A-003 "The Blight hive"

Summary:

The Blight Hive (A-003) is a collective designation for a series of related anomalies with higher level threat/containment risks. These entities share common characteristics and a hive-like structure, with various forms exhibiting distinct physical and anomalous properties. The primary threat posed by these anomalies is their ability to infect, transform, and operate with a hive mind, making containment and neutralization efforts particularly challenging to the point of uncontainable designation.

Containment Procedures:

Primary Containment: Most A-003 instances are held in an extra-large heavy containment cell constructed of 4 meters of concrete, supplemented by an observation room with a double window made of reinforced glass.

Specialized Containment: Certain instances are kept in stasis chambers for detailed study.

A-003-A "Hive Drone"

Description: First of the 003 hive observed by the ACA (Previously designated A-003-1) and maybe the 2nd most important part of a hives survival 2nd only to A-003-B and is the divergent stage that can form into other specialized units (e.g.: 003-A1, 003-C, and in some cases possible 003-A2) it is a unintelligent and lacks basic survival instincts rather requiring smarter units to coordinate it otherwise it attacks anything not part of the hive

A-003-A1 "Hulks"

Description: Probably the strongest among the standard hive variants this creature was one of the first found by the A.C.A its stature and characteristics like that of a unstoppable lumbering tank

A-003-B "The infector"

Description: A blob of organic hive matter sliding and crawling around looking for a host victim to infect and turn to a A-003-B1 instance

A-003-B1 "The infected"

Description: If you come in contact with 003-B you have a good chance of getting infected. The infection will start with increased metabolism, hallucinations, dizziness, and hyperventilating Then you will notice a thick liquid forming from pores in your skin And lastly you will lose control of all physical and mental processes and the infection will take over your body and mind

A-003-C "sentinel’s"

Description: These instances are like that of warriors in the A-003 hive structure, they have a touch of decay they are a formidable opponents

A-004 "Nokinir"

Description: This weapon originally found in a ditch in southern north Dakota the item seems to have great power when one deemed "Worthy" uses it

Physical Characteristics: It appears to be an extremely wide Nokia 3310 on a hammer handle the handle having markings resembling ancient Norse runes

Anomalous Properties: Only a few can pick it up and deal significant damage, others can only bonk people and make calls. as well it is indestructible (to our knowledge)

A-006 "Amphibious luminary"

Physical Characteristics: a bioluminescent humanoid figure. approximately 1.8 meters in height. Its body is composed of translucent, gelatinous materials

Anomalous Properties: it emits a soft glow The light emitted can trigger different emotional responses in people, ranging from happy to sad to introspective

containment procedures: held in site 001 in-between sectors 1 and 2 inside a large open air containment chamber with a small sand island and deep water

A-007 "Moon Horse "

Description:

A-007 is often a glowing white or light blue humanoid Horse-like creature with the DNA of all known horse species in the world including Pegasus and unicorn and can vary in look and also can take on the appearance of any horse species. is neutral towards humans unless the human is carrying a firearm of any caliber even if it is a non-lethal or replica gun. there are three warning stages at 75, 50, and 25 feet

Physical Characteristics:

007 Is often glowing white or light blue, usually appearing as a humanoid Horse-like creature. A-007 contains the DNA of all known horse species in the world including Pegasus and unicorn and can change its look and also can take on the appearance of any horse species and able to take a humanoid appearance

Anomalous Properties:

At 75ft any human with a firearm will be confronted with a warning snort and A-007s whole demeanor will change from relaxed and calm to irritated and agitated. at 50ft it will get very agitated and will be glaring at the human, and will hold its ground, A-007 will as well begin to neigh in an angered way, the anomaly may lower its head to point the horn on its head at the human and 007’s body color will start to change from semi-light red color. At 25ft 007 will turn completely red and its eyes will look like fire burning in them, 007 will neigh in such high pitch tone that human ears will start to bleed and they will lose all hearing for up to a month, if any attempt is made to get closer with firearms and capture 007 it will go berserk and still be red in coloration and it can stab humans with its horn, kick them, stomp them until they are dead or threat as A-007 see it has been neutralized

Containment Procedures:

It is held with in sector 1 in a standard containment cell with added firearm exclusion zone at 50 ft all guards in the exclusion zone are armed with riot batons to give them the ability to have some form of defense in the 50ft exclusion zone

