Object Class
Euclid

Special Containment Procedures
At all times, unless while doing the research, the interior of KCP-294 is free of humans and AI entities. Equipment that does not affect the behavior of KCP-294 is to be kept in a separate, soundproofed vault.

All personnel viewing KCP-294 are to be equipped with infrared vision devices. Non-infected personnel is required to wear hazmat suits when inside the mine, in order to prevent [REDACTED]. When viewing KCP-294, no external source of light may be used to view the entity or the entities within the object.

Description
KCP-294 is a system of uranium mines built in 1941, consisting of two cylinders of [REDACTED] steel-reinforced concrete containing a [REDACTED] of Uranium 235. Containment mechanisms are currently unknown but have at some point been accessed by KCP-294 and its inhabitants. An office within the mine has [REDACTED] printed on its walls, along with a report stating that the mines were abandoned due to labor shortage and material shortages in the 1940s.

When the entity's office is viewed through an infrared camera, an entity known as KCP-294-1 appears on the floor in front of the camera, appearing as a partially decomposed humanoid with severe radiation sickness. Similar humanoids can be spotted across the whole mine construction without the need for an infrared camera.

KCP-294-1 - "The Uranium Miner"
KCP-294-1 is the term used to describe the hostile entities that are created inside of the KCP-294. KCP-294-1's appearance varies with each individual instance. They appear to be created from the remains of a lower human-like anatomy. No color is consistent with each instance. KCP-294-1 humanoid form is [REDACTED], but [REDACTED]. The purpose of KCP-294-1 is to engage in mining operations, using the remains of corpses from pre-war construction as suitable human-like materials. This has been confirmed to create [REDACTED] average wage levels in excess of 1000 U.S. Dollars per year. KCP-294-1's main purpose appears to be establishing an [REDACTED] within the mine and having as many [REDACTED] as possible in the mine, after which [REDACTED] the mine and retreat with the majority of the uranium ore. All KCP-294-1 are capable of utilizing any resource at hand to build the tools and equipment to facilitate their goals, after which they retreat with the tools, ore, and humans that constructed the mine.

All of the KCP-294-1 instances are very hostile toward any living creature that is inside the mines. However, [REDACTED]. The entities can differentiate between various physical traits. They are easily identified as infected with [REDACTED] by any non-infected persons. Personnel entering the mine must perform a full body scan, and are to check the faces of those scanned for signs of the [REDACTED]. These entities tend to have large heads that are close to impossibly large.

KCP-294-2 - "The Dust Machine"
KCP-294-2 is an entity created by KCP-294-3, which acts as an assistant to KCP-294-1 entities during mining operations. KCP-294-2 is a [REDACTED] and is noted to not be hostile, although it has been known to kill intruders during mining operations by [REDACTED] Foundation agents.

KCP-294-2 is the term used to describe a mechanical arm, capable of removing anything within a ten-foot range of the arm, without damage. KCP-294-2's primary purpose appears to be disposing of refuse. KCP-294-2 has the capability of removing living objects, as well as items that have been [REDACTED] by KCP-294-1.

KCP-294-2 has been observed to remove anything living within a ten-foot radius of the arm and deposit the remains in the mines. Although multiple tools have been observed to have the [REDACTED] removed from them, no tool has been observed to have [REDACTED] taken from them. It has also been confirmed that KCP-294-2 will remove [REDACTED] from a human's [REDACTED].

KCP-294-3 - "The Man on Wheels"
KCP-294-3 is an anomalous humanoid within the mine. KCP-294-3 has a humanoid form and has been described by Foundation Agents as being [REDACTED]. KCP-294-3 is capable of driving any machinery and appears to be the only entity that knows how to operate it, creating an environment where [REDACTED] is very prevalent.

KCP-294-3 has been seen to make numerous [REDACTED] that are necessary for the operation of machinery, as well as disposing of corpses by [REDACTED]. One instance of KCP-294-3 was also observed to vomit [REDACTED] on one of the Foundation agents investigating KCP-294.

KCP-294-3 can be temporarily destroyed using conventional weaponry, although it will soon be reconstructed by one (or several) of the KCP-294-1 instances or the KCP-294-2.
