This set of interviews was taken 11 days after the process of containing RPC-356 began. Upon going to North Sentinel Island, PoI-ß-001 was found unconscious in the underbrush of the island, with multiple arrows being found stuck in his torso, presumably by the Sentinelese. He was approximately three meters away from RPC-356 which was in the middle of a small clearing. He was taken in by Authority personnel while containment procedures began and given time to recuperate before
being interviewed.
Interviewers: Agent Chopra, Dr. Dickinson
Interviewee: PoI-ß-001, Jedda Mauaka
Date: 9/11/20██
Chopra: Hello, Mr. "Ma-waka," is it? Have you been recovering nicely?
Mauaka: Yes, I have been recovering well thanks to you all. Although, it is pronounced, "Mao-aka."
Chopra: My apologies, Mr. Mauaka. Now let's get to the point. I'm sure you're ready to discuss what happened with Uniform-03. Specifically, ██████ ████████ and his squad?
Mauaka: Yes, I believe I've collected my thoughts, sir.
Chopra: That's good to hear. Could you explain to us what happened when ██████ ████████ found you?
Mauaka: Why, certainly. I was in my workshop just tidying things up after another failed expedition when I heard somebody knocking on the door. I looked over from my notes and saw my homunculus had gone up and answered it for me. He pulled back the door just enough that he could see who was there, when they kicked open the door so hard it put a crack in the desk beside it.
Dickinson: And you were sure this was ██████ ████████ and his squad?
Mauaka: Absolutely, I'd never seen such a dark-skinned human on the island in my life. Even if that weren't the case, before he spoke to me, he communicated to his companions in a language I'd never heard before. I believe he called it Swat-heelee?
Dickinson: That definitely fits with the way he's acted in the field. And among them did you see Junior researcher Mitchell? He should've been easy to see since he was the only Caucasian.
Mauaka: Ah yes, now that you mention it, I do quite recall seeing somebody who would match that description. He had a bit of a squirrely face, always seemed to be out of the loop with everything, but just went along with it.
Dickinson: That's good to know. Thank you, Mr. Mauaka, please continue.
Mauaka: Yes. As I was saying, uh, after he was done talking to his comrades, he approached me. He said, "Jedda, I've been looking all over for you. We are in need of your services, and you are in need of ours." I of course asked him what he meant by that, and he said, "Jedda, Jedda, you are looking for de solution to de problem you caused yes? Well, we have de solution, we just need your help to get around." I told him it was preposterous, every attempt I made to solve the crisis only seemed to embolden it.
Mauaka: He simply responded, "Dat's because you've been missing the biggest piece of the puzzle. Dat dere Sword of Prophecy? Dat's all dat you ever needed Jedda, and fortunately for us, it has recently lost its owner." As soon as I heard him say that my heart froze for a moment. I didn't know what he meant or how he knew that, but I knew it couldn't be good. I told him I didn't trust him and that I wasn't going to go on some journey with him just because of what he said. As I said that, the grin on his face slowly fell into a look of contempt. He grabbed my ear and uttered, "Ag, Jedda, you're not gonna help me man? Dat's no good, especially when I had to go the ex[DATA EXPUNGED]. Thankfully we don't need you to willingly come with us." Then he, he-
Chopra: Mr. Mauaka, if it bothers you too much, you don't have to say it. We understand. After t-
Mauaka: No, I'm fine. It's just a little hard when you have to bring back the memory at first. The Squad Leader, ██████, he grabbed my head, and forced it down with one hand. I had to watch as he took his other hand and grabbed some sort of needle that he plunged in some liquid he had a jar of around his waist. He raised the needle up above my head until I couldn't see it. I tried to turn but he grabbed my head with much more force and whispered into my ear, "Sharp sharp, Jedda," and then I felt a small prick at the base of my neck before everything went black.
Chopra: Thank you, that will be all for today, Mr. Mauaka.
Interviewers: Agent Chopra,
Interviewee: Jedda Mauaka
Date: 09/12/20██
Mauaka: Hello again agent, you, uh, keeping well? Sorry, I dunno what to say after it's only been a day.
Chopra: It's alright, Mr. Mauaka. I've had a restful sleep, and you?
