Item #: RPC-XXX
Object Class: Alpha-Yellow
Containment Protocols: RPC-XXX is contained in an RnD department storage locker on Site-015.
Protocol Kitasis may be initiated for testing purposes at the direct approval of personnel with a clearance level of 3 or 4. Researchers must follow all guidelines required in the conceptualization process.
Under testing conditions, it is recommended to send one CSD personnel to determine human habitability before further expeditions can be carried out. Drones are ineffective as entering these instances will cause the drones to disconnect from the operator.
Description: RPC-XXX is a small, firm, octagonal glass piece fitted into an oval shaped golden ring. The size of the anomaly is 30 cm in length and 50 cm in width. Carbon dating of the anomaly dates back to pre-colonial America: roughly 1100. However, the structure of the anomaly are not consistent with the documented Native American cultures which exist within our understanding.
The anomaly is a memetic object, capable of imprinting knowledge to its users. During initial testing, subjects described reading symbols or letters in an unknown language despite being unfamiliar to them. The longer subjects observe the anomaly, the more of the language they learn. Subjects are observed to enter a trance like state when using the object, claiming that they were able to 'sense' the words through sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing. One subject described in perfect detail his perception of a large and expansive ocean as though he was actively present in that moment.
Exposure to RPC-XXX provides the affected users the means of producing anomalies through writing. These instances are designated RPC-XXX-A and will vary according to the content of the descriptions used in the writing process. While additional content can be written into these pages, the instances must have a consistent grammatical structure.
Creating RPC-XXX-A instances requires the subject to write in the language imparted in them through RPC-XXX. The subject must start with a name and continue to describe the desired instance in a highly specific fashion, as detailed in Document-xx-1. If the instances does not have the specified requirements, the process will automatically filter out on its own after the binding process is finished.
If this procedure is not carried out as required, or any deviation from the format is made, the created RPC-xxx-A instance will become unstable and result in ████████████ which has caused ██ ████ to date. In addition, a majority of RPC-xxx-A instances will fail to generate properly should their description break the laws of physics and energy. There are a few notable exceptions to this rule however.1
Once description procedure has been completed, subject will place said description on any market available book stand, so long as it is either facing a doorway and/or gap leading to another room. Subjects must then repeat the trigger phrase out loud in order for the procedure to complete and the RPC-xxx-Doorway to materialize. Failure to do so has resulted in ██████ and must be approached with caution.2
The stability of each instances is heavily dependent on the grammar discerned by RPC-XXX. Several initial tests showed each experimental instances underwent drastic changes after exploring the bounded books. Bad descriptions and grammar can lead to even more impossible world instances, making them insufficient for human life.3
Addendum XXX-01:
Expeditions have been carried out by the authority to determine the nature of the anomalies for continuous research. Video logs have been recorded throughout these expeditions and confiscated for further observational studies. Expedition teams must confer to the resource department for acquisition during their trips into these instances for Authority benefit.
Books found with the same written language within these instances are to be confiscated and designated as RPC-XXX-B
All descriptions have been translated for research personnel to read.

D-3121, another subject affected by RPC-XXX, was sent to recover D-1221 after he was instructed to enter the door. D-1221 did not return back after ten minutes in. D-3121 repeated the process as instructed and disappeared through the door only to return back an hour later with D-1221.
Upon his return, the Class-D described the instance as a vast, empty, flat arid land. There were few plant life in the area he was in. D-3121 also described emerging from a structure after reading RPC-XXX-01, and another book similar to the structure of the one he and D-1221 had read, but with different descriptions. The individual failed to properly identify the architecture but by the description given; the structure was made of stone.
D-3121 found D-1221 in a state of distress and hysteria. It is likely that in the rush of traversing the instance, D-1221 had a slight mental break down for fear of being trapped in the instance. The indication of plant life signified that the instance is a habitable environment. One unusual phenomena however, stems from the descriptions of the plants. They do not match any of the arid or desert plants currently known on Earth. Future expeditions will require video logs.
Expedition log-A-01-1:
The expedition team consists of Dr. Silar, Agent Hoss, Alenko and Johnathon. Subject accompanying by camera is D-2215. Background of the subject shows him to be proficient in video journalism and writing. Was arrested for unfound claims of espionage during his report on North Korea. Was picked up by the Authority to work in exchange for freedom.
