Registered Phenomena Code: 396
Object Class: Alpha-Red
Hazard Types: Aggression Hazard, Grouped Hazard, Contact Hazard, Mind-Control Hazard, Sensory Hazard
Containment Protocols: All RPC-396 is to be transferred and contained inside a standard 47-liter gas cylinder. These gas cylinders are to be stored in a standard containment room. The inspection of the cylinders' integrity is to occur twice a month.
Testing of RPC-396 samples must be under personnel with Level 4 clearance Testing should be done in a sealed containment chamber in order to avoid propagating RPC-396's effect, and should only be done in an open area when necessary. Personnel are to exercise caution when releasing high quantities of RPC-396.
During tests with an instance of RPC-396, test subjects are to be escorted into the testing area. RPC-396 is to be pumped into the area for as long as it is needed, then recollected. Following experimentation, subjects are to be temporarily quarantined in an isolation room for examination. Any remaining RPC-396 particles are to be recontained.
Response to any leak is to be maintained by ASF personnel equipped with gas masks and trained in operating the site's industrial vacuum system in order to recollect any traces of RPC-396. In the event of a containment breach, all personnel in the affected area are to don gas masks to avoid inhalation of RPC-396.
Any persons exposed to RPC-396 are to be quarantined in a temporary isolation cell and await further instructions from the lead researcher and be temporarily designated as RPC-396-1. If the effect lasts more than twenty-four hours after inhalation, they are to be designated as RPC-396-2 instances and placed in a humanoid containment cell and await further instruction. Occupied cells are to be equipped with independent air supply and filtration systems.
Description: RPC-396 is the designation given for an anomalous reddish-brown odorless gas of unknown composition. RPC-396 has no flammable properties. Following oxygen exposure encompassing 10 minutes, RPC-396's chemical properties are converted to a carbon dioxide equivalent. Further physical and chemical properties of RPC-396 are unknown.
Effects produced by RPC-396 exposure are immediate post-inhalation. The subject is provided temporary designation of RPC-396-1 until the expiration of symptoms. RPC-396's effects extend only to humans. The immediate effect of RPC-396 inhalation are including the increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, agitation, and dizziness. These effects may last for a few minutes.
Seconds after inhalation, RPC-396-1 will hear a sound of what they describe as “air raid siren” from the distance. The sound level is assumed to be at 50 dB at first. This sound progressively increases, eventually reaching 110 dB after a few hours after the effect took place. Said effects cannot be mitigated with ear protection. Despite the harmful level of sound produced by RPC-396's effect, the hearing capability of RPC-396-1 still in normal condition. This effect remains until RPC-396's effect has worn off.
RPC-396-1 instances will also develop Anablephobia, especially fear of looking at the open sky. When an RPC-396-1 looks at the sky, they stated that they witness multiple aircraft heading towards the ground; these aircraft are designated as RPC-396-Beta. The appearance of RPC-396-Beta is described as either single-engine or twin-engine black-colored aircraft; further detail on the design is unclear. RPC-396-1 stated that they also see a gigantic eye with a glowing yellow iris located above them; this eye is designated as RPC-396-Alpha. RPC-396-1 accounts entail RPC-396-Alpha is responsible for dropping any incoming RPC-396-Beta instances.
Upon witnessing RPC-396-Beta heading down to the ground, RPC-396-1 will try to avoid RPC-396-Alpha’s line of sight by seeking shelter below any object large enough to cover themselves or enter the nearest building. RPC-396-1 will also try to avoid seeing the sky by lower their gaze or cover their eyes. No further anomalous events occur if the subject neglect RPC-396-Alpha.
If RPC-396-1 continues to view the sky, RPC-396-Beta undergoes a ground impact, producing a large explosion. Any RPC-396-1 instances within the range of the incident blast are affected. External, unaffected witnesses report RPC-396-1 instances suddenly throw off, develop a third-degree burn, and subsequent disintegration of clothing.
