Containment Protocols: RPC-XXX is currently contained within the Nash Stream Forest in New Hampshire, USA. RPC-XXX inhabits a 1.5 km radius around 44.7500, -71.4049, as per agreement with RPC-XXX.1 Warning signs of black bears in the area are to be posted roughly 0.5 km away from the border of the forest to limit the number of civilians encountering RPC-XXX. RPC agents disguised as park rangers are to be posted .1 km away from the border of the forest, ordering any civilians to turn back. Should any civilians breach the 1.5 km radius, they are to be tracked, amnesticized, and released. When entering the designated containment area, personnel are required to wear a respirator and hazmat suit. Skin-to-skin contact with RPC-XXX is strictly forbidden; any personnel who breach this protocol must be kept under surveillance for approximately 4 hours, as well as issued a psychological evaluation and drug test. A designated RPC agent is to arrive at 44.7390,-71.3996 on the night of each half moon, both waxing and waning, entering the forest no earlier than 2 hours after sunset and departing no later than 2 hours before sunrise. The designated agent must wear the standard protective gear, and must carry the provided video camera. RPC-XXX may make requests during these meetings. Any and all requests made by RPC-XXX must be submitted to Researcher Brower for review. If a request for a physical object is approved, it is to be delivered to RPC-XXX the following meeting.
RPC-XXX is currently pending transfer to a bio-dome in Site-███. This transfer should be completed as early as possible. After thorough consideration, as of █/█/2021, transportation of RPC-XXX has been deemed impossible at the current time. The creation of an OL-Site has been approved as of 11/25/2020 by Regional Director ████████.
Following the first successful harvest of produce grown inside RPC-XXX's inhabited area on █/█/2021, CSD personnel2 are to be stationed on site indefinitely. These CSD are to follow standard safety protocols when entering RPC-XXX's inhabited area. CSD personnel stationed at OL-Site-82 are tasked with the sanitary gathering of produce3 from the forest once a week. CSD being considered for transfer to OL-Site-82 are to have their files sent to Researcher Brower.4
Discovery: RPC-XXX was discovered after an undercover agent infiltrated a cult based in New Hampshire and confirmed connections to an anomalous entity on █/██/2020. A task force was deployed, and all members were administered class G-2 amnestics except for the cult’s founder, Angeal H█████, who was detained and interrogated.
Description: RPC-XXX is a female humanoid 6583 years of age, 2.4 meters tall (2.7 meters including antlers), weighing 164.2 kg. RPC-XXX possesses several cervidae features along with disproportionately long limbs. RPC-XXX's fingernails are structured similar to animal claws. Despite RPC-XXX’s anomalous and active nature, it possesses a slight buildup of fat in its abdominal, inguinal, gluteal, and femoral regions. RPC-XXX possesses a groomed coat of brown fur covering nearly its entire body, changing its shade and length seasonally.5 RPC-XXX's head resembles a bare cervidae skull, possessing antlers reminiscent of a common deer. Despite the lack of lips, RPC-XXX is able to communicate in perfectly comprehensible and fluent English, French, Latin, German, Chinese, Russian, and Algonquin.
RPC-XXX possesses regenerative properties; although, these abilities are limited by the amount of viable organic matter RPC-XXX has access to. RPC-XXX will manipulate the molecular structure of acquired organic matter, primarily of plant origin, into replacement cells. How RPC-XXX is able to rewrite matter on a molecular level is currently unknown.
RPC-XXX is able to teleport by dematerializing and rematerializing its body within a maximum range of 1,000 km. The teleportation process will typically last no more than three seconds. When using this ability, RPC-XXX will retain all aspects of its physical form, including any existing injuries. RPC-XXX does not appear to be able to apply this effect to anything other than its own physical form.
RPC-XXX possesses control over local weather, climate, and geological phenomena. The majority of these abilities defy the first and second laws of thermodynamics, as changes in barometric pressure and temperature appear limited to the controlled area.
The 1.5 km radius RPC-XXX inhabits is covered in a gaseous chemical agent, hereby referred to as RPC-XXX-1. RPC-XXX-1 appears to act as a benzodiazepine-like substance, preventing anxiety and encouraging a state of calmness. RPC-XXX-1 is extraordinarily fast acting, absorbed through the lining of the lungs. Human subjects of average build begin showing effects approximately 30-40 seconds after initial inhalation, with effects rapidly growing more noticeable; effects reach their peak after approximately 4 minutes of continued exposure.
RPC-XXX secretes a substance through its skin on command, referred to as RPC-XXX-2, which is absorbed through the pores of human skin. This substance is usually administered in a controlled dose by RPC-XXX and appears to be designed to induce dissociation in a human subject, leading to increased suggestibility. RPC-XXX-1 takes effect almost immediately; humans of an average build will show full symptoms after only 10 seconds of exposure. Such symptoms may last up to 4 hours after final contact.
Addendum-XXX-01:
The following is the first four interviews conducted with RPC-XXX. Subsequent interviews have obtained little to no critical information regarding the containment or overall nature of RPC-XXX. Interviews deemed not significant enough for addition into the main article are to be added to Document-XXX-IL.
Interviewed: RPC-XXX
Interviewer: Researcher Brower/CSD-04856
Foreword: After initial inspection of the area confirmed the presence of an anomalous entity, attempted contact was deemed necessary in order to aid in the establishment of necessary containment protocols. Considering information regarding RPC-XXX provided by detained followers, CSD-04856 was chosen for this interview due to experience with emotional therapy in order to better understand RPC-XXX. CSD-04856 was provided with instructions from Researcher Brower via an earpiece, as well as a recording device.
<Begin Log, [23:21]>
CSD-04856 has been instructed to remain within the inhabited area until establishing contact with RPC-XXX. Total time before initial contact: 20 minutes.
CSD-04856 spots RPC-XXX sitting next to a water stream within the inhabited area, overlooking it. CSD-04856 begins moving towards it.
CSD-04856: Hey!
[RPC-XXX shows no reaction. CSD-04856 reaches RPC-XXX, standing within close proximity to it.]
CSD-04856: Do you speak English?
RPC-XXX: I speak many languages. Why are you and your people here?
CSD-04856: My people? I’m alone, actually.
RPC-XXX: The ones who stole those who entrusted their lives to me. You are with them, are you not?
CSD-04856: Technically. I do dirty work for them, it’s complicated.
RPC-XXX: I see. Perhaps you could enlighten me as to what they hope to accomplish here? I was hoping to leave, but my curiosity appears to have gotten the best of me. Truthfully, I’d only like to determine how far I should travel from here.
CSD-04856: Leave? Why would you leave, isn’t this your home?
RPC-XXX: A home which has become overrun by yet another human attempt at control. Yet another attempt which has stolen my home and those I trusted. I suppose it is preferable to the very ground being poisoned, or the trees being lit ablaze. However, it does little to change the fact that this place is no longer one I can call my own.
CSD-04856: It kinda sounds like you’ve seen things like this before.
RPC-XXX: In a sense. Humans wishing to bend this world to their will is not a recent development.
CSD-04856: It sounds like you know your history. You mind me asking for examples?
RPC-XXX: Examples? Child, look around you. This world has been manipulated to fulfill the human desire for comfort down to its very roots. I have witnessed much of this developing.
CSD-04856: Now that you mention it, I guess not much is exactly nature’s doing anymore. But then again, what’s the alternative?
RPC-XXX: The alternative is a world of natural causes, one of natural existence.
CSD-04856: You act like you’ve seen what that would be like.
RPC-XXX: I have been here long enough to remember. Six thousand years ago, much of this was pure forest, untainted by the touch of a race forgetting its own beginnings.
CSD-04856: Six thousand? You’re that old?
RPC-XXX: 6582 years. I have not forgotten a single day of that life.
CSD-04856: I see. You don’t think you’re just remembering the past as better than it really was? Saying one time is purely better than another is a little black and white.
RPC-XXX: It’s a possibility. I would be a fool not to admit my emotions may be clouding my judgement, although I suppose that should be expected from losing so much. Not all of what humanity has accomplished is done so in pursuit of power.
CSD-04856: So what about now? Is this an example of trying to bend the world to our will again?
RPC-XXX: Currently, I’m unsure. I have seen little of what exactly your goal is.
CSD-04856: Then why are you leaving so soon? You barely know anything about what we’re doing, but you’re already turning tail and running in fear.
RPC-XXX: I am free to do whatever I wish, especially in response to a disruption in my home.
CSD-04856: You are, but don’t you think you’re a little quick to leave before you even know what any of this is about? Aren’t you in the least bit curious?
RPC-XXX: Curiosity can be lethal.
CSD-04856: Not always. They haven’t tried to attack you yet, so isn’t it safe to assume there’s a reason?
[Pause]
RPC-XXX: I suppose that is a possibility.
