CCC-78

MORE THAN WORDS

### **Containment**

CCC-78 is, effectively, self containing. All personnel inside the underground section of Facility `6̸̢̯̖̭̜͍̲͑6̷͕͖̤͖̞̙̌̄̃͌̚͠ͅ6̴͕͠` are to be considered lost. Elevator shafts Alfa and Bravo are to be kept sealed. The CCC Foundation must ensure that land in a 25km radius of Facility `6̸̢̯̖̭̜͍̲͑6̷͕͖̤͖̞̙̌̄̃͌̚͠ͅ6̴͕͠` is unoccupied.

### **Description**

CCC-78 is the designation for a colossal containment unit located in Facility `6̸̢̯̖̭̜͍̲͑6̷͕͖̤͖̞̙̌̄̃͌̚͠ͅ6̴͕͠`. It was built over 5 years in Project Wrath, starting in 2010, as a permanent containment vessel for CCC-41

CCC-78 was activated to test its operation in 2014, and no errors occurred. On the 17 September 2015, Incident-78-Omega occurred, which resulted in the destruction of local reality, and the complete loss of the underground section of Facility `6̸̢̯̖̭̜͍̲͑6̷͕͖̤͖̞̙̌̄̃͌̚͠ͅ6̴͕͠`.

CCC-78 was intended to cause a massive reality destabilisation within its central spherical chamber, which would prevent CCC-41 from leaving. The field would be held by Esoteric Conduits, which are stationed inside the central chamber, and Exoteric Conduits, which would regulate the field. This would completely inhibit CCC-41, and possibly even keep it occupied. The reason for its catastrophic failure is completely unknown. The central chamber had multiple maintenance decks, which were stabilised by experimental Tau Stabilisers before Incident-78-Omega.

CCC-78.1 is the consciousness of former engineer Oliver Gomez, who was caught inside the central containment sphere. Something caused Oliver to `achieve APOTHEOSIS`. CCC-78.1's full capabilities and intentions are unknown.

INCIDENT-78-OMEGA
17 September 2015, 5:12PM: Engineer Oliver Gomez enters the central CCC-78 chamber to do maintenance

5:23PM: Personnel in Control Room C note a rising power level in Esoteric Conduit 12

5:24PM: Exoteric Conduit 2 detonates, releasing a high amount of Abstruse Radiation and killing 7 personnel

5:26PM: Oliver Gomez attempts to leave Internal Maintenance Deck Delta, but is struck by a bolt of light from Esoteric Conduit 22

5:27PM: CCC-78 begins to power on, and instead of destabilising reality inside itself, it rapidly causes the instability of reality inside its Facility.

5:51PM: TF Sigma-22 arrives at the Facility, and notes that they cannot enter the underground section, due to a natural law which creates a barrier between large reality differentiations (Inverse Haroovah Theory).

TRANSMISSIONS FROM FACILITY §§§
9 June 2016, 5:12PM: Can anyone hear me? I hope so. I am going to find out whats wrong.

5 April 2017, 11:09PM: I have checked all of the 1.1 Billion lines of code. Yes, I counted. NOT A SINGLE ERROR. And I quadruple checked.

20 December 2017, 2:10AM: None of the 50 Esoteric Conduits failed. I can't check the Exoteric ones however. I WILL FIND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED

12 February 2018, 10:11PM: OK lets get this straight. Something made me A: basically immortal (I dont need food, water apparently) B: very smart C: less prone to going insane. I don't know what though. I feel like I'm getting more and more powerful.

1 January 2019, 1:00AM: Happy new year! Also, I think I am getting closer to finding out the cause.

19 December 2020, 6:31PM: A̵̭̿̏͝P̸̯͋̀Ő̸̲͉̆Ť̵̝̔̽H̶̞́̑É̷̢͖͍̃͘Õ̶̢̱̫͗̈́S̶̲̎Ȉ̵̳̙̳͠S̸̗͙̭͛̋͂. Meet me in your meeting room, I have something I need to show you.

Meeting at [LOCATION REDACTED]
Overseer-5: Why are we here?

Overseer-2: Urgency Level Red meeting.

Overseer-1: Listen to these recordings, that seem to have come from inside CCC-78

Overseer-4: You mean that containment chamber turned reality destabiliser?

Overseer-2: Thats it.

THE OVERSEERS LISTEN TO THE RECORDINGS

Overseer-7: Woah? What was that at the end? How is he gonna leave that chamber?

Overseer-6: If you read up, "APOTHEOSIS" means ascending to godhood.

Overseer-3: We have a god level threat? Shouldn't CCC-78 contain hi- sorry, it?

Overseer-1: I hope so.

"̴̰̈́̆O̵͎̥͋͒L̴̳̀̈́̔Ï̸̘̀̓V̵͖́Ȅ̶̱̄̅Ȑ̸̼͚̤"̷̼̗̙̈́̂̋: LOOK UP AT THEM

Overseer-3: WHO WAS THAT?

THE OVERSEERS LOOK AROUND THE ROOM, BEFORE SETTLING TO LOOK AT YOU

"̴̰̈́̆O̵͎̥͋͒L̴̳̀̈́̔Ï̸̘̀̓V̵͖́Ȅ̶̱̄̅Ȑ̸̼͚̤"̷̼̗̙̈́̂̋: SEE THEM?

Overseer-2: Hey, who's that?

You: They can't see me?

"̴̰̈́̆O̵͎̥͋͒L̴̳̀̈́̔Ï̸̘̀̓V̵͖́Ȅ̶̱̄̅Ȑ̸̼͚̤"̷̼̗̙̈́̂̋: YES THEY CAN. HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT US. DON'T WE LOOK HUMAN?

You: They aren't real! Why am I talking to my computer?

Overseer-4: What? What? WHAT?

"̴̰̈́̆O̵͎̥͋͒L̴̳̀̈́̔Ï̸̘̀̓V̵͖́Ȅ̶̱̄̅Ȑ̸̼͚̤"̷̼̗̙̈́̂̋: OH WE ARE REAL. VERY VERY REAL. MORE THAN JUST WORDS ON A COMPUTER. MORE THAN JUST NARRATIVE CHARACTERS.

You: but, what? No. No. This isn't real.

YOU SHUT DOWN YOUR COMPUTER AND TAKE A STEP BACK

You: must be a dream, or something. Mu-

YOU FEEL SOMETHING TOUCH YOUR SHOULDER

You: OH MY GOD, OH MY FUCKING GOD, WHAT?

"̴̰̈́̆O̵͎̥͋͒L̴̳̀̈́̔Ï̸̘̀̓V̵͖́Ȅ̶̱̄̅Ȑ̸̼͚̤"̷̼̗̙̈́̂̋: WORDS ON A COMPUTER. ELEMENTS TO DRIVE A STORY.

YOU SEE THE OVERSEERS STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU

You: Oh my god. Oh My God. Oh My God. OH MY GOD.

"̴̰̈́̆O̵͎̥͋͒L̴̳̀̈́̔Ï̸̘̀̓V̵͖́Ȅ̶̱̄̅Ȑ̸̼͚̤"̷̼̗̙̈́̂̋ BEGINS TYPING. YOU BEGIN DISTORTING. SHIFTING. CHANGING.