RPC-396 is dose-dependant. Inhalation of RPC-396 for a certain amount of time will result in different effects on the subject. Further inhalation of RPC-396 will cause the hallucination it generated to become stronger and last longer. Based on many observations conducted, the stages of the effect divided into three stages. Below is a table detailing RPC-396 effect on RPC-396-1:
| Stages of effect |
Effect Duration |
Additional Notes |
| Mild |
One up to two hours. |
Even the slightest RPC-396 inhaled can trigger this stage of effect. |
| Moderate |
Two up to twelve hours. |
On some subject, They may experiences difficulty sleeping for several days post-inhalation; select instances develop permanent anablephobia. |
| Severe |
Undefined |
Subject on this stage will be referred to as RPC-396-2. Further explanations are written below. |
On mild up to moderate stages, the effect has a duration until expiration, usually lasting around one up to twenty-four hours. However, if inhaled long enough or inhaled intensively, the effect of RPC-396 may last indefinitely, subject henceforth will be designated as RPC-396-2.
Unlike RPC-396-1, RPC-396's effect on RPC-396-2 will last for an undefined amount of time with no sign of cessation. At first, no possible method was found to terminate the effect of RPC-396 on RPC-396-2, but after research into acquired documents, a ritual was discovered and must be conducted to terminate the effect. These ritual procedures are named Protocol 396 “Eye drop”. Until a more effective and scientific means of terminating said effects can be discovered, this protocol is reliable in terminating RPC-396's effects.
Protocol 396 “Eye drop”
To eliminate the effect of RPC-396 on RPC-396-2, the following procedure should be done:
- All RPC-396-2 is to be given a dagger.
- CSD Personnel is to be brought into an open area and must inhale RPC-396.
- Immediately after the CSD Personnel affected, all RPC-396-2 are to approach, knock over, and stab said CSD Personnel using the equipped dagger on any area on their body.
- RPC-396-2 is to cover the dagger on their possession in blood and await other RPC-396-2 to finish.
- When all RPC-396-2 were finished, they must direct the daggers to the sky at once.
- If succeeded, the air raid siren they are currently hearing will slowly fade out, sighting that RPC-396 effect has ended. All RPC-396 within a radius of 1 meter from the location of the ritual will turn to oxygen within a minute. The RPC-396-2 designation can be safely removed from the participant.
Additional notes:
- During the protocol, all participant is to remain looking down.
- Only CSD Personnel are allowed to be used for the procedure due to high risk of the protocol
- The CSD personnel are not required to be killed. Treating their wounds after the protocol is optional
- Failure in following the protocol will only result in RPC-396-Beta ended up crashed on the ground and terminate all participant
- Amnestication of personnel after the protocol is up to their own decision
Both RPC-396-1 and RPC-396-2 will actively produce a few amounts of RPC-396 during the exhalation process from their nose and mouth instead of carbon dioxide until the effects of RPC-396 has worn off.
Recovery:
RPC-396 was recovered from Keroman Submarine Base, Lorient, France in ██/██/1946. During the French Navy occupation of the base, they discovered in one of the basements there, a hidden chamber in one of the walls. The entrance to the chamber is sealed with concrete, made in such a way that it is almost integrated with the surrounding wall. Inside, 14 gas cylinder containing RPC-396 was found with an envelope. Documents inside the envelope had a GARD symbol on them
The French soldier that recognized the GARD symbol notified the Authority and gave all the recovered object. The Authority has taken all RPC-396 and the documents related to the nearby site.

Date:20th May 1942, Report #2533
Head Researcher: Dr. Schwarz, Black Sun Division
Written Anomaly Report: An anomalous red liquid we retrieved from an Amazonian tribe after an altercation between the tribe and our troops. Originally, this, as the report stated, is a traditional drink for the local tribe's ritual. This gave the drinker a severe hallucination. The tribe uses this drink to communicate with the eye of god. However, the facility in Brazil managed to modify this liquid in an attempt to give it a lethal effect. They sent a small sample to us to be tested and researched further. The Brazil Facility said they would contact us on any further advancements made to the current formula. Regarding their test result here… Well, they said we should experience it first hand.
