RPC-XXX during a manifesation event, following the termination of at least three XXX-1 instances via head-on collision.

OBJECT CLASS SYMBOL

Registered Phenomena Code: XXX

Object Class: Gamma - Orange

Hazard Types:

Containment Protocols: Due to the nature of RPC-XXX, full containment is impossible. All Authority agents embedded in organisations dedicated to, or ancilliarly responsible for, ceasation of human whaling activties or conservation of cetacian species, are to be made aware of RPC-XXX and breifed in proper response to a manifestation event.

During a manifestation event no civilian craft, seaborne or aircraft, are to be permitted within a 10km of RPC-XXX. Civilian craft are to be contacted and informed that they are entering an area engaging in an on-going anti-piracy operation, or Military simulation and must divert. Failure to acknowledge and comply should be responded to with rapid interception and diversion of the craft. Should RPC-XXX manifest in a non-aquatic environment, standard exclusion-zone procedure is to be followed until demanifestation.

In the case of a manifestation event, all nearby assets should sound be equipped and prepared to aggressively intercept RPC-XXX. Survivors and witnesses of a manifestation event are to be administered with glyph-based amnestics and evacuated to the nearest port under standard misinformation procedures.

Description: RPC-XXX is a seaborne vessel matching the style of a typical twentieth century Whale Catcher vessel. RPC-XXX's hull is absent of any identifying symbol or marking, and matches no known vessel constructed within the time period the ship's style and level of non-anomalous technolgy implies is its origin. The exterior hull of the vessel exibits a constant1 level of functional disrepair, despite a complete lack of impairment on continued activity.

RPC-XXX has only been observed during Manifestation Events, with all attempts to track the vessel once it de-manifests proving entierly fruitless, regardless of the means. Without exception, all Manifestation Events since the inital observation of RPC-XXX in 17boxbox have followed a common sequence of events outlined below:

Ten minutes before RPC-XXX manifests: A number of previously non-anomalous entities belonging to the infraorder Cetacea within 3km of the manifestation zone are selected as targets2. No discernable pattern exists to how RPC-XXX chooses these targets, nor the number of them out of the species within the Manifestation Zone, though previous Manifestation events have featured RPC-XXX-1 instances of previously unknown yet non-anomalous species, some of which have yet to be encountered outside of such events.
Between five and eight minutes before RPC-XXX manifests: A localized heavy fog begins to form within the area of manifestation, regardless of weather conditions prior to or during the Manifestation Event. This occurs even during Manifestation Events located over land, regardless of the humidity or immediate presence of liquid water in such Manifestation Events.
RPC-XXX manifests, immediately heading towards the nearest XXX-1 instance, regardless of whether RPC-XXX

Addendum XXX-31: On the xx/xx/xx at approximately x00 hours, extra-planetary Authority listening posts detected a colossal, unknown biological entity heading towards the solar system at near-light speeds. Due to the nature and speed of the anomaly, an Authority interception force was unable to be immediately dispatched. At approximately x+100 hours a cloud of Ice fog manifested directly within the path of the unknown entity, from which rpc XXX emerged.

Following a prolonged naval battle, RPC-XXX was observed to manifest and fire a single, implausibly large harpoon into the extraterrestrial entity, incapacitating it. Following this, RPC-XXX towed the entity into the cloud of ice fog, with both figures demanifesting once inside. Following demanifestation, a single corked bottle was located within the staff toilet of Site-019. Inside was a message, transcribed below

Ye best be havin' some more respect th' next time ye salty dogs be seein' me fightin' agents o' th' great enemy, aye? Skewers that large don't be comin' cheap.

- Ye first mate, the Cap'n
