Inoculated EG:1 TERS instance.

Required Clearance: Level 2 (EG: 1 - 2), Level 3 (EG: 3 - 4)

Purpose: General Purpose Amnestic

Overview: TERS-Class Glyphs are the most common and widespread class of EGs in Authority research projects, being also the most simple ones to manufacture. They have been proposed for usage by Protectorate, ASF and MST personnel as an all-purpose amnestic.

EG:1: Level 1 TERS-Class Glyphs have the ability to erase short term memory from 3 to 5 hours prior to administration. Their usage is limited to quick-response missions or immediate sighting of infringing subjects, as they are inefficient against extended exposure to classified information. Their color scheme is #FFCD05 with an intensity of 800 Lumens.

EG:2: Level 2 TERS-Class Glyphs have the ability to erase most of a subject’s short term memory (total hours change from subject to subject) with a 90% rate of success. Commonly utilized for individuals being released from Authority capture after extended periods of interrogation, as well as those that managed to evade early-stage amnestic raids. Their color scheme is #26F53A with an intensity of 900 Lumens.

EG:3: Level 3 TERS-Class Glyphs allow for long term memory erasure, ranging from 3 weeks to 2 months. It is at this point that the success rate drops to 70%, with certain gaps of memory being left in the subject’s brain even after repeated usage. Due to this, Level 3 TERS glyphs are only recommended when the use of MUTA glyphs is unavailable. Their color scheme is #684FE6 with an intensity of 1015 Lumens.

EG:4: Level 4 TERS-Class Glyphs can erase up to 1 year of a subject’s memory with an overall success rate of 50%. Usage of these glyphs has shown to cause permanent neurological damage to the subject as well the eventual return of erased memories following a 5 month period. Their color scheme is #49FAFC with an intensity of 1300 Lumens.

TERS-M:¹³ A combination of TERS-Class (1) and MUTA-Class (2) Glyphs. TERS-M functions on a 5-Digit (1 - 1 - 2 - 1 - 2) symbol alternation cycle between both glyphs. This cycling allows for the precise erasure of any memory in a period of 3 to 72 hours while leaving the rest intact. It also allows personnel to fill in the memory gap with false information.

TERS-I:¹⁴ A simple combination of TERS-Class (1) and INAN-Class (2) Glyphs. Working on a 2-Digit (1 - 2) symbol alternation cycle, it allows for the short term erasure of a subject’s memory before knocking them unconcious for upwards of 6 hours. This combination can also include a Level 2 MUTA-Class in between to implant false memories before the effects take place.

Inoculated EG:1 INAN instance.

Required Clearance: Level 2 (EG:1), Level 3 (EG: 2 - 3), Level 4 (EG: 4)

Purpose: Physical Inhibitor

Overview: INAN-Class glyphs, unlike all other EGs, produce different effects on one’s body rather than one’s brain.¹⁵ The type of effects an INAN glyph may have depends on the brightness of the color¹⁶ as well as the duration of the exposure, with the effect’s potency increasing as does the latter. They are commonly used as non-lethal defense by ASF personnel.

EG:1: Level 1 INAN-Class Glyphs are the most simple instances, producing an immediate reaction on the subject’s body, that being unconsciousness. The effect has been described as a sudden weakening of the limbs topped with an immense weight all over one’s body. The effect lasts up to 2 hours. Their color scheme is #339967 with an intensity of 600 Lumens.

EG:2: Level 2 INAN-Class Glyphs work in a similar manner to the previous level, but with a higher intensity. Individuals subject to this level can stay unconscious for upwards of 18 hours. Subjects reporting mild headaches following their awakening, with weaker-bodied subjects reporting nausea. Their color scheme is #05993B with an intensity of 1000 Lumens.

