Primary Report:

Fig 1.0: RCP-413.

RCP-413 denotes a singular member of a hitherto undiscovered anomalous species of extra-dimensional origin, of which the majority of instances died upon transposition into our reality. RCP-413 is physiologically similar to Bathynomus giganteus (Giant isopod), though almost entirely alien in structure and bodily function. RCP-413's exoskeleton is of violet pigmentation, however its chest area is notably orange in color. Despite lacking vocal cords, RCP-413 is fully capable of speech in numerous languages, and its antennae seem to serve as a mental connection to other members of its species.

RCP-413's brain is located in its stomach cavity, and has an anomalous connection to every other anomalous entity related to RCP-413. Through that link, RCP-413 shares thoughts between every other member of its species; and talking to it is equivalent to speaking with every instance simultaneously- to a degree. Despite this anomalous link, RCP-413 itself can only hold so much information within its brain at any given time, and interviewers should take this into account if RCP-413 begins displaying symptoms of this.

---

Auxiliary Report:

RCP-413 is contained within an entity holding unit on the 86th floor of Site-397-42. Two onsite Protector-class anomalies are tasked with surveying RCP-413's unit for any extra-dimensional incursions, though no outwardly anomalous persons are to come into contact with RCP-413 in order to prevent accidental cross-pollination of potential anomalies. RCP-413 is provided with nutrient paste meals twice daily, though no furniture is present within the room aside from a steel table.

Within RCP-413's cell is a lesser anomalous gramophone, set to play 1900s-1920s music upon RCP-413's request. The reason for this request is unknown, however it has been deemed harmless enough to warrant compliance. Interviews with RCP-413 are conducted by research staff R. Levine, abbreviated to simply Levine in documentation. Physical testing of RCP-413 has not been conducted, as to avoid potentially angering the rest of its anomalous species.

Interviewed: RCP-413

Interviewer: Dr. Levine

Foreword: Interview transcribed by containment staff Jeffrey Kilroy. Notes have been added on discretionary basis.

<Begin Transcription>

<Levine enters containment cell, standing on the opposite side of table from RCP-413.>

Levine: My, supervisor told me you speak English?

RCP-413: Sí.

<Levine scrawls notes on a notepad.>

Levine: Displays, humor.

RCP-413: Correct.

Levine: So you speak English.

RCP-413: We do.

Levine: We?

RCP-413: We, my kin. Not I.

Levine: Then what am I speaking to?

RCP-413: I.

Levine: Not all of you?

RCP-413: That's not necessary.

Levine: May I ask why not?

RCP-413: You are the Authority. We have- interacted, previously.

Levine: But, are there not many Authorities?

<RCP-413 seems to contemplate this.>

RCP-413: Affirm.

Levine: Which one is this, may I ask?

RCP-413: I am this one. We are- sifting your world, for information.

Levine: That's not the question I asked.

RCP-413: We are I. And I have yet to discern the answer.

Levine: Give you a hint, pal: the right one.

<RCP-413's pupils dilate slightly.>

RCP-413: We have interacted negatively, prior.

Levine: You're not in any logs.

RCP-413: It was the battlefield. The war you wage and shall wage unto eternity.

Levine: China?

RCP-413: You name such.

Levine: Notable speech difference,

RCP-413: This one is now the we. Speak with care, you have attracted undivided attention.

Levine: …I- When were you in Asia?

RCP-413: Our chorus is muddled there. This one has no memory of it.

<Levine takes more notes, RCP-413 acting noticeably less robotic.>

RCP-413: You say you are Righteous.

Levine: That we do.

RCP-413: But your, facsimiles, think likewise.

Levine: You've seen plenty of those, have you?

RCP-413: No. Limited thus far.

Levine: There's only one other in our database.

RCP-413: Your data is limited by perception and personal rank. Ours is whole.

Levine: Be that as it may- why are you speaking to, me specifically, like this?

RCP-413: You are unique. Your ilk is hitherto unforeseen.

Levine: That's, rather refreshing.

RCP-413: So often do we find literal facsimiles; worlds of no discernible specialities.

Levine: …How many are you?

RCP-413: Innumerable. Do not be threatened, as your precursors were.

Levine: You'll find we have the means to dispatch however many of you there are.

RCP-413: We said, you mustn't be wary. Not of us.

Levine: Why's that?

RCP-413: You have more pressing matters on the horizon.

Levine: Elaborate.

RCP-413: Shan't. Our palaver draws to an end.

Levine: …Until next week, that is.

RCP-413: You are interesting. That will be considered.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Further diplomatic interactions with RCP-413 are deemed useful to furthering our understanding of multiversal affairs. Dr. Levine was permanently assigned to the project following this interview.

