CTA-229

CTA-229.

Contained Anomaly: CTA-229

Object Class: Amicus.

Containment Procedures: CTA-229 is kept in a 10x10 containment cell with no stationed guards. Any personnel can attempt to open it during their breaks with any resources at their immediate disposal. If opened it is to be reported to Administrative Command and await for further instructions.

Description: CTA-229 is a black briefcase built of an unknown material that is functionally indestructible and resistant to all attempts to damage. It has a code padlock, despite this all codes have been proven incorrect. On the top of the briefcase the words "OOC Initiative" with their appropriate symbol above¹. Scanning the inside has proven unsuccessful but weighing seems to show there is a book inside.

It was found in 1899 by the British Empire in a stone sarcophagus buried deep underground. Once opened and attempts to open it were proven impossible. It was placed in The Vault², it eventually was possessed by the CTA Corporation in 1995 where attempts to open it proved useless.

Addendum 229-A: Due to the briefcase seemingly being created by the OOC Initiative they were contacted. Their leader, The Cataloguer was contacted.

The Cataloguer is an extremely old (At least four thousand) human male. Brown haired with a beard and commonly wearing a suit with a purple tie. The Cataloguer has ran the OOC Initiative since its early roots. Claims of early Greek, Roman and Egyptian roots have been made seperately by The Cataloguer while his name remains unknown. Even his original gender has been bought into question after confirmed meetings with CTA-███ and their gender changing properties.

Interviewer: AD-03.

Interviewee: The Cataloguer

AD-03: We thank you for your visit.

The Cataloguer: I thank you for your hospitality. Although I'd have loved to be informed beforehand of exactly why I'm here.

AD-03: Of course. (He takes CTA-229 out from under the table and places it infront of The Cataloguer, sliding it over to him)

The Cataloguer: (No change in facial features or voice) I know nothing of this, should I? (He inspects it)

AD-03: I'm gonna have to call lies.

(Silence for 17 seconds).

The Cataloguer: (sighs heavily) I made it in 1780. Buried it in a stone coffin. How did you find it.

AD-03: Its been in The Vault since 1899. We've been deciding whether to contact you for a long time.

The Cataloguer: You should've. Want my advice? Don't. They had the right idea locking it in the vault, put it in a new stone coffin and bury it even deeper. You won't be able to open it.

AD-03: Whats in it that scares you so much?

The Cataloguer: Have you heard of ██████████³?

AD-03: The Sky City? CTA-137?

The Cataloguer: (He becomes visibly scared & nervous) Stop it. What more do you know?

AD-03: Nothing. Why are you afraid.

The Cataloguer: Stop researching. I've been afraid of this but now, now! Stop! (he gets up from his chair, holding the briefcase) I never should've let these documents survive. I should've burned them all. Like we did those- god forsaken lizards!

AD-03: Your from the city?! (he gets up, grabbing the pistol on his side) Explain.

The Cataloguer: (he pauses, looking around) I was a tribe leader. We joined with the other tribes to take care of those lizards, afterwards I joined the Council.

AD-03: So you know how the city went into decay.

The Cataloguer: I haven't the faintest idea.

AD-03: Is that credible?

The Cataloguer: It's true. I left it. I explored the unexplored for a thousand years and when I came back it had long fallen into ruin. Those documents were all that was left, I kept them on me. The words on those documents could topple empires, ruin gods, (noticable fear) burn the heavens to the ground! Please for the love of everything that is holy do not open that briefcase! You will burn everything humanity has worked for! You'll let something in so horrible! So truely horrible!

AD-03: (he readies his weapon) Calm down.

The Cataloguer: Didn't you ever wonder! The Architect of all this madness! Every horror in every mythology forgotten and remembered! The truth behind the devil, the beast, old scratch, beelzebub, lucifer, whatever you call him! He's so much worse! Whom the quadruplets Death are just a subject of! Please. Don't open this (gestures to the briefcase). End your research. And I will repay you ten fold.

AD-03: I can't do that.

The Cataloguer: (he sighs heavily, throwing down CTA-229 and looks up. Once again emotionally neutral) Then one day I'll see you in his Court.

AD-03: Sorry?

The Cataloguer: Goodbye, █████. As always a pleasure to see you. (The Cataloguer leaves the room)

[END LOG]

Closing statement: The Cataloguer refused all later attempts to contact directly but the OOC initiative remains unchanged by the events. The claims bought up by The Cataloguer are under investigation. The words "quadruplets Death" are being researched and cross checked with every known mythology. While questioning as to who the 'him' The Cataloguer reffered to is ongoing. Due to reference to CTA-137 the anomaly has been moved to juristiction of Project Eternal Life.

Yes, its me again. Wonderous how I email you as soon as you finish reading, almost as if i have access to your camera. Almost. You've took note of it all, the sky cities, the quadruplets Death. You could end there, The Cataloguer is the last of a great city that fell to the hands of The Quadruplets Death, and that is why Death is anomalous. But unfortunately that isn’t true.

Who is the 'he' that inspired The Devil in all the mythologies of the planet. Who indeed. I implore you end here if you want to continue life normally. Because there is no god, but there is a Devil. And he is far worse than the Devil you catalogued in bibles and scriptures. Where to next, where to next. Hmm, i'm stuck. Kidding! Go next to the elder wizard. He has many answers you've never seen before.

Yours, A dutiful friend.
