Item #: RPC-499
Object Class: Gamma
Containment Protocols: In order to locate instances of RPC-499, Geiger Counters and similar devices are to be placed in major cities. A neural network has been trained to detect stories regarding RPC-499 or RPC-499-1 in smaller residential area's newspapers.
In the suspected occurrence of RPC-499, Authority Security will be sent to confirm the instance. Afterward, Authority Security equipped with HazMat suits are to retrieve the instance of RPC-499-1. Once the instance is contained, cover stories are to be published in the afflicted areas explaining the "cause" of any property damage or pandemonium. Direct witnesses of RPC-499 are to be located using local security cameras. If security cameras are not available, broad questioning is to be conducted on nearby residents. Those that are suspected of having viewed RPC-499 are to be interviewed at full-length before being administered amnestics. All direct, non-Authority personnel, witnesses of RPC-499 are to be administered the appropriate class of amnestic.
Once the instance is contained, RPC-499-1 should be transported under a lead blanket to Site-10 and placed inside a Modified Anomalous Object Containment Cell (10m x 10m x 10m). Modifications are to include the following:
- Post-mortem accommodations
- Autopsical equipment
- An operating table
- A lead-lining covering each wall
- An airlock containing a hazmat suit
- A nonanomalous object locker
All RPC-499-1 instances should go under an autopsy. No preservation techniques are to be performed on RPC-499-1 instances in order to not tamper with autopsy results, due to this autopsies are to be performed as soon as possible.
After the results of the autopsy are recorded, the RPC-499-1 instance should be incinerated and the ashes buried. If an organ or body part of RPC-499-1 is of interest, it may be preserved for later research. This body part should be placed in a labeled container inside the nonanomalous object locker in RPC-499-1's chamber.
Currently, there is no known method of preventing the occurrence of RPC-499.
Description: RPC-499 refers to a phenomenon in which cadavers, hereby referred to as RPC-499-1, of similar physical conditions will apparate in populous cities. RPC-499 occurs volatilely with instances of RPC-499-1 forming in a negligible1 amount of time regardless of the surroundings; this sporadicity will frequently cause collisions between nearby objects and RPC-499-1. RPC-499 seems to only typically occur in highly populated areas. RPC-499 seemingly randomly occurs in major cities, with no discernable trend in sites.
RPC-499 has notably been recorded to occur in:
- New York City
- Sydney
- London
- ███████████
- Tokyo
- Istanbul
RPC-499-1 instances have shown great physical variance2 (aside from wounds) from one another. Wounds will occasionally show differences, but will always include third-degree burns. All RPC-499-1 instances as of yet have been irradiated. While not necessarily harmful for short-periods of interaction between RPC-499-1, precautions have been taken to protect Authority Staff who will come into contact with RPC-499-1 for longer periods of time.
