Containment Protocols:
ASF Unit-120-B has been created to be permanently stationed around RPC-509 to combat the numerous hostile anomalous entities that periodically emerge from RPC-509. On-site units have set up designated "kill-zones" to ensnare entities by use of firing lanes with designated heavy weapons teams. Required ordinances used in the termination of RPC-509-1 instances must include high explosive incendiary ammunition in order to ensure the proper termination of RPC-509-1 beings.
If termination has not been done by the appropriate measures listed in the containment protocols, the corpse of the entity must be incinerated to prevent the spread of anomalous contagions. A mechanized infantry unit of 200 ASF soldiers coupled with 10 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are to be deployed each and every time an instance of RPC-509-1F is spotted.
Description:
RPC-509 refers to the town of [DATA EXPUNGED], Mississippi, and a large slaughterhouse 3 miles away from it. The town has suffered extensive and massive structural deterioration over time due to the lack of maintenance for well over 30 years; this includes crumbling buildings, disintegration roads, and the development of plant growth on many of the buildings as to the lack of upkeep. With the entirety of the town populace being wiped out or kidnapped by RPC-509-1 instances or being evacuated by the 33rd Special Operations and the Authority, the Authority has taken copious measures of setting up security checkpoints near every road and defensive measures such as mines, ambush spots, and experimental sentry turrets alongside organic personnel.
While most buildings in the area are relatively normally ruined, some buildings have shown themselves to be extra-dimensional locations within their interiors that hold a high number of hostile entities and anomalies. These buildings have been designated as Charnel Houses: Charnel Houses can be observed having red organic pulsing growths on both its interior and exterior.
Corrosion is heavily significant in Charnel Houses and it is advised are to wear hazmat suits when entering a Charnel House. Charnel Houses contain a large number of RPC-509-1 instances and numerous environmental hazards such as blood portals that measure at around 2x2 meters and can teleport the victim to any number of locations throughout the slaughterhouse, 18,000 to [Redacted] gallons of blood that will form a large flood and drown anyone without proper equipment as well as calling a number of debilitating health effects to anyone without a hazmat suit, in-door weather environments such as large gusts of 40 miles per hour wind and acid rain, and a considerable number of other anomalous effects within "Charnel Houses". Currently, there are fourteen Charnel Houses located throughout the entire town and each has had a platoon of heavy weapons units assigned to patrol the outer perimeter of these buildings.
The slaughterhouse itself is made up of typical brick and steel in its construction with a volume of 30,000 cubic feet. However, despite the non-anomalous building materials that it is made up of, it has proven itself resistant to conventional demolitions and artillery. Moaning in the 0.5 decibels range can be heard every 60 minutes from the building and the source of this phenomenon is relatively unknown. It is believed that RPC-509 is the source of the RPC-509-1 instances that manifest into the Charnel Houses and the slaughterhouse itself.
Exploration within the main slaughterhouse has yielded many findings of what happened to the citizens of [DATA EXPUNGED], Mississippi. From rooms filled with mutilated corpses attached to hooks, vats filled with an unknown biological liquid, and entire pools of blood. It is currently theorized that RPC-509 acts as some sort of extra-dimensional biological processing center where various entities are turned into sustenance for RPC-509-1 instances. Another feature of the slaughterhouse is its ability to rearrange rooms and hallways within itself to confuse and lure unsuspecting victims into encountering RPC-509-1 instances or being killed by one of its numerous traps and hazards that manifest throughout the slaughterhouse. The hazards are found within Charnel Houses, but many of them have been reported as being affixed to the central anomaly itself. These traps include corrosive pools, trap doors that lead to a crimson void that pulls unsuspecting prey and burns them alive, and flooded water rooms where the victim is eaten alive by a voluminous number of anomalous aquatic mutant animals, to a portal of hooks and chains that mutilates the victim.
