Registered Phenomena Code: 844
Object Class: Alpha-Orange
Hazard Types: Aggression Hazard, Animated Hazard, Extra-Dimensional Hazard
Containment Protocols: RPC-844 is to be contained in a storage locker in Site-043. Only personnel with a clearance of Level 3 or higher are permitted access to the anomaly. RPC-844 must be filled at all times and never emptied except during testing.
Description: RPC-844 is a steel cylindrical 90-liter bin with a hinged handle lid containing components of edible plants, dairy, and meats from various farm animals, such as cattle, mixed with water and other waste materials to the brim. The bottom of the bin features a black-painted marking made up of shapes consisting of circles, triangles, and squares arranged into a circular pattern.
When RPC-844 is completely emptied, a black swirling pattern will form at the bottom of the bin from which a long, maroon-colored left-handed arm approximately 3.7 m in length and constructed with five joints will emerge out of it. It will quickly grab the nearest human and drag them in, causing a new load of its primary substance to rise to the top before it closes.
The substance within RPC-844 doesn't appear to have any human components, is non-anomalous, and seems to have no side effects when fed to pigs or other livestock. The entity within appears to be aware of its environment and surroundings, capable of tracking the nearest human life, and only pursuing live humans, never animals, other organisms, or human corpses, until the bin is full.
Discovery: RPC-844 was first reported to the authorities in Linfield, Nebraska, USA, in a pig farm when an apprentice emptied the anomaly to feed a drift of pigs, only to get dragged into it. Two days before, the owner of the farm Daniel Baxter never showed up to work or answered any calls, which led one of his apprentices to visit his house, where he later found RPC-844 in a shack in the center of a painted marking on the ground similar in design to the marking inside the anomaly.
When investigating in Baxter's house, notes of a ritual mentioning an alternative way of pig feeding were found in a desk drawer. The notes contained illustrations of circular patterns identically to the ones in RPC-844 or one in the shack, and most of the items the note mentions for the ritual were founded in the shed where RPC-844 was found. It was later discovered that Baster bought the notes from an auction on eBay. However, the seller's account location could not be tracked.
Addendum 844-1
Forward
Level-3 Personnel Dr. John Wendle tested to see if RPC-844 would accept animals by operating a robotic arm to empty it in an empty containment chamber containing 12 free-range rats.
10:22 PM
RPC-844 has been emptied. The arm inside RPC-844 circled the whole chamber slowly before grabbing the robotic arm and violently tossing it at the wall while completely ignoring the rats. It then proceeds to bang on the chamber rapidly nonstop.
10:27 PM
The arm retreated, sharp teeth slowly started growing around the edge of both the top of the bin and the bottom of the lid, and a prehensile tongue grew near the top of the opposite side of the location of the hinge inside the container. It continued to bang nonstop on the wall with its whole body rapidly, with no dents forming on the bin.
10:37 PM
The teeth and tongue are fully extended outward, and two thick curved horns resembling those of a goat start growing at both edges of the lid. The container stretched to approximately 2.3 m and became more flexible, with the bottom narrowing down into a tip similar to a snake tail. The hinge contented to the lid smoothed up, and its skin slowly turned maroon and organic-like reminiscent of human skin. The anomaly begins ramming the wall after it stops lengthening.
10:45 PM
Four bumps, later identified as limbs, started growing at the front of the anomaly near the edges. The bottom two limbs grow into bulky legs with hoofed feet similar in appearance to Capras, where the anomaly stood approximately 2.8 m. The top two limbs grew into muscular arms with human hands, and when they were long enough, RPC-844 started continuously impacting the walls with its fists. Black thick fur began growing on the back, and the lid stretched upward until it resembled Bos. A pair of breasts started growing outward between the arms.
10:50 PM
The anomaly grew four extra tails and two pairs of new horns from animals such as cattle, pigs, and deer, two extra tongues sticking out of its mouth, and a second row of teeth behind the first row. In addition, it started growing in height, needing to crouch with its impacts getting stronger.
10:55 PM
The anomaly started growing two pairs of arms, a second month in the center front of the body began opening up, its canines lengthening outward, black fur continued expanding on the back until it reached down to its tail split, and two extra pairs of breasts grew below the first pair. The anomaly kept increasing until it then needed to sit down, its impact consenting getting stronger. Analysis suggests that new body features grow on RPC-844 faster than the previous ones.
10:57 PM
RPC-844 stops impacting the walls and stabs its index finger on its top left hand with its claws, and quickly draws a circular pattern different from the one inside of it and from the shack where it was found with its blood around itself. When done drawing the marking, the anomaly puts all six arms upward, and a powerful white blast of energy erupts out from the circle. After a few seconds, the energy cleared up, and RPC-844 stood in the center in its inactive state.
Closing Statement
The rats in the chamber were unharmed and entirely avoided by RPC-844 during the testing. Opening RPC-844 reveals the substances it regenerates with no difference found from previous loads. However, the personnel guarding RPC-844's test chamber Thomas Griswold was nowhere to be found. At his guard's post were two burnt footprints on the ground identical to Sus. After the incident, the anomaly's behavior reminds identically as before. Emptying RPC-844 without personnel was forbidden except when permitted by the board.
Addendum 844-2:
15 days after a drift of nine pigs was fed RPC-844's substance, their size and weight suddenly increased drastically. Weighing approximately 210 kg before being fed their first load, they now weigh approximately 430 kg each. Unfortunately, it is unknown for now how the substance's anomalous effect functions, as further studies couldn't find any difference between its components and the aliments that it's made of.
