Registered Phenomena Code:

Object Class: Gamma-Purple

Hazards: grouped, sapient, sentient, bio-hazard, extreme temperature, emotional, mind-control, microscopic, organic

Containment protocol: Pressure must be placed on public municipal councils where necessary to raise/maintain budgetary investitures and allocations for:

  1. The purpose of pest control and extermination particularly in urban settings notorious for a combination of notable obesity rates and rodent populations,
  2. Investiture into fire-proofing infrastructure and firefighting services,
  3. Investiture into public fire safety awareness as well as community cleanliness, garbage disposal and recycling drives.

Health and fitness programmes should be promoted within the Authority (and to a lesser extent, the public) to ensure that personnel are below a maximum BMI of 27.5.

Any unusual reports of bubonic plague infections within local health registers, or signs of RPC-? infections within the civilian populace (in the form of either/both RPC-?-1 carriers, RPC-?-2 hosts) warrants an escalation of ?-Green to ?-Yellow and the tracking of RPC-?-1 movements towards RPC-?-2, where further action is determined by the stage of infection/infestation within RPC-?-2 (See below for guidelines regarding further escalations). Personnel found to be hosting RPC-? are to be treated with a mixture of standard antibiotic therapy for Y.Pestis infections, followed by (dependent upon BMI) either enforced fitness exercising, or forced surgical excision/liposuction to reduce said personnel's BMI below 25.0 and fully guarantee RPC-? eradication.

Sudden promotions within the local area regarding "Body positivity" or "Feeder" movements that coincide with unnatural surges in rodent activity must be investigated for signs of active influence by agents of the hostile GoI "Church of Malthus", particularly youth members of the "Germ Squad" subdivision. Individuals caught actively feeding an RPC-?-2 despite visible signs of infestation must be immediately assumed as Malthusians agents actively preparing a ?-Red event, and should be neutralized ASAP with equal priority towards either termination or live capture.

Site-279 houses a fixed population of RPC-?-1s hosting live cultures of RPC-?. This RPC-?-1 population consists of a docile and non-biting subspecies of Rattus norvegicus domestica, is kept secured within an escape-proofed laboratory, and are all microchipped to ensure their location can be tracked at all times. Personnel with a BMI of >28.0 are not allowed within this laboratory. Site-279 also retains a resident CSD-class personnel converted into an RPC-?-2, situated in a cell block separated from the laboratory housing the RPC-?-1s. No contact experimentation is permitted between the RPC-?-2 and the RPC-?-1s.

To maintain the laboratory RPC-?-1s' anomalous properties, they are fed a mixture of conventional rodent feed supplemented with rehydrated human lipid cubes harvested from the CSD-class RPC-?-2. Dieticians and physicians monitor the status of the CSD-class RPC-?-2, supplementing its calorie-rich diet with appetite suppressants to alleviate the polyphagia induced by RPC-? infection, and analgesics to alleviate pain from pyrexia and lipid extraction surgeries. No attempt should be made to cure the CSD-class of RPC-? infection, unless deemed with satisfactory justification by authorizing Drs. ? and ?. All harvested lipid content must be packaged, handled and stored as biohazardous material due to its high bacterial load of RPC-?.

Should the CSD-class RPC-?-2 expire, the corpse should be fully harvested of lipid content for freeze-drying storage before being incinerated under bio-hazardous cremation guidelines. Another CSD-class is then nominated to become the next RPC-?-2.

Description: RPC-? is an anomalous strain of the zoonotic bacterium Yersina Pestis2, featuring numerous modifications and significant deviations from its originator species. It is a creation of the hostile GoI "The Church of Malthus", particularly the "Germ Squad" subdivision. Judging by its anomalous effect, the intention behind its design appears to be as a weapon of mass property destruction first, with high fatalities a close second.

Unlike typical Y. Pestis, RPC-? is capable of direct transmission between both human and rat hosts without requiring a parasitic intermediary; this traditionally being Xenopsylla cheopis, the Oriental rat flea.

