RPC-686 undergoing a training exercise with MST Echo-07, 15/4/2004.
Registered Phenomena Code: 686
Object Class: Alpha-Orange (Utility)
Hazard Types: Sapient Hazard, Organic Hazard, Temporal Hazard
Containment Protocols: RPC-686 is to be contained within a standard humanoid containment chamber at Site-279. As of 27/9/2000, due to its anomalous properties and willingness to cooperate with Authority personnel, RPC-686 was allowed to, and has, joined MST Echo-07 "L'Infanterie". A GPS tracking device has been implanted in RPC-686's neck. If RPC-686 strays too far from Echo-7 Personnel, MST Echo-07 are to track down and temporarily contain RPC-686. However, the aforementioned scenario has not yet occurred.
Description: RPC-686 is a caucasian female of French descent, standing at 175 centimeters and weighing 66 kilograms. RPC-686 was formerly known as Nadia Valloton; personnel, especially those of the Protection Division, are permitted to refer to RPC-686 by its former name outside of authority documentation.
RPC-686 is biologically identical to a non-anomalous human female from the age range of 23-27. It possesses a greater amount of strength, agility, and endurance when compared to the average human female, but not to the degree where these attributes can be considered anomalous. RPC-686 has been noted be fluent in French and English, although RPC-686's English is accented. RPC-686 has not attempted to harm any Authority personnel, and in one instance, has shown willingness to protect staff from harm.
RPC-686's anomalous properties manifest when RPC-686 is fatally injured. Upon the neutralization of RPC-686, RPC-686 will re-manifest in the location it was last sighted in. The source of RPC-686’s anomalous properties is currently unknown, but has been theorized that RPC-686 is subject to a localized temporal hazard. Further evidence to support this theory is the fact that RPC-686 does not undergo the process of aging. RPC-686 has been found to be able to extend its anomalous properties to biological organisms, causing a copy of the organism to re-manifest shortly after the remanifestation of RPC-686. However, it has been found that this process only works within certain conditions. Attempts to replicate inorganic material using the same method has resulted in failure.
Addendum-686-A—Discovery: RPC-686 was discovered on 26/█/1999, when RPC-686 was shot fatally by accident during a military exercise outside of Amiens, France. RPC-686 re-manifested 5 seconds later, completely unharmed. The French Army contacted the Authority, who proceeded to contain RPC-686 at Site-279. Adrien Molyneux, the leader of MST Echo-07, recommended that RPC-686 join Echo-07 after testing, albeit with some limitations.
Date: 14/3/2000
Procedure: RPC-686 was given a FAMAS-F1 rifle and was told to run the MST CQB operations course. The course involves multiple simulated combat scenarios. This test was observed by Colonel Adrien Molyneux.
Results RPC-686 loaded its rifle and started running. RPC-686 shot all the initial targets in 3.2 seconds, and continued to move. The next part of the course featured a simulated "Assailant" CSD-class holding an unloaded USP service pistol to the head of Researcher Dimitrov. RPC-686 was then given a blank-firing USP, which it used to fire at the CSD. RPC-686 "hit" the CSD on the first shot. The CSD was then sent back to his cell. RPC-686 eventually completed the course in 50.5 seconds, meeting the requirements for MST service.
Date: 14/3/2000
Incident: Mere minutes after Test 686-1, a security breach had occurred near the training site. An armed CSD had neutralized two researchers, taking another Researcher hostage. RPC-686, still armed with the rifle, ran out into the hall. 686 approached the CSD, vocalizing "Shoot me, I dare you," The CSD then shot 686, who re-manifested 5 seconds later. RPC-686 then wrestled the pistol out of the CSD's hand, which led to the CSD entering a state of panic. In this state of panic, the CSD released the researcher. RPC-686 proceeded to shoot the CSD a total of 12 times before dropping the pistol. RPC-686 then gave the researcher a "Thumbs up" gesture before voluntarily returning to containment.
Date: 1/4/2000
Procedure: RPC-686 was assigned to sit completely motionless in a standard test chamber, while various fatal hazards appeared.
