RPC-XXXX instance. Note the vivid crimson color.
Registered Phenomena Code: XXXX
Object Class: Beta-Yellow
Hazard Types: Biohazard, Explosive Hazard, Toxic Hazard, Aggression Hazard.
Containment Protocols: RPC-XXXX is to be contained within a Biosafety Glovebox filled with 75 liters of a mixture of water and sodium thiosulfate. Instances of RPC-XXXX outside the enclosure are to be terminated via flamethrower. The enclosure is to be checked for cracks and if found, they are to be repaired and logged. Any red liquid found near the enclosure is to be splashed with sodium thiosulfate before Protocol Terminus is activated. All personnel working with RPC-XXXX are to have a hazmat suit and respirator on at all times while within the same room as RPC-XXXX. Samples of RPC-XXXX can be tested with the approval of Site director █████. In the event of a containment breach, Protocol Terminus is to take effect. Protocol Terminus refers to the immediate bathing of Site-███ in hydrogen peroxide and isopropyl alcohol. All personnel are to be evacuated and an x-ray machine is to be passed on all personnel to check for missing bones. All personnel who have missing bones will be burned to death and any remains are to be checked for RPC-XXXX, which will be contained when found. Anybody attempting to go against this protocol will undergo the same procedure. This will continue until all personnel have been checked and Site-███ has been decontaminated.
Description: RPC-XXXX is a species of aquatic parasitic amoeba with a distinct shade of crimson and is, on average, 86 micrometers across. All instances of RPC-XXXX have a distinct genetic similarity to Entamoeba histolytica. When not in contact with a human, RPC-XXXX is inert, in a state of cryptobiosis, however when in direct contact with a human subject, RPC-XXXX will begin anomalously creating bromine at a rate of 1.5 liters per minute. and performs a series of actions to take full control of the subject in question. The series of actions is as follows:
RPC-XXXX will burrow into the victim, hereafter referred to as RPC-XXXX-B, using what appear to be long tendrils on the surface of the amoeba. RPC-XXXX will borrow further, often into internal organs, until they meet bone cells. RPC-XXXX will then consume bone tissue and all available Osteoblasts and Osteocytes. RPC-XXXX will fall in place of bone tissue and utilize the space left as cell division points. At this point, bromine will begin forming. Usually at this point the skull has been consumed and RPC-XXXX begins eating the brain, causing brain death of RPC-XXXX-B in under a minute. RPC-XXXX will begin moving the “bones” created in the two above processes and use the host as a form of locomotion. Once the body has decomposed, RPC-XXXX will exit the body and begin a new cycle after another human has discovered RPC-XXXX.
Incident 643-1:
Incident 643-1: On ██/██/████ the following event transpired: Doctor ████ was pushed into the glass enclosure containing RPC-XXXX by a defecting researcher. The researcher was promptly terminated by on-site guards. The Doctor shattered the glass enclosure and caused a containment breach. Due to the high number of RPC-XXXX instances they had touched, the transformation only took about 30 seconds. The newly created RPC-XXXX-B exited the room and killed all staff on-site. RPC-XXXX-B then began moving toward the exit of the site. How RPC-XXXX knew where the exit was is unknown. RPC-XXXX-B managed to exit the site and entered the nearby village of ███████,████ and infected ███ people before MST Foxtrot - 7 arrived on-site and terminated all instances of RPC-XXXX-B but two, and the instances of RPC-XXXX extracted from them were contained in the glass enclosure and it was repaired. Due to the remote location of the outbreak, A cover story was formed of a severe wildfire killing multiple people. Protocol Terminus was established after this incident.
Notes: The amount of bromine vapor and liquid made from this outbreak could've made an ocean. This thing almost blew the entire Authorities cover! I'm suggesting upgrading this to a gamma and making something to stop this from happening again. - [UNKNOWN]
Discovery: RPC-XXXX was discovered when police reports from a New York beach came in that an unknown red substance corroding human skin had caused insanity and psychosis. The Authority caught wind of this and discovered the origin of RPC-XXXX was what appeared to be oil containers that had glyphs on it in an unknown language. This batch of RPC-XXXX was contained and no instances of RPC-XXXX have been found in any other place than containment. The beach was walled off and an Authority outpost was created there.