Rodent carriers of RPC-? are designated RPC-?-1. Humans infected with RPC-? while possessing a BMI of over 30kg/m2 (categorized as 'Morbid obesity') are designated RPC-?-2. Humans insufficiently high in BMI who are infected with RPC-? instead presents symptoms of a non-anomalous and notably mild case of bubonic plague.

While both non-anomalous and anomalous infections can be treated with conventional antibiotics as per standard cases of bubonic plague, RPC-?-2s instead become unlikely and unwilling to seek treatment, becoming a host for RPC-?-1s in the following stages of progression:

Life cycle of RPC-?


Protocol vs RPC-? entities

Discovery:

1) Major fire burns across New York setting. Notable reports were that of "fiery rats" that were spreading the flames, at the time seen as a consequence of rodent infestation caught in the path of the flames. No action is taken.

2) Another major fire starts up. Authority's attention is piqued when a rat was caught by a pest control specialist a fair distance from this fire, is noted to be especially 'greasy', then escaped trap by bursting into flames and melting it open. Video is spun as a display of animal cruelty (involving alcohol dousing footage being manipulated into it). Corpse is retrieved, dissection reveals unusual signs of both interior and exterior physiological changes and residual remains of flammable organic compounds. Investigations formally begin.

3) Investigation of rats leads to discovery of RPC-?. Due to its extremely novel/unique appearance and properties, it is immediately assumed to be biologically manipulated by humans, with the Church of Malthus naturally being the first suspect. Rats termed RPC-?-1.

4) Rats tagged, leading investigators into first encounter with an obese human host, hereby termed RPC-?-2:

4.1) Interview log starts with investigators logging their position/status, then entering household. They remark how incredibly infested it is. One investigator notes how there's so much rotting stale food strewn about the place. He notes that all the food packaging are not opened by hand, but rather chewed through by teeth (package wrapper i.e. zigzag cutting across plastic package). Tiny teeth. He asks if someone was supposed to be living in here and another investigator produces a census of a morbidly obese resident. The motorized scooter is parked outside the bedroom and looks unused.

4.2) The investigators bang on the door. The resident yells at them to go away and leave him/her alone. They ask about the mess and how the resident goes about if the scooter is unused, and is told it is none of their business. They ask where the resident's caretaker went. The resident replies that the caretaker is fired because his/her services are no longer needed. The investigators become extremely suspicious, draw their guns and storm the room…

4.3) …Straight into the belly of the beast. The camera recording shows how the resident is now this disgusting melted blob spread entirely across the bed, numerous holes in the body and rats swarming all over him/her. Recording picks up disgust/retching/vomiting from investigators both by the sight and by the powerfully nauseating stench.

4.4) "Now you've done it! You've upset us all!" The obese filth reacts, as the "little friends" combust together, starting a fire. RPC-?-2 terminated in fire. Fire services called, but rats escape everywhere and light the entire apartment complex and surrounding ones on fire.

5) Based on census/fire scene investigation, investigators find out that epicenter of previous two fires was also the home of extremely obese residents. A trend (with the help of some unwitting CSD-class) is quickly determined that RPC-?'s anomalous properties correlates with the morbidly obesity levels of the host.

6) Investigators find Malthusian movements around the next morbidly obese host and her funnel-feeding boyfriend. Running a background of the duo reveals a newspaper article interview was published a week earlier.

7) A MST is scrambled, detains the feeder boyfriend outside the house (trying to peek into a blacked-out window which is the bedroom the girlfriend is in) and invades the place, blindsiding Germ Squaddies in the middle feeding the fat woman who's already quadrupled in size with rats beginning to nest in her body. Germ Squaddies gunned down, dwelling sealed up as fast as possible to minimize RPC-?-1 escapes. Girlfriend attempts to resist being detained, but due to disgusting levels of bulk can no longer get up to be taken away, let alone walk through doors. Proposals to saw walls open to widen door (alternatively, break the ceiling open to get a crane to lift the blob and the bed out) is abandoned in favor of turning the bedroom into a makeshift surgical theater. Woman has a heart attack and dies from the idea of losing weight and all the effort to "bulk". Almost all rats across the entire household captured after fumigating the house in CO2 followed by a complete sweep (and teardown of walls); all test positive for RPC-?. Rats destroyed via incineration.