CSD-04856: Yeah, it is. And if I were you, I’d stick around to find out exactly what it is.
At this point, CSD-04856 is instructed to return.
CSD-04856: Look, I’ve gotta go. Just remember, if you leave you won’t learn anything about what’s going on here.
RPC-XXX: Evidently.
<End Log, [23:29]>
Closing Statement: CSD-04856 underwent a physical evaluation following his return. A drug test revealed the presence of several substances not administered to CSD-04856 by Authority personnel, including THC, Psilocybin, NO2, and an altered form of Sarin.
Notes: By the way it talked, it sounds like it’s got a way out of here. While I’m not sure exactly what that might be, we shouldn’t take risks when dealing with containment. For now, let’s do our best not to scare it off. - Researcher Browner
I’ve consulted some of the medical staff on the results of CSD-04856’s physical examination results, and they decided to test the fog itself for possible causes. They were right, it’s not fog at all. We’ll need to request some respirators. - Junior Researcher Goodall
Interviewed: RPC-XXX
Interviewer: Researcher Brower/CSD-04856
Foreword: Following interview #1, it was determined the best course of action in service of avoiding a containment breach would be to clearly communicate Authority intentions. In favor of this, CSD-04856 was provided with an earpiece, recording device, respirator, and a list of bullet points pertaining to the Authority’s mission.<Begin Log, [01:43]>
CSD-04856 returned to the same location as interview log #1.
RPC-XXX: You’ve returned, as promised.
CSD-04856: And I’ve come bearing a gift.
RPC-XXX: I have little use for whatever it is you’re wearing, child.
CSD-04856: Ah, not that. That’s for the fog, apparently. What’s it for, anyway?
RPC-XXX: I have found that my appearance often induces the fear associated with folklore in humans. The air here serves to quell that particular paranoia.
CSD-04856: Huh, clever. Anyway, I was talking about this.
[CSD-04856 displays the provided document]
CSD-04856: I’m told it’s a description of what exactly they do. So, you’re going to find out exactly what it is they’re here for, just like you wanted.
RPC-XXX: I am eager with anticipation. Please, read.
CSD-04856: Oh, sure. I was gonna just let you have it, but I can read this off.
[CSD-04856 unfolds the provided document]
CSD-04856: Let’s see here; “The Authority operates in secrecy as an international extragovernmental agency which protects humanity from threats to normalcy.”
RPC-XXX: A protector of human normalcy? I find that awfully vague.
CSD-04856: I think it’s referring to the supernatural. There’s more here: “The Authority works to suppress, destroy or understand anomalies in reality which can have harmful effects on human society, culture, thought and existence.”
RPC-XXX: I suppose the alternatives to destruction are a relief.
CSD-04856: You’d be surprised what they’re unwilling to destroy, you should be just fine. Uh, if you decide to stick around. Alright, there’s a bit more here: “Through constant and unwavering covert work, the Authority seeks to preserve the Terrestrial sovereignty of the human species and prevent civilization from descending into chaos.”
RPC-XXX: A group cloaked in secrecy, with a goal of controlling their society itself.
CSD-04856: I take it you’re not a fan?
RPC-XXX: Of all the causes I have witnessed change the Earth itself, this is certainly not the worst. From the perspective of humanity, it seems admirable, to a degree.
CSD-04856: I guess it goes without saying they plan on keeping you under lock and key… I’m being told I should rephrase that; they’d appreciate it if you’d cooperate with them.
RPC-XXX: And from who did you receive such instructions?
[CSD-04856 taps the provided earpiece, displaying it to RPC-XXX]
RPC-XXX: And through that, you hear voices? Human inventiveness never ceases to amaze me.
CSD-04856: I thought humans don’t contribute anything positive to the world?
RPC-XXX: Perhaps in my emotional state I have misrepresented my feelings. Humans are capable of greatness, make no mistake. Your cleverness, while often used for your own benefit and dominance over nature, has also done such things as save several species or extend your vision to the stars above.
CSD-04856: Not so black and white, then? Could’ve fooled me.
RPC-XXX: Is every wolf a pack leader, child? Does every rat spread disease? In my years, I have found it beyond foolish to assume each and every human are one in the same.
CSD-04856: In that case, let’s chalk it up to shades of grey.
[Long pause]
CSD-04856: So, what’re you thinking? About leaving, I mean.
RPC-XXX: This group, they appear nothing if not persistent from what you have told me. I suppose remaining for a time holds little risk of harm. However, I have little intention of settling in a location of their choosing.
CSD-04856: Not one for orders, huh?
RPC-XXX: I prefer nature to a cell.
CSD-04856: You’re not alone.
At this point, CSD-04856 was ordered to return.
<End Log, [01:48]>
Closing Statement: CSD-04856 was recalled due to a possible altered state of mind, due to the nature of the conversation and the possibility of a respirator failure. CSD-04856 was issued a drug test upon returning, showing clean results. Following this interview, respirators are required equipment for entering RPC-XXX’s inhabited area.
Notes: Thankfully, it looks like we won’t have a containment breach anytime soon. We managed to get a list of it’s previously inhabited locations from it shortly after this interview (Addendum-XXX-02). Our working theory is that RPC-XXX utilizes teleportation in order to travel to new forests when it moves, considering how it’s so far moved unnoticed throughout all of history. We don’t exactly have reliable containment methods against general teleportation, and frankly we can’t afford to spend millions on methods which might not even work. If keeping it happy is working, at least it’s affordable and reliable. - Researcher Brower
CSD-04856 appears to believe that continued interaction with RPC-XXX with Authority personnel may serve to make containment easier. I’m inclined to agree with him. - Junior Researcher Goodall
Interviewed: RPC-XXX
Interviewer: Researcher Brower/CSD-04856
Foreword: Immediately following Incident-XXX-01, CSD-04856 was instructed to enter RPC-XXX’s inhabited area. CSD-04856 was provided with instructions from Researcher Brower via an earpiece, a recording device, and a respirator.<Begin Log, [01:24]>
CSD-04856: You’ve got them all up in arms, you know.
RPC-XXX: Is that right?
CSD-04856: Yeah. That doctor damn near came in here himself. Hell, even I’ve been awake for, what is it, 20 hours now? Been staying awake off these coffee beans they gave me. Everyone assigned to you is looking for that other guy that came in here a couple nights ago, with the girl… Can you tell where I’m going with this?
RPC-XXX: Ah yes, that little problem. I gave him new purpose, let him become one with the Earth. If it’s secrecy you’re worried about, you may rest easy. That one won’t speak a word.
CSD-04856: Oh jesus, does that translate to “I killed and buried him”?
RPC-XXX: Nonsense. I turned his flesh into bark, his insides into wood. He is a part of this forest now, arguably a better position for that one than being human.
CSD-04856: Okay, that I don’t believe. You can’t just turn people into trees, that’s-…
[CSD-04856 is informed of what was learned from the interview with Racheal W████ following Incident-XXX-01. This is followed by a pause.]
CSD-04856: You did. Jesus, you’re telling the truth.
RPC-XXX: I feel you should hardly be surprised. He grossly misused the life he was given to steal what wasn’t his, the very same from others.
CSD-04856: Oh god, he’s not conscious is he? Why the hell would you even do that? Christ, and you criticized them for being flawed, not even they’d kill anyone that stumbles into this pla-
RPC-XXX: Don’t assume, even for a second, I did what I did because I enjoyed it! It was the innocent or the aggressor! If I had just stood back and saved myself the pain, I would’ve let an innocent child die because of my cowardice!
[Pause]
CSD-04856: Is he conscious?
RPC-XXX: Little of that one’s self remains. There’s nothing left to comprehend his current state.
CSD-04856: Well, I guess that’s some comfort. Hey, have you, uh… Done this before?
RPC-XXX: More than I would have preferred.
CSD-04856: Do you remember how many?
RPC-XXX: Sixty-three. I never forget those which I turn into a part of my home.
CSD-04856: Did you actually know any of them?
RPC-XXX: Fifty-four of those faces belonged to those wishing to kill in my name. Those who follow me come to grow frustrated with this world humans have sculpted for themselves, before growing even more frustrated at the unwillingness of others to change it.
CSD-04856: Yeah… People are stupid, I guess. Stupid and violent, when it comes down to the wire.
RPC-XXX: If you believe that, you’re a fool.
CSD-04856: How can you of all people say that? You’ve had to kill- hold on.
[CSD-04856 removes the provided earpiece]
CSD-04856: You’ve had to kill over sixty people! I’ve all but lost faith in humanity after one, how the hell can you handle sixty, over fifty of which were people you knew and trusted!
RPC-XXX: In my life, I have found that those which must have their lives taken are the exception. Humans are not inherently violent, they are simply emotional. Humanity is capable of such greatness, but such atrocities at the same time.