Heavily armed squads of MST and ASF teams have been sent inside of RPC-509 to collect data and information in regards to the nature of the anomaly, but the building has been getting more and more aggressive towards expedition attempts. Multiple ASF platoons have reported encountering RPC-509-1A instances in the [Redacted] in an unusually large frozen meat locker room. This aggression is cited to be part of an attempt by an MST known as the Vanguard Bombers who bombarded the slaughterhouse with experimental artillery designed to destroy anomalous structures, vehicles, and creatures during Incident RPC-509-35F.
Discovery:
RPC-509 was discovered on March 15th, 1976 in which a series of murders involving mutilation and significant dismemberment occurred in the town of ███████, Mississippi. Authority agents monitoring the situation quickly intervened and a cover story of a violent riot over food shortages was fabricated to prevent the incident from being discovered by public news outlets. When the US National Guard was deployed to the situation, they were met and terminated by RPC-509-1 entities and or brought inside of RPC-509. When the Authority discovered the incident and the failing containment efforts by the American AOI 33rd Special Operations, rapid deployment of an ASF was made into the town of ███████ to prevent any further National Guard or 33rd Special Operations casualties. Heavy weapons teams and light armored elements were able to neutralize most of the hostile threat entities in the area and set up containment operations around RPC-509 afterward. All resources used by the 33rd Special Operations in the containment efforts of RPC-XXX were then transferred over to the Authority to keep the anomaly from further reaching out.
June 30th, 2009, was marked as one of the largest containment breach incidences by RPC-509-1 instances. The incident led to a high number of ASF Unit-120-B casualties, and a request for an MST unit was made by the site director to stop the entities from reaching outside the town. Mobilization of heavy armor elements such as Tanks, Infantry-Fighting-Vehicles, and Attack Helicopters was made to dispatch an approximation of ████████ RPC-509-1 entities. After three weeks of combating the entities, with the total being killed being at around ███████ RPC-509 began to show signs of bizarre and unusual activity. Although all RPC-509-1 entities were neutralized by a combination of both ASF Unit-120-B and MST Tango-99 "Vanguard Bombers" to eliminate all entities and meticulous decontamination of the area.
During the start of the incident, RPC-509 itself began to take on numerous peculiar and unusual behaviors at the time, including loud moaning and screaming sounds coming from inside the building. Nine minutes after these noises stopped, 500 RPC-509-1 instances manifested throughout the containment zone. This incident was marked as the anomaly’s upgrade from a from Beta-Red to a Gamma-Red due to the resulting heavy casualties and several RPC-509-1 instances almost breaching the containment zone before being terminated by incendiary land-mines.
At the time of the containment breach incident, un-categorized RPC-509-1 entities were manifested and brought significant difficulty in containing the anomaly. As the containment effort attempts began to fail and ASF Unit-120-B began to take massive casualties; MST Tango-99 was requested to contain the situation. The use of heavy armored battle tanks and artillery proved potent enough to drive back the anomalies.
As the containment breach incident continued to deteriorate, RPC-509 would develop manifestations of human faces across its entire surface volume. Whenever personnel made visual contact with one of the faces, personnel would begin to develop cannibalistic proclivities as well as increased aggression towards anyone around them. Affected personnel are still left quarantined at Site-██ for treatment, but no success has been made. The second manifestation was when a large amount of an organic sludge burst from the walls and windows of RPC-509. The sludge proved to be incredibly caustic and caused an outbreak in self-mutilation among the ranks of ASF Unit-120-B and MST Tango-99 due to their close proximity to the sludge. An airstrike deploying high yield thermobaric bombs was able to stop it from spreading even further, but ASF Unit-120-B and MST Tango-99 suffered high casualties as a result.
The containment breach was stopped by a voluminous mobilization of heavy armored Tanks, which proved significant enough to terminate even the largest RPC-509-1 instance. The saturated bombing of RPC-509 was made, but the structure did not sustain any major structural damage. A plan to drop a high yield nuclear device upon RPC-509-1 was in the making, but the destruction and damage done to the surrounding area would be deemed unacceptable and misuse of Authority resources. Therefore, an active request for more specialized weapons in dealing with RPC-509-1 instances, ASF personnel for reinforcements, and a neutralization order have been made by the acting commander of ASF Unit-120-B.
