## ARCP

**Anomalous Research and Containment Protocols:** LOI-720 is to be cut off from the outside world via a 10km exclusion zone, with squads of armed soldiers patrolling the perimeter at all times. Any civilians who trespassed into the exclusion zone were to be detained and interrogated, before being amnesticized with Class-C amnestics to remove memories related to Amigara Mountain. Civilians who managed to avoid the armed squads were to be tranquilized or shot in the legs, but those who reached their holes were to be considered lost. At all times are personnel not allowed to remove their SCRAMBLE Amigara Variant gear under any circumstances.

As part of Operation No Madness social media and news media are to cooperate with the Fusoan government, Imperial Fusoan Agency on Paranormal Occurrences and Phenomenons, Paranormal Forces Coalition and its Project CHARYBDIS to reduce the likelihood of Fusoan civilians seeing pictures or videos of the human-shaped holes on Amigara Mountain. For this, several Artificial Intelligence Conscripts were to browse the internet for any and all images and videos related to LOI-720.

Also as part of Operation NO MADNESS knowledge of LOI-720 and its anomalous properties must be on books and texts describing the LOI and its anomalous properties. Under no circumstances are actual images of the human-shaped holes be posted, with only artistic sketches of such being allowed. Efforts are underway to seal the holes with either concrete or magma.

## Description

Location of Interest 720 refers to the anomalous phenomenon at and around Amigara Mountain. It is non-anomalous when located far from the mountain, but those within or near the mountain will result in them being compelled anomalously to strip down their clothes and place themselves on their shaped holes, upon which they were sucked into. After a period of months they will reappear on the other side albeit as deformed creatures, designated LOI-720-1.

## Addendum 720.1: Discovery

LOI-720 was discovered after an earthquake struck Hokkaido, but its anomalous properties didn't manifest until rescue teams and civilians gathered at one side of Amigara Mountain. Several civilians were compelled to strip down and enter their holes without regard for their lives. When news of the incident reached throughout, the Council of the International Union Paranormal Forces Coalition tasked Project CHARYBDIS, focused on the integration of the five Novayano-Japanese governorates into the international community and society, with containing and researching the anomalous location.

## Addendum 720.2: Recovered Transcripts

The following consisted of narrative texts written by Fusonic, Fusoan, Astrenian, Astreno-Japanese and Novayano-Japanese chroniclers on the history of Amigara Mountain. Most of the texts were recovered from libraries across the five governorates and translated into English with assistance from Novayano-Japanese translators.

It was at the island of Amigara that we found these ancient, man-sized holes. No one knows when or where such holes came from.
During our exploration of this mountain we came across horrid monstrosities that were far longer, taller, deformed. Our mercenaries took care of them before they ever harm us. We set our camps nearby so we may study them.
The first troubles came when a few of our guards and fellow magi lost their mind and placed themselves onto their holes, followed by several others.
Some killed themselves despite trying to control themselves, while a few were able to control themselves. Others simply left. I was among those few who controlled themselves.
The shogunate sent troops to take over the are despite our warnings only for a great many to fall to the same temptations. We were later interrogated by the surviving troops, who passed our experiences to their leaders. While under captivity an invasion fleet from Maradika arrived and occupied Amigara and did battle with those from Yor-Salem and a few of their allies. There they all witnessed many of their own giving themselves up to their fitting holes.
A few months after and we had been commissioned by a great many leaders such as the shogun and the Imperial Regent in breaking the mountain. Through our friends in the Imperial kingdom of Astrenia and the land of the Daevas the great sorcerers and magi of their lands unleashed a cascade of disasters that wracked the mountain, blasting its wretched sides into oblivion. Then we started filling any remaining holes with rocks and debris and built sloped walls and structures to house them all.
