A Super Stikki Situation

RPC-554

The following file is under review for further action regarding the anomaly in question and its components.

For any inquiries regarding the progress of this review, please contact Site-███'s Director. For inquiries regarding RPC-554 itself, contact Lead Researcher Salene Peterson.

Registered Phenomena Code: 554

Containment Protocols: RPC-554 is to be housed within a purpose-built humanoid containment chamber made of segmented pieces and is to be devoid of furnishings, fixtures, or unsecured objects. In the event that RPC-554-1 intentionally or unintentionally causes the manifestation of an instance of RPC-554-2a, an electromagnetic field of appropriate intensity is to be activated throughout the containment chamber. Field strength may range from 20 mT to 1,400 mT, increasing until the instance is disabled.

Should RPC-554-1's containment chamber itself become infected and designated as an instance of RPC-554-2a, all on-site security personnel are authorized to engage and neutralize the resulting threat using any necessary means. During such incidents, unless stated otherwise, RPC-554-1 is granted authorization to leave containment and assist responding personnel. No disciplinary action is to be taken against RPC-554-1 for actions performed in the course of assisting containment efforts. Personnel are advised that cooperation with RPC-554-1 during these events is strongly recommended, as its assistance has proven beneficial in previous containment breaches.

In the event a containment breach takes place on the site RPC-554 is currently contained, the Site Director and site security leadership may enact Protocol-554: “Level: Start!”. Doing so will unlock RPC-554-1's containment cell, and allow communication via PR system or screens throughout the site. RPC-554-1 is to follow any and all orders given by on-site personnel after being presented with registered credentials of level 1 or higher, prioritizing those given from higher level staff and MST personnel. The automatic implementation of Protocol-554 in the event all authorized personnel are terminated is pending.

RPC-554-1 during a training exercise relating to Protocol-554: "Level: Start!"

In recognition of sustained compliance and exemplary behavior, RPC-554-1 may be granted limited recreational privileges, including physical activity.¹ Physical activity may occur within the facility's staff fitness areas, provided that no other personnel are present except for those supervising the session. Approved entertainment media may be provided through a reinforced observation window.

As RPC-554-1 and RPC-554-2 come with their own separate hazards and descriptions, they have been segmented below for distinction between the two.

Initial concept art of RPC-554-1, "Stikki", found in the Super Stacky Situation data recovered from the ██████ Studio office where RPC-554-1 first manifested.

Description:

RPC-554-1 exhibits a visual morphology consistent with low-polygon three-dimensional digital assets from late-1990s computing software. The subject stands at 78 cm, and weighs a total of 25.7 kg. While RPC-554-1 does not speak any known languages, it instead communicates via non-linguistic auditory vocalizations with electronic substitution.² Those who are actively speaking to RPC-554-1 have reported observing a moving block of digital text translating its speech into their preferred language.

Visually RPC-554-1 resembles a Hydropotes inermis³ and possesses a vaguely anthropomorphic build consistent with video game mascot design philosophies, with a large cranium, hands, and feet in proportion to its body. X-Ray scans reveal no skeletal structure within RPC-554-1's body. The subject displays strength, speed, durability, and stamina that exceed that of average, as well as forgoing the need for sustenance and rest.

The initial turnaround⁴ art of RPC-554-1, found in the aforementioned studio office.

RPC-554-1’s appearance is conceptually identical to a character from a canceled video game titled “Super Stacky Situation 64”, which was to be released for the Nintendo 64 console in the year 1998 but was canceled for reasons that were never made public. RPC-554-1 claims to be, and visually resembles, an unlockable character with a different gameplay style to the main character “Stacky”, by the name of “Stikki”. RPC-554-1 has similar abilities to the aforementioned character, including an ability to manipulate and conjure projections of energy at various levels of intensity.

Approximately 20% of RPC-554-1's body is infected by RPC-554-2, including the upper left portion of its cranium, the entirety of its left arm and shoulder, and a portion of its left chest and back. This infection does not cause it pain, however it is described as being "uncomfortable" and "itchy”.

While it is useful in certain containment breach situations, all staff should remain wary of RPC-554-1. It holds an incredibly dangerous affliction capable of causing destruction on a wide scale. Do not trust it, it is a tool to be used in case of emergencies. It is not your friend.

