RARE MATTER
DETECTION AND OBSERVATION

Once detected, Rare Matter must be captured and stabilized for observation. Human senses cannot register these occurrences directly. Our proprietary method renders them observable.

Due to the unique nature of individual specimens, the conditions can only be held for a period, before the observation window closes. Some are more sensitive than others and may last only a single day, while others may persist for months or even years.

If necessary, stewards of the site can request that our team return periodically to re-stabilize the sample. Alternatively, we have developed methods of capturing the sample and placing it in stasis. Subsequent observation windows may then be opened at different times and locations.

Specimens — logged
RM–041 · [coordinates pending]
Subconscious Projections
Images from the collective unconscious bubble up from the anomaly, are stabilized, and directed at a surface. The projections seem to respond to whatever surface is provided by dancing around it, and interacting with its topography.
CLASS ephemeral
COMPOSITION photon
SCALE variable
STATUS recoverable
RM–055 · [coordinates pending]
Floating Vapor Pods
Vapor collects inside a fragile membrane and drifts upward through dense fog. Concentrated light ruptures the structure on contact, releasing the sample back into open atmosphere.
CLASS ephemeral
COMPOSITION vapor, photon, membrane
SCALE vast
STATUS recoverable
Flaming Disc — RM-032
RM–032 · 29.75° N, 95.36° W
Flaming Disc
Hovers roughly 10' from the ground. Stabilized by harmonic lattice structure and variable speed rotational containment.
CLASS pyro
COMPOSITION gaseous (combustion)
SCALE 5 ft diameter
STATUS dissipated
Humanoid Flower — RM-018
RM–018 · 30.27° N, 97.74° W
Humanoid Flower
Appears on a stabilizing plane matrix. Performs rhythmic undulations and spontaneous fluttering in response to atmospheric conditions such as sound.
CLASS animate
COMPOSITION sentient tissues
SCALE 5.5 ft maximum
STATUS dissipated
Violet Beams — RM-027
RM–027 · 36.06° N, 106.02° W
Violet Beams
Emanate from the anomaly upwards and outwards at unpredictable angles. Varying intensity and movement in response to atmospheric conditions and manipulation of stabilization apparatus.
CLASS ephemeral
COMPOSITION photon
SCALE ∞
STATUS recoverable
Field protocol
01
Report
Have you detected what you believe to be an anomalous sample of Rare Matter? Please report it to our team!
02
Assessment
Our team will visit your site and/or collect the necessary data to determine the viability of stabilization. We return you a quote and development timeline.
03
Synthesis
We will determine the exact methods necessary to stabilize your sample, and create the proper instrumentation with which to make it viewable by you and your guests.
04
Delivery
We arrive on your site prior to your guests to install the instrumentation. We must remain with the sample during observation to ensure observer safety and instrument functionality. Your guests may use this time to ask us questions.
05
Stasis / Maintenance
If possible and desired, we either contain the specimen and place it in stasis for further observation at a later date, or return periodically to maintain the functionality of the equipment. However, once we leave site, you're responsible for the safety of future observers!
