Containment Protocols: RPC-715 is currently contained in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-002. RPC-715-1, RPC-715-2, and RPC-715-3 are to be removed from RPC-715's containment cell for testing purposes only. RPC-715 is not permitted to have any stationery, pencils, paintbrushes, or any other forms of writing utensils unless used for testing purposes.

RPC-715-1 recreated by CSD personnel after testing. Recreations of the paintings show no anomalous effects.

Updated Containment Protocols following the creation of RPC-715-7: All personnel assigned to RPC-715 are to undergo weekly psychological evaluations to check for any long-lasting memetic effects associated with RPC-715. RPC-715's body is to remain in an unfurnished modified humanoid containment cell at Site-002. The cell floor is to be covered in an exposed copper grid able to be electrified over 200mA. It is to remain under constant surveillance, and ASF teams are to be prepared for a containment breach if RPC-715 reanimates.

RPC-715-1, RPC-715-2, RPC-715-4, and RPC-715-5 are to be contained in standard anomalous object containment units unless used for testing. RPC-715-1's containment unit is to be equipped with a low hertz audio recording device, and recordings are to be checked daily. Research teams are to be notified if audio tones reach over 9 hertz.

RPC-715-3 is to be contained in a fire-proof cell equipped with a Halon fire suppression system and standard video surveillance. Personnel with a history of violence are forbidden to enter RPC-715-3's containment cell for any reason. ASF teams are not permitted to enter RPC-715-3's containment cell under any circumstance.

RPC-715-6 must be contained in a Class 4 bio-hazard containment cell. Access to the cell is to be regulated by an outer decontamination chamber and hermetically sealed layered steel doors. The cell is to be negatively pressurized and continuously monitored for variations of any nature. CSD teams are to be sent in weekly to incinerate any fungal or organic build-up in the containment cell. CSDs used for testing and cleaning RPC-715-6 are to remain in the decontamination chamber for 12 hours 24 hours 48 hours after subsequent exposure. Subjects showing signs or symptoms of RPC-███ RPC-███ or RPC-████ are to be immediately incinerated. All testing of RPC-715-6 is currently postponed pending Site Director's approval.

RPC-715-7 is to be contained in a modified Class 4 destructive anomalous item containment cell measuring 10m x 30m x 6m. The containment cell is to be environmentally controlled, and it is to be inspected daily for signs of corrosion. No personnel are permitted within 5 meters of the anterior side of RPC-715-7. Personnel with Class 3 clearance and above are not permitted to enter RPC-715-7's containment cell for any reason.

Description: RPC-715 is the body of German-American painter Friedrich Tillich and its series of anomalous paintings designated as RPC-715-1 through -7. RPC-715 was born in ██████, Germany circa 1903 and moved to ██████ █████████████ in 1971, five years before its anomalous abilities are believed to have manifested. RPC-715 stands 193 centimeters tall, is approximately 85 years of age, and weighed 34.5 kg at the time of its acquisition by the Authority on July ██, ████. During its acquisition, RPC-715 appeared extremely emaciated, completely devoid of body hair, and was pallor in skin tone. An initial medical evaluation revealed its cardiovascular system to have been inactive for several years, and its body was completely devoid of blood. Despite RPC-715's several apparent physical frailties, it shows no signs of being affected by its disabilities. It is able to maintain moderate levels of strength and mobility. RPC-715's vision is severely impaired, with a visual acuity of 20/200 and a field of view of only 13°. This, however, does not affect RPC-715's ability to perceive objects at a distance or objects outside of its field of view. At this time, it is currently unknown how it achieves these feats.

Prior to RPC-715's acquisition by the Authority, three separate instances of RPC-715 had been created. All three instances were found in RPC-715's home in ██████. RPC-715's home was completely unfurnished upon discovery except for the three instances. Paintings created by RPC-715 all exhibit several similar and varied anomalous effects. Each instance has an anti-memetic effect when viewed through a camera, video recording, or reflection of any kind. Paintings viewed in this way are perceived as black or smoky in appearance. As a result, details about what each instance depicts are obscured. Direct visual contact is the only way to perceive an instance of RPC-715. Visual perception of an instance triggers each paintings' varied anomalous effects. The previous statement is currently under review following testing on RPC-715-3, RPC-715-6, and RPC-715-7.

