13HRP – 0046 – Butter Bible
Description
Entity 13HRP – 0046 – Butter Bible, also called the Butter Bible, appears as a book bound in yellow waxy leather that leaks a greasy film. Its pages feel soft, bendy, and partly see-through, similar to parchment made from pressed butterfat. The book gives off a faint dairy smell, and long handling leaves grease on skin and clothes. The text inside shifts at odd times (often at 13 o’clock) and resists all photo or digital capture. Attempts at copying the words always fail, producing broken lines or looping phrases like “Devour the butter. Obey.” Efforts to slow this change through cooling or chemicals only delay, never stop, the mutations. Therefore, containment must remain constant.
When held for more than a few minutes, the book warms as if body heat speeds the effect. At times, it produces low churning sounds, and some handlers felt a faint vibration in their bones. Consequently, these signs suggest the book links to a larger system not yet understood.
Observed Effects
- Readers feel the urge to lick, taste, or eat the pages, even knowing the danger.
- Longer exposure leads to chanting. People repeat verses without meaning to, often matching the pitch and tone of others near them.
- Pages sometimes show bite-like holes. Later, the holes close and ooze greasy fluid.
- Eating pieces of text changes memory, replacing normal thoughts with lines from the book.
- Over time, readers grow devoted to butter rituals, often using spreading motions in daily life.
- Some report hearing dripping or churning whenever they try to recall non-doctrinal memories.
- In later stages, subjects declare themselves “butter priests” and spread the teaching through words, song, or physical acts.
Even those who have not read the book but are close to it may suffer visions or urges. This shows that the Bible gives off a passive influence field, which complicates storage and suggests that it can project its influence without being read. As a result, simple proximity can still cause harm.
Doctrinal Content
Recovered lines show that the Butter Bible records the Thirteen Spread Commandments, a set of rules that treat butter as both holy and real substance. Known verses include:
- “Thou shalt not starve; thou shalt smear.”
- “Butter endures beyond flesh, and flesh must melt to butter.”
- “At the thirteenth hour, all churns.”
- “The churner grants, the churner takes, the churner remakes.”
- “To spread is to worship; to consume is to submit.”
Other parts explain rituals that all use butter. They include smearing walls to bless a place, making candles of butterfat for ceremonies, and rubbing melted butter on the body to gain “the churner’s blessing.” Consequently, these actions match the behaviour seen in exposed staff, showing the book itself plants these patterns.
Links to related items suggest that the Butter Bible is the main text of the larger Butter Doctrine, supported by sound-based items like 13HRP – 0045 – Butter Notes. The book and songs together draw groups into ritual habits. Therefore, this supports the idea that the Doctrine is a complete system of worship, control, and change.
Historical Accounts
Reports from breaches describe operatives who, after only minutes of reading, began giving sermons in the same tones as the book. Witnesses felt forced to kneel or mimic spreading gestures. In one case, a team exposed for forty minutes refused food other than butter, smeared themselves with it, and repeated the Commandments. Their skin grew waxy patches like partial butter tissue. Consequently, recovery of affected teams became almost impossible.
Other stories tell of civilians who found scraps of the Bible. Whole homes soon gave in to butter rituals. Families built shrines of butter wrappers, smeared dairy across doors, and chanted for days until stopped. Incident records show that outbreaks of butter-themed behaviour matched times when the book’s text changed more quickly. This suggests the book projects its power in a wider area and, therefore, requires constant monitoring.
One extreme case involved a village fully taken over. Effigies coated in butter lined the streets, houses were thickly smeared, and diaries copied the same Thirteen Commandments almost word for word. As a result, the entire community fell to the Doctrine.
Containment Protocol
The Hollow Reality Project keeps the Butter Bible in a cold vault below 0°C to slow changes. Entry requires three-step clearance and the watch of at least two hazard experts. No one may speak the words out loud while viewing the book. Furthermore, all staff must wear sound blockers to stop voice spread. Viewing shifts last no longer than fifteen minutes, followed by checks and debriefs.
Cross-links are banned. Items like 13HRP – 0045 – Butter Notes must not be stored with it, as together they make the doctrine stronger. If the Bible escapes, automatic systems burn all contaminated material, while operatives are cleaned of grease at once. Therefore, response protocols focus on speed and fire.
Any new test must have full ethics approval. Because of the risk of spread, no direct reading trials have been allowed since Incident B-13. Trying to bypass these rules is treated as hostile action against the Project. Consequently, enforcement measures remain strict.
Concluding Assessment
The 13HRP – 0046 – Butter Bible is not a normal book but a self-spreading idea machine. Its text shifts like a living thing, rewriting itself and the minds of those who read it. Scholars warn that it may be the main scripture of a long-dead cult that could rise again on a wide scale. The mix of shifting text, ritual habits, and passive projection shows that the book is part of a design whose full scope is not yet known. Therefore, ignoring its threat would be reckless.
Containment must, above all, protect the world from both the object and its echoes—whether spoken by survivors, sung in twisted hymns, or smeared in grease. Failure risks the Doctrine returning as an unstoppable plague of belief. Consequently, the Project must treat the Bible not as scripture but as weaponised liturgy, waiting for the right moment to spread again.