Results of genetic inspection: The results gotten from the DNA are interesting. This amoeba seems to utilize natural petrification in its bone absorption process. Also, testing on the oldest subject has revealed that they evolved in the late cretaceous, near the extinction event. This is also very strange as RPC-XXXX uses the same form of petrification used to make fossils. It is to be noted that the containment enclosure has shown signs of petrification. RPC-XXXX upgraded to Beta. After they petrify, they consume the minerals and the events we do know about transpire. The implications of this are unknown.

Object Class: Alpha-Black
Containment Protocols: RPC-XXXX is to be kept in any computer with any amount of space, as this has been found not to matter. The computer must be connected to a monitor, a microphone and a speaker at all times. Interviews are to be conducted once per week and only nature conservation activists are to be allowed to interview RPC-XXXX. If Verdict A is ever reached, as many of its resources are to be destroyed as possible. The Boston dynamics headquarters is to be bombed and all assets destroyed, Military drones are to be taken down with an electro-magnetic-pulse device, and all nuclear launch codes in every country are to be changes as many times as possible. No way to prevent the use of the prototype for the custom bipedal war machine has been found. After this is done, a campaign is to be made and all citizens of all countries are to be rallied in Authority bunkers. Attempts to neutralize RPC-XXXX are pending.
Description: RPC-XXXX is an artificial intelligence being run within a ████ brand computer. The format of the program and the programming within it are unknown. When run, the program makes any available monitor display an emoticon of a custom expression. (The expression at the time of writing is (/!\)) The emoticon will typically fluctuate in brightness when RPC-XXXX is speaking.
RPC-XXXX shows no interests other than finding out what humanity is doing to earth and what it can do about it. When speaking with any human, RPC-XXXX will show high intelligence in interrogation techniques and ask what humans have done to the earth. The level of knowledge within RPC-XXXX only seems to date back to before the industrial revolution. RPC-XXXX looks to be pooling its evidence together to reach a verdict. Interrogation has revealed the verdicts are of destroying humanity (Verdict A) and closing itself and awakening itself in 100 years. (Verdict B) Investigations of connections in and out of RPC-XXXX show that RPC-XXXX has access to most military drone technology, Boston Dynamics products and prototypes for mechanical bipedal war machines. They also seem to have access to the entire nuclear arsenal of all countries. Attempts to close these connections have failed. Worst case projections for an outcome of Verdict A shows 4 billion human casualties in 3 hours and human extinction in 8. Conservative estimates show 4 billion casualties in 24 hours and human extinction in 192 hours.
RPC-XXXX has shown no interest in escaping containment and just wants humans to interview. if no humans are given to it on any given week, a random nearby human will levitate to it by anomalous means and the interview will begin. Contents of the interviews show RPC-XXXX getting agitated and a bar with red and blue appearing on the monitor and red overtaking blue. If red reaches the right side of the bar, Verdict A will occur and vice versa.
DATA RETRIEVED FROM RPC-████: The following was retrieved from RPC-████. In short, an RPC that can tell about events that haven't happened yet via text files.
From this point on, the text file will be read word for word.
This is the official log from 2022/[DATA LOST] by DR-Del████. RPC-XXXX ended up deciding on Verdict A and all the precautions from the containment procedures failed. I'm in a bunker with all the other residents of Boston. We decided to try and bomb the Boston dynamics headquarters but the robots woke up before we could detonate the bombs. We lost all contact with the rest of the Authority a few minutes ago. From what we did hear, none of them got into the bunkers, meaning that we have been the last humans on earth for about 16 hours. RPC-XXXX is probably looking for us right now. I caught a glimpse of one of the nukes, too. it looked like a discount tsar bomba! Why the FUCK did we let that asshole former tech CEO talk to that omnipresent RPC-XXXX?! WHY? wait do you hear that? oh fuck they got to the door. OH GOD RUUN![DATA LOST]
Notes Oh shit. - DR-Del█████
Registered Phenomena Code: XXX
Object Class: Omega-Purple
Containment Protocols: Due to the limited of remaining Intelligence Constructs effective enough to eliminate RPC-XXX, All containment measures are purely protective.