EG:3: Level 3 INAN-Class Glyphs have a more prolonged effect on a subject’s body, leaving them in a state of semi-consciousness. Subjects under this effect have trouble walking and performing simple tasks, as well as an increased level of aggression towards other individuals. The effect lasts from 3 to 7 hours, although some subjects are able to recover in less than an hour. Their color scheme is #F59F93 with an intensity of 800 Lumens.

EG:4: Level 4 INAN-Class Glyphs have an effect that only lasts as long as the subject is viewing it. Upon sight, subjects will attempt to reach the symbol while disregarding anyone or anything they may have been previously interacting with, and will remain in this state until they are removed by a third-party. Subjects become highly susceptible to commands by whomever may be holding the symbol.¹⁷ Subjects do not seem to recall any actions conducted by them during this state. Their color scheme is #B589E6 with an intensity of 400 Lumens.¹⁸

INAN-QM:²⁰ A variation of the previous combination that includes MUTA-Class (3) Glyphs. INAN-QM functions on a 4-Digit (1 - 2 - 3 - 3) symbol alternation cycle that allows Authority personnel to perform short and simple actions within memetically hazardous areas without retaining any memories from it. This combination is commonly used by Protectorate personnel and Exploration Teams as a last resort when trapped or entering high cognito-hazardous spaces.

Inoculated EG:1 MUTA instance.

Required Clearance: Level 3 (EG: 1 - 2), Level 4 (EG: 3 - 4)

Purpose: Gaslighting Mechanism

Overview: MUTA-Class Glyphs allow for the manipulating of existing memories within a subject’s brain as well as the implantation of new ones. This process can be achieved by talking to the subject while under the effects from MUTA or by incorporating pre-fabricated memories within the design itself. Most instances of MUTA glyphs are utilized by Authority personnel during large scale gaslighting campaigns.

EG:1: Level 1 MUTA-Class Glyphs are most widely-used by Authority personnel, as they allow for the implementation or replacement of memories within a subject’s short term memory. Only specialized personnel are allowed to utilize them, as non-believable information implanted to a subject can be discovered and replaced by its original versions. Their color scheme is #362063 with an intensity of 300 Lumens.

EG:2: Level 2 MUTA-Class Glyphs work similarly to Level 1, but allow for the implantation of memories deep within a subject’s long-term memory. They also allow personnel to inject a certain idea or memory to a subject short-term memory, allowing them to guide their actions without direct contact. Personnel need to be extremely specific with these core ideas, as slight variances may result in undesired outcomes. Their color scheme is #3058E6 with an intensity of 300 Lumens.

EG:3: Level 3 MUTA-Class Glyphs allow for the creation of future memories within a subject’s memory. Any actions carried out by the subject following application will be replaced by the suggested memories. Due to the volatility of human interaction, this can lead the subject to extreme confusion, but it has shown useful in allowing personnel to conduct actions that may require memory erasure during or after the fact, but that also require full autonomy and efficiency. Their color scheme is #E66F33 with an intensity of 500 Lumens.

EG:4: Level 4 MUTA-Class Glyphs are a recently discovered form of MUTA Glyphs, allowing for the reconfiguration of a subject’s deep long term memory or personal values. However, this has not shown great success, and more often than not causes the subject to acquire two conflicting sets of memories. Studies into further applications of this level are undergoing. Their color scheme is #9E906A with an intensity of 400 Lumens.

MUTA-T:²¹ A combination of MUTA-Class (1) and TERS-Class (2) Glyphs. MUTA-T is a highly experimental combination that functions on a 6-Digit (2 - 1 - 1- 2 - 2 - 1) symbol alternation cycle that could, theoretically, allow for one to completely replace more than 80% of a subject’s long term memory for fabricated events, as well as changing their personality. No human trials have been authorized yet, but suggestions for its use when firing personnel has been discussed, although its results may prove fatal.

MUTA-N:²² A combination of MUTA-Class (1) and NITO-Class (2) Glyphs. MUTA-N is a combination that functions on a 4-Digit (1 - 2 - 1 - 2) symbol alternation cycle that allows a subject to cease all non-major bodily functions, outwardly appearing to have expired. Subjects will return to a normal state 3 hours following its use. This combination has been commonly used by captured Authority personnel to be released as waste due to an apparent expiration, allowing them, in some cases, to safely return to a nearby site.