Due to the anti-memetic nature of RPC-715 instances, research teams must rely heavily on test CSD's descriptions of the paintings. All accounts of those who view these instances recall them as "moving" or "feeling alive" with CSD's reports varying slightly or appearing to change in minor ways upon a later viewing. On rare occasions, subjects describe paintings actively changing while being viewed. These accounts go on to claim that the paintings "speak" to them in various voices and phrases. In very rare cases, CSD personnel have claimed to hear a painting before seeing it, most notably with RPC-715-3 and RPC-715-4. Researchers currently believe that instances depictions reflect on the perspective of the individual viewing it to some degree.

RPC-715 claims that each instance "takes" a part of itself. [See Initial Interview 71502-07] Samples collected from RPC-715-3 have shown the paint to be organic in nature with DNA matching RPC-715's as well as [REDACTED]. However, when nothing is physically taken (e.g. RPC-715-4), samples from the paintings match standard acrylic paint. RPC-715 claims to not be cognitive of its actions while actively completing an instance. Which it does with only several strokes of its brush, makeshift brush, or during its later paintings, just by touching a flat surface for an indeterminate amount of time. Current containment protocols have been updated in an attempt to stop RPC-715 from creating any more instances. [See Incident Report 71518-13]

[+] Access Initial Interview 71502-07 [-] Close Initial Interview 71502-07 Interviewed: RPC-715 "Friedrich Tillich" Interviewer: Dr. Merodak Notes: Initial interview of RPC-715 shortly after its arrival at Site-002. <Begin Log, 17:15 July 30th, ████> Dr. Merodak: Could you identify yourself for the record? Speak slowly and clearly for posterity reasons. RPC-715: Friedrich Tillich. May I go now, please?



Dr. Merodak: I'm afraid that's not possible, but I do have several questions for you. Do you know why your paintings cannot be seen in photos or videos? RPC-715: They do not wish to be seen while their voices cannot be heard. They cover my eyes during their birth. Dr. Merodak: I see, does that mean that these paintings are sentient? Do they have a will of their own? RPC-715: No. They are me, and the ones who are behind have indomitable wills. The paintings are pieces of me. The ones behind demand they take a part of me. Dr. Merodak: Is that what happened to your blood? RPC-715: Yes, he took that part of me. The first one took my hunger and thirst. The second one pledged my soul to Shawalu, and he took my dreams. Dr. Merodak: You painted the first instance in 1976 correct? You mean to tell me that you haven't eaten or had a drink in ██ years? How have you not starved to death by this point? Did the third painting take your blood? RPC-715: I can't. I'm here to only show the will. He…He took my blood the third one. דם עבור אלוהים הדם דם עבור אלוהים הדם דם עבור אלוהים הדם דם עבור אלוהים הדם ! Dr. Merodak: Mr. Tillich please calm yourself! Can we get a translator in here? RPC-715: *Sobbing* Shawalu שולט ! Shawalu regiert von hinten . Amaiera! Amaiera! Amaiera RPC-715 suddenly becomes silent and unresponsive to further questions. Dr. Merodak: Mr. Tillich? RPC-715: *Silence* Dr. Merodak: Mr. Tillich? RPC-715: *Silence* Dr. Merodak: *Sigh* We're done here. <End Log, 17:25 July 30th, ████> Closing Statement: Languages spoken by RPC-715 during the interview include Hebrew, Basque, and German. Ambient temperature in the interview room rose 9° Celsius after RPC-715 lost its composure. Additional Notes: After continued observation, it has been revealed that RPC-715 does not eat, sleep, or drink. While appearing emaciated and sleep-deprived, RPC-715 does not show any adverse signs or symptoms of malnourishment or sleep deprivation respectively. It is unclear whether RPC-715 was the source of the heat increase during the interview or simply a catalyst of something more.

