. Jamie: Please, call me Jamie.

RPC-372-A: How cordial. Do you have any questions for me, my child?

Dr. Jamie: Why do you three refer to yourselves as a singular being?

RPC-372-A: It is what we are. It is a result of what we have brought upon ourselves.

Dr. Jamie: Are you aware of why you are here?

[RPC-372-A shake their heads in unison.]

Dr. Jamie: Across the globe we have discovered the remains of rituals which have resulted in the subjects conducting similar said rituals losing their eyes due to an anomalous combustion. This has resulted in many dead, and many others in critical states. We designate these subjects RPC-372-1.

[RPC-372-A nod.]

Dr. Jamie: RPC-372-1 instances suffer from madness and have lost the ability to speak coherently. All except for you, hence why we’ve designated you RPC-372-A. Do you think you can tell us why that is?

RPC-372-A: Then listen well Jamie. There is a connection between me and all the other so-called RPC-372-1 instances. It is that we are all fools. Let me explain to you what happened to me. The story of Thomson, Jedediah, and Ulfah.

RPC-372-A: I- they met together in Lebanon to conduct a ritual to gain access into Heaven.

Dr. Jamie: You- you saw heaven?

[RPC-372-A laughs.]

RPC-372-A: You can say we “saw” Heaven. You could also say we were in “Heaven.”

Dr. Jamie: How- how did you accomplish this.

RPC-372-A: Thomson, Jedediah, and Ulfah found a way. They found the sacred symbols and used the holy metals to form a connection. Then the day of action came and the men fell asleep within a circle made of gold and silver.

RPC-372-A: Their souls rose past the In-Between. The men's souls were assaulted by angels and entities unknown, but they were strong. They knew the words of their Lord. It protected them. The feeling of acceleration flowed through them as they hurled themselves into a throne room. That is where they were halted by a great force.

Dr. Jamie: Throne room? Great force?

RPC-372-A: Listen. For as strong these men were and no matter how many verses of protection they spoke. They were stopped. Forced to kneel and bow.

Dr. Jamie: What happened?

[RPC-372-A pauses for 10 seconds]

RPC-372-A: They heard a voice. A great, but kind voice. A voice so filled with love for humanity it made the traveling men cry.

Dr. Jamie: What did the voice say?

RPC-372-A: It said, “Do Not Look.”

RPC-372-A: They disobeyed. Together they looked up. There they saw the king of kings. God… God himself stood before them.

Dr. Jamie: You saw God? Is God the cause of RPC-372?

RPC-372-A: God is directly the cause of many things, my child, but this is not something he caused. It is a byproduct if you will.

RPC-372-A: Humans are imperfect beings. Those men were imperfect men, regardless of their faith and love for God. They saw perfection in all forms.

[RPC-372-A begins to weep in unison.]

RPC-372-A: Are you religious, Jamie?

Dr. Jamie: Yes, actually. I’m Catholic.

[RPC-372-A chuckles.]

RPC-372-A: So was Thomson.

RPC-372-A: Exodus 33:20, “But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.” We saw the face of God and we suffered the consequences.

RPC-372-A: At the moments the men’s souls looked upon God, a flash of burning light blinded them as their souls fell to Earth. In order to save themselves the men joined together and merged their souls and their minds. They became I.

Dr. Jamie: And the others? What about the RPC-372-1 instances?

RPC-372-A: They were foolish like me. Some may have survived through sheer will alone. Others may have made pacts with forces unknown to ensure the survival of their souls. Regardless of how we survived, the outcome is the same.

Dr. Jamie: So all RPC-372-1 instances. They saw God. Why would they do that?

RPC-372-A: Does it matter? Everyone has their own reason to do foolish actions. Mine was to see my God. I got what I wanted.

[Dr. Jamie clutches a rosary around her neck.]

Dr. Jamie: RPC-372-A, can I ask you a favor?

RPC-372-A: What is it?

Dr. Jamie: Can you describe God to me?

[At this point, personnel monitoring use the speaker system within the interrogation room. Dr. Samuels responds.]

Dr. Samuels: Jamie, that's enough. Exit the room.

RPC-372-A: Are you sure?

Dr. Jamie: Yes.

Dr. Samuels: Jamie. You’re breaking protocol. Exit the room.

[At this point Security is informed of the situation and makes their way toward Interrogation Room 017.]

RPC-372-A: God- [COGNITOHAZARD EXPUNGED]

[Dr. Jamie and all listening personnel’s ears combust into flame as all affected personnel begin to spasm on the floor.]

[Security personnel arrive to Interrogation Room to apprehend all RPC-372-A instances.]

<End Recording>

---

Dr. Jamie, Dr. Samuels, and all personnel listening to the interview of RPC-372-A were exposed to an anomalous cognitohazard resulting in an internal combustion within their ears. All listening personnel were found deceased by security personnel. RPC-372-A were transported to a sound proof humanoid containment chamber. Containment procedures are being updated to accustom RPC-372-A and its unique properties.

Incident 372-A: During the transportation of RPC-372-A to their containment chamber, the five RPC-372-1 instances contained within Site-187 began to speak and act in unison. Altogether the RPC-372-1 instances got on their knees and stated:

Forgive me. I did not mean to cause their death. Forgive me Father, I am a fool. I am sinful.

All RPC-372-1 instances within Site-187 have been reclassified to RPC-372-A instances.

1. A language disorder marked by deficiency in the generation of speech, and sometimes also in its comprehension, due to brain disease or damage.

2. According to the report “Signs of Demonics” by Dr. Adam Joseph, sulphur residue is often found in many cases of demonic possessions/hauntings.

3. Groves Radiation, commonly measured in Viottos (Vi),3 is the name given to a form of radiation generated by both the interaction between different planes of reality and the performance of what can be understood as “magic rituals.” Due to its unique nature, Groves Radiation is not well understood and will likely never be completely analyzed with current technology.