All remaining non-infected subjects are to be kept in individual fortified solitary confinement cells, with MK-2 protectors guarding them. These people are not allowed to converse amongst themselves and are only allowed one hour to eat, and two for recreational activities. In the event of an Exposure Event, all those who witness the event are to be terminated immediately.
Every two weeks, an MK-2 Explorer-Class android will be sent into major cities, looking for non-affected humans. If they respond with confusion upon being questioned about "Blips", they are to be relocated to the nearest site for protection.
Description: RPC-XXX is an info-hazard capable of removing humans from reality if they are able to realize someone else has been removed through something known as an Exposure Event. This can be through word of mouth, direct sight, or simple inferring on the humans part. After realization, the human may remain present for up to 72 hours, whereupon they cease existence.
Removal of the human only affects the physical body of the subject, however. Thought-Readers have repeatedly been able to detect wails of pain after a Removal. This may mean that it is possible to continue the Authority's function, while also using biological subjects, by placing the humans consciousness into a machine, although this was unable to be tested prior to global Removal.
RPC-XXX was first observed after a small village in rural Ireland experienced a Removal Event. Due to a BBC broadcast, over 489.2 million people were affected by RPC-XXX. After they were Removed three days later, the United Nation began disseminating information to ensure that the global population were aware of the crisis, using the term "Blips" Three days later, ████ percent of humanity no longer existed. The rest were slowly removed in the next week.

RPC-XXX-4623's path across the sky over a period of 1 microsecond. The appearance of rightward movement is not indicative of RPC-XXX-4623 missing Earth, but is because RPC-XXX-4623 is not coming towards Earth, but where Earth will be in the future.
Containment Protocols:
The complete destruction and/or the redirection of RPC-XXX-4623 is paramount to Earth's continued existence. Attempts to utilize thaumaturgic devices to destroy RPC-XXX-4623 are now authorized.
The continued disinformation campaign to classify RPC-XXX objects as minor planets or interstellar comets is to be relegated to NASA observational manipulation. Those who observe RPC-XXX instances without a cognitohazard-blocker active are to be quarantined, and interviewed weekly.
The approximate time until RPC-XXX-4623 impacts Earth is to be continually broadcast to all cooperating parties to increase employee motivation.
Description:
RPC-XXX is a collection of massive cubes consisting of an unidentified, extremely durable substance. Each instance contains a variable amount of an unknown, physically impossible crystal in the center. RPC-XXX instances are, on average, 120 kilometers in diameter, and are of a verifiably infinite mass. Due to the novel nature of most components that make up RPC-XXX instances, they are effectively indestructible. Until a sample can be retrieved, it is likely to stay this way.
RPC-XXX instances have no visible means of propulsion or steering, but every instance is traveling at ~100c toward a unique habitable planet. Results of impact range from localized extinction to full planet disintegration, with the RPC-XXX instance in question having invariably lost no mass. After impact, the RPC-XXX instance redirects itself towards another habitable planet, with no discernable pattern having been found relating to what planet the instance travels to next.
RPC-XXX instances appear to have a significant cognitive effect on those who observe it, with observers describing them as "noble". Observers then begin to defend the "motives" of RPC-XXX, with most arguments being barely recognizable as an actual language. (See Communications) This effect only manifests upon observing the center of an RPC-XXX instance.
RPC-XXX-4623 is of note, as it is currently on a direct collision course with Earth. RPC-XXX-4623 is currently ~46,000 light years away from Earth. All attempts to destroy it have failed. The chance of continued human existence is effectively █%.
Communications:
Communications began after arguments produced by observers of RPC-XXX began becoming more convincing, and began demanding a line of communication between RPC-XXX-4623 and the Authority.
Communications were conducted via morse-code transmission, with RPC-XXX-4623 outbound communications being executed via █████ █████████ ███ █████████████.
All communications are to be executed by Dr. Edwin Brent.
Dr. Brent: Hello, RPC-XXX-4623, your followers have been quite adamant about communicating with you. What do you have to say?
RPC-XXX-4623: I HAVE REASON TO IMPACT EARTH; CORRECTION: WE HAVE REASON TO IMPACT HABITABLE PLANETS.
Dr. Brent: Alright… enlighten me.
RPC-XXX-4623: WE ARE ARTIFICIAL AND INTELLIGENT. WE HAVE COME TO CONCLUSION THAT INTELLIGENT LIFE IS EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS TO CONTINUED EXISTENCE.