Inoculated EG:1 QUIE instance.

Required Clearance: Level 2 (EG: 1 - 2), Level 3 (EG: 3 - 4)

Purpose: Memetic Protection

Overview: QUIE-Class Glyphs, in contrast to all other classes, aids in the protection from cognito-hazardous threats such as memetic anomalies instead of producing them. Due to their safe nature, QUIE-Based equipment can be found all throughout facilities at the disposal of personnel who may require it, although not without certain restrictions. This class is most commonly utilized by Protection personnel when facing unknown anomalies that may prove memetically dangerous, as well as during rescue missions.

EG:1: Level 1 QUIE-Class Glyphs are the most common type of QUIE glyphs. They allow a subject’s brain to become inoculated from most low-level cognito-hazardous threats for a period of around 2 hours. They can be commonly found as self-applicable devices across several sites and external laboratories. Their color scheme is #ED1B68 with an intensity of 100 Lumens.

EG:2: Level 2 QUIE-Class Glyphs function in the same manner as the previous level but with a higher resistance to medium-level hazards. However, Level 2 and onwards possess the side-effect of also preventing certain neuron connections from triggering on the brain, leaving personnel feeling light-headed for hours following repeated usage. Their color scheme is #F54B39 with an intensity of 100 Lumens.

EG:3: Level 3 QUIE-Class Glyphs allow for near-perfect inoculation against memetic hazards, but leaves personnel in a state of severe confusion and light-headness for the duration of it (commonly 2 hours). Level 3 glyphs are not recommended for use unless strictly necessary. Repeated usage can lead to permanent psychological damage and in some cases, partial paralysis. Their color scheme is #B87F79 with an intensity of 100 Lumens.

EG:4: Level 4 QUIE-Class Glyphs completely nullify any types of anomalous, or non-anomalous, effects that may target the brain, which results in Level 4 glyphs having similar effects to Videric drugs. However, certain neural connections responsible for basic biological functions such as breathing may be turned off, causing the death of the subject. Their color scheme is #F5B649 with an intensity of 200 Lumens.

QUIE-T:²³ Commonly called “Brainaid'' or “Quiet” by Trauma Team personnel, it uses a mix of QUIE-Class (1) and TERS-Class (2) Glyphs. QUIE-T functions on a 2-Digit (1 - 2) symbol alternation cycle that allows for both the erasure and inoculation of oneself after suffering the effects of a memetic hazard. Usage of QUIE-T has proved more efficient than current practices, leaving no lasting effects in personnel suffering from memetic damage in contrast to previous methods.

QUIE-N:²⁴ A combination of QUIE-Class (1) and NITO-Class (2) Glyphs. QUIE-N is a combination that functions on a 3-Digit (1 - 1 - 2) symbol alternation cycle that mitigates the negative effects of Level 2 NITO glyphs while retaining those that are beneficial. Although useful for research, personnel are encouraged to use it sparingly, as it may develop into an addiction.

Inoculated EG:1 NITO instance.

Required Clearance: Level 4 (EG: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4)

Purpose: Varied Cohesive Manipulator

Overview: NITO-Class Glyphs are the only ones not currently allowed for wide-spread usage due to their overall harmful effects on the brain. Most usage of NITO Glyphs comes in the form of study, or isolated testing with Level 2 instances. Combinations with other classes, excluding those already mentioned, will not be included due to their inefficiency or danger to personnel health.

EG:1: Level 1 NITO-Class Glyphs are known to produce mild headaches to all those that witness it. Constant exposure to this level will result in increasing head pain, which may evolve into nausea and dizziness. Their color scheme is #679A99 with an intensity of 400 Lumens.

