Containment Protocols
Due to the widespread of RPC-936 instances, and the dangers of their transportation, containment is inadvisable. As such, anomalous containment agencies such as the Authority and Monarch Security are to prioritize information quarantine and disinformation campaigns affiliated with RPC-936. Research on the history of RPC-936 instances are to be headed by the Authority's Department of Cryptozoological Studies, and psychical research of instances are to be headed by the Loch Cataloging Corporation's (LCC) Biology Department. Research into physical containment is ongoing.
Due to their special ability, members of the Loch Cataloging Corporation, are to be given unfettered access to RPC-936
RPC-XXX web-crawler 'PLESIOSAUR' is to monitor the internet for any actual information being posted, exact details on what counts as actual information can be requested.
Instances of RPC-936 are to remain in their place of discovery. Said instances are to be individually monitored by separate Authority/MI13 operated satellites with thermal viewing. If any RPC-936 instances become aggressive and leave its place of rest, JST Alpha-51 "Maritime Archaeologists" is to be dispatched with tranquilizers.
Should information regarding RPC-936 be leaked, Authority Central Intelligence or Monarch Security is to dismiss said information as a hoax and contain any real evidence of RPC-936. In the case of a civilian spotting an instance of RPC-936, the subject is to be monitored, if deemed a significant threat to secrecy, they are to be taken into custody, questioned, and administered amnestics.

Termination of RPC-936 has been proposed by the Authority, though due to bureaucratic opposition by the LCC, it has been postponed indefinitely.
Description
RPC-936 is the designation for an anomalous species with the ability to change its psychical appearance, skeletal system, and its brain structure. Currently, most instances of RPC-936, appear to take on the form of that of a Plesiosauria, a pre-historic Dinosauria from the late Triassic period. The reasoning for the said form is unknown, as it appears to harm RPC-936's diet and psychical capabilities.
The ability to transform appears to come from the brain, as separated flesh cannot change. Samples of flesh from RPC-936 show no anomalous properties, besides numerous veins, which appear to be connected to the brain.
Instances in an aquatic body appear to have an average speed of that of 0.4 m/s (1.44 km/h) as well as having average speed on land of that of 0.1 m/s (0.36 km/h) on land.
The regularity living place of the RPC-936 are often lakes and rivers, tempering to 6°C - 9°C, with an average depth of 3.2 KM. The exact evolutionary reason for said habitats instead of the open ocean is a subject of research, the leading theory is competitors over food.
The average diet of instances consists of multiple species of common fish, multiple types of plants, and if given the opportunity, smaller aquatic fish and mammals, as well as Homo Sapiens.

The reason for aggressive behavior in instances appears to have no definitive causes, but as humans attacked are often placed into the instances place of living, it is highly likely it is due to lack of food. The way of killing is usually that of biting into the torso of the subject, often splitting the body of the subject in half.
Due to their anomalous properties, geological differences and places of resting, accurate measurements for RPC-936 instances cannot be determined, though the average total length is that of 26 meters (85 feet), with a neck length of 12 meters (39 feet), which contains 42 cervical vertebrae.
Addendum 936.01. Discovery
RPC-936 has been hypothesized to have existed for multiple millennia - the oldest known recorded sighting of what seems to be RPC-936 was written by Adamnán of Iona in the year 565, the following is an excerpt:
Directorate for Historical and Pseudohistorical Studies
"Concerning a certain water beast driven away by the power of the blessed man's prayer.
Also at another time when the blessed man was for lumber of days in the province of the Picts, he had to cross [Loch Ness]. When lie reached its bank, he saw a poor fellow being buried by other inhabitants; and the buriers said that, while swimming not long before, he had been seized and most savagely bitten by a water beast.
[…]
Feeling the water above disturbed by Lugne's swimming, it suddenly swam up to the surface, and with gaping mouth and with great roaring rushed towards the man swimming in the middle of the stream.
While all that was there, barbarians and even the brothers, were struck down with extreme terror, the blessed man, who was watching, raised his holy hand and drew the saving sign of the cross in the empty air; and then, invoking the name of God, he commanded the savage beast, and said: "You will go no further. Do not touch the man; turn back speedily".
Then, hearing this command of the saint, the beast, as if pulled back with ropes, fled terrified in swift retreat; although it had before approached so close to Lugne as he swam that there was no more than the length of one short pole between man and beast.
Then seeing that the beast had withdrawn and that their fellow-soldier Lugne had returned to them unharmed and safe, in the boat, the brothers with great amazement glorified God in the blessed man. And also the pagan barbarians who were there at the time, impelled by the magnitude of this miracle that they themselves had seen, magnified the God of the Christians."
Note: A Christian/Catholic connection has yet to be confirmed, however, there is a slight possible RPC-936-1 more specifically and RPC-936, in general, could be connected to Scottish Catholicism. Further research is required. - Senior Researcher Dr. Perrin, Department of Cryptozoological Studies
The modern finding of RPC-936 which led to the actual discovery was a project set up by the Loch Cataloging Corporation in the year 2003, which took three years. The discovery of multiple specimens was found shortly afterward, after knowledge of the methods used by the LCC spread throughout the anomalous community, following this massive discovery, Monarch Security got involved who subsequently called in the Authority.
Addendum 936.0█: Incident/Testing Log (№ 2)
XXX
Addendum 936.01. Termination Audit, ██/██/████
Following the events outlined at incident 936-6-1, the Department of Cryptozoological Studies prompted propositions for a termination form of all instances related to RPC-936.
The following is an audio transcript between Dr. Perrin T., Agent Robey, and Jacob C.
[BEGIN LOG]
[RPC] Dr. Perrin: Good day, gentlemen. It's a pleasure to meet you all.
[MI13] Agent Robey: You too.
[RPC] Dr. Perrin: [Clears throat] On today's agenda, as you are all aware, there have been recent debacles with the nine-three-six instances. With that, I am proposing for-
[LCC] Jacob C.: [Interrupts] All of them were trespassing on their territory. We could've left them alone, but you chose not to. Considering our personnel can communicate peacefully, maybe your people, I don't know, learn to not piss it off?
[RPC] Dr. Perrin: [Leans closer] See, here's the thing Jacob. You won't tell us how to do that.
[LCC] Jacob C: It's called being respectful to their territory, but for your bureaucrats, that's probably too difficult.
[RPC] Dr. Perrin: Anyways, what are we getting out of nine-three-six? More bodies, nothing more. So, I'm proposing a termination request of nine-three-six.
[LCC] Jacob C: [Raises tone, visibly surprised) Are- are you fucking insane? You've invaded its land and now you want to send it to the gallows?
[MI13] Agent Robey: Now, now. I do think termination is excessive, Perrin. There are other solutions to explore.
[RPCA] Dr. Perrin: Like what?
[MI13] Agent Robey: Well, that's what this meeting is for isn't it?
[LCC] Jacob C: [Sighs heavily] Yes, what Agent Robey said. Termination is out of the table, and will never be considered. Do you get that?
[RPC] Dr. Perrin: Yeah. I get it.
[MI13] Agent Robey: Well then, let's take a short break to ease the tension here.
[END LOG]
Closing Statement: Well, all I could say is that we've got nothing out of that meeting. It looked like Jacob was gonna start a fight with Perrin, judging by his tone and his attitude after he requested a termination on nine-three-six. Needless to say, everything is gonna remain the same until something more eventful occurs with nine-three-six.
- Dr. Perrin T.