Results RPC-686 was shot with low caliber firearms, mirroring the incident that lead to RPC-686's discovery. RPC-686 was neutralized, re-manifesting 5 seconds later. The same procedure was repeated with various hazards, including knives, explosives, large-caliber firearms, poison gas, and incendiary weaponry. RPC-686 re-manifested from all tested variables, with times recorded from 5 to 45 seconds. RPC-686 was later re-contained, and the results were forwarded to Colonel Adrien Molyneux.
Date: 27/9/2000
Colonel Adrien Molyneux, Looking over the data recovered from both tests, asked for the approval of the Protection Division leadership to recruit RPC-686 into MST Echo-7. Molyneux arrived at RPC-686's containment cell, paperwork in hand. RPC-686 had accepted the interview as soon as it was proposed.
Foreword: The following is the Interview between Echo-07 Colonel Molyneux and RPC-686 recorded at RPC-686's containment cell at Site-279. Since the interview originally took place in French, it has been translated into English.
<Begin Log>
Molyneux: “Greetings, RPC-686. before we go further, I refuse to call you by some designation, especially considering what I have brought with me. Now, what is your name?"
RPC-686: "My name? It is Nadia Vallotton, Colonel Molyneux."
Molyneux: "Excellent. Now, you may have noticed that I have been overseeing your tests. Tell me, would you be interested in enlisting in some form of military service again?"
RPC-686: "It depends. Since I am still being contained, There is really no use in asking that question, sir.”
Molyneux: "That is where you are wrong, Ms. Valloton. I am the current commander of MST Echo-7. We specialize in direct action, being deployed as a supplement to larger Authority operations. I do believe that you would make an excellent asset to both Echo-7 and the Authority as a whole. Would you be interested in joining?"
RPC-686: "It certainly beats having to stare at a wall all day, so I’m in. What's the catch?"
Molyneux: "Nothing much. Just a little surgery to put a GPS tracker inside of your neck. We can't exactly be having you breaching containment, after all. Otherwise, you are to receive the standard privileges of a standard MST unit."
RPC-686: "I would be willing to do that. After all, My, well, oddities, lead to me being a good soldier, no?"
Molyneux: "Precisely. Now, before you’re officially part of the MST, we need you to fill out standard paperwork. I know it’s boring, but it’s protocol. I would also say you would be putting your life on the line, but, not really in your case."
RPC-686 proceeds to laugh lightly
RPC-686: "Damn right. Hand over the paperwork, Molyneux. I’m in."
<End Log>
From there, RPC-686 signed the paperwork provided by Colonel Molyneux. Approximately 2 hours after the interview had concluded, RPC-686 had undergone the surgery to receive the GPS implant and was officially designed as a member of MST Echo-7.
Date: 29/5/2001
Procedure: RPC-686 was assigned to sit completely motionless in the barracks of Echo-07. RPC-686 was assigned to hold 4 different items, while it would be neutralized by small arms fire 4 times.
Results: A table of the test's results can be found below.
| Item Held |
Results |
| One (1) Rattus norvegicus (Deceased via artificial means) |
Shortly after RPC-686's re-manifestation, a genetic clone of the rat manifested within RPC-686’s hands. RPC-686 proceeded to place the rat in containment |
| One (1) 1) Rattus norvegicus (Deceased via natural causes) |
Upon RPC-686's re-manifestation, The corpse of the rat had dissapeared. 5 minutes later, the corpse re-manifested. Approximately 5 seconds after remanifestation, the corpse spontaneously combusted. |
| One (1) HK USP service pistol |
Upon neutralization of RPC-686, the USP was dropped. Upon RPC-686's re-manifestion, a copy of the USP was created. This copy was then fired, only to disintegrate into a sand-like substance The substance proceeded to reform itself into an additional copy of the USP, albeit one which had a consistency comparable to that of modeling clay |
| Five (5) 5.56x45mm NATO cartridges |
Like the previous test, RPC-686 had dropped the cartridges upon neutralization. Upon the re-manifestation of RPC-686, only one exact copy of the 5 5.56x45mm cartridges was created. The only exact copy was then loaded into a FAMAS F1 rifle, only to explode within the weapon during firing. Three of the four additional cartridges that had manifested were comprised of wood, gallium, and plastic. These cartridges did not contain a firing agent, and were thus considered inoperable. The final cartridge that had manifested was a 7.62x39mm cartridge, which was found to be fully-functional. |
