Registered Phenomena Code: 720

Object Class: Omega-Orange

Hazard Types: Extra-terrestrial Hazard, Gravitational Hazard, Ideological Hazard, Visual Hazard

Containment Protocols: Select Mobile Specialized Teams have been tasked with the containment of the RPC-720 phenomena.

MST X-Ray-6 (Annullifers)¹: MST X-Ray-6 are tasked with expunging information of RPC-720 from the media.

MST Oscar-5 (Web Nerds)²: MST Oscar-5 are tasked with the expungement of information regarding RPC-720 from the internet.

MST Charlie-40 (Debunkers)³: MST Charlie-40 are tasked with the containment of RPC-720-A instances.

RPC-720-A instances are to be kept in a standard humanoid containment chamber. RPC-720-A instances found containing information that can lead to a breach in information security are to be terminated. If an RPC-720-A instance enters an RPC-720-C event, said instance is to be removed from site to a designated location where it can become an RPC-720-D instance. RPC-720-D instances are to be tracked by Authority satellite Watcher V.

Description: RPC-720 is a phenomenon that affects individuals born on May 21st of any year. Individuals affected by RPC-720 (hereby designated RPC-720-A) are found to adamantly believe in the concept of astrology, specifically in the astrological sign Taurus. RPC-720-A instances are created when subjects look up at the sky during the date of May 21st. During this time, if an individual susceptible to RPC-720's effects observes the constellation of Taurus, they will immediately fall under the influence of an extremely powerful cognitohazard, designated RPC-720-B.

Once an RPC-720-A instance falls under the effect of RPC-720-B it will enter a trance-like state. Said instance will remain motionless with the exception of its head. The subject's head will remain oriented towards the constellation Taurus as it transits across the night sky. Once the sun rises, this trance-like state is broken and subject will return to their home. Individuals interacting with RPC-720-A instances prior to them coming under the effect of RPC-720 will describe them as extremely joyful. RPC-720-A instances will attempt to commune with friends and loved ones to describe their experience under RPC-720-B.

RPC-720-A instances claim to have a conversation with an entity designated RPC-720-Ω. RPC-720-A instances will begin to exit their house every night and begin to pray to RPC-720-Ω. During their prayers, RPC-720-A instances will kneel and have their arms outstretched into the sky, and will hold this position until daybreak. Prayers spoken by RPC-720-A instances are comprised of randomized syllables from the instance's native language. Words produced by the RPC-720-A instance are made up of random syllables from their native language. Once an instance finishes its prayer, it will gain a piece of information that the instance did not previously know.

As RPC-720-A instances pray to RPC-720-Ω, they will begin to carry objects on them as offerings to RPC-720-Ω. RPC-720-A instances describe that RPC-720-Ω requires objects of value to the person for “exquisite” information. Objects will vanish sometime during prayer. RPC-720-A instances will become extremely emotional as they continuously pray to RPC-720-Ω. Eventually RPC-720-A instances will initiate an RPC-720-C event.

During an RPC-720-C event, RPC-720-A instances will begin to pray, but they will begin to speak in multiple languages previously unbeknownst to the subject. During the event, large horns resembling that of Bos taurus indicus⁴ will begin to sprout from the head of the RPC-720-A instance. Horns are estimated to grow on average from 0.5 to 1 meter. Once the horns' growth halts, a small glowing orb will appear in between the tips of them. Once this occurs, the RPC-720-A instances will become an RPC-720-D instance.

An RPC-720-D instance will first begin to levitate, then gradually accelerate at a rate of 0.8333m/s. Upon creation of an RPC-720-D instance within the atmosphere, its speed will begin to increase by 10 km/sec. RPC-720-D’s speed will continue to increase until it reaches superluminal speeds. RPC-720-D will continue increasing in speed until it reaches an unknown area of the Taurus constellation.

RPC-720-Ω is an unknown entity currently residing in an unknown area of the Taurus constellation. The entity's location is hypothesized to be located between the ██████, █████████, and Zeta Tauri star systems due to the large number of spatial abnormalities in the area. It is hypothesized that RPC-720-D instances completely halt when they reach this hypothesized area. Artistic instances of RPC-720-A have illustrated RPC-720-Ω as appearing as a large quadrapedal bovine-like entity with sharp teeth and large horns. Illustrations depicting RPC-720-Ω usually have a star or a halo floating in between its horns.

Discovery: Evidence of the RPC-720 phenomenon dates back 2,400 years ago in ancient Babylon. Evidence of several Babylonian cults revolving around the worship of RPC-720-Ω have been found by civilian and Authority archeologists. During an expedition led by Authority researcher, Sarah ████████, led to the discovery of several tablets designated Evidence-720-A. Evidence-720-001 illustrates a scene of several humanoids surrounding a floating humanoid with two large horns. At the very top of the illustration a large bovine-like entity is visible.

In 1790, Auctoritas agents infiltrated a cult in Paris, France during the French Revolution. The cult was composed of multiple French nobles. The cult was dedicated to the worship of RPC-720-Ω. The cult would kidnap children from lower class families. Before the agents could act many civilians broke into the cult’s estate and slaughtered all the cult members. Authority agents within the estate were able to escape with many objects relating to the cult. One agent, Roberto Calidus was able to recover a painting named by the cultist as “Atteindre Dieu” or “Reaching God”. The painting is currently held at Site-007 and is designated Evidence-720-021. Evidence-720-021 depicts the cultist surrounding a floating humanoid with a bovine head below a cloudy sky. Various wing humanoids can be seen surrounding the humanoid. Two large horns and be seen in the background of the painting with the sun between the horns.

