Containment Protocols: Use of RPC-991 has proven incredibly useful for research into RPC-840 as a whole. Exact numbers and dates have been discovered and proven with the help of RPC-991. Researchers assigned to RPC-840 are advised to make use of RPC-991 to conduct research. Additionally, RPC-840's anomalous properties had presumably ceased before the establishment of the Authority; thus no containment procedures are currently in place.
As for preventing knowledge of RPC-840's anomalous attributes spreading to the populace, information concerning the habitability of Venus at a previous time has been revealed to the public, but not the RPC-840 events themselves. Additionally, NASA has allowed the Authority to remotely control advanced rovers on the surface of Venus which can be used to research the many anomalies RPC-840 is associated with, along with the NASA Anomalous Research Division (NASA ARD) which is currently funding and making multiple contributions towards projects relating to RPC-840.
You are reading revision 0.01v of the RPC-840 documentation. It is important that you read this revision as well as 0.02v due to the fact 0.01v goes into more detail about the numerous other anomalies relating to RPC-840 as a whole. 0.02v goes into detail of what actions will be taken if RPC-840 becomes a threat to humanity, and will be attached at the bottom of this file.

Description: RPC-840 is the designation given to multiple anomalous events and entities located on the planet of Venus. These Venusian anomalies have been designated separately and will be explained in greater detail. RPC-840-1 is the designation given to a decimated civilization that inhabited Venus since approximately 2 billion years ago and up until approximately 65 million years ago. Evidence shows that RPC-840-1 was a technologically advanced civilization similar to humans; however, it is presumed that they are entirely separate from the human species despite this. Use of RPC-991 has shown that Venus originally supported life; much similarly to Earth; along with an aerial view of an RPC-840-1 civilization before an apocalyptic event.

RPC-840-2 is an apocalyptic event that occurred on Venus approximately 65 million years ago. All but 2 RPC-840-1 specimens had perished over the course of 2 years. These 2 RPC-840-1 specimens have been designated the names Adam and Eve by other RPC-840-1 specimens. These 2 instances of RPC-840-1 were considered of high importance to RPC-840-1 as a whole.
RPC-840-3 is the designation given to the Chicxulub asteroid. High importance RPC-840-1 members designated Adam and Eve in texts found on Venus were aboard RPC-840-3 when it impacted Earth. The entities then proceeded to bring sapient/human life to planet Earth by unknown means. Human life-forms existing directly because of RPC-840-6 and -7's arrival to planet Earth would also suggest that the Panspermia theory is scientifically true.

RPC-840-4 is responsible for the mass extinction of RPC-840-1, and the harsh conditions of planet Venus. RPC-840-4 resembles a large cathedral constructed entirely out of remains from an unknown life-form. RPC-840-4 landed on Venus, causing the immediate causalities of approximately 4,000 RPC-840-1 specimens. Roughly 30 minutes later, RPC-840-4 released a gas of indiscernible composition. This gas was toxic to RPC-840-1, and approximately 85,000 casualties were recorded over a period of 12 days. This gas RPC-840-4 produced had seemingly released a bacterial infection onto the RPC-840-1 populace.
RPC-840-5 is a highly lethal bacterial infection created by RPC-840-4. RPC-840-5 functions similar to a modern-day fungal infection, aside from the immense production of lesion-like spores appearing on the body. These spores can also attach and spread to and from inanimate objects, and has been seen covering large areas of the ground on Venus. RPC-840-5 spores spread to the skin immediately after contact and will begin to travel to the cardiac muscle of the body.
RPC-840-8 and RPC-840-9 are 2 anomalous figures vaguely resembling a pyrotechnics mask. RPC-840-8 and -9 manifested on Venus approximately 2 hours after RPC-840-4 had landed. RPC-840-8 takes on the form of a dimly lit doorway, with a 'face' visible in the middle. Any biological lifeforms who approach RPC-840-8 within approximately 3 meters will be drawn near RPC-840-8, and will not be able to escape the grasp of the entity. RPC-840-8 will then neutralize any life-form once it has entered the entity's 'door-frame'.