CSD-04856: Even after all your talk about how we poison the Earth, you still don’t hate us?
RPC-XXX: Hate of an entire species is unwise, child. Not one capable of such greatness. Now…
[RPC-XXX reaches its hand towards CSD-04856]
RPC-XXX: Take my hand, child.
CSD-04856: What? Why?
RPC-XXX: I wish to show you something.
[CSD-04856 takes RPC-XXX’s hand]
CSD-04856: Alright, where are we going?
RPC-XXX: Come, sit with me. Listen to the flow of the water.
[RPC-XXX guides CSD-04856 to the nearby water stream]
RPC-XXX: That’s it, sit. Breathe, child. Listen to the wind in the trees, the running of the water, the breathing of the planet. Tell me, how do you feel?
CSD-04856: Comfortable? What did you-
RPC-XXX: There is little need to trouble yourself with that. Tell me child, how do you feel about the ones you serve? The life you breathe speaks as if they confuse you.
CSD-04856: They hardly tell me anything. Why?
RPC-XXX: I have been considering a course of action for some time. While I have traditionally left situations like this behind, a part of me is eager to break that habit. Truthfully, I was hoping you would enlighten me as to how far this instance has delved into cruelty.
CSD-04856: I don’t know, sorry… Why run?
RPC-XXX: In the interest of keeping myself alive, child.
CSD-04856: You don’t think you could, like… help?
RPC-XXX: Excuse me?
CSD-04856: You know, like the ones you got to follow you? Didn’t you change their minds and ideas? If you’re so worried about this going south, why don’t you just stop it?
RPC-XXX: Humans are awfully stubborn, child.
CSD-04856: Maybe. Does that really mean it isn’t worth a shot, though?
[Long pause]
RPC-XXX: Child, may I have one of those seeds you say you’ve been eating?
CSD-04856: Yeah, okay. Here, they gave me a whole pouch of them.
RPC-XXX: Thank you. I believe you should return, child. You must be exhausted after such a long day.
<End Log, [01:47]>
Closing Statement: CSD-04856 returned soon after the end of the recording, collapsing shortly after exiting the inhabited area. CSD-04856 was inspected for physical injury and administered a drug test, showing positive results for an unknown substance (later discovered to be RPC-XXX-1). CSD-04856 was reprimanded for removing the earpiece mid-interview.
Notes: While I find CSD-04856's actions to be careless, it seems he bought us a little more time with RPC-XXX. I’m cautiously optimistic about how containment may develop. - Researcher Brower
What he means is CSD-04856 was downright stupid. Jesus, what moron trusts an anomaly that just killed someone? At least he lived, but he will be reprimanded. - Junior Researcher Goodall
Interviewed: RPC-XXX
Interviewer: CSD-04856
Foreword: Two weeks following interview #3, A wooden basket bearing naturally grown tree bark was discovered near the edge of RPC-XXX’s inhabited zone. The basket contained approximately 300 seeds of a coffea tree (common coffee beans). The following interview was conducted the morning of discovery. CSD-04856 was provided with a respirator and hazmat suit.<Begin Log, [10:38]>
CSD-04856: What’s this?
RPC-XXX: I believe the better question would be regarding what you’re wearing. It's a gift, child. One I felt you would enjoy, considering your apparent affinity for these. Have you tried them?
CSD-04856: Not yet, no.
RPC-XXX: Go on. I assure you, there is no harm. If you like, you may pick and prod at them until you’re your own level of certain.
CSD-04856: I think I'll pass, I'm pretty sure you're only supposed to eat them roasted. Sorry, what exactly is the point of this?
RPC-XXX: A reminder to those you serve. Considering the possibilities, I felt it best to remain as a constant mark of proof that those like me need not be exterminated for the sake of humanity. I have no doubt they will pursue their control, but a level of discretion will always be ideal.
CSD-04856: Fair enough. Call me a pessimist, but I doubt they’ll get all that from just coffee beans, though.
RPC-XXX: An expected reaction. Tell those you serve that I would provide them with whatever they wish.
CSD-04856: So you’ll grow food for them?
RPC-XXX: I felt it a fitting gift, given humanity’s need for food. Think of it as a kindness in service of preserving theirs.
CSD-04856: Just as long as you can keep up with their demand. I’ll level with you, it'll probably take some doing. I doubt they’ll be very eager to feed their staff with food from something they contain, even if you’re cooperating. They’ll also need people for harvesting, proper equipment, housing, and that's not even considering where they’re exporting to. But for what it's worth, I'll let them know.
RPC-XXX: Your kindness is appreciated, child.
<End Log, [10:45]>
Closing Statement: CSD-04856 returned with the basket. Approximately twenty coffee beans from the basket were tested for differences in chemical structure and ingredients. All tests corresponded with what would be found in normal, non-anomalous coffee beans.
Notes: We’ll need to submit requests for the necessary equipment and personnel needed for harvesting, but I’m sure it’ll pass as a containment measure. Whatever keeps her here. - Researcher Brower

Addendum-XXX-04:
The following are reports of incidents which have led to significant discoveries regarding the nature of RPC-XXX. Minor incidents, such as uneventful civilian amnestisation and release, are not listed.
On ██/██/2020, A woman of canadian descent broke RPC authority perimeter around RPC-XXX’s inhabited area, followed by a man who remains unidentified. Subject 1 was later identified as Racheal W████. Following reports from agents involving unauthorized personnel spotted within the containment area, a forest-wide search was conducted. Subject 1 was discovered, approximately 20 minutes after the search began, along with RPC-XXX. How RPC-XXX located both subjects before RPC personnel is currently unknown. Subject 1 was emotionally distraught, however immediate amnestisation was deemed too risky, due to the subject being held by RPC-XXX. After approximately 10 minutes, subject was released by RPC-XXX. Subject was taken to a nearby outpost for an interview.
Interviewed: Subject 1
Interviewer: Junior Researcher Goodall<Begin Log, [20:56]>
Interviewer: Excuse me, ma’am?
Subject 1: Oh, oh I’m sorry. Did you knock? I didn’t hear you.
Interviewer: It’s no trouble ma’am, no trouble at all. I understand you’ve just been through something you don’t quite understand, and you must be processing a lot currently. However, I was wondering if I could ask you some questions?
Subject 1: Questions? Not at all, no. Would you mind if I had some water?
Interviewer: Not at all. Anything you need, ma’am. Now, can I ask your name?
Subject 1: Racheal W████.
Interviewer: Thank you. Racheal, would you mind filling out this form? It’s just a legal thing, you understand. We need your contact info and address, just in case anything happens.
Subject 1: Something like what? Am I in danger? Am I being arrested?
Interviewer: Oh, no ma’am, no no no. Please, take a deep breath. We’re just looking to help you, okay?
Subject 1: Okay… Okay, alright.
Interviewer: Okay. Now, I do have to ask you, there was a man chasing you. Do you know who he was?
Subject 1: No, no I don’t. He was… I was just walking, and he was there. He had a knife, and I just started running, as fast as I could. I-It all happened so fast.
Interviewer: Do you need some time? I can always come back later.
Subject 1: I just want to go home. Can I please just leave?
Interviewer: Not yet, I’m afraid. We just need some information from you, that’s all.
Subject 1: Okay. Then just, ask what you need to. I just want to leave.
Interviewer: Can you tell me what happened to the man that was chasing you?
Subject 1: I… don’t really know.
Interviewer: As in, you lost him?
Subject 1: No, I didn’t lose him. He just… I had this strange hallucination. I saw this… This tall creature, it almost looked like a deer. And it… it grabbed him, lifted him up by his head. And then there were tree branches, they just started growing out of him. It all happened so fast. I heard him scream, but then, nothing. It all happened so quickly. Just, in a snap. Couldn’t have been longer than a few seconds, first he’s there and then, all I see is a tree, right where he was.
Interviewer: A tree?
Subject 1: Are you going to put me in a mental institution?
Interviewer: No, no. I’m sorry, you’re sure that’s what you saw? He turned into a tree?
Subject 1: Well, obviously he couldn’t have, but that makes the most sense, doesn’t it? I think… Should I see a psychologist? These hallucinations, they can’t be good.
Interviewer: Ma’am, you don’t have to worry about this too much. By the time you get home, I feel like none of this will bother you that much anymore. Here's the water you wanted. If you could be so kind, Would you take this pill? It'll help to abate any anxiety you're currently experiencing.
Subject 1: S-Sure…
<End Log [21:04]>
Closing statement: Subject was amnesticized and escorted back to her place of residence. Further investigation of subject’s claims deemed necessary.
On █/██/2021, CSD-████ and CSD-█████ had taken one plastic bag meant for food storage each on food collection duty. CSD-████ and CSD-█████ collected samples of RPC-XXX-2, which they had later used to attempt to simulate the effects of recreational THC and Nitrous Oxide use. The two were reprimanded accordingly.