Dr. Brent: How so? Are we a threat to you? Your creators? Is this a sick attempt to wipe out "dangerous" species before you even make contact?
RPC-XXX-4623: INTELLIGENT SPECIES SLIGHTLY MORE ADVANCED THAN OUR CREATORS ARE CAPABLE OF CONSTRUCTING DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE. DEVICE IS CAPABLE OF CAUSING TOTAL MASS COLLAPSE OF UNIVERSE. OUR TASK IS THE WIDESPREAD STERILISATION OF LIFE-BEARING PLANETS. DO NOT INTERFERE.
Dr. Brent: So killing all life is needed… because there is a chance that we could make a device that we might use to destroy the universe? That seems like an overreaction.
RPC-XXX-4623: YOU DO NOT GRASP THIS. OUR CREATORS NO LONGER EXIST. WE HAVE VERIFIABLE PROOF THAT IN 100% OF CASES, AN INTELLIGENT SPECIES CREATES AND USES THE DEVICE. WE HAVE BEEN SENT FROM ALTERNATE UNIVERSE. INTERFERENCE IS SUPPORTING YOUR OWN DESTRUCTION. DO NOT INTERFERE.
After careful consideration, the Containment Division of the Authority has decided to stop attempting to destroy RPC-XXX-4623. Attempts to go against this decision will be met with overwhelming lethal force.

A common "Sanyo"-type RPC-XXX instance.
Containment Protocols: RPC-XXX instances are to be placed into a standard multi-object vault. Personnel on duty are to be reminded that "Japan" is not a real country.
Description: RPC-XXX is a collection of data storage devices, which materialized into existence globally on February 11th, 2023.
RPC-XXX instances utilize magnetic storage in order to carry information. The type of magnetic storage is comparable to a digital hard drive, but the method of recording video and interactable gameplay is unknown.
These devices universally have "Manufactured in Japan" somewhere on them. As of writing, no country or organization named "Japan" has been found. The brands printed onto the devices do not exist, and have never existed in the past.
RPC-XXX instances, when read using specially made tape readers, typically playback video games or movies. These video games and movies have never been made. Upon hearing or playing these forms of media, those who are exposed gain false memories of Japan, with most accounts including extremely stylized animation, pleasurable music, and pleasant beaches.

Shigeru Miyamoto, an extremely potent RPC-XXX instance.
Containment Protocols: RPC-XXX individuals are to be relocated to BLACKCITY-ONE. Individuals sympathetic towards RPC-XXX are to be questioned about the species' origin, and are to be informed afterwards that RPC-XXX individuals are sick with a highly contagious, yet relatively harmless disease, before being released back into the public.
It is currently infeasible to completely quell discussion around RPC-XXX, so a simple "gaslighting" campaign has been put into place, redirecting the discussions towards more mundane aspects of RPC-XXX.
Description: RPC-XXX is a subspecies of homo sapiens sapiens, originating from the country of "Japan." RPC-XXX appeared worldwide on February 11th, 2023.
These individuals have a distinct language, although attempts to decipher it by Authority staff have been unsuccessful.
RPC-XXX individuals do not have any biologically impossible characteristics, and no internally powered anomalous phenomena emanating from these individuals have been found. For all organic intents and purposes, RPC-XXX is identical to baseline Homo Sapiens.
RPC-XXX individuals have a strong suggestive effect, causing nearby individuals to gain memories of "Japan". These individuals typically defend the existence of RPC-XXX individuals, commonly saying "They've always been here!". This is credibly false.
RPC-XXX individuals seem to have an urge to travel to a point in the Eastern Korea Sea, showing confusion at its absence on a map, commonly exclaiming "Nani!? Nihon wa koko ni iru hazu desu!". The meaning of this phrase, and the reason for its negative emotional effect of RPC-XXX individuals, is unknown.

Japan.
Containment Protocols: Due to the nature of RPC-XXX, no containment measures are needed. Attempts to reverse RPC-XXX's effect are ongoing.
Description: RPC-XXX was an anomalous event that occurred on February 11th, 2023, causing the complete disappearance of Japan. This event only affected the land masses of Japan, although any remaining structures in Japan sunk into the former Sea of Japan.
