Die Glocke

## Description:

Die Glocke, translated into English as "The Bell," is an anomalous technological object developed by the Nazi Wunderwaffe Program during World War II, currently held in the custody of the Fourth Reich. Die Glocke is described as a large metal bell-shaped object several yards in height and width that hums and glows with an unnatural energy; a wide variety of anomalous properties are attributed to the object, which has led to much speculation within the JPCU (*Note: Some information is likely misinformation spread by the Fourth Reich*).

Die Glocke is a bell-shaped steel object approximately four (4) meters in height and two and a half (2.5) meters in width, tapering slightly toward the top; the top of the object supposedly features a glass casing with reinforcing metal struts and an access port door at the very top. The object's humming and anomalous vibrations emanate from the bell-like opening at the bottom of the vessel, which is said to induce levitation and "antigravity" effects when the object is activated.

According to witness testimony and recovered records from post-war Poland, tests conducted with Die Glocke involved the activation of the object which, in a radius of about two hundred (200) meters, would liquify organic matter over time; larger plants, humanoids, and animals, however, needed to be within a few dozen meters for the effect to be powerful enough to have a significant effect. Testimony describes Die Glocke as creating a shimmering field of vibrations, supposedly induced by the simple mechanism contained within the device, that would induce hallucinations, pain, headaches, deafness, blood clots, heart palpitations, strokes, heart attacks, and death in those who came within a few meters of the active device; these vibrations were apparently powerful enough to lift Die Glocke several meters off of the ground, a feat which would require incredibly powerful shockwaves to produce. Eyewitness accounts also describe the Nazi scientists retrieving a glass cylinder of a strange red liquid (theorized to be Vril) from within the device after its operation; this detail has led JPCU researchers to believe that Die Glocke was an attempt at producing/harvesting Vril from living matter using ancient technology derived from materials retrieved from some unrecorded site. JPCU researchers hypothesize that Die Glocke induced powerful reality-warping quantum vibrations that had a psychoactive effect on those nearby in addition to the powerful physical ailments it caused; these anomalous vibrations disrupt localized reality, which would explain another reported detail of Die Glocke: its ability to provide flash images of the past and future via the glass dome at the device's top (*Note: These visions were reported only to contain images of the local area's past and future*).

### History:

The JPCU was made aware of Die Glocke's presence before the JPCU's founding, as the Faraday Unit, a predecessor organization to the JPCU/GOC, was the first group to hear rumors of the device's existence. Faraday Unit attempted to track down the device to prevent use of its various reality-disturbing properties but were unsuccessful in doing so before it and several other important Fourth Reich devices, along with over six hundred (600) Nazi scientists and their leader, Hans Kammler, were able to disappear via subterranean train into the Czech mountains. Origins of the device are unknown, but theorized to result from Fourth Reich interaction with ancient technology from the Empire of Atlantis, [REDACTED], or unidentified alien civilizations.