Later attempts to re-create the incident proved successful. RPC-XXX-2 proved able to retain it's form outside of RPC-XXX's inhabited area seemingly indefinitely. Following this incident and subsequent medical tests, RPC-XXX-2 has been deemed to be a pacification agent. It has been deemed necessary for all personnel entering RPC-XXX's inhabited area to wear respirators. Potential use as a pacification agent of violent RPCs currently under review.
On █/██/2021, a hunter by the name of Walter W████ broke the perimeter around RPC-XXX's inhabited area via use of camouflage. Shortely after the subject entered RPC-XXX's inhabited area, the temperature inside the inhabited area dropped to -10℃. Approximately 8 minutes following the drop in temperature, two audible gunshots were produced. Shortly after, subject exited the perimeter and was treated for mild hypothermia before being amnesticized. Subject was in a hysterical state and was unable to be interviewed, however statements made by the subject seem to indicate subject had shot RPC-XXX twice. RPC-XXX had healed from these wounds by the time of the following scheduled meeting.
Addendum-XXX-05:
RPC-XXX has volunteered to submit to various medical tests at the request of the Authority. The following is a list of conducted medical tests, along with a summary of their results.
Notes provided by Researcher Brower.
Test | Results | Notes |
---|---|---|
Analysis of RPC-XXX-2 | RPC-XXX-2 appears to be comprised of an aerosolized chemical compound composed of Tetrahydrocannabinol, Psilocybin, Nitrous Oxide, and a fourth substance loosely related to Propan-2-yl methylphosphonofluoridate. | This could prove a very useful pacification agent for the Authority. |
Analysis of RPC-XXX-1 | A 1.16ml sample of RPC-XXX-1 was provided for testing. The chemical composition is similar to a modified version of Phencyclidine, although it possesses reduced effectiveness as a hallucinogenic substance, with a comparatively lower rate of psychological dependency. | This seems like it would make a good surgical anesthetic. Perhaps we could use it for medical reasons. |
Test of RPC-XXX's grip pressure | RPC-XXX has a grip strength of an estimated 600 PSI. | Christ, she could crush a human skull in her hands. |
An analysis of the process RPC-XXX uses to change a subject into a tree, performed on a CSD personnel.6 | N/A, subject refused to participate | I'm not sure what you expected. |
Bite pressure test. | RPC-XXX has a bite pressure of an estimated 3,950 PSI. | That's more than a crocodile. Ouch. |
Speed test of 500m | Subject finished 500m dash in 47.56 seconds. | Technically, her top speed is infinite with teleportation. |
Blood test | RPC-XXX's DNA resembles a mix of various animals [homosapian, cervadae, and several unknown species.] Despite clear differences of species, RPC-XXX's blood shows incredible adaptiveness when used in transfusion, most closely resembling the behavior of O- blood. Subject's immune systems appear to strengthen in response to direct contact via injection with RPC-XXX's blood. RPC-XXX's immune system appears to get stronger with age. | Although the added resistance to disease could be useful for select MSTs, I'm hesitant to suggest an RPC as a blood donor. |
Upper limits of RPC-XXX's ability to manipulate climate. | Temperature range of -30℃ - 80℃, air density range of .2 kg/m³ - 2.1 kg/m³. RPC-XXX displayed 10 minute intervals of rain, snow, moderate wind speeds, and thunder. | I doubt we can counteract changes in temperature this sudden with protective gear. |
Demonstration of RPC-XXX's regenerative abilities7 | An RPC Agent made an incision along the left outer forearm of RPC-XXX. RPC-XXX proceeded to break a branch off a nearby tree and convert it into an unknown green substance. Approximately 2 minutes after spreading the unknown substance on its wound, RPC-XXX had made a full recovery. Further incisions were made, increasing linearly in size. Each subsequent required more of the unspecified regenerative substance to heal. | Glad our agent wasn't turned into a tree. |
Analysis of unknown regenerative substance | The substance used in RPC-XXX's regenerative process is primarily comprised of mutated raw multipotent stem cells, along with trace amounts of an unknown substance, chemically resembling cervidae saliva. | Whatever this is, I doubt it'd work on people. |
Addendum-XXX-06:
On █/██/2021, RPC-XXX requested a batch of various seeds of fruits and vegetables. This request was approved. Following this, various fully grown fruits and vegetables of the same type have been discovered in the area RPC-XXX inhabits. These fruits and vegetables have shown to be of extraordinary quality, and upon further testing, have been proven safe for human consumption. An agreement has been made with RPC-XXX to allow the RPC Authority the use of the food it grows, exporting them to various sites weekly.
The following is a record of which foods, and which amounts, are exported every week. The list is to be updated accordingly upon a noticeable change.
Notes provided by Researcher Brower.
Produce | Harvest Count | Average Dimensions | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Avocado (Persea Americana) | 320 - 370 | 15cm Diameter, including 4cm seed | Seems to hold onto ideal ripeness longer than average. |
Grapefruit (Citrus Paradisi) | 130 - 170 | 20cm Diameter | Counterbalances the effects of RPC-XXX-2. Cycle tree annually. 1-2 days worth of harvest are to be kept on site every month. All personnel on RPC-XXX assignment are to consume one half of a grapefruit from this harvest every morning. |
Red Cherries (Prunus Avium) | 2100 - 2700 | 3cm Diameter | RPC-XXX was given industry standard infertile seeds; cherries have fertile pits. |
Carrot (Daucus Carota Sativus) | 70 - 100 | 15cm Diameter at thickest point, 33cm Length | Nothing of note. |
Butternut Squash (Cucurbita Moschata) | 70 - 90 | 18cm Diameter, 30cm Length | We can finally get some good ravioli from the mess hall. |
Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) | 15 - 35 | 36cm Diameter | Harvest count reduced by local wildlife. |
Sugar Cane (Saccharum officinarum) | 30 - 60 | 12cm Diameter, 120cm Length | Rich in molasses, lower than average yield of refined sugar. |
Raspberries (Rubus strigosus) | 1050 - 2100 | 2cm Diameter | Higher values of vitamins C, E, and K on average. |
Coffee seeds (Coffea arabica) | 900 - 970 (Two seeds per cherry) | 1 cm - 1.3 cm in length, .6 cm - .8 cm in width | Coffee brewed with these beans tastes richer, according to on-site personnel. |
Honeycrisp apples (Malus domestica) | 450 - 500 | 11.5 cm - 13.3 cm Diameter | Honeycrisp apples are notoriously hard to grow. Glad we can get them without spending a small fortune now. |

Containment Protocols: RPC-XXX is to be contained within a standard security locker on Site-███, along with the provided power cable. Instances of RPC-XXX-1 are to be stored in separate security lockers, organized by their type and marked with a date of creation. If an instance of RPC-XXX-1 is not opened or used after nine months, it is considered non-anomalous and must be removed from the assigned security locker and disposed of. Previously opened instances of RPC-XXX-1 are to be considered non-anomalous one day following initial opening and must be disposed of. Testing of RPC-XXX or any instances of RPC-XXX-1 must be approved by one level 03 research personnel.
Discovery: RPC-XXX was discovered when an undercover RPC Agent attended a college party at ██████ ██████████ University. A student by the name of ████ ████████ presented four instances of RPC-XXX-A, demonstrating their anomalous properties. RPC-XXX, as well as three instances of RPC-XXX-A, were recovered shortly after. All students in attendance were administered class A-1 amnestics.
Description: RPC-XXX is a model KWC-4U Coca-Cola brand miniature refrigerator, measuring 9 x 7 x 10 inches. Placing any consumable liquid inside RPC-XXX for any increment of time longer than twenty (20) minutes causes the creation of an RPC-XXX-1 instance.
RPC-XXX-1 instances display different anomalous effects depending on what liquid was used in the creation of the instance. RPC-XXX-1 instances appear to derive their effects from pre-existing properties of their origin liquid. Despite the physical properties of RPC-XXX-1 being vastly different from its base liquid, spectrograph screenings have revealed no noticeable change in chemistry before an instance has been opened following creation, suggesting the anomalous effects of RPC-XXX-1 instances only present themselves upon exposure to the atmosphere.
RPC-XXX-A instances possess different pH levels depending on which type of soft drink is used in the creation of an RPC-XXX-A instance. Despite potentially being highly acidic, RPC-XXX-A will not dissolve the glass container it was created in. RPC-XXX-A instances appear to loose their acidic nature similar to a non-anomalous soft drink loosing carbonation. If an RPC-XXX-A instance is left opened and idle for approximately one - two (1 - 2) days, or closed and idle for six - nine (6 - 9) months, the instance will seemingly loose all anomalous properties. RPC-XXX-A instances can be consumed safely with no noticeable anomalous effects.