RPC-840-9A takes on a similar appearance to RPC-840-8, except for the fact RPC-840-9A hovers over the ground. RPC-840-9A is moved along by an unidentified humanoid much smaller than itself; designated 'RPC-840-9B'. A single rope is connected to both RPC-840-9 entities. RPC-840-9 shows no signs of hostility, and mostly spend time wandering the wastelands of Venus.
RPC-840-9B has been observed to wail uncontrollably and show extreme signs of depression. The humanoid displays severe signs of post-traumatic stress disorder and is constantly vocalizing in an unidentifiable language. It is unknown if RPC-840-9B was created alongside RPC-840-9A, or was attached to the entity after the initial appearance of it on Venus. It is likely that more anomalous entities such as RPC-840-9 inhabited Venus after the apocalyptic event, however, no evidence to support this claim has surfaced.

Below is a rough translation of a writing piece found on the surface of Venus by MST Uniform-7 ("Tardigrades") The piece seems to be a note written by an unknown author. The note is directed towards Adam and Eve.
<BEGIN LOG>
My dear Adam, if you are reading this, then I am already gone.
We have fought for too long, and it's time to start anew.
You must go to the Palace Center, you must get there before the bacteria spreads to you.
Go in the ship, it's the only one we have. It was made for you and Eve.
You must find Eve, and we must start over.
Go to the distant planet: 'Sagitar'.Most likely referring to Earth It is marvelous, my dear Adam.
You can reset life, you can start anew.
You mustn't tell anyone about the Cathedral, you mustn't tell anyone about the infection.
I don't want anyone to see the devastation, or have to suffer the horrendous fate of the infection.
I love you, son. I love you.
However, you must press forward.
My dear Adam, you must start the new Genesis; and bring new life.
You must never come back here. This is your destiny.
Goodbye, son.
Ad astra.
<END LOG>
Below is an exploration log of a decimated RPC-840-1 civilization carried out by MST Uniform-7 ("Tardigrades"). Other RPC objects were utilized to establish an anomalous long-range radio communication system which enabled communication with the MST from ultra-long distances. Permission to utilize this anomalous technology for conducting research on other RPC objects is pending.
Date: 10/3/2027
Team Members: Commander Luke, Lieutenant Foxtrot, Cadet Wallace
<BEGIN LOG>
Researcher Yash: You made it to Venus?
Commander Luke: Positive.
Researcher Yash: Eight-forty-four should be around somewhere, you remember the plan correctly, right?
Commander Luke: You want us to go in that huge church made of bones?
Researcher Yash: Yes, please explore the area. Be wary of -eight or nine. They should be around there somewhere.
Cadet Wallace: Luke, I see something. It doesn't look like the pictures though. Should we take a closer look?
Commander Luke: Wait, let me see.
Lieutenant Foxtrot: Holy shit, I think that's 950.
Researcher Yash: Don't get too close to it; stick to the plan.
Commander Luke: We're almost at the church thing, whatever the hell it is. God.
Commander Luke: Wait, what's this?
Commander Luke: There's a book in a pile of rubble. It's in English!
Commander Luke reads aloud the book's inscription listed in Addendum 840-B.
Commander Luke: Oh my God.
Approximately 10 minutes pass.
Researcher Yash: Is there an entrance nearby?
Commander Luke: Yeah, there's a giant doorway.
Researcher Yash: Doorway? Does it have a face?
Commander Luke: Negative, sir. This is definitely eight-forty-four.
Researcher Yash: Make your way inside. I'm pretty sure the bacterium has been dormant for a couple thousand years at this point. You and the team should have no problem getting in there.
Commander Luke: No problem getting in, but how do we get out?
No response.
Commander Luke: Yeah.
Commander Luke along with Foxtrot and Wallace enter RPC-840-4.
Lieutenant Foxtrot: Commander, look.
Commander Luke: What the hell? This room has over a dozen doors. All windy paths and shit; there's a door on the ceiling!
Commander Luke: Holy fuck, there's a face in the wall. I think that thing is alive—
Researcher Yash: We've never explored the insides of eight-forty-four. Whatever's in there needs to be documented. Do you still have the equipment we provided?