The following document indexes all of the encountered strains of RPC-509-1. This table will document all documented vulnerabilities, strengths, and certain anomalous abilities possessed by RPC-509-1 types for Authority combat units to exploit whenever encountered by them. All of the abilities possessed by instances include superhuman strength, regeneration from 50% of destroyed biological matter, and some form of emotional manipulation abilities yet to be properly understood.
RPC-509-1 Variants |
|
Description |
|
Effective Weaponry |
RPC-509-1A |
|
RPC-509-1A measures at around 2.25 meters in height with the average weight at 400lbs despite its considerable malnourished appearance. The listed variation has green skin, wears an uncharacteristically pristine butcher apron that will never receive any form of inert physical matter or fluid stain it. These entities seem to commonly walk around wearing a large white square-shaped hood that has a mouth slit which reveals a mouth three times wider than any normal human. Common weaponry wielded by RPC-509-1A includes a fire axe, a butcher's cleaver, a machete, and a hand-saw on some occasions. Some personnel have made mention of screams following the entity. |
|
Primary ammunition to be used in the termination of RPC-509-1A instances is the use of 7.62x51mm,12g Dragons Breath, 5.56x45mm NATO rounds with incendiary charge. Any personnel equipped with an incendiary device must douse the corpse in flames if left outside of RPC-509. |
RPC-509-1B |
|
Rarely encountered in groups. RPC-509-1B stands at around 1.95 meters in height, weighs in at approximately 459 kilograms has a roughly female body shape that is corpulent in shape with long greasy yellow hair obscuring much of its face. The skin of RPC-509-1B shows signs of being infected by some form of leprosy as indicated by the discolored green patches around its body and exposed tissue showing bone, muscle, and sinew. Although RPC-509-1B instances show a greater degree of strength(500 kg/cm^2 vs 300 kg/cm^2) than RPC-509-1A instances, it's power does not rely solely on its pure physical mass. Five self-regenerating worm-like entities measuring 12 centimeters in length reside within the exposed stomach cavity of RPC-509-1B. These worm entities or RPC-XXX-1B-A, will be tossed by RPC-XXX-1B and will slither their way towards any human individual. Once bitten, the affected individual will begin to view the variation as its matriarchal figure and proceed to walk towards it before being devoured entirely by any instance of RPC-509-1B. |
|
All ammunition to be used against RPC-XXX-1B instances should range from .50 BMG to 13.2mm TuF with standard incendiary charges. Personnel infected by RPC-XXX-1B-A are to be transferred to the medical wing for infection removal and are to be given Class G amnestics. |
RPC-509-1C |
|
Unlike most of the other variations. RPC-509-1C does deviate from the standard humanoid body slightly. Height wise, the entity is 3.00 meters tall, weighs 500 lbs of mostly muscle and fat, and shows a significant degree of intelligence in comparison to other entities of its kind. Visually, RPC-509-1C seems to have the head of a rotting pig's head on a muscular gray skinned body wearing ripped leather pants. The skull and the brain is exposed, coupled with an exposed heart in their torso. The most recent reports have gathered that RPC-509-1C entities have a taste for fetal tissue and will go out of their way to devour infants. In terms of regenerative abilities, they are by far, carry the most potent, as they can fully regrow lost limbs and it seems there is some correlation with the amount of fetal tissue and how fast they are able to regenerate. Its other ability however, is its psychometric ability, being able to ascertain everything about any individual they encounter. In terms of weaponry, RPC-509-1C carries around mostly chainsaws, sledgehammers, machetes, axes, and from documented ASF and MST accounts; a large oversized black sword on one occasion. |
|
Use of incendiary 14x115mm incendiary and explosive ammunition, 25x59mm and 40x53mm rounds, are acceptable ammunition when dealing with an instance of RPC-509-1C. Personnel are advised to follow standard incineration protocols as well as incinerating the local soil to prevent contamination. |
RPC-509-1D |
|
