Containment Protocols: RPC-XXXX-CA278 is currently contained in an Anomalous Humanoid Containment Cell indefinitely. RPC-XXXX-CA278 is not to be released pending further investigation. If an instance of RPC-XXXX is discovered or identified, nonlethal neutralization is preferred for further testing but lethal measrures are authorized.
Description: RPC-XXXX is a collective consciousness spanning across multiple human beings identifying himself as John Smith. RPC-XXXX manifests when a human being of the same name comes into existence - their name must be legally recorded whether by birth document or name change document and they must have lived with the name for the majority of their life. It is unknown by what means RPC-XXXX occupies a human being's mind.
Instances of RPC-XXXX are identified using a 5-digit hexadecimal code.
Addendum: [Optional additional paragraphs]
« RPC-PREVIOUS RPC | RPC-XXXX | RPC-NEXT RPC »
Numerical Code: Papa-1
Codename: Berserkers
Motto: "Ad Infinitum" (Forevermore.)
Garrison/HQ: [REDACTED]
Roles: Stronghold assault, siege, CQC training, location clearing.
Established: 22^^nd^ of January, 1107
Description: A specialized division of Authority personnel dedicated to the acquisition of Beta or higher class anomalies. Training in siege tactics, counter-intelligence, CQC, breach & clear tactics, explosives and specialized gear are mandatory upon joining the Berserker division.
Berserkers are notorious for breaking Authority military code and storming any anomalous object given to them as their task. They are especially renowned for their ability to tear down walls and even buildings in a snatch-and-grab style, whilst their skill with short-range weapons and explosive traps have allowed them to eliminate anomalies based in or consisting of buildings if not containing them successfully.
Initially formed as a testbed for certain technologies, Berserkers now act as the elite of the ordinary - if someone transfers in, they are considered one of the brightest, toughest and deadliest of the Authority forces. Although not equal to Alpha 1 in terms of singular lethality, they make up for it in terms of sheer force when in numbers and illegal amounts of explosives.

Completed Operations
Mission Name:Operation RES Extraction codenamed 'Operation Caledfwlch'
Status: Success
Date: July 21st 1951
Description: First field test of Papa-1 'Berserkers'.
Berserkers were instructed to infiltrate perceived Russian bunkers in the Western regions of Canada in an attempt to collect and contain anomalous objects. After approximately 7 minutes of arguing, Papa-1 proceeded to launch the full stock of unguided rocket launchers at known locations through multiple viewports in an attempt to burn out any and all Russian forces.
After 15 minutes and multiple frag grenades 'to put out the fires', Papa-01 breached using Compound 4 plastic explosives shaped in the depiction of then-President Harry Truman and proceeded to clear all levels of the bunker. Approximately 95% of the Russian forces were killed in the initial strike, and the remainder were struck unconscious through unknown means. Testimonies and evidence suggests a combination of rifle butt strikes, knife handle strikes and punches to vital areas and the head.
██ anomalous objects were retrieved and contained at various sites. 1 object was damaged, with majority forces stating 'they had nothing to do with it' and soldier Terry Freeman stating 'look, it moved and I panicked, OK? Don't judge me."

Further Info
Papa-1 has no official ranking list. Instead, an internal organization structure exists for the operational forces. Interference with operational training in any way for the Berserkers will result in withdrawal from Berserker facilities and transferral to another Site.