Commander Luke: Negative. We lost them on day 3 of the way here. I don't know how, but they're just gone. We can't take a picture of this damned place, but I'm not sure if that's either a good or bad thing.
Lieutenant Foxtrot: Do you hear those screams? Holy shit. It sounds like the damned are in here with us right now.
Commander Luke: What is this? Writing on the wall?
Researcher Yash: Describe it to me.
Commander Luke: All these weird symbols and shit, can't understand a thing.
Commander Luke: People have definitely been in here. I thought this is what killed everyone on this planet? Well, I'm pretty sure whatever the fuck lives in a place like this isn't a person.
Cadet Wallace yells.
Cadet Wallace: What the hell was that? Goddamn that stung.
Commander Luke: You okay?
Cadet Wallace: Something attacked me. I don't know what—
There is a short moment of silence.
Cadet Wallace: Oh no.
Lieutenant Foxtrot: We got to get back to the ship, now! We can't be in here much longer—
A low pitched scream is heard.
Commander Luke: Oh shit!
Researcher Yash: What was that?
Commander Luke: Whatever it is, it doesn't want us in here!
Commander Luke: It's chasing after us, oh my fucking God. Oh my fucking God!
Communication ceases for approximately 13 seconds.
Researcher Yash: Luke? Wallace? Are you there?!
Commander Luke: It's.
Commander Luke: It's gone.
Commander Luke: The ship is—

RESEARCHER'S NOTE
In all my 30+ years of researching this anomaly, we have never sent someone to investigate RPC-840-4. The first time we do, they perish. I do not plan to postpone my research, however, I highly advise that no more MST members are to be sent to Venus. I wish to consult a meeting with Research Director Ken in the near future.
— Researcher Yash
Below is a transcribed discussion between Researcher Yash and Director of Research Ken.
<BEGIN LOG>
Researcher Yash: Ken, can we talk about eight-forty real quick?
Director Ken: Sure thing, Yash.
Researcher Yash: After the incident with Uniform-7, I came to a sudden realization.
Director Ken: And that would be?
Researcher Yash: You see, the Genesis event happened on Earth because Adam and Eve traveled to Earth, and created life with the advanced technological understandings they learned from inhabiting Venus. That's why Northrop got a picture of that infected car; they had them way before we did.
Researcher Yash: So here's my proposition: History will repeat itself, but for some reason, it's slower than before. We didn't get automobiles like they had until the 60's. They had them long before us. If they had similar technologies that we have, then maybe 840-4 will relocate to Earth some-time in the future, and we will be next.
Director Ken raises an eyebrow.
Researcher Yash: Plus, I have no clue why RPC-840-1 use the English language. It's modern-English of all things as well. Maybe English was the primary language used on Venus? That's really the only plausible resolution I have for that. Maybe that also ties into my proposition of history repeating itself. We forgot the language, but we re-learned it, and it's slightly different now.
Researcher Yash: Well, anyways, there is so much more to this than we originally thought. Maybe RPC-840-4 was created by some unidentifiable figure that we can't even comprehend, and its mission is to not allow technology to advance too far, as to not allow corruption and evil to spread in the universe.
Researcher Yash: While it does kill people rather morbidly (RPC-840-4), it might be the only plausible solution this supposed figure has to keep the universe stable.
Researcher Yash: I don't know how much longer we have on this Earth, Ken, I really, really don't.
Researcher Yash: However, we must embrace our impending fate, and hopefully it comes before we cause our own.
Researcher Yash: So, Ken, I think we are getting close to something.
Researcher Yash: As well as that, here's something I've been meaning to show you, Ken.
Researcher Yash reveals a large VHS tape labeled as "840-E"See Addendum 840-E.
Researcher Yash: It's something we probably shouldn't be getting close to.
<END LOG>
NOTICE: You are viewing a transcribed version of a VHS recording given to Site Director Ken during a discussion about RPC-840 with Researcher Yash.