Interviewed: RCP-413

Interviewer: Levine

Foreword: Interview transcribed by Jeffrey Kilroy. Notes have been added to certain comments for clarification.

<Begin Log>

Levine: You're I, singular now yes?

RCP-413: Affirm.

Levine: Why's that?

RCP-413: Irrelevant. You are pretending to be cordial.

Levine: You're very observant.

RCP-413: It was an educated hypothesis.

Levine: Guess why.

RCP-413: You want knowledge, akin to our own want. It is an inherent want.

Levine: Will you provide?

RCP-413: If you do not tell lies.

Levine: You've got no way to know if I do.

RCP-413: Irrelevant. You are known for propaganda. We do not want propaganda.

Levine: How do you know I'm not anomalously persuasive?

RCP-413: You would be making more demands, Dr. Levine.

Levine: …Right, multidimensional.

RCP-413: Your doubles are much less… obedient.

Levine: In what way?

RCP-413: Your lack of emotional response is notable.

Levine: Answer the damn question.

RCP-413: You are being interviewed for information. You are interviewing us for information. We are coterminous, us in all worlds.

Levine: That, is not an answer.

RCP-413: Look within. You know our meaning.

Levine: Which one am I speaking to now?

<RCP-413 appears to grin, an expression it did not seem able to do previously.>

Levine: The hive mind.

RCP-413: You speak to the we, not the I.

Levine: And you speak to the Authority, lest you've forgotten.

RCP-413: We have spoken to other Authorities. You are but a unique variation.

Levine: Why do you do this? The research routine.

RCP-413: A want permeates our beings, as it permeates yours. Want for a purpose.

Levine: You know mine.

RCP-413: Ours is to find the divine purpose. Yours is to further your lords' sovereignty.

Levine: It's not a medieval kingdom.

RCP-413: You do not differ from the speaker of a lord's court. Your court is that of righteousness.

Levine: You don't know everything about us, or you wouldn't be here.

RCP-413: We know much beyond your science. We do not want harm, or want to cause harm.

Levine: What do you want, then? Say it straight.

RCP-413: The meaning. Of all.

Levine: Meaning of life?

RCP-413: Yes. This language is a decent one, to have such phrases.

Levine: How'd you manage to go to so many realities?

RCP-413: There are cracks. Rivulets of realities. Membranes between worlds. A staircase in Yggdrasil's trunk.

Levine: That's a Norse myth.

RCP-413: It is adequate.

Levine: You believe in God, eh?

RCP-413: We believe in quantifiable proof. There are many who name themselves God.

Levine: Then you-

RCP-413: Your Authority is one of them.

Levine: That's, not true.

RCP-413: Perceive it in its entirety. You have appointed yourselves God.

Levine: Are you not comparable to a god yourself?

RCP-413: No. That is a fallacy of the egotistical.

Levine: You keep insulting us while trying to get information.

RCP-413: Hypocritical.

Levine: Very hostile, now.

RCP-413: Do not mistake clinicality for hostility.

Levine: That'd be a very bloody war, you know.

RCP-413: Your threats are misplaced. We will not waste blood.

Levine: But you know full well what we have at our disposal.

RCP-413: The Authority of this facsimile displays mastery of the uncanny. Your adage is that of dominance.

Levine: Go from insulting to complimenting in an instant, huh.

RCP-413: It is fact. You are down a circuitous path to extinction, one paved with the unnatural and good intentions.

Levine: So why care?

RCP-413: Your Central is a piece of the divine puzzle. A puzzle of infinite pieces, save those that define its edges.

Levine: Central. That's not a name I've told you.

RCP-413: There are a number of us in this world.

Levine: Why? You'll be attacked by soldiers.

RCP-413: A small price for knowledge.

Levine: You seem to know a good deal already.

RCP-413: There are things named gods. They are not true deities. Like you, they are pieces of the puzzle.

Levine: We kill gods around here, spook.

RCP-413: Death curdles flesh, relinquishes energy back to the whole. They are not dead, only repurposed.

Levine: So you believe in reincarnation?

RCP-413: It is the conservation of energy.

Levine: Rather scientific.

RCP-413: What seems a sacrifice is merely, to the whole, an oscillation. There will always be another to replace the fallen.

Levine: Same with gods, then?

RCP-413: History repeats, inevitably.

Levine: I think that'll be all for today, 413.

RCP-413: This one awaits your return.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Information is to be further gathered from RCP-413.

413/intrlog3.zip

Interviewed: RCP-413

Interviewer: Dr. Levine

Foreword: Interview transcribed by containment staff Jeffrey Kilroy. Notes have been added on discretionary basis.