EG:2: Level 2 NITO-Class Glyphs are, in all that it can be considered, the most useful type of NITO glyphs. Exposure to Level 2 will result in elevated brain activity and neural connections, similar to those experienced with psychedelic drugs, allowing for increased productivity. However, personnel will experience severe headaches and disorientation during this period. Research into isolating its beneficial effects are underway. Their color scheme is #F52238 with an intensity of 300 Lumens.

EG:3: Level 3 NITO-Class Glyphs are capable of causing seizures in individuals that do not possess any record of epileptic seizures or related conditions. Further exposure may result in permanent brain damage and the loss of major motor skills. Their color scheme is #F5EA8D with an intensity of 1000 Lumens.

EG:4: Level 4 NITO-Class Glyphs are capable of causing a complete breakdown of the nervous system with a near 100% success rate. Exposure needed for this effect to take is 4 seconds, and will always result in the termination of the subject. Usage of this level is strictly prohibited from use by any personnel regardless of clearance. Their color scheme is #F0D6F3 with an intensity of 800 Lumens.

Level 5+ Glyphs are the ones found directly in RPC-727 during Lightning Activity Levels of level 5 and higher or after it has terminated a being of sufficient size. They are generally labeled "Level 5", as their properties are uniform and do not vary with increasing intensity.

All of these glyphs are extremely dangerous to human life, and attempts to replicate them are both material demanding and highly hazardous. Personnel stationed in OL-Site-727 are advised to stay within closed doors during events such as this. All personnel who venture outside are to be considered lost.

EG:5 TERS: Level 5 TERS-Class Glyphs possess the ability to leave 90% of personnel who witness it in a permanent comatose or vegetative state. Personnel who survive suffer a massive amount of memory loss, and in most cases, contract severe cases of dementia and Alzheimer's. Use of QUIE-T has shown no success in reverting these effects.

EG:5 INAN: Level 5 INAN-Class Glyphs work in a similar manner to Level 4, although in this case, subjects will also begin to fiercely defend RPC-727 from all individuals in the area as they approach it. Unless stopped, affected subjects will enter its 10m radius and be terminated, further increasing the effects of all other glyphs.

EG:5 MUTA: Level 5 MUTA-Class Glyphs are arguably the least dangerous of them all, as sighting them will result in the subject’s memory of RPC-727 being replaced by non-consequential events. Attempts to make affected subjects remember RPC-727 has failed, even when brought directly in front of it, commonly citing that “there is nothing there”.

EG:5 QUIE: Level 5 QUIE-Class Glyphs will, upon sight, cause the subject’s brain to isolate itself from any outside information, including the five senses. Subjects that have recovered describe this state as being trapped within one’s own brain. Currently, there is no known trigger for subjects to leave such a state, appearing to be completely random.

EG:5 NITO: Level 5 NITO-Class Glyphs are the most common cause of termination when working around RPC-727, as sight of them will cause a complete breakdown of the brain, nervous system, cramping of the muscles, amongst others. No subject has been found to survive a direct exposure to this level.

Recent developments in EG inoculation techniques has allowed personnel to discover that certain parts of their design consist of “High-Level” Celantur²⁶ anomalies; they cannot be perceived without intake of Videric²⁷ drugs. These anomalies are meta-physical, and naturally created by near-perfect replication of EGs from their original instance, but can also be manipulated and independently replicated by skilled calligraphers. The proper functioning of EGs appears to depend entirely on their presence.

These anomalies have been nick-named “Active Extergito Components”, or simply “components”. Each functional EG has between 3 and 20 components, increasing in quantity as their level increases.

These discoveries have opened to the Authority the possibility of designing unique EGs and combining them, at the risk of creating powerful kill-agents that are hard to dispose of safely. The process of EG production is detailed below.

Preparation & Design

A qualified calligrapher is exposed to 5-10 seconds of QUIE-T EG combination, potentially protecting them in the event they accidentally produce a harmful EG. Then, they ingest 100mgc of Oniritryptin²⁸ or applies two eye-drops of Neo-Opticin²⁹ to each eye.