00:00: White text with the captions "PLANET-WIDE CATASTROPHE WARNING", "THIS WARNING HAS BEEN BROADCASTED WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE VENUSIAN EMPEROR", and "FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS TO HELP ENSURE THE PRESERVATION OF OUR GREAT SPECIES." The entire layout is similar to modern-day Emergency Alert System Broadcasts, with a valid tone of unknown origin being played during this period.
00:15: A robotic voice is heard. Its vocalizations roughly translate to the following: "As ordered by the Venusian Emperor, an extinction-level/catastrophic event is currently ensuing on our home. Take the following words into consideration, dear citizens.
00:25: "Throughout our time, we have dreaded a fate such as this, but now, it has approached us with powerful force and is assuming its unholy presence on our home."
00:30: "Senior Adam and Eve have been relocated to the Sagitar planet, which has been theorized to be capable of preserving the Venusian species for a longer time period. Their ship has already landed, and we have willingly sacrificed ourselves for the greatest of our species to continue their lives."
00:40: "Sagitar is merely a temporary home, as Adam and Eve are there to begin the new Genesis as proposed by their ██████."Possibly the individual who wrote the recovered note on Venus. Redaction applied until further notice.
01:00: "It is not our choice to whether you want to persevere and continue to live. If this is how you wish to spend the final hours of your life, we wish you the best as luck, as we are all inevitably within its grasp."
01:10: "There is nothing we can do to save our planet, however, we are able to persevere on Sagitar instead."
01:20: "We are going to be their ancestors. They will most likely not remember us, as they will never be able to see the destruction caused by the Unholy Cathedral. It is best if we never set foot on this planet ever again."
01:25: "Long live the Venusian species, and goodnight to all who is unfortunate enough to withstand this fate. The rest of this broadcast will be used to transmit the glorious notes of our theme. Please rise, as this will be the last time you will be able to. Farewell, fellow Venusians."
Note: It is highly likely that the 'Venusian' species referred to multiple times in the transcription is RPC-840-1. The 'Venusian Emperor' is thought to be the ruler of Venus's civilization.

Containment Protocols: Humanity must not exceed a Type II civilization as presented on the Kardashev scale. It is hypothesized that humans will attain Type II status in the next couple thousand years. As of 2023, humanity has not yet reached Type I status, thus the threat RPC-840 poses is on low alert. The Gamma Black classification has been applied due to the immense threat RPC-840-4 will pose when it is alerted to Earth's growing technological capabilities.
The Authority is to prevent humanity from exceeding into a Type II civilization. Several international laws are to be applied to prevent the rapid growth of technology when humanity reaches a Type I civilization. Any countries that refuse to abide by the new international law (which has been disguised as if it is meant to slow rapid inflation or economic failure) is to be dealt with by force if necessary. Containment Protocols will be updated if any major changes to the geopolitical and geographic structure affect them in any way in the future. Construction on an advanced rocket to allow up to 500 humans to escape to another planetary body was launched by NASA and the Authority in 2021. This will allow humanity to persevere on other nearby habitable planets (which will most likely be discovered before a Type II civilization is achieved) if RPC-840-4 becomes a more imminent threat to human-kind.
If by any chance humanity exceeds this threshold, or RPC-840-4 lands on Earth's surface unprecedentedly, it will be nearly impossible to deal with the threat as RPC-840-4 is technologically superior, and its sole purpose is to exterminate all hyper-advanced civilizations in the universe. Defeat is to be admitted by Earth's forces, and the previously mentioned advanced rocket is to be boarded by all highly-intelligent and governmental figures at the current time as soon as possible.
Description: RPC-840's relation to life on Earth, the species RPC-840-1, and all other details have been omitted from this revision as they have not been modified. A file which briefly recaps all the separate anomalous entities/events/phenomena omitted from the previous revision has been attached below in a list-like format. This revision will mostly focus on RPC-840-4; the large cathedral-like structure mentioned in the previous revision of the RPC-840 document.
Below is a brief recap of all the separate anomalies in the collective designation that is RPC-840. The following information has been listed due to the fact the current revision you are viewing will not include the anomalies listed below in the description.
