Registered Phenomena Code: 564

Object Class: Beta-White

Hazard Types: Sapient Hazard, Immeasurable Hazard

Containment Protocols: The ███████ Hotel was acquired by the Authority, and barbed wire fences are to be constructed around the walls that surrounds the hotel. A window for observation is to be inserted into the front wall of the room in which RPC-564 is housed in¹. The ███████ Hotel is to be patrolled and secured by ASF security personnel at all times, especially during experiments being conducted with RPC-564. All tests are to be approved by the Head Researcher Site Director.².

Description: RPC-564 is a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar (and 2 amplificators) located in the Nº46 Room at ███████ Hotel, Panama City, Panama. RPC-564 cannot be moved outside the room by any means, as RPC-564-1 prevents it by pulling the subject into the room. RPC-564-1 is an unknown, omnipotent entity only found inside the apartment, RPC-564-1 calls itself "Sǫngr Kenna"³. RPC-564-1 is capable of speech (which is reported to come from above the room), and expreses emotions when a subject plays RPC-564, each response based on how well RPC-564 is played. RPC-564-1 only accepts songs falling into the category of Rock. The subject suffers different anomalies depending on the rating of its playing.

Discovery: RPC-564 and its anomalous capabilities were discovered after a maid working for the ███████ Hotel had reported voices inside the room RPC-564 was in. It is believed RPC-564 was left by a person known as Galbert ██████, who told hotel staff the night before about "Going to a concert.". Galbert ██████ has been hereby designated POI-212 for future encounters.

Test-564-001

Test Supervisor: Head Researcher Denzel ████████
Subject: CSD-3978
Instructions: CSD-3978 was instructed to use RPC-564, and play "Paint It Black" by The Rolling Stones. CSD-3978 was chosen due to experience with electric guitars.

Test: CSD-3978 was greeted by RPC-564-1, but doesn't reply back and looks down to the floor. RPC-564-1 comments on CSD-3978's shyness and asks for his "Quality in the Lyre⁴". CSD-3978 plays the instructed song, which after dropping his pluck and taking a few seconds to pick it up, RPC-564-1 orders CSD-3978 to stop, and comments that he should take less time starting the song again using his fingers, CSD-3978 continued until the end of the song. CSD-3978 wasn't granted any traits whatsoever.

Test Supervisor: Head Researcher Denzel ████████
Subject: CSD-8219.
Instructions: CSD-8219 was a guitarist playing for the Louisianian Band "████ ████". CSD-8219 was chosen to see how does RPC-564-1 react to professional guitarists. The song chosen was "Killing in the Name" by Rage Against the Machine.

Test: CSD-8219 played the song without any difficulties, which RPC-564-1 commented on. It was noted that RPC-564-1 called CSD-8219 "Farrokh", which was the stage name of CSD-8219. When the song finalized, RPC-564-1 caused CSD-8219 to increase her strength and reflexes, which CSD-8219 used to escape the apartment. Due to this being the first time RPC-564-1 granted the subject anomalous abilities, security personnel around RPC-564's apartment was minimal and un-prepared, letting CSD-8219 to escape easily. CSD-8219 was found 2 weeks later on ████████████, Costa Rica. CSD-8219 was terminated. Security around RPC-564 has been upgraded.

Instructions: CSD-1784 was used on Test 564-004, who didn't have experience in guitar playing. For 10 months, CSD-1784 was taught how to play the electric guitar at an acceptable level. This was done to see how RPC-564-1 reacts to subjects improving after their first test. The song chosen was "Dragonaut" by Sleep.

Result: When CSD-1784 was brought into the room, RPC-564-1 expressed curiosity and asked CSD-1784 why he had arrived a second time, CSD-1784 was ordered to be dismissive, and only responded to RPC-564-1 with "I just wanted to play here again.". RPC-564-1 showed to be surprised for CSD-1784's improvement, and after the end of the song CSD-1784 had experience several spasms. After regaining conciousness, CSD-1784 claimed to have known "The Secrets of the Lyre" and instantly played RPC-564 again, this time playing an unknown song. Security Forces were sent to stop CSD-1784, but RPC-564-1 stopped them from entering claiming that "He is going with me.". CSD-1784 emitted a radiant light which stopped researchers from looking. After the finale, CSD-1784 instantly disappeared. No personnel were hurt in the incident.