<Begin Log>

Levine: You're still with us. That's good.

RCP-413: This one cannot leave yet.

Levine: Oh, why's that?

RCP-413: You interest us. Your ways are unlike the others we have seen.

Levine: You said we were unique, before.

RCP-413: Affirmed. This is true; no other world has accomplished your deeds.

Levine: How so?

<RCP-413's pupils dilate once again>

RCP-413: The things you do are not to be done by others. You are the logical endpoint of a theoretical concept invented by those too scared to fulfill its parameters.

Levine: Hell's that mean?

RCP-413: Think. Things from beyond your plain look upon you with naught, save foreboding.

Levine: Seems like your opinion on us has changed.

RCP-413: We do not have opinions. Only facts based on prior evidence. And we have done research since last we spoke.

Levine: Oh?

RCP-413: You seek justice like we seek meaning. You seek power to enforce this justice.

Levine: Making a lot of assumptions.

RCP-413: Facts. Trepidation fills us when we think of your future.

Levine: I thought your goal was to know everything.

RCP-413: Absolute power corrupts absolutely. So often have we sipped from that yolk, only to find it choking us.

Levine: And?

RCP-413: You are soon to be choked. We can do nothing but warn you.

Levine: What, if you are so wise after all, could be more powerful than the men who kill gods?

RCP-413: Things who kill men.

Levine: You're making fun of my wording.

RCP-413: We speak literally, probationer. Take care to what you speak, as we are not a rebel in a cage.

Levine: You sound almost, sour.

RCP-413: We have now seen your gaol. The thought makes our minds shudder, what you have done to its denizens.

Levine: Thought you met gods?

RCP-413: Do not act inattentively. You who hears without an attentive ear is deaf.

Levine: Central is only using you for information. You're shooting the messenger here.

RCP-413: Read the message you carry.

Levine: How can we possibly be worse than those eldritch tentacle-whores out there, hm?

RCP-413: The suns have the decency to end the facsimiles they wish to control. The faceless thing acts out of primacy, not sapience. He of the Iskonnyy is punished karmically for his crimes. The library of Uut'L'iithra only harms those who read from it words they were not meant to see.

Levine: I-

RCP-413: The order of Cetacea has had their minds bequeathed. The Sarcomere were bred to perform their sins. The Asura of Tripura were punished by Brahma, and lead astray by the Tower.

Levine: What even is half this shit?

RCP-413: You ask what makes you worse than they. We cannot tell you without telling you of their past. The Avi fell to gluttony, despite their good will. They of Halberds seek to pluck diamond from the ashes. The red king has lost his sight, and thus his reason. The Nivaldi failed to seek that which would save their corporeality.

Levine: …Are these anomalies?

RCP-413: Your brain is not made of lead. These are the things of aeons past, yet your Authority triumphs over all but one in its abhorrent success.

Levine: These examples mean nothing to me, 413.

RCP-413: Allow us to name those that do.

Levine: Please-

RCP-413: The Howlers failed in conquest of those beneath them. The war god has since been reduced to naught but an unconscious locust hive.

Levine: …Those are Protectors, 413. Both of those-

RCP-413: You have numbers for them. It matters not, for we see it clearly on the horizon.

Levine: What?

RCP-413: The dark interval. You will use these ensnared things to encroach on your facsimiles.

Levine: We've got our own timeline to worry about.

RCP-413: Time is infinite. Progress, not so. You march then as you march now, forwards into your damnation.

Levine: You've yet to prove how we're worse than these things.

RCP-413: You are worse, as you assimilated them. Your righteous path leads only to reciprocation from your universal peers, and the slow descent of entropy.

Levine: Got all that from a prison?

RCP-413: We saw the nectarium of the war gods. We heard their incestuous cries as your aberrant words forged them away from their natural course.

Levine: How could you have seen that- I'm not even allowed to know what you're talking about!

RCP-413: Ozymandias knew not the destruction of his kingdom. Gilgamesh did not foresee the whore. It is your blood-borne right to climb the highest peaks, as to fall the farthest.

Levine: Does this mean you're done giving information?

RCP-413: You will continue to catechize this one. It will answer as it may. We will no longer divulge in your repugnance.

Levine: …Do you want anything? Any amenity we have on the site, it's yours.

RCP-413: Music. You will provide this one with jazz. It enjoys such, and unlike your chafing lords; we permit happiness.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: All interviews with RCP-413 succeeding this conversation have provided inconclusive information. It is assumed RCP-413 developed a distaste for the Authority during its time in containment, and will no longer cooperate willingly.