Cults surrounding RPC-720-Ω have decreased over time either due to other groups of interest intervening or all members within the cult becoming RPC-720-D instances. Below are various documents belonging to several GoIs who have encountered the RPC-720 phenomena or cults revolving around the worship of RPC-720-Ω.

The task force disembark from their vehicle and group near the outside of the building.

LCpl. Adam ████: We are the location and we’re ready to beach in. Do we know what’s going on in there, over?

Command: We’re not sure, but remember to turn safety off. There should be no one inside the building.

LCpl. Adam ████: Got it. Out.

LCpl. Adam ████ signals for the rest of the team.

LCpl. Adam ████: We’re going in.

The task force enter the building. The inside of the building contains various shipping containers. In the center of the building a group of five men can be seen surrounding a man kneeled on the ground.

Agent Autumn ███████: Five unknowns in the center of the building.

LCpl. Adam ████: Everyone spread out and surround them. Stick to the shadows.

The task force split up around the building slowly surrounding the group of men. As the task force approach the men the team noticed a large hole in the roof of the building. The night sky is visible. The men can be heard chanting.

Rfn. Wadid ████: What are they doing?

Rfn. Jonathan █████████: Chanting retard. What else.

Cpl. Samuel ██████: Quiet.

The team observe as the man in the center of the group begins to grow large horns.

LCpl. Adam ████: We’re going in.

The task force rapidly approach the group of men.

LCpl. Adam ████: Get on the ground!

A man in a black suit turns around and pulls out a pistol, but is gunned down by Cpl. Samuel ██████.

Two other men wearing suits turn and reveal bladed weapons. They attempt to attack Agent David █████, but are gunned down by Rfn. Jonathan █████████ and Rfn. Wadid ████.

A blinding light appears to emanate from between the horns as the man with horns begins to levitate.

The final remaining man pulls out a grenade, but is gunned down before he could pull the pin.

The light emanating from the horned man dims, but the man continues to rise.

The riflemen fire upon the man, but the man rises through the hole in the roof.

Document ID: Anomaly No.1085

Codename: Floating Demon Syndrome Type/Level: Phenomenon / Caution Authorship: Yuen Li Chen Date: 06/26/2020 Location: N/A

[Image Caption]

Details:

1. Anomalous Characteristics

Anomaly No.1085is a phenomenon with connections to people born on May 21st. It is unknown how people come under the effect of Anomaly No.1085. Individuals under the effect of Anomaly No.1085will begin to pray to an unknown entity designated Anomaly No.1085-A. Once an individual comes under the influence of Anomaly No.1085, they will begin to gain information previously unknown to the individual.

Once an individual reaches a certain point while under the influence of Anomaly No.1085, said individual will grow a pair of horns and a sphere of light will form in between the horns. The individuals will begin to levitate at an increasing rate. Individuals will eventually exit the atmosphere and begin to reach superluminal speed. According to PCAAO researchers embedded within CNSA (China National Space Administration) have observed that individuals under the effect of Anomaly-1085 move toward the Taurus Constellation.

2. History

The Anomaly No.1085 phenomenon was originally encountered when a village in ███████, Xinjiang reported that several villagers “grew horns and floated away.” An investigatory team was sent to investigate the village. Upon arrival, the investigatory team witnessed several villagers ascending into the sky. The investigatory team alerted a local outpost and several CNSA satellites were utilize to monitor the ascending villagers.

The villagers were observed exiting the Earth’s atmosphere and increase their velocity. The villagers were monitored until they were ██████ km away from the Earth. The phenomenon was given the classification of Anomaly No.1085 on ██/██/████.

Unnatural Incident #: 621

Date: 05/21/1995

Description: UI-621 occurred on 05/21/1995 in Caracas, Venezuela. Agent █████ intercepted a cult within the town of ████████. The agent observed several individuals within the cult grow a pair of horn. Several other individuals were spotted by the agent surrounding the horned individuals praying. The horned individuals soon developed a spherical glowing object in between their horns and began to rise from the ground. The individuals continually rose until █████ could not observe them. The remaining members in the cult remained praying until daybreak. Once the sun rose the cult members began to disperse. Agent █████ managed to abduct a male cult member and take him to the nearest Destacamento facility.

Project Astrological Bust

Assets Required: The creation of various Cover Protocols and false information campaigns.

Project Proposal: The rise of various anomalies and phenomena with connections to astrology has increased over the past years. The Authority has been tasked, as is its mission statement, with the containment of these anomalies. I, Dr. Jeremiah Adams, have proposed the creation of the following operation. It has been observed that a majority of astrological phenomena require individuals to believe in astrology to become affected by certain astrological anomalies. For example; RPC-720 is a phenomena or entity that preys upon individuals who were born on the months of Taurus and believe in the concept of astrology. Project Astrological Bust would spread various disinformation and Cover Protocols that favor a secular view on astrology. These campaigns would support the belief that astrology is nothing other than an outdated belief. The more people who believe this, the more people we can save from anomalies like RPC-720. - Dr. Jeremiah Adams

Confirmation: The aforementioned project has been accepted by the Global Directorate.
