Containment Protocols: RPC-XXX is contained within a specially designed 20ft3 containment cube at Site-██. The cube is constructed with a layer of titanium, concrete, and an additional layer of steel for enhanced structural integrity.
The containment chamber is to be regularly inspected for any signs of any structural compromise. Any issues or damages in the containment structure are to be immediately reported to Containment personnel for repairs.
The containment chamber is designed with a maze-like layout consisting of 3 false exits and 5 interconnected corridors. In order to confuse and impede RPC-XXX's movement in the event of a breach. All corridors within the chamber are to be equipped with surveillance cameras. The entrance of the cell should be welded shut at all times, but can be removed should the need for recontainment arise. The entrance to the containment chamber is disguised as a concrete slab located at the south-east corner of the cell. This disguised entrance should be inspected regularly to ensure its concealment remains intact.
Multiple replicas of RPC-XXX's containment cube are on standby for use during repair or recontainment. Personnel are to follow recontainment protocols during transfer of RPC-XXX between cells. In the event of a breach, RPC-XXX is to be re-contained as follows:
One side of the replica containment cube should remain unattached from the main structure by default. This side is to be securely welded shut after RPC-XXX has been successfully re-contained. Personnel are to utilize high-frequency audio to coerce RPC-XXX back towards the cube's entrance. All personnel must be equipped with full PPE to prevent contact with the anomaly.

Description: RPC-XXX resembles a visible aerosol suspended in a spherical shape 16 meters in diameter when at rest, comprised of water droplets. While typically stationary, RPC-XXX manipulates air currents around itself to change positions, usually when in pursuit of a target, recorded at up to 64 kilometers per hour. RPC-XXX engages in this predatory behavior should it detect a living thing.
How RPC-XXX perceives is unknown, although it usually is only capable of sensing movement in close proximity to its suspended particles1, or within line of sight.
RPC-XXX's behavior alternates from a slow, consistent hunt reminiscent of pursuit predators, or a rapid burst at its full speed akin to an ambush predator in nature.
Failure to capture a target with these bursts of speed in a short period of time, typically 3-5 minutes, results in more violent behavior from the anomaly, using its manipulation of air currents to destroy and launch objects around it. If given enough time, it can break through the majority of material kinds.2
Even when its activation requirements are satisfied, RPC-XXX will occasionally become dormant after a chase concludes. These periods of dormancy can range from minutes to months, with the longest known inactive period being three months. On rare occasions, RPC-XXX will employ adjacent objects to aid in its chase.
As soon as a victim's skin makes physical contact with RPC-XXX's mist, they are immediately pulled into it, leaving behind any clothing and possessions they had on them. While it is unknown what happens to those within RPC-XXX directly, it is believed that victims are disintegrated [See Addendum.XXX.01]. Individuals that have been taken by RPC-XXX are designated RPC-XXX-1.
The speed of which RPC-XXX-1 is consumed at depends on how many individuals RPC-XXX had consumed at the time, and whether RPC-XXX is in an active state.
Audio Logs
Recorded Audio of RPC-XXX in its inactive state, dubbed "The Idle State". Audio is quite loud, listen with caution.
Recorded Audio of RPC-XXX becoming active mid recording at the 18 second mark, the location of what caused its activation is unknown. RPC-XXX commenced to violently strike its containment cube. The cube sustained some damage, although not much. This sudden enraged state lasted a full minute before RPC-XXX calmed down.

Discovery:
RPC-XXX came to the attention of the Authority following a series of unusual weather events, culminating in a significant incident on March 2nd, 2013. Reports document the manifestation of an EF3 tornado in Missouri. What set this tornado apart from typical meteorological phenomena was the presence of disturbing auditory phenomena.
Beginning at 3:42 pm local time, the tornado displayed an unusual and ominous characteristic—whispers and anguished screams could be distinctly heard when one was within approximately 60 meters of the tornado's path.
During the second hour of the tornado's existence, at approximately 4:42 pm. An instance of RPC-XXX-1, displaying intense distress and erratic behavior, was observed attempting to escape the tornado's grasp. The entity thrashed and flailed violently in an attempt to break free from the tornado's influence.
For approximately one minute, the instance of RPC-XXX-1's struggle against the tornado was visible. Then, in a sudden occurrence, RPC-XXX-1 was seemingly reabsorbed by the tornado, vanishing without a trace.
This peculiar incident led to further investigation and containment efforts by the Authority, resulting in the establishment of containment protocols for RPC-XXX as detailed above.