RPC-715-7 RPC-715-1 "Slain and See" Visual Hazard Auditory Hazard Emotional Hazard Damage caused to the eardrum by prolonged exposure to RPC-715-1. The first instance of RPC-715, titled "Slain and See" by test subjects, is believed to have been completed sometime around July 1976. This instance is painted on a standard canvas frame measuring 40.5 x 50 cm. RPC-715-1 was found with RPC-715-2 and RPC-715-3 during initial acquisition. RPC-715-1 is exclusively described to be a depiction of a completely black background with 4-5 figures in red robes. Various symbols actively manifest above the robed figures in red. Test subjects all claim to hear a deep voice proclaiming "Slain and Come See" followed by hearing a deafening noise that constantly grows in intensity. Any human who directly views RPC-715-1 will immediately begin to express unease and will suffer minor hearing loss. Those with prolonged exposure exceeding 5 minutes, describe the noise coming from RPC-715-1 to be unbearable and begin begging for the test to end. However, they never approach RPC-715-1 directly in an attempt to silence the noise. Test subjects with prolonged exposure begin to experience elevated heart rates often reaching over 200 bpm. Test subjects' eardrums frequently rupture during this time including individuals who report having seen the fifth figure in the painting. Additionally, these individuals have even been shown to go into cardiac arrest. All those who view the painting express a powerful feeling of unease and paranoia even after leaving the viewing area. This paranoia has led several test subjects to commit suicide and amnestics are recommended to anyone who views RPC-715-1. After continued observation and testing, researchers discovered that RPC-715-1 constantly emits a sound at 6.5 Hz with varying intensity while actively being viewed. RPC-715-1's containment unit is to be fitted with an audio surveillance device. Recordings from RPC-715-1's containment unit are to be checked for variations of any kind daily. RPC-715-2 "Læm-Serkr" Visual Hazard Auditory Hazard The second instance of RPC-715, titled "Læm-Serkr" by test subjects, is also painted on a standard canvas frame measuring 40.5 x 50 cm and was found in RPC-715's home during initial acquisition. RPC-715-2 is described as being a constantly moving cloudy and/or misty grey landscape. Several test subjects have reported seeing a golden light deep within the mist. Subjects who see this golden object have difficulty describing the light. Some subjects even felt compelled to reach out and try to grab it. However, these subjects never directly approach RPC-715-2. Subjects who view RPC-715-2 show no immediate change of any kind. After an undetermined amount of time, test subjects begin requesting to see the other instances of RPC-715. Requests persist to view them regardless if the test subject had prior knowledge of the existence of other paintings. Most notably, to see RPC-715-4. Test subjects later report that these thoughts are unending and even affect their dreams. All test subjects exposed to RPC-715-2 are to be given Class 3 amnestics. Those who see the golden object within RPC-715-2 begin to have trouble sleeping, sometimes never being able to experience REM sleep even after being administered amnestics. During their brief moments of sleep test subjects say they see RPC-715 working on other instances of RPC-715 while hearing various voices chanting “Behold, the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" . They are then woken by what they describe as a multitude of horns playing.

RPC-715-3 "Contest" Visual Hazard Auditory Hazard Emotional Hazard Extreme Temperature Hazard RPC-715-3 was painted on a cotton bed sheet and was found with RPC-715 in its home during initial acquisition. RPC-715 claims RPC-715-3 contains its blood [See Interview 71502-07]. RPC-715-3 is described as being a landscape covered in constantly moving fire and the rubble of a large city, which is visible in the foreground and is titled "Contest" according to test subjects. A single armored figure can be seen in the middle of the painting basking in the fire and destruction. Test subjects often describe the figure in different armor or battlefield attire. The figure is seen holding various weapons. Common examples include a Roman centurion holding a gladius, a heraldic knight in full plate armor holding a poleaxe, or a "modern" soldier from an indistinguishable nation holding either an M4 or AK variant rifle. The area around RPC-715-3, roughly 3-meters in a semicircle on the anterior side, is 10-15° Celsius above the ambient temperature. Test subjects exposed to RPC-715-3 immediately notice the rise in temperature even when not in the 3-meter semicircle. Test subjects begin to sweat profusely within only a few minutes. Several tests have shown that subjects' internal temperatures rise at a constant 0.5° C per minute while exposed to RPC-715-3. Subjects' adrenaline begin to spike after 5 minutes of exposure. At this point, subjects begin to hyperventilate and become hostile to all site personnel and other test subjects. After 20 minutes of constant exposure, test subjects' adrenal glands begin to rupture, and their internal organs begin to fail due to high internal temperatures. Subjects removed from the viewing area of RPC-715-3 slowly begin to cool and assume normal body functions. In most cases, test subjects need to be treated for dehydration and hyperthermia. They are, however, far more prone to extreme acts of violence and more susceptible to extremist ideologies. Amnestics have proven to help with the long-lasting effects. Warning: ASF personnel are not permitted to enter Hall L-7 adjacent to RPC-715-3's containment cell during testing. RPC-715-3's area of influence fluctuates while actively being viewed. CSD personnel with violent pasts are not to be used for testing RPC-715-3. When being viewed by a violent person all the anomalous effects of RPC-715-3 increase in a currently unknown way. Its effects no longer require a direct line of sight and expands for each individual inside its area of effect. Temperatures 15 meters of the anterior side spiked to 137° C with seven people under its influence. Internal temperatures of these individuals reached 292° C before finally succumbing to their internal injuries. Modified containment protocols are currently being considered.