| Name | Equivalent Rank | Description | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blunt-Ax | Transferring soldier | Removed from standard activities to be transferred to another unit. Can be for numerous reasons, but typically Hand-Axs are demoted to here. | N/A |
| Hand-Ax | Private | Effectively rank-and-file forces. Trained in spartan-like conditions in order to reach similar level of competence as other forces. Must trick and steal food daily - failure to succeed for cumulative 3 days results in demotion to Blunt Ax and transferral to another unit. | None. |
| Ax | Corporal | Considered physically fit enough to lead the Hand-Axs in the assaults. Typically taught tactics and strategy, as well as specialized knowledge on certain enemy forces. | Standard bunk and food, gym availability. |
| Dual Ax | Staff Sergeant | Trained physically and mentally above most other soldiers - higher intelligence and physical prowess allows them to assert dominance over the Top Men without major fear. Coordinates a squad of 2 Axes and multiple Hand-Axes. | Standard bunk and food, gym availability, armoury priority |
| Ax Master | Master Sergeant | Best of the best - higher physical health, mental capacity and quicker thinking than the lower ranks. Typically inserted as elite forces whereas Dual Ax and lower are inserted as standard. High aptitude for setting traps and taking down the majority of Beta instances faced. | Priority bunk, food and gym; armoury priority; explosives access |
| Heavy Ax | Major | Shows aptitude for leading Ax Masters - typically pointman on elite squads. Well regarded for detonating explosives danger close if it saves Authority force lives. | Priority bunk, food and gym; armoury and explosives priority |
| Heavy Master | Colonel | Effectively coordinates all lower ranks in sieges and skirmishes. Assigns squads & ranks, manages squad roles and objectives. Only inserts when full elite forces and no standard forces are necessary. | Priority bunk, cleaning, food and gym; armoury and explosives priority |
| Steel Lord | Quartermaster | Handles acquisition and maintenance of weapons. Typically employs Axs and Dual Axs to perform duties for them (with prefix Steel denoting such forces - e.g. Steel Ax, Steel Dual Ax). Coordinates with Heavy Master and Gold Master in order to handle weapon training and purchases. | Priority bunk, food and gym; armoury and explosives priority |
| Gold Lord | Logistics | Handles finances and explosives, amongst other resources such as food and jobs such as security. Typically replaced every couple of months. Employs Dual Axs to act as security for food to prevent Axs stealing it (limited to around 4 Axs a month) and for other resources (no limit) to prevent personal use (with prefix Gold denoting such forces - e.g. Gold Ax). | Priority bunk, food and gym; armoury and explosives priority |
| Giant Lord | Drill Instructor | Handles training of Hand-Axs, Axs and Dual-Axs where needed. Pushes lower ranks through strict training regimens weekly and acts as health consultant and trainer for the higher ranks and elite forces. | Priority bunk, food and gym; armoury and explosives priority |

RPC-XXXX's outer facing design, in comparison to a €2 coin.
Item #: RPC-XXXX
Object Class: Alpha-Yellow
Containment Protocols: RPC-XXX is to be contained within a standard containment locker secured by a card-scanning lock mechanism accessible only with Level 3 or higher clearance. All removals and returns of RPC-XXXX is to be documented using Form XXXX-Requisition, pages 2 to 4 for removal and reason as to why and pages 5 to 7 for returning and documentation of the use and its results. The full Form should be retained within the left neighbouring containment locker.
In the event RPC-XXXX is removed from Authority custody (excluding testing performed by Class D personnel) for more than 5 minutes, elimination of the current holder(s) and retrieval of RPC-XXXX must be prioritized. Tactics for retrieval may vary, but at most up to nuclear armaments may be authorized if any & all other options have failed and are exhausted due to the nature of RPC-XXXX's anomalous effect. Appropriate cover stories will be created to prevent civilian panic and potential government investigations will be reacted to appropriately.
Description: RPC-XXXX is a crudely crafted wooden mask, depicting the skull of a Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla). The external face of the mask has a smooth texture and was previously preserved using unknown methods. The internal face is worn in texture. It has an extensive etching covering the entirety of the inside. Analysis has concluded these etchings were made with simple tools but at a consistent depth of 2.1mm. For unknown reasons, the mask is capable of retaining its position upon a person's face without a strap or other methods (magnetism, suction, vacuum, etc).
When witnessing any event through both eyeholes of RPC-XXXX, the viewer will see a typically positive the initial future outcome of the viewed event. When the viewer ceases vision through RPC-XXXX, the event will be the ensuing outcome a negative future outcome of the event that will subvert the expectation of the viewer, i.e. if the viewer believes that a room is safe from a threat, the initial future outcome will be that of the threat retreating or help arriving whilst the negative outcome would be that the room will become unsafe or infeasible to maintain the safety of. There is a predicted limit of around 1 minute currently no known limit on when RPC-XXXX will affect the outcome, with the highest recorded being 13 minutes approximately.
Users of RPC-XXXX can affect what is changed by focusing on the event in question, e.g. focusing on a football midfielder moving across a field will cause RPC-XXXX to make it the target of it's anomalous effects for all intents and purposes.