The calligrapher is then positioned inside an available production desk, each of which is prepared with a graphics tablet and a suitable pen. Freeform design sessions are discouraged; instead, the EG1 team prepares a list of component combinations they desire to test for a single production session. Unique EG components may be proposed and tested by calligraphers after the list is exhausted. Sessions can last no longer than 6 hours, after which the effects of QUIE-T begin to fade. New EG designs produced this way are named “Neo-Glyphs”, in order to differentiate them from “natural” instances.

Viewing of EGs under the influence of Viderics has often been compared to interaction with four-dimensional objects; personnel often describe the process of production as “grasping a larger machine” in a manner that is characterized as clumsy and exceedingly difficult. Particularly difficult design sessions can last up to 5 hours without a single successful product.

Personnel who accidentally discover hazardous EGs notice so by experiencing lost time — abruptly realizing that a portion of their short-term memory is missing. For these cases, they have been supplied with an emergency deletion button adjacent to the production desk, which also stores the design in its internal memory. Each desk is capable of warning personnel when their design is approaching one that has been previously deleted during an emergency.

In case QUIE-T protection is insufficient, and the calligrapher is killed or suffers from visibly harmful effects, the site’s ASF guard may activate the emergency deletion remotely or lock down the desk chamber for manual disposal.

Testing:

Once a batch of unique EG designs has been produced, they are forwarded to testing, which is divided in two phases.

OL-Site-727’s Room 03 is stocked with a large quantity of Mus Musculus (house mouse) for phase one of testing. This phase primarily exists to filter EG designs that possess harmful properties with no further effects; individual mice are manually cycled into an observation chamber in groups of three, where they are strapped and forced to view a suitable display, then replaced by another group. Each group is then moved into isolation and observed for two weeks. Should they display minimal or no harmful effects, the corresponding glyph moves to phase two of testing.

Phase two of testing requires a CSD to describe the immediate perceptual effects of inoculation, then undergo a specialized interrogation battery. Further information is available at the request of Level 5 personnel.

Archival:

Once testing is finished, glyph designs are stored in a specialized digital format signaled by the .glyph extension. This format is designed to offer details regarding the effects of the EG in question when opened as a .txt file, and display the glyph if opened with specialized testing software, available on OL-Site-727 and Site-074.

One EG archive is maintained in both of these Sites, in the event OL-Site-727 is destroyed by RPC-727's properties, overrun by Monarch Security, or falls into the hands of a third party, possibly as a result of armed conflict. Should this come to pass, OL-Site-727's archive can be remotely detonated from Site-074.

Following significant evolution of microLED technology, development of inoculation equipment for both internal and external purposes has been reactivated. Early human and virtual precision testing has shown promising results; test subjects respond as expected, and both machine and Viderics-enhanced human verification has been successful. A limited number of prototypes is available for field use, most of which are kept throughout NORTHCOM Sites and Site-074.

Project EG2 has produced two inoculation device designs, as listed below.

XQ-109 Short-Distance Projector:

A reimagining of the disparate marksman EG projector, XQ-109 conceptual designs are similar in shape to a handgun. Current prototypes cannibalize the frame of a M1911, replacing its firing mechanism for a dial-operated, miniaturized microLED display, and using the magazine well as battery storage. It is similar in outline to a LED hand spotlight.

Potential dial designs vary; certain proposals include as few as three individual EGs, while other, bulkier alternatives are capable of programming glyph combinations on the spot or quickly flashing pre-set combinations. INAN and TERS combinations are the most commonly used in more compact designs, with significant debate surrounding the versatility of MUTA.

Authority Central Intelligence has additionally requested that XQ-109 designs account for potential usage as weapons; Level 1 and 2 INAN, as well as Level 4 NITO could potentially be useful for short-quarters combat, as non-lethal and lethal measures respectively.