Camera activates, flickers to view. Dr. Silar, is accompanied by three other operatives and D-2215 who is the subject of this recording. The team entered RPC-XXX-A-01 with the intent of setting up an expedition camp. The time of day within RPC-XXX-A-01 is nightfall as the camera pans up to record. Visual data from D-2215 show the night sky, dotted with purple gleaming, or "twinkling" stars and a blue moon during a first-quarter phase.4 Dr. Silar noted that the moon has an irregular orbital pattern, going through its phase at a much faster, more observable rate.
D-2215 followed Dr. Silar and two operatives as they begin to explore the region during night-fall. One operative was left behind at camp with a signal light for the rest of the team to tread back. Large, cacti like entities and arid shrubs came into view. All dotted the expansive wastes despite any source of water present. Soil samples were taken for a detailed analysis.
The team continued to explore further from camp or two hours, before changing direction and then finally, turning back to make way towards the camp. There was nothing to note beside the stone structure back at camp. D-2215 claims to have seen a structure further out in the wastes during their trip back. Dr. Silar suggested to put off investigation for the next trip.
The feed is cut off at this point, and then opened three hours in. It was daylight in XXX-A-01. The camera focuses on the structure D-2215 claimed to have seen. The stone structure matches the architectural style and material used for the structure back at camp. Dr. Silar noted the layout was more akin to a library as opposed to the standard temple like design back at camp. Subject pans the camera to record the library.
The shelves contained books blank pages, with the exception of one book that Dr. Silar pulled from the central shelf. After zooming in, the camera shows that the writing matches the same written language of RPC-XXX. The video ends.
The expedition team return to Site-11 for further geographical research. Soil sample indicates the composition of the earth are incapable of supporting plant life.

Expedition Log-01:
D-5121 was ordered to enter RPC-XXX-A-02 and return within five minutes. When the test subject did not return from his expedition, another was sent to retrieve him. Approximately thirty seconds in, D-1115 returned, half-naked and bearing 2nd degree burns over 30% of his body. Subject described RPC-XXX-A-02 as a unnaturally hot, having his clothing burn up. Due to excess heat, the camera shorted out immediately upon the subject entering XXX-A-02. D-5121 was considered to be dead, and D-1115 was taken to the medical ward for burn treatments.
Expeditions to RPC-XXX-A-02-1 have been barred.

Expedition Log-A-03-1:
Subject for this expedition involves D-1556, a Libyan suffering from amnesia. The individual was picked up by the Authority during a routine patrol after the individual was discovered wandering aimlessly near Site-[REDACTED]. This time the expedition team consists of Dr. Apth, Agent Hoss and Alenko.
Camera flickers on, focusing on the operatives and Dr. Apth as they finished preparing their survival packs.
Dr. Apth: Alright. We're all set. D-1556, do you have the camera on?
D-1556: Yes Dr. Apth.
Dr. Apth: Alright. I want you to take point once we open the doorway. I want you to return as soon as you've determined the instance's habitability.
Dr. Apth pulled up the book and moved towards the bookstand. After placing the book on its stand, the researcher motioned for D-1556 to focus in on the doorway as he adjusted the book's position.
Dr. Apth: Pos'dra Ri-krit.
The camera flickers for but a moment as a door begins to materialize within the testing chamber. D-1556 muttered something in his native tongue that wasn't picked up by the recording. Dr. Apth turned to face the camera and points.
Dr. Apth: This is where you come in now.
D-1556 was hesitant at first. After some encouragement however, subject began to move towards the door. The subject then reaches forward with his hand to grab the knob and twist it, opening it. Recording shows only darkness from the entrance. The test subject was hesitant to move. When he did, the camera temporarily flickers once more, capturing only darkness before the subject comes across flat land.
The camera pans around the subject's environment as he observes. Camera details a lush, small flat and tropical landscape. A beach is present as the subject turns left and right with the camera. Then back behind him, subject discovers a smooth carved dome like structure with the door he emerged from. The subject uttered something in his tongue again shortly before the camera shuts off.
The camera turns back on again, with Dr. Apth, Agent Hoss and Alenko in the front. Dr. Apth observed his surroundings more thoroughly as he appeared to be confused.