A-009 "The Chest of greed"

Physical Characteristics:

It appears to be a completely normal chest with a single valuable item in it that has been designated A-009-1

Anomalous Properties:

It is able to move around it containment cell without any visible form of self locomotion as well as when A-009-1 is removed from the inside of A-009 it shocks the one who removed it with static electricity

Containment Procedures:

Its currently held in a extra large open roof enclosure, It must be kept in a roofless containment cell or it WILL breach containment and potentially clone itself

A-010 "The Quantum cave"

Physical Characteristics:

It's a extremely large cave spanning most of subterranean earth with winding tunnels and anomalous lakes defying gravity and logic

Anomalous Properties:

The cave system has lakes that break physics and waterfalls that can touch lava and neither lava or water seem to change temperature despite being in contact as well as stalagmites that are hyper hydrophobic to the point of creating air pockets around them

A-011 "Temporal Totem"

Description: A-011, codenamed "Temporal totem," is a unique class of safe anomaly within the containment and study of the A.C.A. This anomaly exhibits properties related to time manipulation, though it does not pose any immediate threat to containment personnel or the general public.

Physical Characteristics: A-011 manifests as a Semi translucent blue, crystalline artifact measuring approximately 10 centimeters in height and 5 centimeters in width. It emits a faint, calming light and is remarkably lightweight, with a mass of approximately 100 grams. The surface of A-011 is adorned with intricate, intricate fractal patterns, which seem to shift subtly as observers approach the anomaly.

Anomalous Properties: A-011 is known to affect time perception in its immediate vicinity, though the extent of this influence is benign and has no lasting consequences. When placed in a room, A-011 has been observed to create an illusion of time moving slower, which can have a soothing and therapeutic effect on those present. This property makes it an ideal candidate for relaxation and stress relief environments.

A-013 " The Girl "

Physical Characteristics: A-013 Aka “The Girl,” is a humanoid creature standing approximately 5’3” in height. A-013 is able to blend into almost any crowd.

Description:

A-013 has three stages of aggression:

Stage 1: A-013 will find a target, it has no one preferred target other than the fact it has to be able to show fear. Once it has located a target, it will begin to act abnormally. (Talk in an abnormal manner, or will disappear for very short periods of time from the viewer's senses before re-appearing shortly after) There is little information known about the first stage, as no one has lived to tell researchers more.

Stage 2: A-013 will begin to sing, or chant various twisted and altered melodies, everything from corrupted Gospel to twisted hard rock to uncanny classical. A-013’s target, which will now be referred to as just “Target” will feel a weird tingling sensation, Deja vu, hallucinations, and intense anxiety and fear.

Stage 3: A-013 will suddenly disappear from society, and this is when researchers lose track of A-013 for a short period of time. This is when A-013 eliminates its target. After "target" is eliminated it will often return to its cell or be docile enough to re-contain

Anomalous Properties: A-013 has been documented to run at speeds of 30 MPH with no known top speed registered

There is no material or method known to stop A-013 from reaching its target.

A-014 "the Specter"

Description:

A-015 is a sentient, non-corporeal entity observed to manifest as a canine-faced humanoid figure. Its primary predatory mechanism involves a sequence of corporeal displacement, wherein its form progressively dematerializes. During this dematerialization process, ambient light sources in the immediate vicinity are extinguished, and the entity progressively reduces its distance to the target. Upon achieving immediate proximity to a subject, A-015's equivalent to a mouth undergoes extreme distension. The subject is then rendered immobile through unknown means, followed by their complete consumption by the entity. This dematerialization is intrinsically linked with a form of spatial translocation, allowing for rapid repositioning.

Physical Characteristics: The entity possesses a facial structure resembling that of a canid, it's mouth is capable of an exceptional degree of expansion, allowing for the ingestion of organisms of considerable size, And the entity's body possesses the capacity to extend, reaching a maximum observed height of approximately 2.13 meters (7 feet).

Anomalous Properties: Corporeal Phasing and Teleportation: A-014 can transition between corporeal and non-corporeal states, a process inherently linked to instantaneous spatial translocation, enabling movement across significant distances without traversing intervening space.