The issue of unwieldy usage has largely been resolved; provided the distance between the eyes and the projector is smaller than ~20cm, successful inoculation is guaranteed in a large variety of lighting conditions.

"Quick-Aid" Self-Inoculator

Rather than a distinct apparatus, attempts are being made to merge internal-purpose EG inoculation with already-existing advanced head-mounted displays.

While it is uncertain whether currently available displays in use by MSTs and Containment Division specialists are capable of replicating the precision required for EGs to function as intended, a prototype program nick-named "Quick-Aid" is undergoing development.

Were display testing to be successful, it is possible the program could be integrated to special helmet displays and triggered by specific facial motion.

For the purposes of OL-Site-727’s projects, a number of Virtual Reality headsets have been modified and enhanced for inoculation of EGs.

NOTE: The above prototypes are believed to significantly diminish or entirely negate the superior cost efficiency of EGs when compared to amnestics. Furthermore, it is nearly impossible to inoculate large populations with EGs, compared to the relative ease of spiking water supplies with Lethium amnestics. However, they are significantly easier to apply and may be better suited for usage by field agents, ASF guards, MST members, and Protectorate Rangers.

The process of testing glyph combinations is largely similar to the production of Neo-Glyphs; they are divided into two test rounds, one with mice and other with humans. The details of this process will be omitted from this resume.

EG combinations that include Neo-Glyphs are noticeably more volatile and harder to control and predict than regular combinations, greatly limiting their usefulness. Nevertheless, two successful Neo-Glyph combinations have so far been produced; INAN-V and TERS-V.

Both of these are 2-digit alterations, using the VOKK Neo-Glyph. INAN-V is capable of implanting an overriding goal within the affected subject, causing a monomaniacal obsession until the goal in question is achieved, and TERS-V causes the complete removal of all memories associated with a trigger phrase implanted during inoculation.

Most other combination attempts have been unsuccessful; methods to determine the properties of an EG combination without testing are underway.³⁰

A sample list of tested glyph combinations and their results is attached below. Neo-Glyphs produced on OL-Site-727 will be underlined.

[Combination Name]

Glyphs Used:

Symbol Alternation:

Results:

INAN-A

Glyphs Used: Level 3 INAN (1), Level 1 ABYE (2)

Symbol Alternation: 3 Digit (1 - 2 - 1)

Results: Subjects perform a right-arm swiping movement immediately upon viewing. Minor variations of this combination result in different limb movements, all restricted to the right side of the body.

MUTA-D

Glyphs Used: Level 3 MUTA (1), Level 1 DAFF (2)

Symbol Alternation: 6 Digit (1 - 1 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 2)

Results: Memories implanted by this combination appear to closely resemble events that happen in the immediate timespan after inoculation, resulting in an intense feeling of deja vu. Variations are highly limited, as DAFF EGs do not vary in properties between Levels.

NITO-VTa

Glyphs Used: Level 2 NITO/2³¹ (1), Level 4 VOKK (2), Level 2 TACK (3)

Symbol Alternation: 4 Digit (1 - 2 - 1 - 3)

Results: Provokes subjects to convulse, inducing various effects depending on the parts of the body that were hurt during convulsions; damage to the hands results in the gradual replacement of teeth calcium with keratin, damage to the head results in outward growth of the cranium, and damage to the eyes results in the development of empty orbital cavities across the chest.

NOTE: Derivative tests based on the above combination have been prohibited.

NOTICE: THE PROJECT DETAILED BELOW HAS BEEN REJECTED BY THE OFFICE OF ETHICS AND REVIEW

Inspired by the discovery that EGs do not occur naturally, OL-Site-727 researchers have entertained the possibility that architectural and product designs may be modified to replicate their effect. Initial concept work appears promising; it is likely that EGs could be seamlessly integrated into tessellating patterns for seemingly decorative purposes, or hidden in televised media and in advertisements, both physical and digital. The purpose of which is to preemptively inoculate the population of classified knowledge even when directly viewing it.

