ISC-043

ISC-043-1, walking in his ‘Containment Chamber’

Object # : ISC-043

Official Codename : Time’s Prisoner

Item Class : Medio

Confinement Satisfactory Information : As 043-1 is willing to cooperate with any methods of containment, and does not respond with hostility or malice even when someone is attempting to kill the subject, this Mythos is to be treated with patience and respect when following confinement procedures. ISC-043, or more accurately ISC-043-1 & ISC-043-3 are to be contained within ISC-043-2.

ISC-043-2 is to be contained within Zone 15, surrounded by heavily armed guards patrolling all three entrance methods into ISC-043-2, for I Class testing, for researchers, and for armed guards for the sake of having to manage the ISC-043-3 instances. It is also recommended to limit discovered unconventional methods of getting in. (For example, ISC-061 teleporting one it's victims inside ISC-043-2.)

In the case ISC-043-1 were to end up being taken from confinement, he has been, and is to be escorted back to ISC-043-2 with armed personnel protecting him. Instances of ISC-043-3 breaching confinement from ISC-O43-2 have been, and are to be terminated under sustained & heavy gunfire. Do note that trying to gun them down *within* confinement has not, and will not work until they are *out* of confinement.

Description : ISC-043 consists of three major entities, those being ISC-043-1, ISC-043-2, & ISC-043-3.

ISC-043-1 is a benevolent male Mythos, noted by almost all people who've interacted with the Mythos have noted him to be rather depressed and self insulting entity. Contrary to the nature of ISC-043-3, 043-1 does not respond with violence to any attack, as the entity is invulnerable to all forms of harm, instead of responding aggressively, the Mythos would instead apologize to the *aggressor* for supposedly angering them. ISC-043-1 consistently wanders within ISC-043-2, & it's human settlements consisting of I Class personnel that were either stranded, or during testing with ISC-043-2. Strangely, 043-1 can spawn anything within ISC-043-2, ranging from resources, sustenance, to many anomalous things. With the cooperation of the Mythos & stranded I Class, the latter were able to build a community within the [REDACTED] km.

ISC-043-2 is a white, square space seemingly reaching up to [DATA EXPUNGED] square miles in length, though has been confirmed to have an end point. Contrary to ISC-043-1 and instances of ISC-043-3, ISC-043-2 is confirmed to be non-sentient and lifeless, as such, victims who die to ISC-043-2 is typically because of starvation or dehydration, due to not encountering ISC-043-1 in time to supply them with food & resources. ISC-043-2 has a day-night system identical in length to a non-anomalous Earth time system, rather the change is instaneous, 'Daytime' goes from 6:00 AM to 7:59 PM, with 'Nighttime' lasting through 8:00 PM & 5:59 AM. Timers work normally & incorrect times automatically correct to the time within ISC-043-2. Whilst ISC-043-2's only difference between the 'phases' are brightness, visibility & temperature. During 'Nighttime' or in secluded and dark areas, instances of ISC-043-3 appear.

ISC-043-3 are blacked out, 'glitched' appearing versions of ISC-043-1. They have been confirmed to be separate entities from 043-1, and are malevolent, murderous, & predatory to all forms of life within certain dark and/or secluded sections or in some scenarios, 'Nightime' of ISC-043-2. They tend to appear alone, but in rare scenarios, as many as 7 instances of ISC-043-3 have been recorded stalking, and attempting to kill its victims. They, like 043-1 & 043-2 are invulnerable to all forms of harm. Although, once outside of ISC-043-2, they are vulnerable to lethal physical trauma under heavy sustained & effective damaging methods, such as electricity, bullets, controlled fire, etc. ISC-043-3 will never, or stop hunting their victim, and promptly fade out and disappear if : the victim in question manages to find way to at least 4 more people, the victim manages to last the stalking and survive until 'daytime' occurs again in ISC-043-2, encounter ISC-043-1 whilst in pursuit from an 043-3 instance, or the victim manages to find an exit to ISC-043-2, with the last method being very rare, and typically leads to the instance of 043-3 following it's victim out and by proxy, becoming vulnerable to physical trauma and death. This leads to them dissipating upon death. ISC-043-1 seems to be acutely aware of the deaths caused by instances of ISC-043-3, and reportedly feels "immeasurable levels of guilt because of it."

Notes : Pictures have been taken of ISC-043-2 during its phases & a brief picture of a singular instance of ISC-043-3 chasing an I Class victim, and can be seen below.