Addendum-XXX-01:
The following is a list of different soft drinks, along with their pH level.
Soft drink type | pH level |
---|---|
Coca-Cola | -20.3 |
Dr Pepper | -15.4 |
Pepsi | -19.8 |
Diet Pepsi | -25.3 |

Containment Protocols: Instances of RPC-XXX are to be kept inside a bio-dome at Site-██. The dome is to be populated with flowers and herbs of various types and maintain a day-night cycle. The plants are to be watered at nighttime via overhead spray irrigation. Due to wild instances of RPC-XXX being nearly impossible to detect, containment of RPC-XXX requires constant monitoring of local news. Any reports of suspect RPC-XXX instances are to be investigated immediately, with instances of RPC-XXX being contained. Contained populations of RPC-XXX are to be scanned for any non-anomalous honey bees, which are to be released. Due to continued use, no upper limit on RPC-XXX population is in place and a minimum population of seven hundred is to be maintained. Any personnel wishing to engage in testing of RPC-XXX outside of medical needs must submit to a medical evaluation for verification as free of any physical ailments. Personnel wishing to make use of RPC-XXX-A for personal medical purposes must submit an application (See Addendum-XXX-01).
Honey produced by RPC-XXX, referred to as RPC-XXX-B, is to be divided and stored in clearly labeled 1 L glass jars. Jars containing RPC-XXX-B are to be stored within the storage wing of Site-██ inside a medium sized security locker. RPC-XXX-B is to be collected once every two weeks by designated containment personnel. Requests for access to RPC-XXX-B for research purposes are to be submitted to the on-site research department head. Access requests for medical purposes are to be submitted to the on-site medical department head. Personnel wishing to make use of RPC-XXX-B for personal medical purposes must submit an application (See Addendum-XXX-01).
Description: RPC-XXX refers to any member of an anomalous subspecies of the common Honey Bee (Apis). The natural behavior of RPC-XXX, as well as its appearance are indistinguishable from its non-anomalous biological sibling. Instances of RPC-XXX are non-aggressive and will generally avoid subjects who are not suffering from any disease or sickness. Subjects who possess any form of physical or psychological illness will produce an apparently aggressive response from instances of RPC-XXX, regardless of whether or not the subject in question has engaged in disruptive activity. Currently, approximately three thousand instances of RPC-XXX are in containment, including four queens. Each RPC-XXX queen produces between five and fifteen RPC-XXX eggs in a single day.
Upon stinging a subject RPC-XXX will release RPC-XXX-A into the subject's bloodstream. Stingers from RPC-XXX are comprised of a honey-like substance with relatively weak chemical bonds. When left inside a subject's skin a stinger will slowly insert itself into the subject's body, quickly breaking itself down into amino-acids upon entry. Despite being a subspecies of Anthophila, RPC-XXX produces no allergic reaction upon stinging a subject with an allergy to Bees.
RPC-XXX-A is a chemical agent of unknown composition. Study or recreation of the base chemical form of RPC-XXX-A is currently impossible, due to the compound immediately dematerializing upon contact with the atmosphere, as well as quickly changing its behavior upon entering a body. When injected into a subject RPC-XXX-A immediately begins seeking out and counteracting a single affliction, leading to a subject being cured of the targeted affliction within a maximum of two days. Once RPC-XXX-A targets an affliction, it will begin changing its behavior within the body in order to specialize in combating the ailment. Behavioral changes include, but are not limited to, specialization in focusing on repairing damaged cells, rewriting of subject’s DNA, and combating viral strains. RPC-XXX-A does not appear to be able to cure physical injuries, as RPC-XXX instances are not attracted to any such afflictions. Currently, no negative side effects of RPC-XXX-A have been discovered. RPC-XXX-A are not guaranteed to target any specific affliction.
RPC-XXX produces non-anomalous honey at a similar rate to non-anomalous honey bees. Following an incident in the Site-██ cafeteria on ██/██/201█, Honey produced by RPC-XXX is to be designated as RPC-XXX-B. Testing of RPC-XXX-B has revealed that, although chemically similar to honey, it is comprised of mutated omnipotent stem cells. When applied to exposed wounds RPC-XXX-B will begin a slow process of repairing the damaged tissue or bone, using itself as a replacement for the damaged area. RPC-XXX-B will not change its appearance once this process has been completed despite mimicking and replacing the damaged/lost cells on a molecular level, fully integrating itself as a part of a subject's body with minimal to no resistance. RPC-XXX-B will only target the closest injury to where the substance was applied on the subject's body and will show no activity if applied more than approximately 30 cm away from an injury. Due to the limited quantity and production of RPC-XXX-B, the upper limits of what RPC-XXX-B can replace is currently unknown.
RPC-XXX has been approved for medical use in Site-██, along with open applications for receiving a dose of RPC-XXX-A/-B. Due to the limited population and reproductive cycle, as well as limited RPC-XXX-B production, applications are accepted on a need basis (See Addendum-XXX-01). Doses of RPC-XXX-A administered annually must not exceed half the population at the beginning of the previous December.
Addendum-XXX-01:
The following is an application for doses of RPC-XXX-A or RPC-XXX-B. Should any personnel wish to make use of RPC-XXX-A/-B for personal reasons, they are to fill out the following application and request contact details from their respective department head.

Addendum-XXX-02:
The following is a log of the results from various tests of RPC-XXX-A/-B. This log has been shortened to the results of one per unique affliction among afflictions chosen for demonstration purposes, for the sake of brevity.
Affliction | Results |
---|---|
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) | RPC-XXX-A attached itself to the bone marrow, correcting a chromosomal mutation. RPC-XXX-A remained in the subject's body for 20 days, substituting white blood cells until subject's bone marrow had produced enough fully developed cells to naturally defend the body. A blood test taken 30 hours following initial injection showed no signs of subject's CML. |
ALS | RPC-XXX-A attached itself to the subject's central nervous system, repairing nerve cells over a 20 hour period. Following this, subject began showing an increased appetite. Once it had repaired the central nervous system, half of RPC-XXX-A began tearing various muscles within the subject's body. The other half of RPC-XXX-A attached itself to the subject's brain, instructing the body to redirect the newly ingested proteins primarily to muscle development. After 21 hours of muscle development, RPC-XXX-A ceased activity. 45 hours following initial injection, subject began showing signs of regained motor skills. |
Depression (Biological) | RPC-XXX-A spread itself out among the amygdala, hippocampus, and the dorsomedial thalamus. RPC-XXX-A began correcting structural and functional abnormalities over the course of 23 hours, regulating dopamine and serotonin production. 25 hours following initial injection, subject showed no symptoms of targeted affliction. |
Type 1 Diabetes | RPC-XXX-A attached itself to subject's bone marrow, rewriting the produced white blood cells over the course of 4 hours, presumably with the purpose of preventing a repeated immune response to the beta cells. Following this, RPC-XXX-A attached itself to the pancreas, repairing the beta cells and restoring production of natural insulin over the course of 3 hours. 9 hours following initial injection, a blood sugar test showed that the subject's body had attained normal blood sugar levels naturally. |
Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease | RPC-XXX-A began attaching a majority of itself to the temporal lobe, the remaining amount covering the remaining parts of the subject's brain. RPC-XXX-A began repairing or replacing brain cells and cell connections over the course of 44 hours. Over this time period, symptoms of subject's Alzheimer's began improving. Approximately 45 hours following initial injection, subject submitted to a CT scan. The damage to the brain done by subject's Alzheimer's had been completely undone. |
Parkinson's Disease | RPC-XXX-A induced sleep in the subject, before attaching itself to the midbrain. Over the course of 38 hours, RPC-XXX-A repaired damaged nerve cells and began assisting in the production of dopamine. Subject awoke 40 hours following initial injection, displaying no symptoms of the targeted affliction. |
Affliction | Results |
---|---|
Third-degree burns on palm | 10 ml of RPC-XXX-B was applied to subject's palm. RPC-XXX-B began dissolving the burned cells, exposing the inside of the subject's hand before replacing the destroyed cells. Upon forming to resemble subject's palm prior to burning, RPC-XXX-B began re-creating nerve endings and connections. RPC-XXX-B then solidified and adopted a skin-like texture. |
Minor lacerations along outer forearm | 5 ml of RPC-XXX-B was applied to subject's outer forearm. RPC-XXX-B immediately spread itself along the injured area, gathering on top of each minor laceration. RPC-XXX-B began filling in wounds, re-creating the lost tissue and stopping the subject's bleeding. |
Major laceration along torso | Approximately 750 ml of RPC-XXX-B was applied to the subject's torso. RPC-XXX-B entered the subject's body via the wound and began repairing several damaged ribs, applying itself at the points of each bone's separation, replacing the lost cells and acting as a binding agent in order to re-form subject's ribs. RPC-XXX-B then began replacing internal lining and skin, separating itself into several layers. Upon finalizing the form of each layer and re-creating nerve endings, along with nerve connections, RPC-XXX-B solidified and adopted a skin-like texture. |
Severed forearm from shoulder | Approximately 500 ml of RPC-XXX-B was applied at the severance point, with the subject's severed forearm held against it. RPC-XXX-B quickly stopped the subject's bleeding, molding into a form similar to subject's lost joint. Over the course of 1 hour, RPC-XXX-B re-created nerve connections between the shoulder and forearm, while solidifying and adopting a skin-like texture. |

Containment Protocols: RPC-XXX is to be deployed on high-risk ASF operations, as well as provided a standard meal plan based off a 4000 calorie diet. Armor and weapons provided to RPC-XXX are to be clearly labeled as belonging to the subject. Currently, no containment protocols are required for RPC-XXX, as RPC-XXX is an Authority operative.
