RPC Authority

Original Title: "BodySupreme"

Previous Summary: The ARG used Facebook groups that appeared to inform users with generic bodybuilding advice. In particular, comments would allude to augmented biceps with synthetic actuators and artificial tissue. It possessed a subnarrative on the advancement of biotechnology and pharmaceutical conspiracy theories.

Altered Title: "Looksmaxing and Suicide, The Two Genders"

Current Summary: After the entity's involvement, the ARG took a radical narrative shift. The narrative centered on several individuals who used "incel" web forums. Moderators would act as "failed experiments" who escaped live experimentation from an undisclosed government facility. Forum messages revolved around user experiences: mostly revolving around topics as broad as depression, misogyny, gender theory, and accelerationism. Anonymous users posted pictures of themselves with swollen and deformed pseudo-muscles, which were the product of copious injections of olive oil.

RPC-296 Viewing: RPC-296-Ω-01 to RPC-296-Ω-02 instances manifest within the interior of a warehouse. The walls are covered in construction paper made to resemble a set-piece of forest pines and purple night. A ceramic wrapped elliptical moon hangs via a copper wire affixed to a ceiling pipe from above the instances. The floors are covered with oil, silicone implants, and numerous assemblages of black plastics. Sticky mounds made to appear as tumors cling to walls.

RPC-296-Ω-02 remarks on how distressing it is that his room is messy. RPC-296-Ω-01 holds up a red propane tank to his chest and pours gasoline over the floor and the instances. Background vocalizations, spoken in a hushed tone, repeat a variety of phrases: "it's all wrong", "need to redo it", and "the air is too fresh." The scene ends on a grain distortion as instances sit at the fringes of the camera view, and they remain still as they are immolated.

Original Title: "Inflatable Bodies"

Previous Summary: The ARG used digitized car commercial advertisements, aired in 1981, with specific emphasis on inflatable tube men. Photo galleries hosted a number of increasingly distorted, photoshopped combinations of inflatable tube men and human cadavers. Similar to the Youtube channel "Marble Hornets", the original authors set out to make several videos based on plastic humanoids with human facial features.

Altered Title: N/A

Current Summary: Several videos were released under new accounts on Youtube, each some variant of the name "h2carve". Audio spectrograms for the initial releases revealed cryptographic messages hidden in frequencies and sound graphs. Decrypted, the messages were a series of Google Maps coordinates surrounding a defunct warehouse in Selma, Dallas County, Alabama. Users accessing websites that hosted the coordinates without VPN or TOR relays were blackmailed and provoked by the entity — via stolen email and credit information — to go to these locations.

RPC-296 Viewing: The scene begins with eight operational television screens. The first, second, and third screen depict multiple angles of an ongoing struggle between RPC-296-α and RPC-296-Ω-01 instances; as the former male instance restricts the latter female instance via a belt around her throat and a translucent cellophane plastic wrapped tightly around her face. -Α begins crying in distress, staring upwards and away from -01's bloodshot eyes. -01 bloodies her nails clawing at the wooden floor panels.

The fourth screen depicts the two obscured by a cardboard cut-out made to appear like a bush while the fifth and sixth screen depict LED spotlights near the ceiling. The seventh screen depicts RPC-296-Ω-02 and -03 instances discussing dinner plans, with -02 remarking on how the lights "don't quite look the same as they do on television." High-pitched screams are audible in the background. -02 and -03 either ignore or cannot discern the source of the sound.

On the eighth screen, a large woodlands map of the Selma territory is depicted with two peepholes present. Through the peepholes, the videofeed captures -02 and -03's legs suspended in midair by unknown means, visibly jerking for several minutes before becoming still. Vocalizations similar to -A repeat the phrase "I'm sorry."

Commentary: "According to psychiatric reports, the individual RPC-296-α resembled incurred a series of physical assaults as a child.

Field agents eventually tracked down the warehouse. We had set up monitoring devices yet as RPC-296 livestreams continued, it became abundantly clear that none would enter the warehouse, nor would the interiors change to conform to set-pieces or props. However, the reoccurrence of the warehouse suggests a pathological behavior behind the entity; perhaps, it is their comfort zone — similar to serial murderers with typified callsigns and areas in which they frequent."

Original Title: "Babyfurs 2009"

Previous Summary: The ARG's narrative pertained to Youtube comments made by accounts with some variation of the name "babyfurs." These accounts would present startling discussions on fairly innocuous DIY videos on Youtube in 2009. Reoccurring sample comments include:

• sillysilly.powertoolll used for furnotwud.
• drill-bits-are-good-for-pushing.
• stapler diaper?
• hotglue on baby doll rub-
• nail on doggy doll nail doggy nail

Crosslinks to gore websites were present on certain comments.

Altered Title: Rainbow Children Facebook Group

Current Summary: Accounts by the name of "h2carvefur" posted multiple links on websites: namely, YouTube, Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter. Each link redirected to a Facebook group — which masqueraded as a generic LGBTQ support group — with the altered title. Various crosslinks were posted by the group. Samples included below:

• suicidehotline.com
• 911pride.org
• popthepillo.ff
• pazu.zu
• bestshaverazorblades.net

Each linked to a white page with a singular media player. On 2015/06/06, the media player flipped to an RPC-296 livestream.