We used a prisoner for this test, one of the French soldiers we caught. We tied him to a chair and forced him to drink the liquid, and waited for a reaction. He immediately turned his head and mentioned an immense pain. A few seconds later he began screaming about a loud voice, stated that it sounds like an air raid siren played next to him. Red gas suddenly began spewing out of his mouth and nostrils as well. Lab Assistant Thomas ran in equipping a gas mask and attempted to collect the gas. Not much gas was produced, enough to filling a small gas cylinder. After that, we waited a few moments for any long term effects to possibly manifest. We waited for a few moments for further effect.
After a few hours I moved onto a new aspect of the test. The report from the Brazil facility mentioned the tribe using the iconography of an eye, and I wanted to see if any anomalous properties were present in any way. When I commanded the subject to be dragged outside, he violently attempted to fight against the assistants wheeling him outside. Once outside he kept looking up while screaming, shortly after taking him outside he suddenly jolted up by an unseen force and died immediately. Burn marks could be seen on his body and sources found connections between this death and salvaged bodies from air raid attacks.
Research into the gas expelled by the subject showed that it has the same properties as the liquid sample when inhaled. Similar properties of Anablephobia and violent expiration are present. After several tests, we released the subject from their chair and observed what they did. All subjects ran for cover immediately, some by entering the base, some hid underneath their chair, all refusing to look up. The duration of these properties appears to be tied to how much gas is inhaled. We interrogated the subjects and they all saw the same thing, giant eyes in the sky with dozens of planes falling down to the ground.
That's all that I can report for now. We will send an update regarding our research on this gas soon enough.

Written Anomaly Report: Few tests have been conducted so far and it leads us to a problem. We started to notice that the liquid we have will soon run out after a few more tests. So we contacted the Brazil facility for an additional sample. While we waited for them, we also tried to duplicates these gas as well. The main method that we tried was to use the prisoners that breathed the gas to produce more of it since both inhaled and produced gas has the same property. The produced gas from each person is indeed small, but since a small amount of gas inhaled could trigger the effect, we tried to maximize the amount using multiple subjects exposed with the most possible minimum dose.
During this, we created a method of production we called "Kettenreaktion". The method is that we put five persons inside a sealed room and expose one of them with this gas. This person's breath then affects other persons inside and in less than an hour, the room becomes obscured in gas. What happened with these five persons is unknown until a few hours later. It took around 18 hours until the gas dispersed enough to see the status of the subjects. All five men were lying dead on the floor. The autopsy has shown that they were all strangled and debate whether this was an anomalous property or all 5 subject's own doing is ongoing. The remaining liquid was sent to a storage base since this gas has the same effect and wider effect radius.
Current Objective: Further research is required. If we are able to finalize the properties of this gas, we'd be able to mass-produce it and use it for air raids in enemy territory. The destructive power of a bomb, but without harming the battlefield or enemy equipment.

Emergency Communication!
Emergency Communication!
Emergency Communication!
Emergency Communication: Enemy attack on Lorient occurred again, this base is indeed strong enough to withstand bombardment, but the shake of the blasts were enough to cause an incident. One of the containers was damaged and the gas leaked out. Nobody knows who accidentally breathed it first, but that’s how this whole base covered in the red mist. We all, including me, are infected. The whole K1. The rest of the base is on lockdown. Gas masks were already too late for us to prevent the gas inhalation. Air raid siren can be heard all the time. We’ve waited for hours inside the base, knowing the effect of looking outside.