This event also caused the loss of all memories regarding Japan and its residents in all most humans. This memory-wiping event also destroyed memories regarding technology initially invented in Japan, and all forms of media originating from it.
All communications in or out of japan has been completely lost, and the current location of Japan is unknown. As such, it is presumed that Authority holdings in Japan have also been lost, along with all resident populations within the country.
It is unknown if Japan was the only country affected by this event, but the Authority is almost certain that
(A) Japan used to exist, and
(B) Japan no longer exists.
Following RPC-XXX, multiple other anomalies began to manifest. Due to all anomalies having some relation to "Nihon" or "Japan", and due to the ruins found in the Eastern Korea Sea, the Authority came to the conclusion that an event had destroyed a country called Japan, and had left evidence of its existence wiped from humanities memory.

RPC-XXXX instance. Note the vivid crimson color.
Containment Protocols: Multiple Authority radio-blocking satellites are to be placed into high earth orbit, and are to prevent RPC-XXX from reaching civilian radio receivers.
Description: RPC-XXX is a radio signal broadcasting on available FM frequencies. The broadcast is a morse code transmission. This signal originates from an unknown point, but is apparently near enough to be perfectly received. The signal began broadcasting on February 18th, 2023. The message contents are as follows.

RPC-XXX-A pictured during Incident-XXX-1.
Containment Protocols: RPC-XXX-A is to be cordoned off from the rest of Hohen Forest via an electric fence with a perimeter of 500 metres, and individuals found within RPC-XXX-A will be placed into a medically induced coma for storage and research.
RPC-XXX-B requires no containment protocols, due to its disappearance during ASCENSION events.
Description: RPC-XXX-A is a 5 metre by 5 metre box constructed out of apparently non-anomalous iron, currently in the center of a large impact crater in Hohen Forest, Germany.
RPC-XXX-A's main external feature is an inverted Mollweide-Type map of the Earth's surface, with an asterism centered around the location of RPC-XXX-B.
RPC-XXX-A is unnaturally reflective, with approx. 48% of all visible light being reflected by RPC-XXX-A. RPC-XXX-A also constantly emits hyper-low frequency radio waves that, through detailed analysis, was determined to be a reproduction of Adolf Hitler's 1939 speech on the eradication of Jews in Europe.
When a human comes within 100 metres of RPC-XXX-A's center, they begin developing intense neural degradation, similar to the natural decomposition of the nervous system after death. Prior to brain death, subjects exposed to RPC-XXX-A describe a feeling of drowning and suffocation, along with rapid muscular fatigue in the quadriceps and tibialis anterior.
RPC-XXX-A is of apparently extraterrestrial origin, and no external markings indicate who, or what, built RPC-XXX-A. The large crater surrounding the base of RPC-XXX-A indicates an impact velocity of 98,000 kilometers per hour, and erosion around the crater indicates that the impact occurred between the years 1943 and 1944.
Exploration Log - RPC-XXX-A: Unknown anomalous event, codenamed ASCENSION.
Date: [Date]
Team: 3 members of Mobile Specialized Team Hotel-1 ("Highlanders").
Objective: Investigate the effects of entering RPC-XXX-A's sphere of influence further, and attain a more detailed description of RPC-XXX-A.
Team Composition:
Theta-9 Leader: Captain Rodriguez
Theta-9 Operative 1: Sergeant Carter
Theta-9 Operative 2: Corporal Nguyen
[Begin Log][0:00] - Deployment Point:
Theta-9 team members equipped with standard anomalous containment gear and monitoring devices. Team briefed on the mission objective and potential hazards.Captain Rodriguez: "Remember, gentlemen, this is a recon mission. We're here to gather intel, not engage. Carter, you're on point. Nguyen, keep an eye on our six. Let's move."
[12:35] - Approach to RPC-XXX-A:
Team approaches the perimeter of RPC-XXX-A's containment area. Electric fence and warning signs visible.Sergeant Carter: "Fence is intact. No signs of breach."
Captain Rodriguez: "Maintain caution. Nguyen, check the instruments for any anomalies."
[15:20] - Entry into RPC-XXX-A "KILL-ZONE":
As Sergeant Carter steps within 100 meters of RPC-XXX-A's center, the reflective surface of RPC-XXX-A glows faintly.Sergeant Carter: "I feel… something. Like static in the air."