Acting as some form of "cannon-fodder" for the rest of the other entities. RPC-509-1D entities are the disposed corpses of male and female children that have been "reanimated" in some fashion. Although autopsies have shown that the entities do not even have possess a functioning heart, brain, or even proper circulation of blood. RPC-509-1D instances have been heavily physically altered, their skin is now much more mottled and takes on numerous developing boils, developing some form of massive boils and tumorous growths on their faces. Their tactical purpose is to seemingly take up ammunition, seeing how relatively easy they are to take down, but their more anomalous property is from, what combat personnel describes, appearing as relatively normal children. |
|
Due to the relative easiness of dispatching RPC-509-1D's. All forms of ballistic ammunition is appropriate when dealing with instances of RPC-509-1D due to their weak regenerative abilities. However, it is advised that area of effect weapons such as grenade launchers and to follow standard incineration procedures. |
RPC-509-1E |
|
Only encountered very rarely and the most numerous being the massive containment breach attempt. RPC-509-1E is a quadrupedal entity measuring at around 20 meters in length and 10 meters in height with bilateral symmetry. The entity's head is somewhat reminiscent of a shriveled under-developed fetus with stitched shut eyes. It has no visible skin and all muscle and bone structures are completely visible, but this is offset by its incredible anomalous resistance to small arms and light anti-tank weaponry. The subject expectorates bile from its abdomen when in contact with any surface, and combusts with a force equivalent to 1.15 tons of TNT. Its limbs are bent ninety degrees and its head is twisted facing upwards at all times, yet somehow the entity is still able to perceive anything not within its line of sight. On certain occasions, however, RPC-509-1E instances will let out a deadly sonic cry capable of reaching at 189 decibels. |
|
The incredible thickness of RPC-509-1E instances skin, muscle, and bone tissue requires higher caliber rounds available only to Infantry Fighting Vehicles. As of any encounter with RPC-509-1E creatures, the deployment of highly explosive air-burst grenades, incendiary 20x102mm rounds from autocannon emplacements and portable variants, along with any available anti-tank missile. |
RPC-509-1F |
|
An entity only encountered by an armed expedition team in January of 2014. RPC-509-1F instances are humanoid with a height of 4.50 meters, appear to have no discernible facial features aside from blood trailing down from underneath the helmet. When sufficient damage is done by a significant number of high caliber rounds, seven tentacles made of a membrane-like material will grow from the back of RPC-509-1F's head. Once this stage is reached, two biological prehensile whips will burst from the wrists of RPC-509-1F. These whips are capable of reaching an excess of 90 km/hr and can easily slice through most conventional body armor. It has also been noticed that the whips have a form of acid that is capable of causing significant necrosis in any biological material it touches. |
|
Anti-material rifles loaded with incendiary rounds are primarily effective for inhibiting the flight of RPC-509-1F instances, as the wings have proven themselves to be immune to low caliber rounds. If the wings are destroyed, then RPC-509-1F will enter a rage state and ignore any form of physical damage it takes. Sustained high caliber fire has been able to terminate RPC-509-1F instances, but it requires the use of incendiary or explosive rounds to negate its regenerative abilities. |
Addendum:
During an authorized expedition into the main slaughterhouse on June 14th, 2013. An ASF team discovered the remains of several members of the 33rd Special Operations. There was one survivor who was brought in for interrogation for a brief moment before the individual detonated a fragmentation grenade, killing both him and four Authority personnel in a suicide caused by delirium. It is unknown how the 33rd Special Operations were able to make a presence within RPC-509 as they were able to create a small encampment from information recovered inside of the camp as they took significant losses during their long skirmish with RPC-509-1 entities. Their purpose was to explore and possibly research the extra-dimensional and biological pathogens inside of RPC-509, but all personnel would be dragged by RPC-509-1C entities into various tunnels created by RPC-509. Survivors who were caught by RPC-XXX-1C instances would be terminated and vivisected by RPC-509-1C entities. Ten days later, a high-frequency distress signal measuring at around 100 kilohertz was intercepted. It is unknown where the signal came from, but it has been postulated that the signal came somewhere at a depth of 60 miles beneath RPC-509.