Dr. Apth: Strange… It is so different… yet it feels nostalgic…
Agent Hoss: What's that doc?
Dr. Apth: Its nothing. Just determining the conditions.
The expedition team continued to move. The camera pans left and right again as the test subject mutters in his tongue his fascination. Movement suddenly comes to a stop after several minutes passed. The camera pans back to the front to see another shoreline.
D-1556: It is an island?
Agent Alenko: That's definitely what it looks like. I don't see any other bodies of land anywhere.
The camera focuses in on the horizon as the subject turns. The subject's hand comes into view as he points out to silhouettes in the distance.
D-1556: Wait! Dr. Apth! I see land over there!
The team turned to face the direction the subject was pointing to. Sounds of confirmation echoed between the three as they looked on.
Agent Hoss: Islands amid a vast ocean world.
Dr. Apth: This place makes me feel like a kid again.
Agent Alenko: I don't think we can find much else here though sir.
Dr. Apth: No, probably not. But this might make a good research outpost, don't you think?
The video ends after three minutes in.
The expedition team returned to Site-11. A petition by Dr. Apth has been sent out to Global Directors for a base of operations in RPC-XXX-A-03.
Dr. Apth- I believe further investigation into the relations between the writers' psyche and the instances themselves should be addressed. However, these instances we produce have no inherent hostile natures.
Though I cannot say the same for instances of XXX-B as we've not yet delved into that instance, I do believe that any other product can provide with us the opportunity to establish new bases of operations, or even emergency shelters. Of course, this is completely dependent on the condition of the books themselves so outside of research purposes and exploration, wouldn't be of much use if everything in our reality is destroyed.
Still, it is with great care that we fashion these instances with consideration before even considering the prospect of exploring them. After our expedition in XXX-A-03, I can safely say that this will be a great contribution to the Authority.

Expedition Log-01:
D-1556 disappeared into RPC-XXX-A-04 and had not returned within the designated time limit. D-0218 a Japanese American was sent in to retrieve D-1556. Five minutes after, the subject returned with no sign of D-1556. D-0218 was sent with Agent Hoss and Alenko to retrieve D-1556 from XXX-A-04.
The camera flickers as the video feed turns on as subject D-0218 is viewing Agent Hoss and Alenko fitting their equipment. All three are fitted with communication radios.
Dr. Silar: [Aside] Remember: incapacitate D-1556 if you can. Should the subject become hostile, you are required to terminate him.
Subject pans the camera to watch Agent Hoss shifted his munitions belt as he made way over towards the book to angle it.
Agent Hoss: Anything else we should know while in A-04?
Dr. Silar: [Aside] Evaluate world instance for Authority benefits or take geological samples.
Agent Hoss: Okay. Alenko, you take point. 218, watch our flanks. Non-lethal rounds only. Terminate only when subject displays hostile intent.
Camera shows Alenko moving over to the materialized door, weapon in hand. The door opens to the black space once with Alenko stepping through. Hos follows suit, and then subject. Once more the camera flickers as the subject steps through. Subject utters out an obscenity about 'not getting used to this' as the feed returns to showcase a distant vast Savannah.
Flora and fauna lifeforms bear remarkable similarities to the indigenous wildlife of Libya. Camera pans around the subject's environment as they take in the sight of the instance. Then subject turns behind to view a small, spire like stone tower from which they emerged from.
D-0218: Huh… How did I not notice that the first time?
Agent Hoss: Keep focused subject. It'll be very easy for you to get lost if you get too excited.
Camera turns back to Alenko and Hoss as they scanned the horizon with binoculars. Gentle breeze of wind could be felt from west of where the expedition team was.
Agent Alenko: I don't see em anywhere Hoss. Think he got eaten?
Agent Hoss: What's the equivalent of a striped hyena or a golden wolf?
Agent Alenko: Don't know. Eggheads say that these instances can reflect off of the thought process or psyche of the users. Though how could an Amnesiac make a near perfect replication of the home he has no memory of?
Agent Hoss: Subconscious memories?
The two agents continue to observe their surroundings until Hoss points out to the distance. D-0218 focuses the camera in on the direction. A plume of smoke was seen 3.6 miles away. The expedition team continues their search.