RPC-296 Viewing: Hands from multiple off-screen RPC-296-Ω instances stroke and fondle a jar of emaciated butterflies, which are in a state of suspension due to a substance that pervades the interiors of the jar; it is similar in viscosity to formaldehyde. A bright, saturated star-wipe transition cuts to a black room in the warehouse. At the center is an open casket with an RPC-296-α instance wrapped in bandages. Atop the facial wraps, the name "Mellified man"⁸ (with the "man" crossed out) and two crudely drawn eyes are written/drawn respectively in an assortment of bright neon pinks, yellows, and red highlighters. A pride flag, wrapped around the neck like a noose, steadily draws the cadaver upwards.

The body dips up and down as to simulate flight whilst cheering vocalizations are heard off-screen.

Commentary: "As we are already well aware, the entity uses key characteristics of its victims as foundations for a grander theme or story. Considering this, the use of Sherman Hu's gender dysphoria seemed to mark the entity's desire to "transition" in some semblance. This hypothesis is supported by how streamlined the ARGs have become, in both artistic style and preferences the entity favors."

Original Title: 川の口、口からの悲鳴 ("the mouth of the river, the scream from the mouth")

Previous Summary: An incomplete Adobe Flash Game puzzle was to present links to several static HTML files regarding the "Murder of Junko Furuta". A heavily obscured photo was designed to pop-up on the user's browser had they achieved the right configuration within the game.

Altered Title: Цикады у реки Черемош ("Cicadas Beside the Cheremosh River")

Current Summary: A complete Adobe Flash Game puzzle with hidden artifacts in the form of image macros. These lead to various onion links; individual links presented Junko Furuta in increasingly distorted images. Malware would infect audio devices on the user's computer configuration and would output humming and vocalizations. These sounds would increase should the user see "DEEPDREAMING" become more apparent on the websites crosslinked, which is presumed to be an indicator by the entity that the user was on the right path. Sections of the final website that lead to RPC-296 exposure were blocked from users without headsets detected on their OS. After receiving instructions to plug in headphones, earbuds, or earphones, a prompt called "PROCEED" would be displayed. Afterward, all websites would link to unpublicized files of Junko Furuta in various states of undress and decomposition.⁹ Inaudible assemblages of Russian, Japanese, and a hitherto unknown language were sung in binaural frequencies.¹⁰

RPC-296 Viewing: RPC-296-Ω-01 to RPC-296-Ω-17 instances manifested within a large, dark tunnel set-piece; the archways, pillars, and paper walls are draped with viscera and fecal sludge. Spotlight rays shoot out from an unknown source beyond ceiling cracks and illuminate surfaces. As the camera operator moves forward a flowing stream is audible. Eventually, the view shifts to naked -01 to -16 instances that stand erect next to red pillars. They hold large loudspeakers that obscure their chest and genitals. Their faces resemble the distortions and lacerations present on Furuta-iteration photos via anomalous means.

A noticeable red saturation colors the individuals and objects.

Low-pitched and muffled screams are heard. From the foreground, a placard written in Kanji is zoomed-in which translates to, "Low is the dream, sleep is the key." As depicted by spurious and sometimes panicked flash-cuts backward, instances of RPC-296-Ω trail behind the camera operator. Rhythmic chanting is heard in Balachkan (an old Cossack dialect); "the mouth of the river, the scream from the mouth, the door is Cheremosh, the Cicadas sing from the Other."

Severe screen discoloration becomes more prevalent and objects depicted become pixelated and blocky. The audio swells and is merged with an accompanying Japanese chant, "low is the dream, the dream is a shadow, the shadow cleaves clean as the children dream."

At the end of the tunnel is an open doorway that leads to a highway intersection. Notably, all cars are immobile as the camera operator jaywalks to the other end and continues down a dirt road for 29 minutes before it stops at a campfire. RPC-296-α is depicted on a gurney giving birth. A burning man appears from off-screen beside the fire and attempts to open RPC-296-α's cervix. A plastic doll head sprouts from her swollen labia and the camera zooms in, centering on the doll's eyes. Then, the livestream ends.

Commentary: "A startling increase in the number of users is prevalent. Emphasis was given on gender this time as all instances were female. Research into the social media interactions these women had is underway.

As with the previous RPC excerpt, the utilization of RPC-296-α is believed to have affected the story narrative or direction of the livestream. The individual RPC-296-α resembled was a recovering alcoholic who had suffered a still-birth.

Addendum, it is my belief that this current excerpt marks an escalation in the entity's production quality and outreach as the population of instances have spiked since a count of 4 or 5.

Second addendum; upon further viewing, I and my associates marked that the burning man resembled one of the instances used in the first excerpt. Indeed, facial recognition algorithms presented a 91% comparison rating. It had been a role reprisal. The agenda, whilst unclear, presents a startling notion: instances can be used freely by the entity due to unclear anomalous capabilities. Furthermore, it presents itself as a continuous question into the unknown. From where do these livestreams take place? From where are the actors stored?"