RPC-715-4 "Shawalu Crowned" Visual Hazard Auditory Hazard Ideological Hazard Mind-Control Hazard The fourth instance of RPC-715 titled "Shawalu Crowned" was the first instance done while in the Authorities custody. RPC-715-4 was completed on December 25th, ████ at 16:42, while RPC-715 was being transferred to its cell (see Incident Report 71512-06). Routine medical screening of RPC-715 has shown signs of severe nerve damage after completing RPC-715-4. It has also shown to have a complete loss of its ontological self, no longer remembering details about itself. This is to such severity that RPC-715 no longer answers to its name, claiming he has never heard "that name" before. RPC-715 instead identifies with the reported names of the other instances of RPC-715, calling them pieces of itself or its children. RPC-715 completed RPC-715-4 in only 2.2 seconds using a paintbrush made from a stolen fork from the mess hall and hair from an unknown source. Artistic depiction of Shawalu 1633 C.E. Test subjects describe RPC-715-4 as a cityscape very similar to RPC-715-3 before its destruction. Instead of an armor-clad individual in the center, there is instead varied accounts of an individual moving into the graying cityscape. All the denizens of the city are bowing before the figure or reaching up towards him/her in anguish. Test subjects frequently describe the figure differently. Accounts vary from it being a winged male flying into the city, a female riding a pure white horse, or vice versa. All test subjects with prolonged exposure to RPC-715-4 claim that the sky becomes darker while more people appear in the foreground looking anguished reaching for the figure. At this point, the test subjects say they hear thousands of voices chanting and screaming "Shawalu Crowned מלך ". Test subjects exposed to RPC-715-4 for any amount of time experience a subconscious shift to become subservient towards any perceived authoritarian figure or entities. They often refer to any authoritarian structure or group as Shawalu. [+] Access Incident Report 71512-06 [-] Close Incident Report 71512-06 Incident Report 71512-06 Incident: While being transferred from its containment cell during weekly cell inspection, RPC-715 is seen on Hallway Cam L-7 being escorted by two armed ASF personnel towards its containment cell from a temporary cell. It stops momentarily and faces the walls adjacent of the direction of travel. RPC-715 then makes two stokes against the wall lasting 2.2 seconds. A space on the wall measuring 1 x 1.5 meters distorts the recording with the anti-memetic effect shown in all other instances of RPC-715. Both members of the ASF detail stop and make visual contact with RPC-715-4 before apprehending RPC-715 and radioing in a containment team for RPC-715-4. AAR: Both members of RPC-715's ASF detail exposed to RPC-715-4 were detained following the incident by the research team. However, neither ASF agent seemed to be affected by RPC-715-4 until returning to duty. Both agents referred to every officer in their chain of command as Shawalu and would follow any order given to them immediately. Both agents were amnesticized and reassigned after attempting to expose █ site personnel to RPC-715-4. Note from Dr. Merodak: RPC-715 is no longer permitted to leave its cell for any reason unless approved by the Site Director. RPC-715-4 is to be cut from the wall and all personnel exposed to its visual effect are to be administered a Class 3 amnestic. RPC-715-4 could prove to be of valuable use to the Authority in making violent and sentient RPC's more docile and open to suggestion. This suggestion, however, is currently under review until the Authority can ascertain the nature of the subservient suggestion shown in test subjects. RPC-715-5 "Imhullu vs. Dearth" Visual Hazard Auditory Hazard Ideological Hazard Depiction of Marduk wielding Imhullu slaying Tiamat during the Enuma Elis The fifth instance of RPC-715, completed on September 4th, ████ at 01:12. Physical and medical examination of RPC-715 have revealed that after the completion of RPC-715-5, every tendon in its body had been severed and it no longer had a stomach. RPC-715, however, is still capable of movement. The method in which it achieves this is currently unknown. Several members of the research team have suggested that RPC-715 no longer be classified as a "living" humanoid entity based on the fact over 80% of its body's organs no longer function. This would classify RPC-715 as an animated hazard. This suggestion is currently under review. RPC-715-5 was painted in a single stroke of RPC-715's hand on the south side of its containment cell. RPC-715-5 measures 1 x 1.5 meters and was cut out of the wall in a similar method to RPC-715-4 by containment teams. Test subjects describe RPC-715-5 as a cliff-side landscape with two entities facing each other. One stands at the top of the cliff holding a golden object frequently described as "most beautiful destruction" by test subjects. Though the figure himself is encapsulated in smoke and cannot be made out with further detail. The other entity sits at the bottom of the cliff in the valley. Subjects describe this entity as a large bipedal creature, standing anywhere from 3-10 meters tall but heavily emaciated. The entity is reaching up the cliff-side for the object. Its arm is said to be covered in patches of black and gray hair with its fingers split at the end with claw-like protrusions. Test subjects