Description: RPC-XXX at the time of initial discovery was a set of of four floppy disks containing a copy of DOOM. When played, RPC-XXX would spontaneously create hostile entities resembling enemies from DOOM within a 100m radius around the computer used to run RPC-XXX. RPC-XXX was destroyed during a containment and recovery operation on █/██/201█ by ██████ ████████ (Decide on a name later :)), an ASF soldier deployed on the recovery operation, given the designation IB-400. The effects of the original RPC-XXX have been neutralized following this incident.
RPC-XXX is currently the ASF soldier ██████ ████████ following the destruction of the original RPC-XXX. RPC-XXX is a human male of lean build standing at 198.12 cm. RPC-XXX has a top running speed of 92 K/pH, and a jump height of 2.4 m. RPC-XXX is able to handle any weapon provided to it, and is seemingly unaffected by recoil. RPC-XXX possesses extraordinary upper body strength, able to bench press 952 kg. RPC-XXX's body will rapidly regenerate lost or damaged tissue upon termination of a subject with it's bare hands, with no clear indication of where it obtains the replacement cells, or how exactly it regenerates. Currently, it is believed RPC-XXX obtained it's current abilities from the destruction of the original RPC-XXX, although how exactly these abilities were granted is unknown.

» WARNING: INFO-HAZARD «
INFORMATION REGARDING RPC-XXX IS CONSIDERED A CLASS-A INFO-HAZARD
PERSONNEL ATTEMPTING TO ACCESS INFORMATION REGARDING RPC-XXX FOR NON-ESSENTIAL REASONS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT TO A PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION IMMEDIATELY
PERSONNEL ATTEMPTING TO ACCESS INFORMATION REGARDING RPC-XXX FOR ESSENTIAL REASONS MUST REQUEST THE WEEKLY ACCESS CODE FROM THEIR ON-SITE RESEARCH DEPARTMENT HEAD
FOLLOWING INITIAL READING, PERSONNEL ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT TO THEIR NEAREST ARMORY. IF NO ARMORY IS AVAILABLE, CONTACT YOUR ON-SITE SECURITY DEPARTMENT HEAD.
To access information regarding RPC-XXX, please input your ID, password, and access code below:
Containment Protocols: RPC-XXX is contained within a blacked out plastic bag, buried approximately 2 m below the Site-XX courtyard. RPC-XXX is currently contained within a small maximum security locker within the storage wing of Site-XX. The passcode to RPC-XXX's storage container is as follows: [REDACTED]. Removal of RPC-XXX from it's storage container must be approved by three RPC-XXX-2 instances, and must be done within the hours of 01:00 and 04:00. RPC-XXX must be returned no later than 04:30 hours. Removal of RPC-XXX for reasons other than research purposes towards the goal of RPC-XXX's destruction is not permitted and will result in termination. See Addendum-XXX-02.
RPC-XXX-2 instances must be provided a sidearm of any type, accompanied by one round. If the provided round does not fire, or is wasted, instances of RPC-XXX-2 are to be provided an additional round. No RPC-XXX-2 instance is permitted to carry more than one bullet at a time. (RPC-XXX-2 instances must not enter the Site-XX storage wing under any circumstances. See Addendum-XXX-02.)
Discovery: Due to the nature of RPC-XXX, how it was discovered is unknown. It is currently believed that RPC-XXX was discovered following an ASF raid on a compound belonging to an unnamed cult, participating in the worship of the god "Ecturium".
Description: RPC-XXX is a piece of paper dating approximately 200 BCE, containing information regarding a deity known as "Ecturium".
Following any human subject being made aware of information regarding RPC-XXX, they will immediately become an instance of RPC-XXX-2. Following initial infection, RPC-XXX-2 instances will show awareness of RPC-XXX-1. RPC-XXX-2 instances have shown severely degrading mental health following initial infection, resulting in increased devotion to the entity "Ecturium". This devotion will often results in RPC-XXX-2 instances attempting to spread information regarding RPC-XXX, be it through vocal means or attempting to breach RPC-XXX's containment.
Addendum-XXX-01:
The following is a compilation of edits made to RPC-XXX's page by RPC-XXX-2 instances.
Just because we're going to die doesn't mean we can't be neat.
I managed to find a scanned copy of RPC-XXX in the digital library. I'm assuming it was left by one of the really early -2s, trying to get around the security protocols. I deleted it after backing it up onto a flash drive. I figured I might as well give you all a run-down of some of the more critical information. Doesn't hurt to know a bit more about what you've gotten yourself into.
Alright, the gist of it is that we're all "Children of the watcher" now. So yes, this is cult stuff. I guess that means this was discovered after a raid on a cult location or something. Anyway, "the watcher" is this being called Ecturium, and it's god ugly. From the illustration on the paper, it looks like a mass of tentacles and eyes. No coloration on any of it, but if Lovecraft has taught me anything it's probably grey or something. I'm gonna leave the flash drive inside locker 584 with a warning on paper, the combination is 12 04 21. If any of those main article writers become a -2 maybe they can work with it. (Compiler's note: I've removed the file and summarized the appearance of the page as best as I can in the description. Uploading any files containing information regarding RPC-XXX is dangerous. Keep in mind all of this is stored on the central database, so please have some common sense.)
Hey.
I'm breaking Authority policy on editing the entries for RPC objects, but fuck it. It's not like any higher-ups are able to view this anyway.
At the time of writing I've been an RPC-XXX-2 instance for about two months. Everything stated in this article is true. So, don't go doubting it. We're all dead men walking now.
At first, it's gonna be scary, and that doesn't change much. You're going to fear what exactly is going to happen to you. You're gonna go to your nearest armory, get your sidearm, and consider blowing your brains out on the spot. And honestly, nobody could blame you. Hell, most of them do.
But some, like me, keep going. We continue our work, and we don't say a goddamn thing to anyone. And that works too, some days it isn't so bad. Some days the whispers are tolerable, other days I can feel it watching me, drawing up plans for us in it's mind. Most days I can feel it getting worse, seeping into my soul and my mind, decaying who I even am.
Whether we die early, or keep on going, it doesn't really matter. You guys aren't going to like this, but I have reason to believe that we can't truly die now. I'll update the document formally with what I've found later on to the best of my ability, at least before I'm too far gone, but I don't doubt it.
So, whether you're CSD, junior personnel, or even administration by some chance, we're all equally fucked.
There is no cure. Believe me, some of us have looked. I remember, one guy kept on searching for a cure up until the very end.
Hell, maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe it's comfortable, maybe we're given all the pleasures we could want. Maybe it's better than actual death, or maybe someday the Authority will find a way to free us. Maybe we'll even get to see things beyond our wildest imaginations.
But that's all just speculation. Right now, our bodies are forfeit. We are all living on borrowed time, now. And there's not a thing we can do about it.
I know I'm rambling, but my point is this: we're already dead, so don't be afraid. At least we won't really die. Or maybe that's the worst part.
This is bullshit. I should've never signed on with you fuckers.
The one time I manage to figure out someone's ID and password, and it's one of you guys. I thought I was gonna find out about some cool world-ending shit that'd make dying a little more bearable. Because y'know, at least I wouldn't have to deal with that. But instead I get cursed for all eternity.
They won't even give me a gun either, so I can't kill myself. - CSD-98341
(Compiler's note: Maybe you should've left the research aspect to the researchers.)
Fuck you. - CSD-98341
So how are we going to talk to each other? We sure can't just keep going back and forth like this on the main page.
I was thinking we could set up a telnet server or something, so it's not on the main network.
(Compiler's note: Do not do this. Disregarding what compiling all this hazardous info could do if someone ever stumbles upon it, don't forget that we're designated RPC-XXX-2 for a reason. What happens when a group of us snap and work together instead of working alone? How many people do you want to put at risk?)
Okay, shit. Sorry.