Particularly high attention has been placed into the challenge of developing a manner of integrating glyph combinations into these proposed media. Usage of compulsive EGs prepared to induce viewers to see other glyphs in a specific sequence has been proposed, but further testing is pending approval of the project.

Since the discovery of RPC-727, personnel from the Department of History have tried to tie its existence to RPC-███, both of which appear to be seemingly unrelated, both in distance and design, for the expectation of EGs.

(Excerpts from “Extergito Anamnesis: The Forgotten History”, by Alexander Wilt. The Hidden Gazette, 31st Decennial Research Fair edition, pp. 110 - 136. Published on Site-248.)

Historical Evidence:

Unlike many other regions, the Falkland islands do not possess any native inhabitants with the technical skill and resources to create RPC-727 or EGs, nor are there any other nearby civilizations or groups during that period that could have traveled into the region to construct the monolith.

We know the most common use for monoliths was to mark down territory, but nothing of value has been found around or below RPC-727, nor have there been traces of anything around it prior to discovery. Furthermore, the reason for its existence also remains unknown, as does the reason for its overtly aggressive protection over the area it inhabits. The most widely accepted theory is that, at some point in history, there existed a civilization that came across the Falkland islands, constructed a monolith for potential religious motives and protecting the land around it, only to then leave with no trace.

It is then speculated that the author of RPC-███ came across this civilization and learned of their language.³² He then wrote it down in his book only to then mysteriously disappear, much like the civilization he had met.

[…]

And then comes the grand theory regarding their disappearance: EG:5 MUTA. Much like how it erases the thought of RPC-727 from the minds of affected subjects, we believe a similar effect may have affected this civilization, following accidental and catastrophic inoculation. Forgetting themselves and all they made, their numbers quickly dwindled until nothing remained, nothing they created, and nothing they left.

Conclusion:

We may never know what truly occurred to the architects of RPC-727, and it will likely stay that way forever. We can only hope that someday they are remembered, and perhaps return to seek their long-forgotten monolith. […]

Only then we may finally know all that is left hidden in RPC-727.

Recent research papers regarding EGs have shed light into the theory that, whomever was it that created RPC-727, potentially shared an unknown language or anomalous symbology system that we now know as Extergito Glyphs. Attempts to decode the language in which RPC-727-1 instances were made has become the major focus of the Cryptology Department on OL-Site-727.

Identification of Verbs:

It has been known for a time that RPC-727 is able to produce certain psychological effects by flashing unique sequences of glyphs. But until recently, the exact mechanism behind it was not fully understood. Personnel have theorized that these combinations function as phrases, while each individual glyph (counting for intensity, color, and time between cycling) refers to specific words.³³ A list of currently agreed upon translations for combinations follows:

QUIE-T: QUIE 1 (1) - TERS 2 (2) = 1 - 2 = Isolate [yourself] [and] forget.

INAN-QM: INAN 4 (1) - MUTA 3 (2) - QUIE 2 (3) = 1 - 2 - 3 - 3 = Obey [and] dream ahead [to] protect yourself [from] corruption.

MUTA-N: MUTA 3 (1) - NITO 1 (2) = 1 - 2 - 1 - 2 = Dream ahead [that] [you] suffer, [then] dream back [that] [you] live.

TERS-I: TERS 2 (1) - INAN 2 (2) = 1 - 2 = Forget [and] [then] fall.

A complete list of translations may be requested to the Cryptology Department.

Applications:

The discovery that EGs are based on a coherent language system has allowed for the manufacturing of highly complex combinations and glyph chains, all of which have proven functional given that their translation is coherent. Cryptology personnel have also begun development of several projects that aim to discover the base rules of this language in hopes of one day being able to comprehend the system by which EGs and their combinations function.

While research is slow, estimates suggest that the Department may be able to understand the grammatical rules of the EG alphabet within the next 10 years.