8) Boyfriend is interviewed regarding his and his GF's feeder fetishism, and how he said he was overjoyed at first that "fans" initially showed up with extra food to feed her. Then he notes how the rat population suddenly surged soon after he was kicked out of the room and no longer able to do the feeding to her, with the "fans" completely taking over. After voicing a desire to find another woman to fatten up (much to the interviewer's barely-contained disgust) he is forcibly detained, thoroughly amnescitized of several years of memories in an attempt to purge him of this fetish (done so in light that the CoM might be observing him to exploit it whenever he finds another victim to manipulate into fattening up), then released.

We starve, they feast.

We shrivel, they swell.

We fight for scraps of bread and wither and starve, while these fat fucks live like kings on their disability checks! Disabled because of what, too lazy to move and exercise like any other sane human being?! "Big-boned"? "Genetics"? How the FUCK is a fridge stuffed to the brim with pizza and soft drinks and getting emptied by the end of the day "genetics"!?

We have to kill to eat to live, while these swollen obese parasites eat and eat and eat and eat and eat! They eat as food is ferried to their doorsteps, allowed to continue living on fast food and diet sodas and chips and crisps and pizzas and more! What next, the fucking deliveryman comes into their room with the toilet plunger to ram the shit down their throats because they got too lazy to swallow!?

We of the Germ Squad are the rats, the vermin, the cast-down detritus of a civilization who never cared about us!

And the day has come for the rats to come home, and feast!

…Sayyyy, you look kinda cute. Wanna be best buds?

We're-we're not gonna do this, boss! The Spencers treat us right, we-we just never gave 'em a chance to help us!

They're not even morbidly obese, they're just a bit overweight, that's all, an' it comes with the territory of being chefs! You're gonna kill good people too, Esbeth!

Esbeth: Is that so?

Disease based on bubonic plague. Targets morbidly obese fatties (hamplanets and so on). Causes lymph nodes to swell to gigantic sizes, concealed by conventional fat bulges. Fatties begin emitting pheremones making them extremely irresistible to rats. Rats chew holes into fatasses and turns them into rat nests, fatties become mentally manipulated into thinking they're absolutely fine and find the rats "endearing" (Toxoplasma component?).

Rats will gradually become filled with flammable fatty material (disease converts lipid tissue of human host to have much more flammable oils) (basically natural NAPALM) while feasting and breeding within the fatty. Eventually critical mass occurs when rats reach a boiling point and begin combusting, are compelled to flee everywhere as fast as possible, spreading the flames everywhere. Gigantic fires erupt everywhere.

Dissection notes:
-napalm is a mixture of a gelling agent (responsible for the "stickiness") and a petrochemical (which causes the fire). Ergo, the rats need to synthesize a two-component mixture to simulate organic napalm - a sticky type of collagen and enhanced internal fermentation to generate increased quantities of natural alcoholic compounds will do this.
-the rats need to last in order to do real damage - their bodies need to be reinforced and made flame-retardent so they can run and flee for quite a while before finally burning to death. In addition, to continue sustaining the flames in low-oxygen environments they must have enhanced oxygen retention and a more sustainable respiratory system. The skin and fur base is flame-retardent, while at the same time coated over in oily flammable goo, acting both as fire vest AND candle wick at the same time.
-finally, the spark that lights the fire. It's of course going to be a metabolic process, and should involve a positive-feedback loop within the body in response to stress or a certain other trigger that causes the body to accelerate metabolism and generate high amounts of heat, which if high enough leads to a combusting reaction that kicks off the mayhem.

By the way, Auth-pigs. You liked that adage "kill it with fire" for our previous creation, eh? Have fun fighting fire with fire.

You made a huge deal about us all starving to death because society forgot we exist or whatever, but here we are with all this food and you're instead making us stuff it all down these fatasses instead of eating it ourselves!

A point has to be made. These disgusting blobs and the fires they will light are the crux of our message.

You don't actually care about improving our lot, do you? You're a fucking monster who's broken in the head. You just want everyone and everything to be as miserable as you are!

Is that a challenge, Dea? Because I'm pretty sure I can be WORSE.