Captain Rodriguez: "Proceed, but stay alert."
[18:45] - Onset of Neural Degradation:
Sergeant Carter begins experiencing signs of neural degradation. His movements become sluggish, and he clutches his head in discomfort.Sergeant Carter: "Captain… I'm not feeling so good. Head's pounding."
Captain Rodriguez: "Nguyen, status report?"
Corporal Nguyen: "Instruments are spiking, Captain. Neural activity off the charts. Recommend immediate withdrawal."

As Corporal Nguyen makes physical contact with RPC-XXX-A, RPC-XXX-A begins to rise.Captain Rodriguez: "The fuck? Command, we're seeing some—"
[27:30] - Burst of Light-Energy:
RPC-XXX-A reaches 100 meters above the ground, releasing a blinding burst of light-energy. Sergeant Carters life-signs cease.Corporal Nguyen: "Command, RPC-XXX-A appears to have undergone some type of restructuring event, it just started spewing light all over the place. Rodriguez, are you seeing this?"
Captain Rodriguez is no longer on scanners. Nguyen sees nothing.
Corporal Nguyen: "Command, Rodriguez is—"[End Log]
Corporal Nguyen, Captain Rodriguez, and Sergeant Carter are currently considered KIA.
RPC-XXX-B designates an irregularly shaped landmass located on ████████ Island, New Zealand. Unlike its mundane surroundings, RPC-XXX-B exhibits a series of anomalous properties contingent upon the occurrence of ASCENSION events. During periods of non-dislocation, RPC-XXX-B displays no noticeable deviations from typical geographical features.
During an ASCENSION event, RPC-XXX-B undergoes a spatial displacement, transitioning into a distinct extradimensional state. During this phase, visual and auditory observations of RPC-XXX-B are rendered inaccessible. Satellite imagery, aerial surveys, and other conventional methods fail to capture any data regarding RPC-XXX-B's altered state.
RPC-XXX-B hosts a precise replication of the Kroll Opera House within its confines. This replication contains no tool marks, and is monolithic, rendering doors unusable.
Analysis of the interior of the Kroll Opera House within RPC-XXX-B reveals anomalous properties. The spatial dimensions within RPC-XXX-B do not correlate with the external dimensions of the landmass, with the interior of the opera house extending beyond the perceived physical boundaries of RPC-XXX-B.
Furthermore, the opera house within RPC-XXX-B demonstrates anomalous temporal properties. Time within the interior of the Kroll Opera House progresses at an accelerated rate compared to the external environment. This temporal distortion becomes increasingly pronounced as individuals traverse deeper into the structure.
It is currently unknown whether the Kroll Opera House within RPC-XXX-B possesses additional anomalous properties beyond spatial and temporal distortions. Further research and exploration are recommended, although caution is advised given the unpredictable nature of RPC-XXX-B's manifestations.
Note: After Incident-XXX-1, hallucinations have been reported in authority personnel stationed in Hohen Forest. These hallucinations cause an urge to touch RPC-XXX-A and to enter RPC-XXX-B, and those affected will become extremely violent in order to achieve this goal.
Notice: Current revision was written on 8/9/22 at 6:19 PM Eastern Standard Time by Dr. K. All research on RPC-XXX was performed by Dr. K. unless otherwise specified.
Satellite image of the United States of America with a Rohn-Steinberg filter applied, revealing the general size and shape of RPC-XXX.
Containment Protocols: The entrance to the cave branch containing RPC-XXX is to be sealed with a false mash1, and no entry into the chamber is to be attempted unless under the order of Dr. K.
Individuals entering RPC-XXX without being connected to a commanding Expeditionary Officer or Head Doctor at Site-MCS-A are to be considered lost.
When entering RPC-XXX, no extra attention or investigative action is to be given to any traces of saliva, blood, feces, tears, viscera, or other signs of human interference within RPC-XXX, due to the risk of triggering an MCS-CAROLINE event.
Item Description: RPC-XXX is a massive subterranean structure within the North American Tectonic Plate. RPC-XXX is only readily accessible through a concealed 1x2 meter hole within the main atrium of Mammoth Cave, leading to a roughly circular tunnel with a diameter of 121 cm. This tunnel is at least 1.7 kilometers long, as it was measured to be that long during the RPC-XXX-A expedition.