Description:

RPC-554-2 is a non-sentient corruptive file embedded within RPC-554-1, and poses severe risk to personal safety on exposure. It is localized to the leftmost portion of RPC-554-1's head and hair, and the entirety of its left shoulder and arm. RPC-554-2 spreads via contact, expanding rapidly through the surface touched. While RPC-554-1 expresses personal discomfort at any testing regarding RPC-554-2, especially regarding infecting sentient creatures, it often complies without issue. Objects infected with RPC-554-2, designated RPC-554-2a will manifest low intelligence levels comparable to a crustacean or rodent, becoming incredibly violent.

Sentient creatures who become infected with RPC-554-2, designated RPC-554-2b, seemingly retain the level of intelligence they had prior to infection. This results in greater object permanence than RPC-554-2a, more advanced combative skills and tactics, and a higher capability for violence. These entities will always target RPC-554-1 if it is within approximately 10 meters. If it is isolated from RPC-554-1, it will track movement and will attack sentient creatures within the aforementioned range. Sentient creatures that are attacked by RPC-554-2a or RPC-554-2b will therein become infected with RPC-554-2, becoming another instance of RPC-554-2b.

Both subtypes of RPC-554-2 are easily dispatched with firearms, though testing has revealed the most proficient way to handle instances of RPC-554-2a/2b is containment. RPC-554-2 cannot infect structural material on its own, requiring physical contact with the infected portions of RPC-554-1. RPC-554-2 subtypes will deteriorate after approximately three hours, dissipating rapidly until nothing remains over the course of two minutes. Instances of RPC-554-2b will often display behaviors related to their prior forms in this moment, with those capable of speech able to do so but with similar vocal corruptions to RPC-554-1.

Discovery: RPC-554 was discovered 09/12/2024 on the northwestern grounds of OL-Site-██ after it had breached the outer fencing by infecting it with RPC-554-2 and dispatching the resulting instance of RPC-554-2a. When surrounded and detained by security personnel, RPC-554-1 put up little resistance beyond insisting none of the personnel make physical contact with it. The subject displayed no hostile intention, complying with all orders and reportedly being very respectful to any and all Authority staff. Initial testing can be found in the following addenda.

Interviewer: Dr. Harlan Bucannan

Interviewed: RPC-554-1, “Stikki”

Foreword: This interview was held by Dr. Harlan Bucannan⁵, OL-Site-██ Lead Researcher, after RPC-554 was taken into a holding cell while awaiting transportation to Site-███. Within the holding cell alongside Dr. Bucannan are two members of the OL-Site-██ security force that apprehended RPC-554-1. Dr. Bucannan is sitting at a desk, separated from RPC-554-1 by about seven feet, while RPC-554-1 is standing on a stool that was provided to it. When the stool had been provided, RPC-554-1 used the hand that is not infected by RPC-554-2 to drag the stool back several feet, before jumping on top of it and standing with RPC-554-2 extended to its side.

<Begin Log>

Harlan: Hello there. I’ve been told you understand our language. My name is Doctor Bucannan.

RPC-554-1: 

Harlan: Oh! I was told communication with you was… Interesting, but I didn’t expect it to this degree. [Dr. Bucannan clears his throat] Note that the subject transmits language information via ocular transmission. A full transcription will be attached to this audio recording. The previous response was, quote: “I can, exclamation point, nice to meet ya, comma, Doc, period.” Unquote. That's Y-A as in “see ya later” and D-O-C as in “what’s up doc”.

RPC-554-1: <That’s nifty!>

Harlan: Nifty indeed. So! Tell me about yourself. What are you?

RPC-554-1: <My name’s Stikki! And I’m… Well, I’m Stikki!>

Harlan: Stikki? A unique name, at least by our standards. Where are you from?

RPC-554-1: <My home was called…>

Harlan: [Dr. Bucannan waits for a moment before pressing] Yes?

RPC-554-1: <I… Don’t know if it actually had a name. I remember the names of the places around it though. Oopy Goopy Swamp, Craggy Cracks, Liquorice Lavacaves. Oh! But I remember starting in Melody Meadows! Lots of singing sheep that explode if you go near them.>

Harlan: [Dr. Bucannan chuckles] Sounds like the video games I grew up on.