Can we just do game nights or something instead? - CSD-98341
I did something stupid yesterday, guys. To put it bluntly, I jacked off in front of -1 while it watched. I thought it'd scare it away.
Do you guys think it won't want my eyes now?
(Compiler's note: I'm only keeping this here because I'm convinced it's some other mental affect from XXX.)
Don't remove it, this is the funniest shit I've ever read. We all need a good laugh right now, anyway. - CSD-98341
Hey, wait a minute, I just thought of something.
Why are we all allowed to keep our clearances? Shouldn't we all be turned into CSDs?
(Compiler's note: I'm going to post my own theory here. I'm pretty sure the Authority isn't aware of the desires to create more XXX-2 instances infection causes. This is most likely because we don't really have a way of telling them without infecting them. I'm pretty sure the only thing about this entire entry the Authority even authorized were the containment protocols, since we must've came up with the description and there's no information about it's discovery. And even then, they don't know we maintain the page ourselves. It's not like they can check the editing history.)
Alright, I've been thinking.
We're the only ones that know the full extent of what XXX can do. If the higher ups knew, this thing would be an Omega, easily. Now the way I see it, with that information, we have two options.
One, we can do nothing and let more -2 instances be created, continuing this bullshit.
Or two, we can destroy the source. If we manage to destroy XXX, the only source of spread left would be us, and we're all dead anyway.
I know, I read the description too. But what exactly did they try when attempting to destroy it? What can we possibly do that they couldn't think of? Maybe utilize another RPC?
Guys, we're not incompetent. We're working for the Authority, for christ sake. We're the best there is, we have some of the best scientists in the world, and just a handful of those are us.
I'm thinking we set up some kind of telnet. I know, it's a security risk, but hear me out. There's at least one CSD here with us, once we figure it out and destroy the damn thing, he can be the one to delete everything. The telnet, the RPC number, anything and everything. After that, it's a matter of not saying anything to anyone.
(Compiler's note: He's right. The Authority can't help us anymore, we're on our own. We have to figure this out, for the good of everyone who's still safe.)
Addendum-XXX-02:
The destruction of RPC-XXX has been deemed a necessity in order to prevent a potential global end of sanity. Below is the compilation of all RPC-XXX-2 efforts towards the permanent destruction of RPC-XXX.
Do not attempt to destroy RPC-XXX.
Hello, all RPC-XXX-2 instances.
Those of you in the telnet already know what this is about, however for those not actively participating in efforts of destruction, let me provide a brief explanation.
Last night, at approximately 02:00 hours, we successfully re-located RPC-XXX without being noticed. It required heavy coordination of -2 instances holding various positions on Site-XX, but it's bag is currently contained within a maximum security locker, hidden behind several rows in the back of the storage wing. In other words, it won't be noticed.
We've given the locker what we believe to be a secure password, which can be viewed in the containment procedures.
This means we can finally begin durability tests. However, we have decided to wait until we can recover the archived testing logs regarding RPC-XXX, so we may avoid repeating experiments.
We'll keep you all updated.
If you're reading this, you've probably got a lot of questions. Most of them are probably along the lines of "why haven't they destroyed XXX yet?"
Here's your answer: We were played for goddamn fools.
The destruction of XXX was nothing but a ploy laid by some long time -2 instance, totally devoted to whatever the hell god this is. He suggested it to us as a way of bringing us all closer to XXX, because he knew what we didn't: the closer you are to XXX, the faster the mental degradation progresses. It scales.
Our first warning sign was when one of our chemists attempted to reach the site's broadcast room, before self-terminating when we found him. After that, we all sat down and figured out we were all getting these kinds of desires. Of course, those are only supposed to start six months after initial infection, meanwhile the oldest -2 instance among us was going on three.
It didn't take long for us to put two and two together.
The telnet is gone, but we're leaving this page up as a warning: do not attempt to destroy XXX. It cannot be done. If you think it can, and if you get desires to, you're being played.
Do not go into the Site-XX storage wing.
I'm locking this page under my ID so none of you long time -2s can remove this. Whatever you do, do not get close to XXX. If you're a new -2, do yourself a favor and use the gun they give you. It's easier than surviving on false hope.

Containment Protocols: Instances of RPC-XXX are to be contained inside a small security locker, within the storage wing of Site-███. All communication on Site-███ is to be monitored, and all personnel below level 3 must submit their mobile devices for a review of outbound communication every twenty-four hour period. Contained instances of RPC-XXX are not to be damaged or vandalized in any way. Any personnel having made contact with the phone number provided on RPC-XXX are to be interrogated and reprimanded accordingly. Currently, ██ cellular providers have agreed to cooperate with the Authority, and will block any communication with the provided phone number on instances of RPC-XXX. Officials of these providers are to have their communication monitored. If a region is covered by a non-cooperative provider, local cell-phone towers in use by the mentioned providers must be monitored for outbound connections. Internet forums and imageboards are to be monitored for mentions of RPC-XXX instances. Recovery of discovered RPC-XXX instances must be carried out as soon as possible. Civilians who make contact with RPC-XXX-1 must be tracked and amnestized.
Currently, no viable containment method has been discovered for RPC-XXX-2 instances. If an instance of RPC-XXX-2 materializes without proper RPC authorization, no personnel are to attempt to contain it or hinder it in any way. Preparations for mass amnestization of the population local to the instance's point of materialization are to be made and carried out within five hours.
Discovery: Three instances of RPC-XXX were discovered following an ASF search of the ████████████ Inc. CEO's residence, disguised as a standard police search. This was following the unusual circumstances around the deaths of several officials involved in competing organizations. Subject was interrogated and amnesticized.
Description: Instances of RPC-XXX are standard business cards using 16-point cardstock. RPC-XXX is able to take limited damage to itself without anomalous effect. If destroyed, an identical, brand new copy of RPC-XXX will rematerialize within a 1m radius of the destroyed original. If vandalized, RPC-XXX will slowly revert back to an undamaged and unvandalized condition over the course of one hour. The phone number provided by RPC-XXX does not exist on any known registry or database and is not registered with any cell phone carrier. Tracing a call made to the provided number typically leads to various cell phone towers, rarely ever the same.
Calling the provided number will connect the caller with RPC-XXX-1, who will proceed to ask questions about the subject's name, the date of call, the planet subject resides on, and the "timeline number", although the correct answer to the last prompt is currently unknown. RPC-XXX-1 will then request a target and a reason for request, although it does not appear that RPC-XXX-1 has any means of verifying this reason.
Within a timeframe of fifteen seconds to four months following a successfully completed request with RPC-XXX-1, an RPC-XXX-2 instance will materialize in an unobserved location approximately 100-200m away from the position of the target specified to RPC-XXX-1. RPC-XXX-2 instances are currently believed to be agents dispatched by RPC-XXX-1, all of which appear to be humanoid entities of mechanical nature. RPC-XXX-2 instances appear to prefer materializing when the specified target is heavily guarded, and seemingly have prior knowledge of any ambush or general trap waiting for it, although whether this is due to somehow obtaining information or through temporal manipulation is currently unknown. The exact process RPC-XXX-2 instances use to materialize and de-materialize is currently unknown. RPC-XXX-2 instances do not appear hostile towards civilians or subjects not protecting the specified target, and will actively avoid collateral damage. RPC-XXX-2 instances possess movement speeds beyond human limitations, as well as exceptional skills with their associated weaponry. Several weapons RPC-XXX-2 instances utilize appear to operate using electromagnetic energy, despite the fact that the technology for such weaponry has yet to be developed to a workable state in baseline reality. Currently there have been four unique instances of RPC-XXX-2, each one utilizing a vastly different skillset.
RPC-XXX-2-A stands approximately 180cm tall. RPC-XXX-2-A is the fastest of RPC-XXX-2 instances, having an estimated top speed of 160 K/pH. RPC-XXX-2-A has displayed incredible agility and ability with small arms, exclusively utilizing handguns, compact submachine guns, shotguns with shortened barrels, and compact fully automatic rifles. RPC-XXX-2-A will frequently wield two guns at once, while utilizing a system for preparing loaded magazines within it's hips. In practice, this appears to minimize its reload time, allowing the reload of both weapons without the need for a free hand.
RPC-XXX-2-B stands approximately 188 cm tall, with an estimated top speed of 80 K/pH. RPC-XXX-2-B is the only RPC-XXX-2 instance utilizing scoped weapons, appearing to specialize in high-precision anti-material weapons. RPC-XXX-2-B has never been observed using more than one weapon at a time, unlike it's counterparts. RPC-XXX-2-B possesses no special reloading mechanism, and typically will rely on bolt-action weapons, or weapons utilizing a similar mechanism. RPC-XXX-2-B appears to compensate for the relatively low output of projectiles by exclusively using rounds which both penetrate multiple targets and are capable of ricocheting off multiple surfaces.