Testing has suggested any negative outcome will occur within reason - viewing a cup of coffee on a table with RPC-XXXX will not result in nuclear war or multiple containment breaches, but instead cause the coffee cup to be knocked off by another person or to simply crack and leak from heat damage. After the outcome of Incident XXXX-1, all personnel are reminded not to look at any critical or necessary Authority assets1 with RPC-XXXX. Anyone who fails to operate RPC-XXXX within the bounds of this part of Containment Protocol will have their clearance revoked.
RPC-XXXX cannot prevent the alteration of the outcome of an event, i.e. if an event is predetermined to occur regardless of RPC-XXXX's anomalous property exerting itself, it will not be capable of changing the event - only showing the most positive outcome when wearing the mask - nor can it 'stack' multiple changes in predicting changing the future. Only one negative outcome can ever arise from using RPC-XXXX, which is whatever it initially viewed.
Finally, RPC-XXXX is immune to kinetic, thermal and explosive damage of all scales and varieties2. It is also posited that RPC-XXXX is potentially of enough sentience to force the outcomes of these attacks to fail via reality bending of some kind however attempts to establish communication with RPC-XXXX have failed, disproving this.
Addendum:
The mask was previously held and maintained by the Museo ████████ de ████████████, in Mexico. Multiple civilian reports of accidents happening within the vicinity of that exhibit originally gained no interest until [REDACTED], reducing the surrounding region to rubble in a 20m radius and unintentionally provoking a cartel war. MST Romero-7 "Suited Gentlemen" were dispatched to investigate the event and to detain/neutralize all involved parties within the local area after confirming the existence of an anomalous object or force.
The RPC's effects were unintentionally discovered when one of the local sicarios3 was gazing through RPC-XXXX at Romero-7, who proceeded to detain the other subjects present and killed the subject who had used RPC-XXXX when they attempted to open fire. A member of Romero-7 then investigated the anomalous item. One MST soldier viewed the captured subjects through RPC-XXXX before removing the item from his face and securing it. 17 seconds after this event, the subjects were blown up by an explosive thrown and detonated by other sicarios. Later interrogation prior to release revealed that the subjects were actually moving away from the location to escape until something seized them to move back and attack, 'as if possessed by a devil'.
Around 27 hostile subjects were disarmed and the majority of the museum staff were detained. Civilians were administered Class-A amnestics before being released. The subjects were released to police forces then later transferred into Death Row for multiple prior crimes. 57 hostiles and 3 civilians were killed in the crossfire. Identity cover used was of the Policía Federal4 in order to enforce a strict no-entry rule until the area was deemed safe for civilian perusal and reconstruction.
Request for reclassification to Beta-Yellow has been declined. Unless someone uses it, it isn't a threat. Keep it in storage.// - [REDACTED]
Request for testing has been granted, under extremely controlled conditions. Not so much as an atom should be unobserved and under control. After what happened at the museum I doubt any of the personnel would want to be killed like that, never mind the local damage. - [REDACTED]
ALL EXPERIMENT LOGS HAVE BEEN ARCHIVED LOCALLY AT SITE-██, PLEASE CONTACT [REDACTED] FOR DETAILS.
ADDENDUM: ALL EXPERIMENT LOGS ARE CURRENTLY BEING BROUGHT OUT OF ARCHIVES TO FACILITATE SAFETY PROTOCOLS FOR FUTURE USAGE. ACCESS LINK PROVIDED.
During an undocumented test of RPC-XXXX, the D-Class personnel operating RPC-XXXX looked at the wall of the room he was contained in then removed the mask. The wall was summarily detonated by Authority engineers 13 minutes later and caused structural damage inciting 2 containment breaches of Beta-Class RPCs.
After this incident, video tape footage from both within the room and the corridor the engineers operated in concluded that RPC-XXXX's effects are indiscriminate and not necessarily immediate, and has confirmed it can include people within the region of the pertaining outcome, i.e. walls could be demolished by anyone with the correct equipment nearby if the wall is gazed at with RPC-XXXX so long as it is the worst possible outcome.
Testing will not be concluded following this incident. More stringent testing policies will be implemented instead.