RPC-554-1: <What’s that?>

Harlan: Ah- Apologies, I was just remarking on something those names reminded me of. Can you go into more detail?

RPC-554-1: <Well… There’s not really much detail to go into! Not nearly as much as there is here!>

Harlan: Explain for me, please.

RPC-554-1: <Well, back home everything was solid. Flat! Things made noise, and colors were bright, but not nearly as much as here. And the smells! Everything has a smell here. Good, bad, strange, everything! We don’t have those back home.>

Harlan: Smells?

RPC-554-1: [Nodding] 

Harlan: Please, continue.

RPC-554-1: <Things feel different too. I can feel the wind and it’s not even blowing me away! And the grass, they’re not individual little soft spikes back home, just flat green areas. And, and, and the dirt! It’s a bunch of crumblies pushed together! Back home everything is so flat and solid, but here it’s just so… New! It’s a little overwhelming.>

Harlan: Well, when you go your whole life without stimuli I suppose a sudden influx of it would be quite overwhelming. Have you found any favorites?

RPC-554-1: <Flowers. I knew they were pretty, the ones back home are bright yellow and pink and blue, but the ones here smell so good! They’re not as big as mine, but boy do I like them a lot more! You smell like them, too, actually.>

Harlan: Well, I do care for some in my quarters. Do you like it?

RPC-554-1: <Mhm! They smell different than the ones I found on my way here.>

Harlan: Thank you, they’re lilacs. [Dr. Bucannan pauses for a moment, flipping over some papers] Now, I need to ask some questions about your… Circumstances.

RPC-554-1: <Shoot! I’m an open book, doc!>

Harlan: You’ve mentioned your affliction to security when they apprehended you. I’ve been told you were very cooperative, which I thank you for. But can you tell me what this does?

RPC-554-1: [RPC-554-1 is silent for some time] <It’s… Very dangerous. It makes things and people become violent, and if those things or people touch someone or something else it spreads.>

Harlan: And that’s why you’ve been standing on the stool this entire time, rather than sitting on it.

RPC-554-1: [Nods a single time] <Yes. I don’t want what happened to my world to happen here.>

Harlan: Let’s get a bit more into that, shall we? You keep saying you’re not from this world. I can clearly see that you’re not a… Usual denizen of our planet. Are you extra-terrestrial?

RPC-554-1: <Extra-whonow?>

Harlan: An alien.

RPC-554-1: <Ohh! I don’t think so! I didn’t come here on a ship. I just ran through a void until the corruption pushed me out.>

Harlan: Pushed you out?

RPC-554-1: [Nodding] <Yeah. I was running away from it with Stacky, my boyfriend, and it cornered us against a wall. Right in the corner. And right as it got to us, Stacky got in front of me. He got pushed into me, and I got pushed into the wall and we both fell through it. And we just… Ran. He got infected but he kept running with me. Eventually we couldn’t run any more, we hit a wall. And the corruption was still spreading.>

Harlan: That sounds awful, and I’m sorry that happened. Can you please tell me what happened as it… “Pushed you out”?

RPC-554-1: <It reached us right before Stacky was gone fully. He said it hurt, and that he wanted me to escape. I think he knew that there was… More. A place that was different to our home. He held my hand, I don’t think he could let go at first, and it spread through him and into me. And at that moment I just… Fell?>

Harlan: You’re not sure?

RPC-554-1: <It felt like falling. But I don’t think it was. It was like I was nowhere. I couldn’t even see myself, actually. All I could see was the corruption. That glitchy purple. And it hurt.>

Harlan: I understand this may be difficult, but this is very important information to know. Please continue.

RPC-554-1: <Right. Sorry. For a while, I thought I was gonna die like that. Just floating or falling or whatever it was. That I was gonna end up like the others. But then I saw something. A dark room made of tables and chairs and I reached out to it. And then I opened my eyes and I was here. Well, not here-here. But in this world.>

Harlan: Fascinating. What happened after that?

RPC-554-1: [It lifts the corrupted limb, prompting the attending MST to shift audibly.] <But it wasn’t doing anything to me. It wasn’t spreading, and I still had control over myself. Nothing like what happened to the others.>

Harlan: Certainly strange. Can you tell me about the area you seemingly manifested in?