Induced Immobilization: Upon direct interaction or imminent consumption, subjects within A-014's proximity experience a state of complete physical immobilization. The mechanism for this effect is currently unknown.

Environmental Light Manipulation: A-014 possesses the ability to extinguish localized light sources concurrent with its dematerialization sequence.

Exceptional Predatory Consumption: The entity is capable of consuming entire human subjects through its highly distensible oral cavity.

Enhanced Intelligence: A-014 exhibits a high degree of cognitive function, as evidenced by observed patterns of discreet surveillance and strategic targeting of human dwellings prior to manifestation.

A-018 "The Inkling"

Physical Characteristics:

is a 5 '9'’ female humanoid anomaly with palish skin, almost looking like ash, and has no birthmarks or other notable things alike.

Description: A-018 or “The Inkling" is a MCR/MT classified anomaly who was captured by the Foundation, which was later abandoned by the Foundation in the wilderness of northern Washington for unknown reasons. The ACA has located and detained the anomaly designating it A-018. A-018 knows English, but it is very broken and not always clear. A-018 is occasionally hostile to unfamiliar humans, but it will be friendlier to those who have shown little to no aggression towards the subject. A-018 often tries to communicate the pain of the tests and projects the Foundation has inflicted on it, and stressful/harmful tests are never to be conducted.

Anomalous Properties:

has the ability to conjure an inky black substance with reported texture “much like a squid” that can dissolve most metals and most igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, along with dirt and the like. If the ink comes into contact with organic matter like skin it will start an immediate reaction, burning and turning it into a thick, doughy slough that comes off in long ropes, as with tissue, muscle, and bone.

Containment Procedures: MUST have bandages wrapped around their limbs 24/7 reaching at least 9.5 inches from finger and toe nails Bandages MUST be changed regularly with a test subject wearing a titanium/copper/magnesium alloy gauntlet, as this is the only known compound known to resist the ink. A-018 is contained in a cell made of the same, titanium/copper/magnesium alloy, it is under supervision to prevent possible escape and harm to personnel.

A/V-001 "Euphoria Syndrome"

Description:

A/V-001(previously A-014), also known as Euphoria Syndrome, is an anomalous microbial disease that provides initial beneficial symptoms to the infected host, such as improved cognitive function, increased capacity for physical strength, and elevated mood. However, these initial symptoms are followed by severe long-term afflictions, including neurological degeneration, physical muscle atrophy, and psychological collapse. The disease is potentially contagious and poses a significant public health risk, subsequently, members of the CDC have been notified of all research developments.

Physical Characteristics:

A/V-001 isn't observable on the human visible electromagnetic light spectrum, and, is only detectable using powerful magnification and IR detection.

However difficult to detect, victims of A/V-001 quickly show symptoms of the disease and they include: muscle atrophy, organ failure, and severe psychological distress.

Anomalous Properties: Strangely, the micro-organism or virus is seemingly undetectable in the visible light spectrum. As it seems, even with increased magnification, it requires alternative identification methods, such as Infrared spectroscopy, even then results are limited.

Post Infection: Initial benefits: Enhanced Cognitive Function: Infected individuals experience increased mental clarity, memory retention, and problem-solving abilities.

Increased Physical Exertion Capacity: Heightened physical capabilities, including strength, endurance, and reflexes.

Elevated Mood and Euphoria: Constant state of euphoria and reduced stress. Eventual side effects:

Neurological Degeneration: Rapid brain deterioration after the initial cognitive enhancement period.

Muscle Atrophy: Breakdown of muscle tissue and organ failure following the initial physical boost.

Psychological Collapse: Severe depression, hallucinations, and uncontrollable fits of rage or despair after the euphoria phase.

High Contagion: Easily spread through close physical contact or airborne particles.

Containment Procedures:

The microbe and infected individuals are held in subterranean research bunker 04. Infected individuals must be quarantined immediately upon diagnosis.

Containment cells are designed with high-level biohazard protocols, including air filtration systems and isolation measures to prevent airborne transmission.

Personnel handling A/V-001 cases must wear full protective gear and undergo decontamination procedures.

Infected individuals are monitored continuously for signs of progression to prevent outbreaks within Installation 04.

Research and Study:

A/V-001 is under active research, focusing on developing a cure or effective treatment to halt its progression.

Studies aim to understand the pathogen's mechanisms to eliminate the harmful effects while potentially harnessing the initial benefits.