Mauaka: Oh, you know, same as always. I still have trouble sleeping. It's like when you have that urge to do something, like you've left something very important unfinished, but you can't remember what it is. That's how it's been the last few nights.
Chopra: Noted. Now if you don't mind, can we return to the events on Cair Aisling? What do you remember after you were made unconscious?
Mauaka: Yes, I remember waking up to find myself being held up by two men. ██████ was in front of me, looking at a sort of pocket watch. Whatever he saw made him grin before he turned to me, saying, "Welcome back to de world of de living Jedda! Enjoyed your time asleep?" I didn't say anything to him, just glared. He laughed, "Ya know, Jedda, you remind me of myself, before I understood what I needed to do in life. I ge[DATA EXPUNGED], neh? I get where ya coming from, so I'll just ask dis o' ya; Where is de Castle of Dreams? Once we get there, I'm sure you'll be more willing to cooperate."
Mauaka: I figured it wouldn't be a problem to take them there, I mean getting in there would be impossible for them considering what I heard about the Castle. It turns out we didn't even need to get into the Castle. We were walking through the Corrupted Woods when we found… him.
Chopra: Him? Did you find somebody close to you?
Mauaka: No, I didn't know him too well myself, but everybody knew of The Hero, Hasan Maza. Seeing him just lying there, staring up into the sky, all semblances of life gone. ██████ just laughed. He turned to me and told me, "Well Jedda, looks like we didn't even need ya to take us all de way! Now, Jedda, you may want to look away, we wouldn't you to witness what Mr. Maza will be seei[DATA EXPUNGED] and then, well at first, he tried to just remove the sword, but that didn't work as well as he hoped. He turned to one of his squad members and ordered him to retrieve a hatchet. Honestly, I don't know how in retrospect, but at first I wasn't sure what ██████ wanted to do with it. Then he started hacking at the boy's wrist, just like it was some log he needed removed. In only two minutes, he had, um, separated the sword from it's wielder.
Chopra: Did he do anything with the body?
Mauaka: No… He almost immediately disregarded it, like it was just another piece of shrubbery. He looked at me then, and said, "We're going to de Wyrmspire now." His face seemed to be losing the color, the joviality in it, as if, as if, as if he wasn't prepared for it but he knew what was going to happen there.
Chopra: He wasn't prepared for… what he knew was going to happen there?
Mauaka: I'm sorry I don't know what I'm saying, the memories keep hazing together. Even just talking about what happened before I can't remember how long it took us to get to the corrupting woods, or the path we took. I can barely remember the appearance of anybody in the squad, even ██████. I can't remember his clothes or his equipment, but everything he said keeps ringing in my head like some terrible tinnitus. But everything else is just gone, even… his n-na-NO, that doesn't make sense how come I can't remember his, his, but I just said, why can't I remember his na-
Chopra: Mr. Mauaka! Please, calm down, I think you need some rest. Bringing these memories back must be giving you a lot of anxiety. I think this interview is finished. Please, sir, get some rest and I hope you're able to feel better in the morning.
Interviewer: Agent Chopra
Interviewee: PoI-ß-001
Date: 9/13/20██
Chopra: Hello again, do you feel better at all Mr. Mauaka?
PoI-ß-001: Absolutely, I had the most wonderful dream, twas as if the heavens themselves opened up and the Sun shined down from [REDACTED]afterlife to give me renewed energy. My eyes have been re-opened, and I don't think I'll have any problems teling you what happened in that [REDACTED]omised land of the Wyrmspire.
Chopra: O… kay? Mr Mauaka, are you sure you're fine? I've never seen you talk like th-
PoI-ß-001: Shouldn’t dilly dally this any longer. Let's get on with it then. The next morning, we arrived at The Wyrmspire. I remember being terrified, everything I knew of The Wyrmspire spoke only of its evil. We had taken a longer route in order to avoid the ashenfolk settlements, but still managed to make relatively good time. Before we entered the spire, He turned to me. He said "Jedda, you have been a great help to us. When I found'ya, I could tell your story was ending. But I will make sure your story extends to de [REDACTEend of times. Are you ready, Jedda?"