RPC-554-1: <It was smelly. Everything was. It smelled like I was closed in on all sides. When I finally looked around, it looked like nothing I’d ever seen! All these tables with boxes and party decorations. It was all much different to anything I’ve ever seen. Like… Like…>

Harlan: Like seeing something completely new for the first time, and not knowing how it could possibly exist.

RPC-554-1: <Yeah! Exactly that.>

Harlan: Then what happened, Stikki?

RPC-554-1: <Then I stood up. It felt weird, so much heavier than home. Like the air itself was pushing down on me. I could feel the air moving as I did.>

Harlan: Another sensory stimulus that you’re not used to, I’m guessing.

RPC-554-1: [Nods] <Yep. Whenever I’ve felt wind it always blows me away, but here it’s just… There. But once I did that, I accidentally bumped a thing that looked like a chair on wheels- kinda like the one you’re sitting in Doc. It became the same as the corruption from back home and attacked me!>

Harlan: It attacked you? Did you get hurt?

RPC-554-1: <No, it was just the one then. I shot it with a FIRE1⁶ and it died pretty easily.>

Harlan: Did any more of this happen?

RPC-554-1: <Yes, I didn’t know touching things with it was causing it at first until I saw it happen in front of me. I didn’t leave any of them alive though, so it couldn’t spread any more.>

Harlan: Much appreciated. So I assume after this all, you left the place you woke up. What was around you?

RPC-554-1: <I can’t remember. But I know the place was empty. It had some lights on, but then it started making a really loud noise so I jumped out of a window! I’m just glad GUST2 worked to stop me from taking fall-damage.>

Harlan: I’ll see if my people can find any reports of a break-in nearby. See if we can’t find anything. Please, continue.

RPC-554-1: <Once I got away from there, I sort of just… Walked.>

Harlan: Were you seen by anyone?

RPC-554-1: <Just some animals. I didn’t touch anything either.>

Harlan: And what were you looking for?

RPC-554-1: <Well, back home there was a secret area that you could find if you punched the right bush. It led to a secret lab run by Prof.Exe!⁷>

Harlan: That seems like an interesting place. What made you think to look for somewhere like that?

RPC-554-1: <Well, Prof.Exe was the one that learned the most about the corruption, before it got worse. So I thought maybe there would be other people who could do the same, if I could find them.>

Harlan: Which eventually led you to us. And destroying the fence.

RPC-554-1: <Yes… Sorry about that!>

Harlan: [Dr. Bucannan smiles] Oh no, don’t worry. I’ve been trying to tell the branch director that a chain-link fence isn’t secure enough for months. Maybe now they’ll listen. [He chuckles]

RPC-554-1: <Oh! You’re welcome then!>

Harlan: So. You’ve found us.

RPC-554-1: <Mhm!>

Harlan: Well you weren’t looking for us to turn yourself in, surely. You’ve been far too complacent.

RPC-554-1: <Right!>

Harlan: So what is it you’re looking for from us?

RPC-554-1: 

Harlan: [After a moment of silence] And that’s it?

RPC-554-1: <That’s it.>

Harlan: [Pauses again] I’ll note that down, Stikki. Thank you for being so forthright. I can’t guarantee anything, we’ve never seen anything like you before to my knowledge. But I’m sure if you follow instructions and do what you’re told, things may just pan out.

RPC-554-1: 

Harlan: All things considered, I do hope it happens. You’ve been quite refreshing to speak with, considering my usual interrogation clientele.

RPC-554-1: <Aww, thanks Doc! It’s been nice talking to you too.>

Harlan: Now, if you could wait here patiently for me. We have transportation en route to retrieve you. Continue cooperating and I’m sure everything will go smoothly. I trust there won’t be any issues?

RPC-554-1: <Nope! I won’t touch anything either.>

Harlan: Thank you. I assure you, the place you’re going will be much better equipped to handle what you can do.

RPC-554-1: <Gotcha. I’ll wait here then.>

Harlan: Best of luck, Stikki.

<End Log.>

Post Interview: Following the interview, a transport was provided for RPC-554, delivering it to Site-███ and registered into the Authority Database. RPC-554-1 was reportedly amicable and obedient.