exposed to RPC-715-5 immediately begin to show signs of dehydration and malnutrition. Test subjects that were given ample food and water prior to viewing RPC-715-5 still show these signs and symptoms. After 5 minutes of exposure, subjects begin to complain about a burning sensation under their skin. Autopsies on these test subjects revealed various known and unknown symbols branded on the underside of their hypodermis. Known symbols are often related to various pantheons' war deities. Subjects with this level of prolonged exposure show a new found drive to maintain a healthy lifestyle, have higher testosterone levels, and show signs of heightened strength and endurance. Subjects requesting to learn various martial arts or any form of fighting after viewing RPC-715-5 are to be denied and administered amnestics. Note from Dr. Merodak: RPC-715-5 appears to drive individuals who view it into a "Soldier's Mindset", but it is unclear whether the symbols branded into the hypodermis of the skin cause this. RPC-715-6 "Oil and Wine" Visual Hazard Auditory Hazard Biohazard Hazard Corrosive Hazard Toxic Hazard The sixth instance of RPC-715 was completed on November 2th, ████ at 20:56 within a span of 4 minutes 52 seconds in a similar method to RPC-715-5. Examination of RPC-715 after RPC-715-6's completion has shown that RPC-715 no longer had a lymphatic system and that the mucous membranes within its body had stopped producing fluid or ruptured entirely. RPC-715-6 measures 2 x 4 meters and was painted on the south wall of RPC-715's containment cell. RPC-715-6 is described as being extremely dark. Often causing test subjects to squint even in low light (15 lumens and under). Once test subjects' eyes adjust to the low light, they describe seeing a massive cave-like structure nearly devoid of light filled with rotting food, excrement, and corpses. On top of the tallest mound of rot sits a scaly creature roughly eight to nine meters in length. Test subjects give varied accounts of the creature ranging from it having four arms and nine legs, having seven massive tentacles rooted in the mound, having an exposed bone snout with large canines, or having a spine covered proboscis. The most notable feature as reported by test subjects are the creature's eyes. The creature has anywhere between 2 and 169 piercing yellow eyes dotted across its body. Test subjects claim when they look into the eyes of the creature they hear a deep gurgling voice resonating from within them saying "Don't spill the oil and wine" or "Αφήστε την τροφή να είναι το φάρμακό σας και το φάρμακο να είναι το φαγητό σας." Subjects exposed to RPC-715-6 for any length of time exhibit various forms of illness, parasitic infection, or fungal based poisoning. Symptoms of an infection or illness do not appear to be accelerated by any anomalous means. However, several anomalous infections have been recorded within test subjects. These anomalies are as follows: RPC-179, RPC-███, and RPC-████. All test subjects exhibiting symptoms of an anomalous illness are subject to immediate incineration [See Incident Report 71515-15]. [+] Access Incident Report 71515-15 [-] Close Incident Report 71515-15 Incident Report 71515-15 Incident: CSD-0304 enters RPC-715-6's testing chamber and is prompted to look at the painting. Approximately 2 seconds after viewing RPC-715-6, CSD-0304 begins to complain about acute stomach pain. CSD-0304's stomach is visibly distended, and mucus begins to leak from his nose, mouth, and ears. Blood can be seen intermixed in the mucus which begins to fuse to the skin and harden. As the substance hardens it begins to tear the skin apart. The blood from the tears fuse with the mucus and begins to speed up the spread of the self-hardening mix. Within 123 seconds of exposure, CSD-0304's head is completely engulfed in the hardened substance. At 186 seconds CSD-0304's stomach ruptures and begins spilling a mixture of modified blood, bile, and mucus. The bile mixture appears to be highly corrosive as it melts through the containment cell's floor of reinforced concrete. Dr. Merodak orders the termination of the test and ASF teams in Class 4 containment suits move in to incinerate the subject. Both the acidic bile and the hardening mucus/blood mix show high resistance to heat. The order is given to use small arms to neutralize the subject. Bullets can be seen hitting the subject, but each bullet hole immediately begins filling with the hardening compound effectively spreading it over CSD-0304's injuries. ASF personnel request to use small explosive ordinances to stop CSD-0304 as he begins to assault the team. Permission is granted and CSD-0304 is terminated by a thrown Semtex explosive. AAR: ASF teams suffered 2 causalities and caused heavy damage to RPC-715-6's containment cell. Inspection of ASF team's containment suits revealed spores related to Stachybotrys chartarum , RPC-███, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis cells. Researchers now believe that RPC-715-6 sends out spores, parasites, or actively tries to infect anything in its proximity regardless of direct visual contact. Although, with visual contact, RPC-715-6 appears able to instantly infect test subjects. Autopsy on CSD-0304's body has led to the discovery of a previously unknown contagion, now labeled RPC-████. This contagion shows anomalous transmutations of [REDACTED] into [REDACTED]. RESEARCH/EXPERIMENTATION BAN: December 5th, ████ - Present

