13HRP – 0058 – Jade Ring
Description
Entity 13HRP – 0058 – Jade Ring is a simple band carved from deep green jade with faint white veins. At first glance, it appears unremarkable, worn smooth by countless years of use. However, under spectral analysis, the jade glows faintly from within, revealing shifting patterns — sometimes fractal, sometimes fluid — that never repeat. Witnesses claim the ring seems to “watch” them when worn.
Properties
- Resonance: When placed on a human hand, the ring adjusts size automatically. Once fitted, the wearer cannot remove it without amputating the finger.
- Perception Distortion: Wearers report intrusive thoughts described as “borrowed memories,” often replaying moments of trauma or joy that belong to someone else.
- Voice Carrying: The ring amplifies whispers, allowing nearby individuals to hear them as if spoken directly into their ears. In one case, a whisper traveled through three sealed rooms, waking all subjects inside.
- Emotional Balance: Prolonged wear produces alternating states of calm clarity and destructive rage. Analysts label the ring as both stabilizer and destabilizer — a paradoxical tool.
- Reflection Hazard: When wearers look into mirrors (see 13HRP – 0051 – Mirror World), their reflection always shows two rings, one on each hand, regardless of reality. Attempts to document this anomaly corrupt image files.
Behavior
The ring retains memory-like imprints. When passed between users, it carries forward certain emotions. For example, if the previous wearer died in despair, the next wearer immediately experiences panic and dread. Conversely, users who die while wearing it sometimes whisper coherent sentences through the ring hours after death, which nearby staff can hear.
Containment Protocols
- Keep the Jade Ring in a sealed, mirrored chamber at Site ██.
- Do not allow direct skin contact without authorization from Level 4.
- Handlers must wear gloves lined with silver-thread fabric at all times.
- Any wearer requires observation for a minimum of thirteen days after exposure.
Cross References
- 13HRP – 0009 – The Jade Timepiece: Energy signatures show identical fractal resonance, suggesting a shared origin or manufacturing process.
- 13HRP – 0053 – Silvia Zilutic: Reports describe her wearing a glowing jade band during Mirror World events, though whether it is the same ring remains unresolved.
- 13HRP – 0004 – Johnny: Subject expressed obsession with acquiring the ring, describing it as “the lock that fits my key.”
- 13HRP – 0056 – Iron Cage: Tests revealed that placing the Jade Ring inside the cage amplifies the cage’s mind-locking effect by 300%.
Incident Report 58-C Filed ██/██/████, Site ██.
Operative ████ wore the Jade Ring during controlled exposure to Mirror World corridors. After 47 minutes, operatives reported he spoke in Olivia’s voice, repeating: “The darkness holds me. The ring is my shame.” Immediately after, the corridor bent ninety degrees into impossible geometry, and the operative vanished into the distortion. Thirteen hours later, the ring reappeared on the table, dry and intact. No trace of the operative has been found.
Assessment
Entity 0058 – Jade Ring acts as both relic and parasite. It remains unclear whether the ring was created as a tool of control, a relic of devotion, or a fragment of the Mirror World itself. What is clear is that it maintains a deep resonance with Olivia, Silvia, and Johnny, marking it as a keystone artifact within the Hollow Reality Project.