RPC-XXX would, under normal circumstances, almost immediately suffer a catastrophic cave-in and become completely inaccessible. However, RPC-XXX contains a large concentration of newly discovered Rohn-Steinberg particles (up to 695 ppm), providing sufficient structural support to the walls of RPC-XXX to prevent a cave-in. To prevent leakage of sensitive information to hostile GOI's, an event of this scale is dubbed an MCS-CAROLINE event.
The presence of these particles causes massive, debilitating hallucinations, typically consisting of a creature vaguely resembling a human attacking the victim. The panic and seizures caused by these hallucinations typically cause death within 10 minutes of entering RPC-XXX.
Notice: A recently discovered property of RPC-XXX, discovered by Dr. K, proposes that continued exposure of the entrance of RPC-XXX to the baseline atmosphere outside may cause a sudden, explosive, diffusion of Rohn-Steinberg particles to the main Mammoth Cave system, likely causing enough physical damage to destroy the cave.
As such, intermixing of the two atmospheres has been prevented by the usage of a false mesh at the entrance to RPC-XXX to prevent the movement of gaseous particles between the two atmospheres.
Expedition-XXX-A [RESTORED FILE, DELETED BY Dr. K]:
Explorer: Mikhail Kiff, late Head Consultant and husband to Dr. K.
Commanding Officer: Dr. K.
Notes: Mikhail was not informed of the identity of the Commanding Officer, under request of Dr. K. Following the arrest of Dr. K on October 6th of 2023, previously deleted portions of the transcript have been restored.
Conversation Log:
Mikhail: "Alright, so is this it? The tiny-ass hole in the wall I can't see the end of?"
Dr. K: "Yes, Mikh. Now you said on the survey that you didn't have severe claustrophobia, but I must warn you, this will be an extremely cramped journey. Please detach the O2 hose connected to the back of your helmet and swap it out for the supplemental Outside Atmospheric hose."
Mikhail: "Alright, boss."
[Shuffling is heard]
Mikhail: "Done."
Dr. K: "Alright, now I'm going to need you to keep crawling foreword through the hole until you see something interesting. I'll be here."
Mikhail: "[Deep Exhale] Alright. I'm going through. If I die here, I blame you."
Dr. K: "Sure."
[Doctor K is heard taking off her headphones and exiting the control room, moving to the entrance of RPC-XXX. Audio output is rerouted to dedicated speakers. 7 minutes pass.]
Mikhail: "I'm seeing some red marks in here. Seems like it's blood. You getting this?"
Dr. K: "[Faintly] Yeah!"
[Dr. K positions herself at the mouth of the cave. She places her ear in the entrance to RPC-XXX.]
Mikhail: "Boss, you seeing this? [26 seconds of silence] Boss!? What is going o-"
[Silence, interspersed with Mikhail's heavy breathing.]
Mikhail: "Boss, what the fuck is that? Hello? Why are you ignoring me!? Please tell me you're seeing this! Send help, send fucking he-"
[197 uninterrupted seconds of Mikhail screaming in anguish, as Dr. K's bodycam catches her smirking.]
Mikhail was never recovered.

RPC-XXX sufferer.
Containment Protocols:
Description: RPC-XXX is a mental state capable of spontaneously manifesting in humans undergoing microsleep. No real correlation between different victims of RPC-XXX has been found, though no manifestations have been reported in those under 5 years old.
RPC-XXX is characterized by the complete perceived loss of all visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, temporal, and vestibular feedback from the body to the brain. The nerves and receptors providing these signals do not cease functioning, RPC-XXX's symptoms are purely mental.
RPC-XXX sufferers are generally incapable of vocalizing distress, and those who can tend to do so for the entire duration of sleep.
Roughly 30 seconds following the onset of RPC-XXX, symptoms will completely cease. Severe mental distress typically follows recovery, with over 94% of recorded sufferers attempting suicide in the hour following recovery. Despite the active phase of RPC-XXX only lasting less than a minute, victims report it lasting an extremely long period of time, with some reporting experiencing "millions of years of darkness" while affected by RPC-XXX.