Site-XX
Research & Intelligence Facility
Overview
Established: 10/11/200█
Front Cover: Offshore platform formerly owned by ███ plc
Location: ██0 nautical miles east of New Zealand
Codename: Lockbox
Hex-code: F03
Site Occupation: Containment, Personnel & Research
Total Area: 1.09km by 2.09km, to a depth of 102m (approximate volume of 232,366,200 m3)
Background Information: Site-XX is one of the Authority's few major Alpha and Theta long term containment locations, housing ██0,000 unique anomalous objects underneath the floor of the South Pacific Ocean. Underneath the offshore platform legs is 50m of lead, preventing x-rays, thermals or wireless signals form being picked up over long ranges.
Access to the Site is gained only via the 4 corner elevators, disguised as the structural supports of the derrick and, in an emergency or when transporting larger anomalous objects, an airlock topside of the underwater base 500 metres wide and long. The airlock can open partially if requested for smaller objects or vehicles. The oil derrick's gin pole has also been redesigned to accommodate items and passengers as an air-tight elevator, allowing for an overseas alternative entry point should an attack or breach occur requiring Authority intervention or if the former elevators are non-functioning.
No D-Class are kept onsite - instead, they are imported in from other Sites as and when needed. Necessary documents for such a transfer can be obtained via Site Director.
Offices & Wings Section
- The Site is organized within the four corners as Containment Wings - Region A and B are the NW and SW corners whilst C and D are the NE and SE corners, with each corner taking up approximately 54 km2. These Wings act as warehouse storage and containment locker rooms, with the depth allowing for 2 warehouse floors or 10 containment locker depots. A and C are designed as warehouses whilst B and D are containment locker depot floors.
- The lower floor in the center acts as the Personnel & First Aid Wing, capable of accomodating ███ thousand Authority Security personnel, ██ thousand Research personnel with room to spare for █ different MSTs of high headcounts.
- The higher floor in the center acts as the Research & Delivery Wing, comprised primarily of researchers offices and the primary delivery area. Researchers experimenting with anomalous items will find the lowest floors, neighbouring the Personnel and First Aid Wing, filled with 8942 chambers for safely testing said items.
- Accommodating all of the work necessary to keep the Site hidden and safe is the Engineering Wing, on the offshore platform. All storage of construction materials is handled using standard shipping containers and water-proof labels. Engineering have, to date: prevented █ different potential containment breaches by structural failure; installed, upgraded & maintained the tram system allowing for fast and numerous displacement of personnel and anomalous items on the top, middle and bottom-most floors of Site-XX; and constantly adapted multiple testing chambers and containment lockers for use.
- Allowing access to the underwater base's full size is the Transfer System, a massive system of conveyor belts, escalators, elevators and trams within the storage facilities allowing for quick movement of personnel and objects alike. Approximately 39% start off or end up at the delivery area, with 50% starting or ending at the Containment Wings.
Site Administration
PERSONNEL FILES FOR SITE-XX ARE LEVEL THREE CLASS B LOCAL ACCESS ONLY
Only Level 3 Class B personnel with access to or assigned to Site-XX are to be granted access to knowledge pertaining to the current personnel file of Site-XX.

Description: RPC-XXXX is what is commonly believed to be a spectral phenomena that manifests as two entities:
- RPC-XXXX-A, the victim of a prior incident with RPC-XXXX
- RPC-XXXX-B, the footprints of RPC-XXXX-B
When a subject spots an instance of RPC-XXXX-B, RPC-XXXX-B becomes visible to only that subject unless they lose interest for any reason. Subjects are typically drawn to instances of RPC-XXXX-B out of curiosity or concern - in the case of discovery, concern that there had been a security breach. Instances of RPC-XXXX-B can be both imprints in soft materials such as mud, lingering anomalous instances such as memory foam or dust outlines on hard surfaces such as concrete.
There will typically be at least one corner between the view of the subject and RPC-XXXX-A prior to RPC-XXXX-A's anomalous effect taking hold.

Containment Protocols: RPC-XXX is uncontainable due to its very nature forming the basis of humanity not only as a species, but as a culture. Instead, efforts should be maintained to eliminate analysis and introspection into the core definition of RPC-XXX to prevent attempts at introduction to, removal from or manipulation of any species exhibiting signs of RPC-XXX.
