RPC Authority

An address from the desk of G5-01 Olympus:

Hello agents, doctors, and all members of the AEP Association. The Council has decided it would be prudent to address everyone in the face of recent events. There have been many questions asked in the aftermath of the Ethos Event. "Who are we really?", "What are we doing?" and most importantly "What gives us the right?" Well needless to say these questions have raised a great deal of concerns however we seek to rectify that.

We are the AEP Association, we acquire the anomalous in hopes of studying and further understanding of how they work, we are humanity's mind. We enclose the anomalous within great cages keeping them from the general population ensuring humanity remain unaware of what lurks in the dark, we are humanity's shield. And finally we protect humanity from the anomalous at great risk to ourselves no matter the cost. We are humanity's sword.

"To put it simply, the world is in danger. When I say the world is in danger I'm not speaking of war, disease, or environmental damages. What I'm speaking of is the anomalous. What is the anomalous you ask? Well to put it simply the anomalous is anything that violates the basic beliefs of humanity. Whether it's an eldritch abomination, a group of sentient toys, or beings that travel the very dimensions there is a wide variety of things out there that humanity is not capable of dealing with. We protect humanity from these threats.
The answer to this is obvious. Humanity is not ready, they are not capable of stopping the threats anomalies pose. We do things that are considered "evil", but the ends in this case very well justify the means. We fight so they don't have to, we bleed so they don't have to, we die so they don't have to. We are prepared to do whatever it takes to protect them. The real question is, are you?

An excerpt from G5-03 Vigils briefing on AEPs Operational Info:

Hello Recruits

We are currently rushed for time so let me skip right to the point. As you know, there are 3 primary Enclosure Designations: Oriens, Meridien and Noctis. Now since these are extremely general, and tell us next to nothing about the actual nature of the anomaly, we also make use of what we call Threat Classification. To keep this brief, since our time is short, I'll lay it out for you.

Threat List:

ANOM-(0-5): This means there is no other classification that fits it, so it is simply classified as Anomalous.
DIGI-(0-5): For this, the Anomaly is somehow digital, either being a Computer, or something of that nature. Perhaps even a computer virus would be categorized this way.
DIM-(0-5): This has to do with a dimensional anomaly. For example if an anomaly exits into a Pocket Dimension, it would be classified as a DIM anomaly.
CHEM-(00-05): This means that the anomaly is somehow chemically based. For example, if a safe continually spews acid, it would probably be classified as a CHEM anomaly.
MEM-(0-5): MEM classifies anomalies as "memetic". Generally these anomalies have the habit of messing with your mind in so many ways it's not worth listing.
PHYS-(0-5): PHYS means that the anomaly is either extremely strong and/or does not conform to most physical laws. For example, a lizard that can be reduced to 5% of its body mass and survive would have a PHYS Classification.
PATH-(0-5): PATH, standing for 'pathogen', is a classification given to a virus or bacterium that is either anomalous in its own respect or can cause a disease that has anomalous effects or properties.
NEW-(0-5): If you require a new designation for your file please be sure to inform the site administrator who will relay it to us to update the records make sure to keep it preferably around 3-4 characters long. Examples, COG (cognitohazard) REDS (Reality Distorter), etc.

You may have noticed following the designation there is a sliding scale number from 0-5. While the Code designates its object type the number designates that objects threat on a scale from 0-5.

Threat Class 0: The anomaly is used in the protection of Association assets and or can be used to assist in the containment of other anomalies. This anomaly poses no threat to the association and may have been manufactured by the Association. AEP's of this class are usually designated as Vita.

Threat Class 1: The anomaly poses no apparent threat towards The Association, nor its personnel, but is strictly monitored for any unpredictable behavior. The anomalous effects/abilities are most likely almost null, or non-dangerous to Personnel working alongside it.

Threat Class 2: The anomaly while dangerous can easily be brought under control and poses minimal threat to the Association or its personnel outside of testing.

Threat Class 3: The anomaly while able to be brought under control can cause a great deal of damage to the association and its personnel and is to be considered a moderate threat. Most sentient AEPs unloyal to the Association fit this designation.

Threat Class 4: The anomaly poses a significant threat towards Association personnel. The anomaly shows highly unpredictable actions and exhibits dangerous properties that may cause significant damage to its surroundings, and or the Association.

Threat Class 5 The anomaly poses a serious threat towards Association personnel and humanity as a whole. This anomaly is considered to be the most dangerous, and its containment or neutralization must be a top priority.