- RPC-840-1: An advanced, human-like civilization that inhabited Venus up until 65 million years ago. It is hypothesized that RPC-840-1 is responsible for the Genesis event which brought human life to planet Earth. RPC-840-1 referred to themselves as the 'Venusian' species, and seem to have formed countries, cities, and governmental ideologies on the landscape of Venus.
- RPC-840-2: RPC-840-2 is the collective designation given to the apocalyptic event that decimated the RPC-840-1 population. RPC-840-2 is merely a codename for the event itself.
- RPC-840-3: The designation given to the Chicxulub asteroid that is responsible for the extinction of the Dinosauria species 65 million years ago. 2 RPC-840-1 specimens (RPC-840-6 and RPC-840-7) were aboard RPC-840-3 when it impacted Earth.
- RPC-840-4: A massive structure resembling a modern-day cathedral constructed entirely of remains from an unidentified species. RPC-840-4 landed on Venus, and released a toxic gas which spread an infectious bacterium onto the RPC-840-1 populace (RPC-840-5). RPC-840-4 is responsible for the mass extinction of RPC-840-1, and the inhabitability of planet Venus.
- RPC-840-5: RPC-840-5 is the previously mentioned infectious disease released by RPC-840-4 when it arrived on Venus. RPC-840-5 operates similarly to a modern-day fungal infection, with multiple tumorous spores spreading to and from the body, inanimate objects, and the surface of the planet. It is presumed RPC-840-5 is dormant as of now, and no longer poses a threat.
- RPC-840-6: The RPC-840-1 specimen referred to as 'Adam' in ancient texts recovered from Venus. RPC-840-6 seems to be of high importance to RPC-840-1's culture.
- RPC-840-7: The RPC-840-1 specimen referred to as 'Eve'. RPC-840-7 is of high importance and seems to be related to RPC-840-6 in some way.
- RPC-840-8: An anomalous entity which appeared on Venus after RPC-840-4 had initially appeared. RPC-840-8 resembles a doorway that is protruding from the surface below it which is dimly lit with a single light. RPC-840-8's 'facial area' resembles a modern-day pyrotechnics mask. Any individual who comes into proximity of RPC-840-8 will be terminated as they will be unable to escape the grasp the entity has on them.
- RPC-840-9A: RPC-840-9A is one half of RPC-840-9: The designation given to both RPC-840-9A and -9B. RPC-840-9A is a large porcelain entity similar in appearance to RPC-840-8, except for the fact RPC-840-9A hovers above the surface of Venus. RPC-840-9A seems to pose no immediate threat.
- RPC-840-9B: RPC-840-9B is seen carrying RPC-840-9A along by a single rope connected to the 2 entities. RPC-840-9B wanders aimlessly and is seen emanating random distressed calls.
- RPC-950 [AWAITING POSSIBLE RE-CLASSIFICATION TO RPC-840-10]: RPC-950 was spotted nearby RPC-840-4 as described in Exploration Log 840-C. It is possible that RPC-950 was created by RPC-840-4, however, it has been considered a completely separate anomaly as of now.
New hypothetical research about RPC-840 from Researcher Yash has been proven to be true. The RPC-840-4 structure is controlled by a god-like figure which cannot be understood with current human knowledge. This figure/being will relocate RPC-840-4 to any planetary body with a civilization that has exceeded a Type II civilization on the Kardashev scale, or has used any other means to gain complete technological prosperity which might exceed a Type II civilization.
RPC-840-4's purpose in the universe is to exterminate all life that has exceeded such technological boundaries, which keeps a balance of power within the universe. Currently, RPC-840-4 is known for the mass extinction of the 'Venusian' race (RPC-840-1) which inhabited Venus around 65 million years ago. RPC-840-4 is able to summon a deadly gas (RPC-840-5) which will then release a bio-logical hazard (highly-contagious disease) onto the populace of the planet it is currently landed on. Said disease is highly lethal, and no possible way to cure it has ever come to fruition, as it is highly likely that it can not be cured by any means. RPC-840-4 will also summon anomalous beings (currently only RPC-840-8, -9A, and -9B have been seen) which will aid in exterminating the civilization.