Addendum 554-2: Initial Testing + Post Interview

+ Test & Interview Logs

× Return

The following table is made up of experiments done within the first five days of containment at Site-███.

Experiment	Notes
Infecting Authority-Branded coffee mug with RPC-554-2.	The resulting 554-2a instance became animated, attempting to jump at RPC-554-1’s face in an attack, who then hit it aside with RPC-554-2. 554-1 then jumped on top of the 554-2a instance, flattening and neutralizing it. RPC-554-1 was asked afterward not to dispatch the instance of RPC-554-2a during testing unless instructed to.
Infecting various office items with RPC-554-2. RPC-554-1 was visually cut off from the infected objects afterwards.	RPC-554-2a objects entered into a passive state upon losing sight of RPC-554-1.
CSD personnel exposed to RPC-554-2a.	RPC-554-2a became aggressive, attacking the CSD Personnel and infecting them. First instance of RPC-554-2b.
Testing methods of elimination of RPC-554-2a and 554-2b instances.	RPC-554-2a and 554-2b instances did not seem to be resilient to any conventional means, neutralizing after a significant amount of force from most sources. Confirmed conventional firearms effectiveness on aforementioned instances. Note 554-2b required significantly more force than 554-2a instances.
Directly infecting CSD personnel, before hiding RPC-554-1 from view and containing the 554-2b instance separately.	RPC-554-1 seemed hesitant, but obliged after being informed of the CSD personnel’s purpose. As with before, the 554-2b instance ceased agitation after being separated from RPC-554-1. After 3 hours, the 554-2b instance proceeded to collapse in on itself before dissipating with no residue found afterward.

Interviewed: RPC-554-1

Interviewer: Lead Researcher Salene Peterson

Foreword: After separation from the RPC-554-2b instance, Lead Researcher Salene Peterson performed an interview through the observation window. RPC-554-1 was provided with a stool to sit upon for the interview. RPC-554-1 dialogue was transcripted by Miss Peterson.

<Begin Log>

Salene: So! That was enlightening. How are you feeling, RPC-554-1?

RPC-554-1: <That… Last one didn’t feel very good. Even if he deserved it.>

Salene: Such is the nature of things. We’ll try to keep tests like that to a minimum, but it does provide us with good insight on how to handle your affliction.

RPC-554-1: [Nods] <Yeah, plus you said he hurt kids. I don’t feel bad about that.>

Salene: Mm. Exactly. Now, can you tell me how utilizing RPC-554-2 feels?

RPC-554-1: [After a short pause] <It feels… Less itchy? Like it was being satisfied.>

Salene: That’s… Mildly concerning. But it doesn’t hurt? Or spread?

RPC-554-1: [Shakes its head] <Nope. Feels like usually does, just less itchy.>

Salene: [Noting this down] Alright. Well, how about we chat a little more? I’d like to get a bit more knowledge on where you come from, and the characters from there.

RPC-554-1: <Okay! Whaddya wanna know?>

Salene: I’d like to know about this Stacky you’ve mentioned. What was he like? What did he do?

RPC-554-1: [Exhibits a sunken demeanor] <Well, alright. Stacky is… Was a good person. He cared about everyone around him, even the people who didn’t treat others right. He tried using his words before anything, but knew when to draw his sword too.>

Salene: I know this is a difficult topic for you, Sti- RPC-554-1. But if you could continue?

RPC-554-1: [Another nod] <Well… Whenever something went wrong, Stacky always got involved. No matter what. I helped, but he was always the main one.>

Salene: Understandable. Now this may be a bit of a sensitive topic, but we need to ask about this in order to get a clearer understanding. Could you tell me about how RPC-554-2 acted in your world while corrupting it?

RPC-554-1: [It remains silent for a moment, laying its corrupted hand in its lap and rubbing the palm with its uncorrupted hand. Noted no adverse effects.] <Well at first it was… Nothing unusual. Just some different bad guys to stomp on or blast. Just weirdly shaped.>

Salene: [Nods, beckoning for RPC-554-1 to continue.]

