RPC Authority

RPC-466 was first detained on July 9th, 2019, after witnesses reported it using its anomalous properties whilst attempting to stop a bank robbery. A transcript of CCTV footage which captured the event is provided below.

[BEGIN LOG]

(Two unidentified figures enter the frame. The first figure draws a .357 Magnum pistol from their left pocket, pointing it at the teller, while the second figure does the same and begins shouting.)

Figure 2: All of you, get on the fucking ground!

(A bank attendant can be seen crawling towards a fire exit. Figure 2 points their weapon at this individual.)

Figure 2: Hey! Where do you think you're going, buddy?

(The individual recoils, and ceases movement.)

Figure 2: That's what I thought. Now, none of you better move so much as an inch, or I swear to god, I will fucking—

(RPC-466 enters the bank)

RPC-466: Stop, criminal!

(The two figures turn.)

Figure 1: Who the hell are you?

RPC-466: The guy who's gonna stop you!

(RPC-466 puts its hand towards Figure 1's face, and activates its anomalous property. RPC-466 proceeds to produce a 1.2 newton shockwave of compressed air, causing a hair on Figure 1's nose to move slightly out of place. Figure 1 stands expressionless.)

RPC-466: I, uh, I — that wasn't, I mean, uh, TAKE THIS, CRIMINAL!

(RPC-466 appears to close its eyes and tense its body, before producing another slightly greater shockwave, causing Figure 1's face to scrunch. Figure 2 appears to be holding back laughter.)

RPC-466: I-I, uh, I don't, why didn't it…

(Silence.)

RPC-466: …Please don't hurt me.

(RPC-466 is knocked unconscious by Figure 2 using the handle of their gun.)

Following this, all witnesses to RPC-466's anomalous properties⁴ were detained and administered Class-A amnestics. Shortly thereafter, RPC-466 was taken into Authority custody with little resistance and transported to Site-002 for questioning.

RPC-466: Am I under arrest?

Dr. Leighton: No, you're not under arrest. I'll explain everything in due time — please, take a seat. Mind if I call you Bob?

RPC-466: Sure, whatever. Not like it matters at this point.

Dr. Leighton: We'd just like to ask you some questions, alright? Now… (Dr. Leighton picks up a manila folder and looks through it) could you briefly explain to me what you were doing at the, uh—

RPC-466: The bank.

Dr. Leighton: Yes, the bank. Let's start there.

RPC-466: Well, I was trying to stop a robbery. With my "powers". Some powers they are… god damn it. Last time I take advice from some swindling old wizard-fuck…

Dr. Leighton: Right. and how did you acquire these abilities, exactly?

RPC-466: I was at the bar a few days back, and some stereotypical Mexican-looking guy wearing a sombrero came up to me. Told me his name was Señor Agazing, or some shit like that. Said I could "be like the X-Men!". Make all my wildest dreams come true! Only $12,000, and it’s done. Motherfucker.

Dr. Leighton: And you… accepted this offer?

RPC-466: No. At first I thought he was insane, or had a little too much to drink. But after he lit a cocktail by breathing fire, well, suffice to say I was convinced.

Dr. Leighton: What happened after that?

RPC-466: He told me to meet him at this shady back alley the next day, couple blocks from the bar. Bring the money, go in, get out. Said the whole thing would be done in ten minutes. Next day, I did just that. Took out all of my savings and headed off.

Dr. Leighton: Did they follow through?

RPC-466: Kind of? When I showed up to the place we were supposed to meet, I started to feel a little light-headed. And then I just… checked out. When I woke up I had a hole on my right palm and a piece of paper that said "AIR GUN - $12,000". A bit unusual, but if it works, it works.

Dr. Leighton: Well, did it work?

RPC-466: Clearly not! I thought I was gonna be an air-bender — not some glorified fan!

Dr. Leighton: So what now?

RPC-466: What now? What now? I'll tell you what now — soon as I'm out of here, that motherfuckers dead. 'Air gun'. Yeah. Really funny. I'll show him an air gun. It won't be made out of air, though. Motherfucker…

Following this interview, RPC-466 has been described by on site personnel as "moping" around Site-002 while using its anomaly to move small objects within the facility. The purpose of this behavior is unknown.
