Containment Protocols: RPC-507 is to be contained within a 7m³ standard Alpha-class holding cell reinforced with 11cm thick steel plates at Site-0381 Site-002. The inside of the containment cell is to mimic the natural habitat of Python bivittatus2, with some minor differences.
RPC-507 is to be fed 1 kg of partially and/or fully functioning electronic components weekly to maintain a steady rate of observable activity. In the case of a containment breach, MST Alpha-5 "Thor's Hammer" is to be notified immediately, as they are considered first responders. The usage of a high-voltage stun gun to temporarily paralyze RPC-507 is permitted if RPC-507 becomes hostile or difficult to contain.
Description: RPC-507 is a large snake-like creature with characteristics of a non-duo-sided Ethernet cable with a length of 2.4 meters and a weight of 49.8 kilograms. It displays the physical and behavioral characteristics of a male Python bivittatus. As of 6/11/2015, RPC-507 can now communicate verbally (See Addendum 507-1 for more details.)
Despite RPC-507's somewhat reptilian personality and appearance, there are no scales visible. The flexible cable portion of its body is comprised mainly of low-density polyethylene. The RJ45 connector at the end of its body is fully capable of functioning as a head. This connector can separate itself into what are observed to be jaws; however, the bottom jaw cannot dislocate itself like the bottom jaw of a snake. The individual metallic pins within the connector function as multiple teeth for RPC-507.
RPC-507 is observed to consume only fully or partially functioning electronic technology and components such as circuit boards, portable laptop computers, pagers, network adapters, and even smaller cables. How it determines the condition of electronic items is currently unknown. RPC-507 does not prey on organic life such as deer, rats, or plants due to its strict diet of inorganic material. However, if overfed, will start to consume organic matter. RPC-507 is also known to use Megabytes, Gigabytes, Kilobytes, and Terabytes as a way to store memory.
Feeding RPC-507 more than 1 kg per week will result in increased hostility towards organic and inorganic beings that approach it primarily due to an increased desire to consume. If hostility persists for more than 2 days, administering a single dosage of a high-voltage shock to RPC-507 and starving it for an additional 2 weeks will neutralize the hostility. In a neutral state, RPC-507 will only attack in self-defense if any kind of hostility is displayed towards it.