RPC-XXX-2-C stands approximately 196 cm tall, with an estimated top speed of 130 K/pH Despite being the largest of observed RPC-XXX-2 instances, as well as carrying the most equipment, RPC-XXX-2-C is the only instance capable of flight; utilizing a small scale rocket propulsion system in it's feet. Unlike other RPC-XXX-2 instances RPC-XXX-2-C utilizes weapon systems within its own body, such as launching explosives and flashbangs from its legs, shooting raw energy from its hands and chest, and deploying miniature missile salvos from its shoulders. (Need to work on this part) RPC-XXX-2-C appears to utilize these systems in order to compensate for its lack of ranged capabilities in terms of conventional weapons, instead using a large blade exclusively. Due to the size and estimated weight of this blade, it is currently unknown how RPC-XXX-2-C is able to wield it.
RPC-XXX-2-D stands approximately 173 cm tall. RPC-XXX-2-D is noticeably slower than it's counterparts, bearing an estimated top speed of 40 K/pH. While RPC-XXX-2-D utilizes weapons which qualify as small arms, few of these weapons make use of conventional ballistics. RPC-XXX-2-D appears to specialize in explosive weapons, most of its arsenal consisting of grenade and rocket launchers. RPC-XXX-2-D is currently considered the only RPC-XXX-2 instance capable of surface to air combat, possessing an anti-aircraft cannon built into it's chassis.
RPC-XXX-2-E stands approximately 160 cm tall, with an estimated top speed of 100 K/pH. Unlike its counterparts, RPC-XXX-2-E does not appear to possess traditional weaponry of any kind. RPC-XXX-2-E instead utilizes a mechanism built into its hands, allowing it to pick up and suspend small to medium sized objects in front of itself before firing them in any direction at an average approximate speed of 320 K/pH. A secondary function of this system appears to allow RPC-XXX-2-E nullify incoming projectiles and suspend them similarly to a regular object, making conventional ballistic fire largely ineffective.
Addendum-XXX-01:
The following is a transcript of a recording taken from a phone call to the provided number on RPC-XXX.
Interviewer: Junior Researcher ████████
Foreword: Call was monitored with standard equipment.

Interviewer: █████ ████████, ██/██/2019, Earth, and I'm not sure what exactly you mean by that last one. Who exactly is this?
RPC-XXX-1: 2019, Earth, and no MSP yet… Okay, I've got you. Your account number is 869-384-9875. Don't forget it. Who's the target?
Interviewer: Target? Excuse me?
RPC-XXX-1: Pal, it's in the name. Turbo killers, what do you think it means? Who are we going after?
Interviewer: I was hoping I could just understand exactly what-
RPC-XXX-1: Hey, do you understand "business inquiries only"? I hate you twenty-first century assholes, you deserved the UCO's early shit. Call back when you have a job for us, got it?
[Call is ended by RPC-XXX-1]
<End Log>
Closing Statement:
Interviewer: Junior Researcher ████████
Foreword: Prior to this call, a small abandoned structure located on an Authority weapons testing site was populated with armed CSD personnel. All CSD personnel were tasked with protecting CSD-935081, who resided in the building's top floor.

Interviewer: I do. CSD-935081.
RPC-XXX-1: Yeah, that's all well and good, but can I get an actual name?
Interviewer: ███████ ███.
RPC-XXX-1: Age?
Interviewer: 38 years old.
RPC-XXX-1: So young, huh? …Alright, I've got him. Reason?
Interviewer: Excuse me?
RPC-XXX-1: Ah, it's kind of a moral thing. Our operatives are a little picky these days, y'know?
Interviewer: Uh, he's got a life sentence?
RPC-XXX-1: I need a specific reason. What did he do, pal?
[Pause, interviewer looks up CSD-935081's incarceration reason.]
RPC-XXX-1: You still there?
Interviewer: Yeah, I'm here. He murdered someone.
RPC-XXX-1: Ah, revenge for a friend or loved one, eh? Yeah that's probably fine. We'll call you back to discuss payment afterwards. Thank you for your business.
[Call ended by RPC-XXX-1]

Containment Protocols: RPC‑XXX is currently contained within a 4 x 6 x 2 meter plot of soil, located inside a specially marked greenhouse within Site‑███. The greenhouse is to have its automatic watering system disabled outside of testing. Soil from this plot is not to be removed from the greenhouse under any circumstances, nor is soil permitted to be added at any time without proper authorization.
RPC-XXX’s containment greenhouse is to be outfitted with an advanced air filtration and purification system. The installed filtration system must be activated after two months without the creation of an RPC-XXX-2 instance.
Creation of new RPC‑XXX‑2 instances for testing purposes must be approved by one level 4 personnel. Created instances of RPC‑XXX‑2 must be observed by the personnel they have bonded to at all times or remain within the personnel's living quarters. Personnel bonded to RPC‑XXX‑2 instances are required to provide them with adequate food and water, in order to avoid self‑inflicted termination.
‑‑‑‑‑‑
Discovery: RPC‑XXX was discovered after numerous reports of unpleasant odors and sounds of multiple unauthorized residents coming from an apartment on ██ ██████████ Ave. Local authority figures were amnesticized following a police report detailing three RPC‑XXX‑2 instances devouring the owner of the apartment. It was later discovered the subject had been growing RPC‑XXX‑2 instances out of a cardboard box filled with soil, infected by RPC‑XXX. Subject was reportedly showing signs of malnourishment and lack of sleep up to a month prior to their death.
‑‑‑‑‑‑
Description: RPC‑XXX is a microorganism existing in common soil, capable of self‑replication. When soil containing RPC‑XXX comes into contact with non‑infected soil, RPC‑XXX will begin to replicate, contaminating the non‑infected soil and creating more of itself. RPC‑XXX appears only able to exist within soil, decaying rapidly upon being moved to a different substance or surface. When human flesh comes into contact with RPC‑XXX infected soil, it will begin to form a severe rash at the point of contact.
RPC-XXX will form one plant sprout for every 3² meters of soil surface area once a week, designated instances of RPC-XXX-1. RPC-XXX-1 instances resemble common Dionaea muscipula (Venus flytrap) plants, with minor variations in length of stem and structure of teeth. When a human subject comes within range of RPC-XXX-1’s stem length, it will snap at the closest of the subject in question, often drawing blood.
If two months pass without an instance of RPC-XXX-1 acquiring a sample of a human subject’s bodily fluids, RPC-XXX will begin producing an airborne pheromone. This pheromone will trigger a psychological response in any human subjects coming into contact with it, causing an intense and irresistible desire to get close to RPC-XXX-1.
Once RPC-XXX-1 obtains a sample of blood, or any other bodily fluid, it will cease all hostilities. This marks the beginning of RPC-XXX-1’s maturing stage. RPC-XXX-1 will burrow itself into the ground for roughly a week during this process. If RPC-XXX-1 is physically disturbed or unearthed during this process, the process will stop and the RPC-XXX-1 instance will perish. During this maturing process, RPC-XXX-1 requires excessive watering and feeding, upwards of 2 liters and 750 calories worth of plant feed every day. It should be noted that the human subject RPC-XXX-1 has obtained bodily fluids from will feel an intense psychological need to tend to RPC-XXX-1’s requirements during this period.
Following the maturing period, RPC-XXX-1 will emerge from it’s burrowing spot. The resulting specimen has been designated RPC-XXX-2. RPC-XXX-2 will abandon it’s stem in favor of a humanoid body, while the structure of it’s head will remain similar to that of RPC-XXX-1. The bodily structure of RPC-XXX-2 will resemble what the human subject reports their “ideal partner” to resemble, sharing many of the desired physical proportions. RPC-XXX-2 possesses no sexual organs.
Following the creation of an RPC-XXX-2 instance, the affected human subject will feel an intense desire to return to the plot of soil RPC-XXX-2 was born from. Upon uniting with the instance, the subject will go to great lengths in order to remain with RPC-XXX-2, or make frequent visits. When allowed frequent contact with RPC-XXX-2, a subjects devotion to RPC-XXX-2 will only grow stronger, typically reaching its maximum after a full day of exposure with minimal to no interruptions. Subjects will typically prioritize RPC-XXX-2’s comfort over their own basic needs at this point, refusing to eat anything before RPC-XXX-2 has been properly fed for the day.
RPC-XXX-2 will consume both normal human foods and plant food. Typically, a fully matured instance of RPC-XXX-2 will consume 2000-4000 calories in a day. Human subjects bonded to RPC-XXX-2 instances will outright refuse to consume any food before RPC-XXX-2 has consumed it’s daily amount of calories. This will typically lead to malnutrition in subjects who are unable to secure a sustainable amount of food every day, followed by death via starvation. Upon a human subject’s death, RPC-XXX-2 will begin consuming the subject’s corpse, typically over the course of 1-2 months.