RPC-554-1: <The first things to change were the clouds. They became all black and glitchy, like that coffee mug, lined in purple. Their happy faces were gone, and they just became sharp and spiky. When they rained, it transformed other things too. Flowers, rocks, fences. Stuff that wasn’t supposed to be a baddy.>

Salene: The special properties of the object carried over, allowing it to be used as a way to spread further?

RPC-554-1: [Nods.]

Salene: Fascinating. We should avoid using powered appliances when connected to facility power, but perhaps we can test it with something hooked into a small generator.

RPC-554-1: <Right now?>

Salene: No, for now we’ll return you to your containment chamber for some rest. We’ll be doing some testing of our own on the CSD that was changed. Good work today RPC-554-1. If you could step aside so security can grab the stool, we will begin your transfer process.

RPC-554-1: [It hops down from the stool, standing at the far wall.]

<End Log>

Closing Statement: After this interaction, RPC-554 was brought to its containment chamber without incident. While its facial expression remained neutral, it wasn’t as talkative as it often is during its usual transfer process.

Addendum 554-3: MRI Testing

+ MRI Test Results/Video Log

× Return

Media ID#: M-554-8

Date & Time: 3/23/2025 10:30 AM

Foreword: Suggested by Junior Researcher Pulps, RPC-554-1 was subjected to an MRI scan. The following is a transcription of the video taken from within the observation room.

<Begin Video>

10:30 AM- RPC-554-1 can be seen sitting on the MRI's table. RPC-554-2 can be seen reacting to the MRI's magnet, jutting out in spikes away from the magnet.

10:31 AM- RPC-554-1 vocalizes, nodding its head, before pointing to RPC-554-2.

Peterson: Not to worry, RPC-554-1. We have security on standby ready to assist you should something go wrong.

10:32 AM- More vocalizations from RPC-554-1.

Peterson: I understand. We'll be a safe distance away. You just focus on relaxing and lie on your side. Try to keep RPC-554-2 as still as possible, alright? The test will be done quickly.

**RPC-554-1: <Nodding, before lying on its side, RPC-554-2 held above it before being laid on its side as well.>

10:40 AM- After Researcher Peterson vacated the room, site ASF took position outside the room. RPC-554-1 is remaining perfectly still, while RPC-554-2 is still reacting to the magnet within the MRI.

Peterson: Beginning first pass. Stay as still as you can, Sti- RPC-554-1.

10:41 AM- The MRI table begins to move closer to the bore, causing RPC-554-2 to react more. Despite its reaction, the jutting spikes coming from RPC-554-2 did not reach any surface of the MRI's casing.

10:42 AM- RPC-554-1 can be heard only slightly through the MRI's noise.

Peterson: Almost finished. Pulling you out now.

10:45 AM- The table is slowly removed from the machine, and RPC-554-1 sits up and scoots away from the bore holding the portion of its head unaffected by RPC-554-2.

Peterson: Is everything alright?

RPC-554-1: <Vocalizes, shaking its head to the negative>

Peterson: I understand. Feel free to get up and stretch your legs. Once you're ready, we'll continue.

10:46 AM- RPC-554-1 nods, hopping off of the table and moving to the far end of the room away from the MRI. From this distance, RPC-554-2 seemingly calmed down. It still reacted to the powerful magnetic field, though at a decreased rate.

10:54 AM- RPC-554-1 turns to the observation deck, giving a thumbs up with RPC-554-2 before moving back to the MRI's table. As it grew closer, RPC-554-1 seemed to have difficulty positioning RPC-554-2.

Peterson: Thank you. RPC-554-1, we are beginning pass number two. Please prepare yourself.

10:58 AM- The table begins pulling RPC-554-1 into the bore once again, causing RPC-554-2 to react violently once more. RPC-554-1 can be seen twitching slightly.

Peterson: Don't worry RPC-554-1, we're almost-

10:59 AM- RPC-554-2's spikes suddenly grow in length, puncturing into the bore above it. The machine swiftly becomes infected with RPC-554-2, attempting to crush RPC-554-2 with its chassis used as teeth. RPC-554-1 is out of sight within the bore.

11:00 AM- Researcher Peterson presses the alarm, shutting off all electricity to the room and allowing the ASF forces inside. Units open fire upon the now RPC-554-2 infected table, which falls quickly and dissipates. The RPC-554-2a instance of the MRI machine can be seen jutting and jolting from impacts within itself.