Something wrong and unexpected happened at midnight, around 7 hours after the incident. Two men became wild and attempted to kill anyone near them with a knife. They have been shot immediately, of course. We became worried about this, and what we feared turned out to be right, several men also became wild. One soldier bled out after a straight stab to his heart. We've hypothesized that this must be an unexpected side effect of long exposure to the gas. We grabbed our gas masks immediately to halt further exposure. We handled the situation and continued to wait until the effect worn off. But time passed and the sound of the siren still there. This is too long, something is really wrong. Help required as soon as possible.
Along with those documents, many hand-written letters in german language were found along.
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Viktor Schwartz, DAFA's leading scientist on researching an anomalous hallucinogen with the goal of using it for the war. I didn't plan to send this anywhere. Think of this as a personal log. I must say that I'm not used to writing things like this, but if something wrong happens to us, to me, I'd like to document it before it happens.
It's been one day since the incident. Terrible things keep happening every hour. Let me describe it one by one. First, of course, is the gas leak. That's the root of this whole mess. Nobody knows who breathed it first during the leak, but the gas was already spread. It is too late for most of us to grab a gas mask, but there are some who managed to wear it and flee to K2.
We thought that as long as we don't stare at the sky and wait for this painful sound of siren to die down, we'll be able to get everything back under control. Unfortunately, we were wrong. The gas effect this time is longer than expected. This siren's howl is a hellish torture. I want to cut my ears off, doing everything to make myself deaf, but unfortunately, some that already did said that they can still feel them even though they can't hear anything at all. We all wish to be deaf already, we are supposed to be, but we can still hear everything normally including this demonic siren's howl.
The second incident is that several men became wild and tried to kill anyone nearby. We have hypothesized that this is due to the gas, so we wore the gas mask immediately. At least we can only breathe our own breath. Few more hours after, some more men were also going wild. It seems that these gas masks, unfortunately, also ineffective because a few small doses of our own breath inhaled for hours are also dangerous. We decided to isolate ourselves. Now I'm currently in my room, writing this. I have removed the gas mask, as there's nobody but myself here.
I'm not interested in experiencing what those dead men felt before and during their attack, but if I experience it, I'll try to write it down.
To Whom It May Concern,
I left my room a few hours ago, some of the doctors here tried to researching the dissolvement of this gas. On the "Kettenreaktion" method, it took around half a day for this gas to disappear. They're intended to try to figure out how this process works and to make it faster.
Total casualties have reached 34, apparently, 6 men chose to go outside and accepted whatever happens to them. No help response coming yet. We spent all day trying to research this gas, but we found no clear answer. Things are getting worse.
Some doctors, including me, are giving up.
To Whom It May Concern,
A letter finally arrived, they confronted again the cult they attacked before and managed to capture several men. The prisoners aren't trying to fight for the information they have, they've willingly stated a ritual to stop it.
We sacrificed a man below the eye of the sky, stabbed him, and showed our blood-covered knife to the eye. The sound of the siren faded away soon after, but we're still cautious about looking up.
It's finally over.
To Whom It May Concern,
The worst has already passed, I'm actually not interested in writing things like this anymore, but this is worth writing down.
No one wants to go outside. Some doctors even choose to lock themselves up in their rooms. How about me? I do feel a bit of fear by just thinking to go outside, but to know that everyone here is feeling the same is really strange.
No activity occurs on K1 for days, and the high command is really not liking this. They sent a representative to check upon us. The problem is simple, nobody wants to go outside. The representative tried every method from negotiation to force, but when threatening us he got shot one of our soldiers.
This is just my thought, but why do they want us to go outside so badly? We need time to calm ourselves. I don't want to go outside yet.
They want to kill us. They want to drag us out. DAFA's troops already surrounded this place. God commanded them to bring us into his gaze. They will send the Luftwaffe to kill us when we are outside with their planes. We will fight them,. They will never drag us out. I, we all choose to die inside here rather than outside.
I have to hide the gas, hide all these letters to warn anyone who'll find it. They will never find it behind these concrete walls we will construct. I hope you, whoever reads this, are not them.
But if you are, tell the Fuhrer we are sorry. You cannot drag us alive out no matter what.