About an hour in and the team comes across what looks to be signs of civilized life. Sandstone structures dotted around what looks to be an oasis The inhabitants were all wearing finely tailored looking hide outfits. The camera zooms in on one particular individual: D-1556, who stood out from the inhabitants with his orange jumpsuit.
Recording indicates the inhabitants were receptive of the Class-D. Subject turns to face the camera to Agent Hoss and Alenko, both appearing conflicted and talking to one another.
D-0218: Should we get him? he asked.
The two agents looked over at the camera and back at each other. Agent Hoss reaches over for the camera to turn it off. Both Hoss, Alenko, and D-0218 returned with reports that they were content to leave D-1556.
Agent Hoss and Alenko have been reprimanded for their decisions and are sentenced to a two week suspension period for violating security protocol. It is unlikely that D-1556 will return; information breach is unlikely. However, the Authority must assure all personnel the necessity of secrecy under any circumstances which can be used against us.
Regardless of their violations, Agent Hoss and Alenko have acted well within the Authority's standards and commitment to human preservation.

Expedition Log-01:
D-0218 was tasked to enter and exit the instance for any irregularities. Subject describes instance as habitable but indirectly hostile. Weather patterns are violent and erratic. an unusual combination of snow and storm has been noted. Environmental suits are recommended. Agent Johnathon, D-0218 and Dr. Silar will lead the expedition.
Camera flickers on, observing Dr. Silar, and Agent Johnathon. All three of the expedition members are already in RPC-B-01, noted by the frigid cold environment. The sky color is green. Terrain pattern is erratic and non-geometrically structured. The team moves towards up the beaten path as the subject records the surrounding area. Subject notes of beachheads surrounding the area around them.
Johnathon takes point as the team climbs the beaten hill. Camera shows the snow storm continues to rage, thick clumps of snowflakes hitting the expedition team from all directions. The agent stops shortly as he reaches the top. Subject D-0128 zooms in to the agent who turns to gesture Dr. Silar.
Agent John: Doc. Come here. You'll never believe what I found.
Dr. Silar: Another structure?
Agent John: Yeah but this one is… well its something else.
Subject D-0128 and Dr. Silar continue to climb and join with the agent. D-0128 stared in awe as he zoomed the camera in a tall, spiral, black stone structure.
D-0218: This is… absolutely crazy. And scary.
Dr. Silar: Better than freezing out here. Agent, see if that door's barred.
Agent Johnathon enters the shot as he makes his way towards the ruined tower's door. The door remains motionless for a few seconds before the agent gives it a hard pull. A large thud echoes from the entrance as the agent pries the door outward.
Agent John: It looks all clear.
The agent enters the tower and stops halfway in. Slowly he examines his surroundings and turns back towards Dr. Silar and the camera as they made their way towards him.
Agent John: Doc, what would you estimate the size oft his tower?
Dr. Silar: Roughly speaking? Thirty meters in height, with a ten meter radius.
Agent John: I don't know about you, but it looks a lot bigger on the inside.
Subject enters the tower as the light begins to adjust to accommodate the dimly lit room. The subject gasps, panning the camera to examine the room. Visual recording shows the radial room to be larger than Dr. Silar's estimate. Bookshelves line around a hole in the center, and up against the wall, reaching up to the next levels up.
D-0218: This is not thirty meters. I can't see the ceiling.
Dr. Silar: Amazing… another library?
Camera continues to focus on the environment as the sound indicators pick up Dr. Silar removing books from theirs helves. Page turning can be heard from his direction.
Dr. Silar: Amazing! These books all bear the same written language from RPC-XXX! Not only that, some of these are not world instances but standard literature! At least, as far as I am aware. I can't understand half of this even with the knowledge attained from RPC-XXX. I think some of these could be journals.
D-0218: Of… what? The guys that made the magic… eyeglass thingy?
Dr. Silar: If this is to be believed yes. The grammatical structure is the same but they are not ordered in a way that could describe world instances. This is astounding.
D-0218: You sure we should be taking them?
Subject turns back up to the ceiling to observe the surroundings more. However, there are signs of unusual visual patterns that D-0218 failed to recognize as the camera still records the ceiling. Dark silhouette figures of humanoid form, standing several stories up. The gleam from their eyes is given off on the camera.
Agent John: Hey its not like they're going to care. This place looks abandoned long ago. If there were anyone else here, they'd let us know.
