Hosts spreading RPC-206 to a non-anomalous humanoid.
Registered Phenomena Code: 206
Object Class: Omega-Orange
Hazard Types: Grouped, Incorporeal, Tychokinetic, Immeasurable, Emotional, Ideological
Containment Protocols: Due to the nature of RPC-206, along with Union influence in the United States federal government preventing the Authority from "taking any action that would unjustly attack, oppress, or otherwise restrict the religious freedom of United States citizens" under threat of military opposition, RPC-206 cannot be directly contained. Instead, a disinformation campaign must be run discrediting RPC-206 hosts. MST Victor-1 “Tunnel Vision” is tasked with subtly drawing attention away from churches related to RPC-206. RPC-206 hosts are to be alienated from non-anomalous human beings and passively convinced of the nonexistence of RPC-206.
Description: RPC-206 is hypothesized to be an undetectable form of anomalous radiation that can be hosted by humans with a religious affiliation, most notably ██████████████. Reception of RPC-206 is believed to be caused by charismatic worship, and causes the receiver to exhibit abnormal behaviors, such as shaking of the limbs, energetic movement, and glossolalia. Whether charismatic worship generates RPC-206, or whether RPC-206 is merely attracted to charismatic worship, is unknown.
Carriers of RPC-206 display grouping tendencies when attempting to invoke its effects, crowding together and making physical contact with one another, causing researchers to speculate that RPC-206 operates in a manner similar to heat. Individuals hosting RPC-206 display anomalous abilities that vary in form, range, and nature, but usually fall into one of the following categories:
- Anomalous knowledge
- The ability to heal sicknesses and injuries
- Manifestation of anomalous events and objects, usually in a manner beneficial to the host
- Prediction of future events
- Discernment of truth
- Glossolalia
- Interpretation of unfamiliar languages
While RPC-206 has not directly harmed humanity, the rapidness through which it spreads, and its close connection with "the Union" causes it to pose a significant threat to normalcy. Furthermore, the nature of RPC-206's effects can allow the host to escape lethal situations unharmed. A gun fired at them may pass through them without opening a wound, the only indication that they were shot at being holes in their clothing. Chemicals and toxins may fail to have any effect on them. Containing them in an Authority site could cause a containment breach of unknown severity.
Discovery: RPC-206 manifested in various isolated incidents within various religion denominations throughout the globe for centuries, but the number of carriers remained rare until the late 19th century, when accounts of RPC-206 manifestations started occurring throughout multiple religious denominations with relative frequency. MST squad Romeo-7 "Suited Gentlemen" attempted to deal with the influx of RPC-206, but were met with resistance by agents of "the Union" along with local law enforcement. Conflict between MST and Union forces came to a head on March 23rd, 1906, when the Union organized a gathering of affected individuals in Los Angeles, California. Romeo-7 attempted to prevent the Revival but were unsuccessful, resulting in a nine-year anomalous event that that spread RPC-206 throughout the US. The exact number of individuals affected by the Revival is unknown, but estimated to be in the thousands. The Revival also resulted in the establishment of new denominations and churches throughout America, furthering the spread of RPC-206.

The "████ █████" Phenomenon
The "████ █████" phenomenon that has recently swept the US is yet another ritualistic system of Magick, albeit the quickest spreading system I have encountered in my many years of study. Using a unified religious belief to strengthen the effects of their magick is hardly new, and Egregore is a well-established magick art. The only remarkable of "████ █████" magick is its ability to cancel out other forms of magick, particularly ones tied to daemons. Just last week, while I was attending a Satanic demonstration at █████████ University, I could sense an aura emanating from one man. The aura seemed to project from the man like rays of light, drowning out the aura of the witch like a light destroying a shadow.
Perhaps this aspect of "████ █████" magick is caused in part by the opposing natures of Christianity and Satanism, and how Christianity is far more prevalent than Satanism. This leads to a possible explanation of the magick's strength: Christianity is one of the largest religions worldwide and accounts for over 50% of the US population. Perhaps these "████████████" are channeling the beliefs of the overall Christian faith through this "████ █████" magick.
Addendum: Espionage of RPC-206 host gatherings has revealed a recurring anomalous event that occurs towards the end ceremony. In this event, referred to hereon as RPC-206-1, the room will suddenly go quiet; voices become softer or halt altogether, instruments sound more muted, the only exception being a single RPC-206 host, who will speak in an unidentified language. Shortly after the individual finishes speaking, another instance will begin speaking in the local language; presumably in a translation of what was spoken. Both instances can be clearly heard throughout the room regardless of room size, leading researchers to theorise that RPC-206-1 events are influencing the vibration of mechanical waves.
Report 1:
Worship consisted of the songs "How great is our God," "You Are Worthy," and "Potter's Hands."
Sermon opened with the reading of Jeremiah 18:1-4. Pastor used the passage as a metaphor for how God works in our lives.
Alter call used the song "Dance Like David"
RPC-206-1 transcript: I have done more for you than you have given me credit for. There are so many great things I have already prepared for you. Open your hearts and receive me.
Notes: There was an elderly lady in front of me that kept glancing at me during service. There seemed to be a sort of apprehension about her, as if my presence was making her uncomfortable. Probably just wariness caused by an unfamiliar face.
Report 2:
Worship consisted of "Waymaker," "Waymaker," and "Waymaker."
Sermon was about silencing the distractions in our lives. Preacher mentioned the adversary trying to confuse followers with white noise.
Alter call used the song "Spirit Break Out"
RPC-206-1 transcript: The enemy has many tongues, seeking to drown out the truth with noise. Do not allow yourselves to be misled by his many deceptions.
Notes: People are avoiding me. They're trying not to be obvious about it, but it's there. The lady sitting in front of me moved to a different pew. I spotted her talking to the Pastor after service; they both glanced at me as they talked. Could RPC-206 be warning them of my true intentions?
Report 3:
Worship consisted of "My God is an Awesome God," "Every Knee Shall Bow," and "Our God Is Greater."
Sermon was on the need to surrender to God, and relinquishing the desire for control.
Alter call used the song "Break Every Chain"
RPC-206-1 transcript: My strength is without equal, who can hope to prevail against me? My promise cannot be held back; my presence cannot be shackled. Know that my might is equaled only by my mercy. It is not too late; cease your resistance, and submit yourself to me.
Notes: It knows. I don't know how, but it's on to us. It knows our plans, it knows we're spying on it, it knows everything. The man who translated faced me as he spoke. He, IT, was talking to me.
Due to mental breakdowns of undercover agents, and the apparent ability of RPC-206 to reveal their presence, further observation of RPC-206-2 events is to be postponed indefinitely.
