Item #: RPC-XXX

Object Class: Beta

Special Containment Procedures: The migration of RPC-XXX is to be constantly tracked via satellite imagery. If RPC-XXX is seen to be approaching shorelines or public areas, immediate action must be taken via lock down of the area.

A single underwater drone is to monitor the RPC-XXX for any unusual behaviour. Sudden shifts in movements or erratic actions done by any of the instances of RPC-XXX is to be documented.

Description: RPC-XXX is a large group of stone statues, currently situated in the Indian Ocean. All the statues are approximately the same size as an average human, carved out of limestone. Despite showing physical signs of ageing and weathering, instances of RPC-XXX do not degrade at all, and has been shown to be practically indestructible.

Instances of RPC-XXX show sentience, being capable of moving around despite having no physical muscle or flesh. RPC-XXX shows to have a schedule, and rotate from three different states at random:

  • Moving forward in one direction. All the instances of RPC-XXX will simultaneously migrate to a different area of the ocean. This seems to be limited to deep ocean, but RPC-XXX has been seen moving towards shallow beaches on occasion.
  • All the instances of RPC-XXX will start acting out different actions. This can vary from praying, socialising (although incapable of speech), and so on.
  • RPC-XXX will stop moving in its entirety. All of the statues will enter a 'resting' period, which generally lasts longer than the other states, lasting up to 45-59 hours.

When any humanoid enters a one kilometre radius of an instance of RPC-XXX, they will spontaneously disappear. This disappearance is a complete removal of the subject's body from existence, with non-biological objects attached to said human (such as clothes) disappearing as well. The exact extent of what is taken with, is currently unknown.

Up to 24 hours after said subject's disappearance, a new statue will appear in RPC-XXX, with the exact same properties as the rest. The carving of the statue will resemble the person who had disappeared previously, although the sentience of the statue is not similar at all, and seems to act out at random like the other instances of RPC-XXX.