A moment of silence from Dr. Silar prompts the two to turn to him. He stands up and turns to face them, looking perplexed.
Dr. Silar: Do you have that feeling that we are being watched?
Agent John: All the time.
Dr. Silar: Wait… quiet for a moment.
The sound of the storm outside continues to rage as if from a distance. The room is still silent as Dr. Silar examines his surroundings. there was an uneasy look to Dr. Silar and Agent Johns faces.
Dr. Silar: I don't think we are alone.
Another moment of silence as the team continues to look around for any sign of life. When there was no indication of another presence, Dr. Silar pocketed the books and turned to leave the spire.
Dr. Silar: We'll have to come back later for more.
D-0218: Wait… if we're not alone, then how come the world description failed to mention any life?
Dr. Silar: I don't think life, in the most basic forms, is necessary for world stability. But whoever came here, they turned this world into their own. Whatever is with us is another matter entirely. A library hidden within a book that is hidden within another and they fail to show any correlation for one another.
Agent John: Could it be that we're connected to it somehow?
Dr. Silar: That's what I'm theorizing to be the case.
The camera feed shuts off later.
All reading material and XXX-B instances have been recovered from XXX-B-1. The camera recording did indeed confirm the team's suspicions of there being presences of others within the spire library. Expedition to XXX-B must be reviewed by level 4 personnel of Protocol Kitsis.
OBJECT CLASS SYMBOL
Registered Phenomena Code: XXX
Object Class: Alpha-Yellow
Hazard Types: Transmutation-Hazard
Containment Protocols: RPC-XXX is contained within a standard containment storage room in Site-016. When testing, all personnel are to wear protective hand-wear and are to hold the object by its hilt. RPC-XXX is not to touch any solid surface of the containment room. Skin contact is to be avoided at all times as the transmutation brought on by the object may be irreversible. RPC-XXX is to be properly wrapped in cloth when not in use.
Description: RPC-XXX is a model of a human hand, made from pure gold and embedded on a bronze hilt weighing approximately 1.5 kilograms. The structure of RPC-XXX is a complete accurate representation of that of a typical 40-50 year old male. Any solid object or living being that comes into contact with RPC-XXX will gradually turn into gold. That object or person will retain its physical appearance but will exceed their natural weight to account for the transmutation's added mass. There are no known methods of reverting the changes. While research into possible solutions are still being considered, subjects that have been affected by RPC-XXX are considered deceased. Despite having the properties to turn any solid matter into gold, certain properties such as water, natural rocks and/or soil remain unaffected.
RPC-XXX was recovered in Antolia, along the coast of the Black Sea, in which a museum was robbed of an exhibit piece featuring the artifact. An interview with the museum curator was conducted to gauge the awareness the museum was over the anomaly's properties. In the interview, the curator revealed that the artifact was registered in the country's national inventory and had no prior knowledge regarding its anomalous properties. Further questioning on how it acquired in their possession showed that it was allegedly discovered during archeological excavations for Greeco/Roman artifacts in the Black Sea. RPC-XXX was recovered from a merchant ship, carefully preserved within a glass case with no lock or key.
An investigation team sent to recover the stolen piece traced the perpetrator back to his home, only to discover that the robber and his house were turned to gold. The glass case containing RPC-XXX had been shattered. The Authority was contacted by an agent working within Antolian customs and was sent to retrieve RPC-XXX and the petrified victim, and to dismantle the house. Amnestics were administered to the investigation team during the process.
A series of tests were conducted to see how effective the transmutation effect has on other properties, especially objects paired with certain environments.

Subject: CSD-9895, Male Caucasian of Italian nationality.[Begin Log]
Subject CSD-9895 is tasked to enter the room per Dr. Shawl's instructions and approach the object. On his right is another table containing a bar of lead.
CSD-9895: Alright, I'm at the table. So uhh…what do I do now?
Dr. Shawl: Pick up RPC-XXX by the handle and carefully remove the cloth from the hand..
The subject does as he is instructed as he picks up the anomaly and uncovers the golden apparatus.
CSD-9895: Holy shit…
Dr. Shawl: Ensure you do not touch the golden hand of RPC-XXX, CSD-9895.
CSD-9895: Why not exactly?