PoI-ß-001: We entered The Wyrmspire. The inside was dark, not just from shade but from a spiritual darkness, centered within the spire. I couldn't see it, but I heard Him say to one of the other members to bring forth the boy, the cartographer. He said to the boy, "James you kief researcher, nobody else would've put up with our bullshit as long as you. I give my thanks, and also, my apologies," and before the words had even finished leaving his lips there was a terrible snap, the one a twig makes when you want to be heard the least. It echoed around the entire Spire, never getting quieter, if anything it only got louder. He said, "The Throne is filled then."
PoI-ß-001: He turned to me, he said "Jedda, I'm sure ya already figured it out, but I never needed ya to be my navigator. No, you have much more important things to do both on and off of dis island. Now, I must provide the exchange to allow to happen. The shell has been emptied for ya, we just need the means to put you in it. He approached a large staircase and began to climb up it. Even as he neared the top, I could hear him as if he were just next to me. He said "Ozymandias, I come on behalf of The Eye of Azrael. I wish to take one of your vassals, and as always, provide a Fair Exchange for it. I sacrifice my name, my authority, all of it, unto you." As he chanted to himself, the darkness seemed to rise with him, and by the time he had finished his speech, he had reached the top. I looked up and behind him I saw a looming figure, with a Broken Crown.
PoI-ß-001: And he said
bPajl8oM47lm: And I said
PoI-ß-001: May God Slit His Throat
bPajl8oM47lm: May God Slit My Throat
[UNKNOWN]: May God Slit His Throat
PoI-ß-001: and in that moment, it was as if the figure and him were one, and he fell from the staircase into the well at the middle of the spire, but when I looked, he was gone. Before I could collect myself, I felt like hooks had grabbed me and were simultaneously pulling me in different directions, I could barely keep myself together for but a moment before I passed out again.
PoI-ß-001: Now, I feel like it's happening again, but its different, I feel like I'm being pulled towards a precipice and if I give in; i-if I let myself fall, It's Ove-
PoI-ß-001 collapses onto the interview table
Chopra: Jedda! Are you okay?!
Agent Chopra rushes over to the other side of the table and begins attempting to wake PoI-ß-001 before being pushed aside by them
PoI-001: Don't worry about me Laksh. You just might want to be worried about your lil' magician here though, I think letting him finally remember everything that happened made him nearly lose it! Had to take over for a moment.
Chopra: You… so you were behind all of this? You're the reason they defected C[REDACTED]?!
A buzzing sound is heard surrounding the camera
RPI-001: Don't lead me on Laksh, you knew well enough to hide all of my advertisements in the other interviews! But to answer your question, yes. You really expected after millions of years of staring at antiquities I would really be fine with a recording studio? I mean don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it for a few decades but it gets so… peaceful. I really needed to get back to the fire and this was the best way for it.
Chopra: So what now? You've opened the portal and caused whatever amount of chaos you needed for your kicks. Why are you All the Way over here now that its over?
RPI-█01: Man, I get a kick out of you! With how much awareness you seemed to have of this whole situation, I would've thought you'd figure it out by now! You just thought one division of Uniform-03 were being affected by me? They've never even walked on by my containment building!
The buzzing grows more and more steadily, making some of the speech hard to discern. Bloodflies cover the camera lens
Chopra: Oh god, we've [INDECIPHERABLE] a Loaded Gun this whole time haven't we?
RPI-█0█: Bingo! I'm sure you can feel it now, the ill wind coming for everyone in this site? This whole story was just the prologue to something much greater…
Chopra: I can't let [INDECIPHERABLE]On, I'm ending thi-
RPI-█0██: Don't talk now, or this good thing could go astray…
The buzzing stops. The lens clears as bloodflies appear to stop flying and just fall on the floor
RPI-████: And I can't watch you throw away, what was right from the start! You don't want to tear apart don't want to tear apart what would be [REDACTED]
RPC-████: Why can't you face this is meant to take place in this isle
Chopra: I… need to stop… this…
Agent Chopra pulls out his handgun, although it appears to take great effort to do so
RPC-████: Don't try to move, there's no way to improve upon a perfect design!
Agent Chopra struggles to move the handgun up towards RPC-████ then slowly aims it at his head
RPC-████: It was meant to be! All of you belong to me!
Chopra: Go to… Hell…
RPC-████: Oh, It was meant to be! All of you belong to me!
Chopra fires one round at his head
Chopra's body falls to the ground