Peterson: RPC-554-2 has been transferred into the observation room via wireless connection. I have everyone else evacuated, but the computer does not seem to be turning into an instance of 554-2a.

11:01 AM- RPC-554-1 can be seen climbing out of the RPC-554-2a instance, leaping out and landing on the shoulder of an ASF unit. RPC-554-1 can be heard vocalizing, to which the ASF unit responds with neutral reassurance and opens fire upon the RPC-554-2a instance. RPC-554-1 accompanies the group, firing bolts of energy from its uninfected hand.

11:02 AM- The RPC-554-2a instance is neutralized and slowly dissipates. RPC-554-1 jumps off of the ASF unit's shoulder and offers the ASF unit its right fist. Several units reciprocate the motion, bumping their fists with RPC-554-1.

<End Video>

Afterword: While the test was left incomplete, the results themselves were fruitful. After RPC-554-2 had infected the MRI machinery, the data had transferred into the computer wirelessly connected to the MRI. Instead of becoming an instance of RPC-554-2a, it instead corrupted the data within the device. As the device in question was not connected to the greater Authority wireless network to begin with, it is assumed a greater containment breach was avoided.

To whom this may concern.
Over the past year and a half of studying RPC-554, I have come to know the entity quite well. It has been nothing but cooperative. Even in going against its own morals, RPC-554-1 has done its utmost to perform up to the Authority's standards in testing. It's demonstrated time and time again that it wants nothing more than to help us understand RPC-554-2.

Additionally, it has put itself at risk numerous times during containment breaches. I'll be attaching incident logs and video transcriptions as evidence of this. While the emergency protocol "Level: Start!" as named by site ASF is currently in place, it is my belief that RPC-554-1 would be much more beneficial to the Authority if placed into official services. The Authority has made use of anomalies before, including but not limited to RPC-016-5A, RPC-022, RPC-551-2, and RPC-695. I understand your concern at its over-eagerness to help, however I believe it is not in an attempt to gain our trust.

I believe RPC-554-1, a.k.a. "Stikki", is simply programmed to be helpful. It is at the very least emulating a protagonist in a video game. It has no connections to existing groups, persons, or entities of interest. Its motives, motives that have been thoroughly documented, have only ever been stated to be rid of the corruption. It is my suggestion that we begin doing our utmost to live up to the promises we made to facilitate RPC-554's containment. We should begin researching ways to separate RPC-554-1 and RPC-554-2, to utilize RPC-554-1 to its full extent as we do other RPC's. This may also potentially allow RPC-554-2 to be weaponized as a way to clean anomalous residue or prevent the spreading of anomalous material.

Your consideration,
Salene Peterson, RPC-554 Lead Researcher

Item	Description	Notes
“Super Stacky Situation 64” test cartridge	A standard Nintendo 64 cartridge used to test different versions of a game in-development.	The item was completely void of information or usable data. When inserted into a working Nintendo 64, or other device capable of reading information, the device was rendered inoperable, exhibiting similar effects to RPC-554-2 corruption. Avoid insertion into devices that can connect to the internet or Authority Systems..
A standard Nintendo 64 console	A Nintendo 64 console of the “Ice” model coloration.	Found with the above cartridge inserted. Was powered on when discovered, but completely inoperable. No RPC-554-2 corruption found beyond its inoperable nature.
Several folders of concept art	Within these folders included concept art for several characters, including “Stacky”, RPC-554-1, and other characters known to exist within the game Super Stacky Situation 64.	RPC-554-1 requested a framed photo of concept art containing both “Stacky” and RPC-554-1. Granted, displayed in observation window in a position that makes it visible to RPC-554-1.
Maxwell brand 3.5" Floppy Disk	A standard 3.5" Floppy Disk of the Maxwell MF 2HD line of disks. It was found inserted in a computer connected directly to the above-mentioned Nintendo 64 console, which was also found to be non-functional.	When inserted into a functioning device, it was discovered to be infected with RPC-554-2 causing the device to cease function soon after reading. Designation of the object as RPC-554-3 is pending. Designation of the object as the origin of RPC-554-2 is pending. Designation of the object as a separate and independent RPC is pending.