Authority: Site-002 Director, Sullivan

Reasoning: RPC-715-6 is to be classified as a Class 4 bio-hazard and all subsequent testing is postponed until further evaluation following Incident 71515-15. RPC-715 is to be bound so as not to allow it to manufacture any more instances of RPC-715. RPC-715-7 Visual Hazard Auditory Hazard Extreme Temperature Hazard Corrosive Hazard Contact Hazard The seventh and final instance of RPC-715 measures 5 x 5 meters and is the largest instance of RPC-715. RPC-715-7 was completed on March 10th, ████ at 03:19 and was completed within 10.6 seconds [See Surveillance Log 71518-13]. Within 54 seconds of RPC-715-7's completion, RPC-715 collapses. Upon further examination, it appears to have suffered total cellular death throughout its entire body. Test subjects exposed to RPC-715-7 convulse for several seconds, often crying out incomprehensibly, before dying 30-60 seconds after exposure. This effect seems to influence not only humans, but animals, batteries (which forever lose their capacity to hold a charge), sentient AI's, and even microbial life around RPC-715-7. At the moment, there are no descriptions of what RPC-715-7 depicts due to the nature of RPC-715 and RPC-715-7 respectively. RPC-715-7 has an ambient temperature of 0° C at 20 meters of its anterior side. Testing has shown that the temperature continues to drop at closer proximity to RPC-715-7 though accurate measurements have proven difficult to ascertain. While using an infrared thermometer, researchers discovered that light around RPC-715-7 becomes distorted and is then absorbed. Final temperature readings before the infrared beam became distorted read -78° C. All matter within 5 meters of the anterior side of RPC-715-7 begins to deteriorate at a rapid rate. It is unclear at this time if the matter of objects deteriorated by RPC-715-7 are destroyed in such a way that they are erased from our reality and transported to another or by subverting the natural laws of our reality. Whichever way, objects exposed to a close proximity to RPC-715-7 are so thoroughly destroyed that no trace of them are left behind. This anomalous effect extends outward in a perfect parallel line from the top and bottom edge of RPC-715-7. [+] Access Surveillance Log 71518-13 [-] Close Surveillance Log 71518-13 Forward: Footage from RPC-715's containment cell camera. RPC-715 lays bound face down on the floor. It had remained undisturbed in this position for 12 hours prior to the footage shown. <Begin Log> 03:02:58- RPC-715 lays bound in the center of its containment cell. 03:03:00- RPC-715's restraints begin to dematerialize as RPC-715 begins to convulse. 03:03:46- RPC-715's restraints are no longer visible as it stands and walks to the south wall of its containment cell. 03:04:39- RPC-715 begins to sob. ASF teams are notified of RPC-715 activity. 03:07:58- Containment and ASF teams position themselves outside RPC-715's containment cell. 03:09:00- RPC-715's convulsions intensify as it places its hands on the south wall of its cell. 03:19:41- RPC-715 steps back from a completed RPC-715-7. 03:19:50- RPC-715 convulsions stop as it yells "Release me!" 03:20:35- RPC-715 collapses. Note from Dr. Merodak: RPC-715 and all others exposed to RPC-715-7 do not show any signs of decomposition but instead suffer from absolute cellular death. RPC-715's body is to remain in containment and monitored. RPC-715 could hardly be considered alive before completing RPC-715-7 and with the inherent dangers of RPC-715-3, RPC-715-6, and RPC-715-7. I don't want it getting back up and making another one. Updated containment procedures have been approved and added to the document.