Dr. Shawl: Push RPC-XXX on the lead bar and see why.
CSD-9895: Uhh… okay then.
The subject turns and proceeds to take the object and press it on the lead bar. After a few seconds, the bar of lead begins to transmute into gold.
CSD-9895: Whoa!
Dr. Shawl: Thank you subject. Now use your other hand to feel the weight of the bar.
CSD-9895 picks up the bar of gold as he is instructed and begins to inspect it.
CSD-9895: Wait are you telling me this shit can turn anything into gold?"
Dr. Shawl: Yes. Now, if you would, please put the object back on the-
CSD-9895 then plants RPC-XXX upon the surface of the containment storage room. The walls and ceilings of the chamber then begin to change over time.
Dr. Shawl: CSD-9895 please place the object back on the pedestal and await for your detention.
[End log]
Notes: The chamber's to be left as it is since the transmutation. The Authority cannot afford to restructure the entire room every time we have something like this occur. And no, we will not be using the transmuted gold to accomplish this.

Subject: CSD-2234, Male Caucasian of Russian nationality.[Begin log]
Subject enters the testing room and is asked to pick up RPC-XXX by the handle. The subject is instructed by Dr. Shawl to unwrap the object and press the golden hand on a potted sapling to his right.
CSD-2234: So wait, all I have to do is place this on the plant?
Dr. Shawl: That is correct subject.
CSD-2234: Alright then I guess. Still don't know what it is about this that's so-
The subject stops as he unveils RPC-XXX's golden apparatus from the golden cloth.
CSD-2234: Whoa…
Dr. Shawl: Ensure that you do not touch RPC-XXX, CSD-2234.
CSD-2234: It's just a golden hand man. I don't see what the big deal is.
Dr. Shawl: Touch it on the plant and find out.
The subject inspects the object for a second before placing the golden hand on potted sapling. Almost immediately the sapling begins transmutate into gold, along with the pot. The soil however, remains unaffected.
CSD-2234: Holy shit! It… it just turned into gold!
Dr. Shawl: Now you see why. Please place the hand back on the pedestal and await to be escorted back into your dorm.

Subject: CSD-1178, Female Caucasian of American nationalityThe subject enters the containment chamber and is given the same instructions as her predecessors. Subject has been granted knowledge of the anomaly and its properties prior to the test's start. Inside the testing chamber is a glass case filled with water.
CSD-1178: So I just touch this golden hand thing on anything and it'll turn to gold?
Dr. Shawl: Essentially yes.
CSD-1178: And you want me to put it in the water? On the glass?
Dr. Shawl: That is correct.
The subject inspects the object for a second or two before removing it from the pedestal. She proceeds to unwrap the golden cloth around the apparatus and presses it on the glass case. Immediately the glass begins to transmutate into a golden sheen, with the water remaining unaffected.

Background: Dr. Silar was born in Manhattan, New York, to a family of Italian Immigrants. They were relatively poor, leading up to his father joining the [REDACTED] crime family. While he may have started out from a less than stellar beginnings, Dr. Silar expressed an interest in both archeology and history. By the time he was 18 years of age, his father [REDACTED] gave him all of his savings from his time in the mob to further his education.
Dr. Silar has a fascination with ancient history, particularly Roman and Greek. Dr. Silar would routinely take on extra-curricular activities leading him on multiple expeditions to Italy and Greece. However, by 2000, NYU ceased funding for any future archeological endeavors. Before the suspension however, Dr. Silar uncovered a series of lesser anomalous items related to the Sons of Hercules. What caught the Authority's attention was Dr. Silar's analytical ability, having uncovered more history about the Sons of Hercules that civilian researchers would not have pieced together regarding the SoH's guarded history.
Dr. Silar was recruited into the Research Division of the Authority based on these analytical qualities and his affinity for archeology and ancient history. After sufficient training, the Authority stationed him in Site-015 to continue his research in Ancient Roman history. In 2017, Silar came into contact with RPC-162, recovered by the deceased hostile subject █████ █████████. In a lapse of judgement spurned on by academic curiosity, Dr. Silar equipped the ring during examination. As a result, he became the sole owner of the anomalous object that cannot be removed until his death. In addition, Dr. Silar gained control of the entity designated as 162-1, which has been used in multiple containment and re-containment purposes.