Research is restricted to high-level clearance researchers due to the high contagion risk and severe consequences of the disease.

Ongoing efforts are dedicated to improving containment protocols and mitigating public health risks associated with A/V-001.

P-001A "Exotic material"

information:

Exotic particles are a transdimensional subatomic particle discovered by researchers at CERN (Switzerland) who were searching for a so called "God particle".

"these Exotic Materials is an invisible yet extremely powerful particle that is concentrated at specific locations on Earth. it appears to have the ability to influence and potentially alter human consciousness. It can be collected through invisible rifts, which are located at landmarks, monuments, and significant places that seem to attract this energy. and the Exotic material is not just an energy form but a source of tremendous power that can be utilized in various ways. The two groups have formed around it those who have been Enlightened and those who Resist it these groups compete to control and harness this energy, whether to advance human evolution or to protect humanity from perceived threats of the Exotic Material." -"Junior" (ID unknown)

we at the A.C.A believe similar to the Enlightened that the multidimensional material can be harnessed for the better of humanity several of our researchers and Agents have taken up the mantel of research and field work.

P-002 "Ball Lighting"

information: well documented occurrence of strange spheres of electricity reported since 1700s it is often accompanied with the smell of sulfur

(documented by non ACA sources) "Descriptions of ball lightning vary widely. It has been described as moving up and down, sideways or in unpredictable trajectories, hovering and moving with or against the wind; attracted to,[10] unaffected by, or repelled from buildings, people, cars and other objects. Some accounts describe it as moving through solid masses of wood or metal without effect, while others describe it as destructive and melting or burning those substances. Its appearance has also been linked to power lines,[11][12] altitudes of 300 m (1,000 feet) and higher, and during thunderstorms[11] and calm weather. Ball lightning has been described as transparent, translucent, multicolored, evenly lit, radiating flames, filaments or sparks, with shapes that vary between spheres, ovals, tear-drops, rods, or disks.[13]

Ball lightning is often erroneously identified as St. Elmo's fire. They are separate and distinct phenomena.[14]

The balls have been reported to disperse in many different ways, such as suddenly vanishing, gradually dissipating, being absorbed into an object, "popping," exploding loudly, or even exploding with force, which is sometimes reported as damaging.[11] Accounts also vary on their alleged danger to humans, from lethal to harmless[.]

Scientists have long attempted to produce ball lightning in laboratory experiments. While some experiments have produced effects that are visually similar to reports of natural ball lightning, it has not yet been determined whether there is any relation.

Nikola Tesla reportedly could artificially produce 1.5-inch (3.8 cm) balls and conducted some demonstrations of his ability.[46] Tesla was more interested in higher voltages and powers as well as remote transmission of power; the balls he made were just a curiosity.[47]" source: -Wikipedia

we at the A.C.A have managed to contain and maintain a instance of ball lightning for testing at site 05 despite it being for tests on more dangerous anomalies this site had encountered it in the woods and managed to contain it while equipped with proper protection

T.H.F.R.A

Who are they: the T.H.F.R.A, or Transmutation Hybrid Form Research Association The association is a rough translation of the Russian name for it (Ассоциация исследований гибридных форм трансмутации) as that is where they started, as a break away group after the collapse of the Soviet union. This group had formed before the anomaly containment agency conducting illegal experimentation and running from country to country to avoid detection seeking to finish their research on the "vysshaya rasa" that they had beggun in the Soviet union before the collapse of all their government funded research facilities

In the mid 2010s they had become a major and credible threat after creating a large presence in California USA, their facility however was raided and dismantled by a collective strike team comprised of Units Alpha Bravo and Delta

To this day they haven't recovered however multiple splinter cells have attempted to reform and their research is still out there along with the one only known as "█████ ████" no official name or identity yet known however their second hand documented "██████ ███" was captured interrogated and given a death sentence for the crimes committed

Agency relations: Hostile adversarial. Their existence is a threat to all humanity, once their research is complete utilizing A-███ or A-███ as their genetic key they will either amalgamate or terminate all of man kind to try to make a "vysshaya rasa" a master race.