Co-operation with the Holy See of the Vatican City State is encouraged. Analysis of records or writings pertaining to RPC-XXX and the Bible, whether in a literary or psychological context, is to be discouraged - destruction of writings and employment of cognitohazards are mandatory responses to findings.
Description: RPC-XXX is understood to be the definition of the 'original sin' depicted in the Holy Bible, when Adam and Eve first bit the Apple of Eden - 'understanding'. 'Understanding' in the context of this article is to be interpreted as the equivalent to 'sentience'.
To provide a simple explanation of said anomaly of 'understanding', RPC researchers first must recognize the difference between it and 'recognition'. Recognition is the perception and retaining knowledge of an act or a response, i.e. "If I touch a hot flame, I will burn". Many species are capable of recognition - training is often provided to domestic animals to teach them to recognize different causes have different effects. Understanding then is the ability to link multiple recognitions together to explain the outcome, "The flame is hot due to an exothermic reaction, the heat of the flame is transferred via convection or conduction to my flesh, the flesh oxidizes rapidly in the presence of such a high temperature, etcetera". What makes such an anomaly notable is how a species is affected by it in the long term.
There are 2 known incidents of RPC-XXX exerting influence over humanity, with each having drastically unique effects:
- The Garden of Eden Incident
- The Biblical event where Eve was tempted to consume an Apple of Eden by a serpent, before then tempting Adam to do so as well - this was where the 'original sin' was introduced to humanity as a whole.
- The Newton's Law Incident
- The well-known event in 1665 where Isaac Newton is alleged to have questioned the laws of motion in response to the perception of an apple falling from a tree branch.
These events are notable both in how the events play out and how their aftereffects have changed humanity and their understanding of the known universe in comparison to other species, such as crocodiles, sharks and avian species.
The initial Garden of Eden Incident is notable for 2 things - namely that the Apple in question is ingested and that humanity from that point forward gains the ability to understand and, thus, gain the ability to analyse and introspect in response to basic stimuli. Vatican sources indicate this is likely the origin of the cardinal sins - pride in taking the first steps to surpassing God, greed in stealing from his Garden, lust in choosing to cover one's body and inhibit one's self from sexual release, envy from the forced removal of humanity from Eden, gluttony for the act of indulging in the consumption of God's fruits, wrath in humanity's rage against each other for betraying God's will and sloth for their continued inaction and fall from His grace since.
Although biblical stories should be taken with a pinch of salt, comparing what was written with what we know of the myth of Newton's understanding of the laws of motion and universal gravitation does give us some insight into RPC-XXX's scope of influence and power. Unlike the first incident, the most recent one saw only touch in some of the retellings and sight in others. Similarly, the stimulation of growth that came from this incident was minor - in comparison to humanity's growth from a simple primate to a being capable of the use of tools for reasons benign and otherwise, this event saw only the growth of understanding in a far smaller scale leading to the world's current stance on knowledge of the universe, the laws of physics and so on.
The key feature in both of these incidents is the Apple, hereby designated RPC-XXX-A. RPC-XXX's use of RPC-XXX-A to stimulate growth of intelligence and sentience in species is somewhat peculiar - experiments to use apples to replicate the effects of RPC-XXX-A, while denied due to 'the obvious ridiculousness of it', may provide key insights into whether RPC-XXX-A is a passive or active entity. So long as communication with RPC-XXX is impossible - at least, a two way conversation - RPC-XXX's motives or objectives remain unknown.

Abstract: RPC-XXX is currently unable to be securely contained. Known RPC-XXX incidents should be responded to quickly with amnestics and all recordings/dictations seized. If capable, conversation via known methods is acceptable in order to attempt to direct RPC-XXX to a known artist or genre for further research and containment.
Safe Handling and Usage: RPC-XXX is to be handled by a vis-a-vis case basis. Best policy is to administer amnestics to any observing civilian populace and evacuate, then have the subject of RPC-XXX's dictation continue and attempt to converse via duet. If RPC-XXX is reporting signs of distress or the subject appears to be reaching the end of their dictation, advise RPC-XXX to a new subject known to be either actively touring or recording at the time of interview. Administer amnestics to subject before handoff to trusted medical personnel as needed for observation and treatment then evacuate - ensure incident is properly recorded and passed onto [REDACTED] for any possible news leaking of RPC-XXX involvement post-incident.
