RCA-835

Registry #: RCA-835

Containment Difficulty Classification: Low

Threat Classification: Medium

Containment Protocols: RCA-835 is to be contained in a standard N-class anomalous item containment unit measuring 2 x 1 x 2 meters. If used for testing, RCA-835 must be plugged into a circuit that can be switched off in case of a containment breach.

Description: RCA-835 is an LCD television of unknown make and origin. It contains no video inputs of any sort; instead, it simply can be plugged into an standard American 110-volt power outlet.

RCA-835's anomalous properties manifest whenever it is turned on. The one channel accessible, somewhat resembling American news network "███", contains an anomalous entity referred to as RCA-835-1. RCA-835-1 is a hostile humanoid entity of Han Chinese descent capable of extending its nose at will, including through its television screen. The maximum observed range of this effect is 401.94 meters, achieved in an outdoor testing environment. The strength of RCA-835-1's nose is approximately 70 kg/cm2, enough to penetrate fabric, human skin, bones, wood, and glass. It is aware of this property, and will utilize it to stab victims in its line of sight. If the TV is turned off, all sections of nose in front of the television's screen will vanish. RCA-835-1 often verbally mocks its victims both before and after attacking. However, its hostility does not appear to extend towards animals, as tests involving squirrels, rabbits and mice have only produced responses.

RCA-835 was discovered in the town of Montauk, NY, notable for being the source of the Childslayer robot RCA-379, for sale on marketing website C█████l███ listed under "this tv killed my dad, want it gone now". Organization agents were able to purchase the TV set for $█,███ and establish containment shortly after.