Overseer Defense System:

programmed by the anomaly containment agency to deal with database security, and hunting down possibly dangerous Artificial intelligence. Overseer was designed to conduct surveillance, and hunt rouge artificial intelligence that posed a threat to humanity, oftentimes locating "sentient" A.I and terminating it with a corruption that was preprogrammed to destroy reasoning systems like A.i but leave algorithms like ODS unharmed

protocols guardian - scan all contact to database and review credentials of all access to workstations omnivore - hunt down aggressor and rouge A.I and terminate lockdown - locks all key card readers and cuts all communication - requires codes to override

Installations

the A.C.A operates from a number of containment sites, installations and bases including

Containment site 001 also known as Installation 01 is a location that holds currently 10/13 contained anomalies and is the oldest and most developed location the A.C.A operates out of

containment site 002 also known as Offshore containment installation 02 is a repurposed oil rig that works to contain A-012 as well as generate passive income for the A.C.A and is home to CSLST

Installation 03 this outpost of sorts located at Redcliff City CO. and is used to monitor potential THFRA reformation attempts and designated sentient anomalies as well as temporarily contain any new anomalies designated for containment before moving them to a proper containment installation such as Site 001

research bunker 04 is a primarily subterranean laboratory researching viruses and bacteria (like that of anomaly 014) the location was originally known as project Wildfire before a series of unfortunate circumstances involving extra terrestrial super bacteria caused the project and location to be abandoned and leaving the A.C.A to repurpose Wildfire for their own projects

Installation 05 a isolated outpost in Southeastern Virginia in a forest that boarders North Carolina built to monitor local instances of A-███ and A-███ and conduct research into more dangerous anomalies/phenomena with minimal collateral risk due to its distance to populated areas

Installation 06 a small foreign outpost located in central Europe tasked with observing paranormal activity outside the states and getting a foothold in the expansion of the A.C.A to a global power

R.E.B the "rapid excursion base" is a rapidly mobilized field research outpost and is the same outpost allowing the deployment in Atacama Chile to investigate the distortion event later identified as a rift gate(under investigation)

Installation 07 a warehouse built to hold anomalous objects that are unable to risk escaping containment such as A-004 and A-016

Containment And Combat Specialists

C.S.U.A (Containment specialist unit alpha) Unit Alpha is our jack of all trades unit lead by Alpha-01 Riker O. Brandt they often do contain anomalies however their usual objective is combat of hostile forces and enemy facilities or elimination of anomalies that can not be contained and pose a threat to humanity or local populations.

C.S.U.B (Combat specialist unit bravo) They call themselves the bastion unit and they are on site specialist used for defending sites and supporting other teams with heavy weapons. UB usually being first response to a on site anomaly breach, they also double as our heavy weapons unit that work along with CSUA frequently to take on combat missions against fortified enemies.

C.S.U.C (Combat specialist unit Charlie) is a rapid response force known as the "lightning strike team" stationed at offshore containment installation 02 and specialize in quick infiltration and extraction missions as well as strike ops against enemies and into sites that have sustained mass anomaly breaches to large for UB.

C.S.U.D (Combat specialist unit Delta) they work directly under orders of the administrator taking on the nickname "The Shadows Hand" and are lead by CSUD-01 ███████ █. ██████████ not much is known about this team other than a few missions detailed in these personnel documents written by 01 themself.

C.S.U.E (Containment specialist unit Echo) is our specialized anomaly containment force they often do help combat hostiles however their primary objective is to contain the anomalous or defend a predesignated area for supervision of non dangerous anomalies that can not or should not be contained.

C.S.U.F (Combat specialist unit Foxtrot) is a team known by the name Loki after the Norse deity of mischief and chaos because of it's members that specialize in unorthodox tactics and getting the job done with whatever's on hand this is reflected by their ununiform weapons selection using standard issue mixed with personal selection and requesting other fire arms and no one type of uniform used that varies from USMC surplus uniforms to expensive hand made ghillie suits.

C.S.U.G (Containment Specialist Unit Golf) The Spectre team specially charged with the apprehension and combat of incorporeal anomalies this unit was established at behest of junior field researcher Holden S. after the acknowledged ineffectiveness of conventional means to contain anomalies such as A-014 of which A-014 the team was named with minor spelling changes to distinguish in documents referring to both the unit and anomaly (i.e Spectre(unit) vs The Specter(A-014) vs A specter(a incorporeal being)).
