Classification: Artifact / Mind Control

Description

13HRP – 0030, called “The Head Piece,” is a crown-like object made of bone, metal, and crystal. It gives off no clear energy under normal tests. However, anyone who wears the Head Piece loses free will and begins to act with hive-like obedience. Consequently, even brief exposure proves dangerous. In addition, observers often describe the wearer’s behavior as both mechanical and unsettlingly calm, making the 13HRP – 0030 – Head Piece one of the most deceptive anomalies.

The 13HRP – 0030 – Head Piece also seems built to finish the changes caused by 13HRP – 0024 – Maids Uniform, making unstable hosts more stable and able to survive. As a result, the Head Piece is tied to the wider cycle of change and control. Furthermore, its influence appears to linger even after removal, which complicates recovery.

Effects

Mind Control: Wearers hear intrusive voices, described as “coming from the Egg.” As a result, these voices replace independent thought and force obedience. Furthermore, the voices often echo commands already present in the containment system, showing the Head Piece links to deeper cycles.
Stabilisation: If the subject already wears 0024, the Head Piece speeds up the change, stops flesh rot, and produces a lasting but grotesque form. Moreover, the effect removes most resistance, leaving the host docile and compliant.
Resonance Boost: When near 13HRP – 0064 – The Lost Vas, the Head Piece shakes and makes tones that match the Vas’s hum. This link may also trigger large-scale Egg growth. Consequently, the cycle spreads faster and grows harder to contain.
Egg Reaction: If placed close to 13HRP – 0345 – Crimson Egg, hatching speeds up. Therefore, the larvae gather around the wearer as though they see them as a parent. Furthermore, staff noted that the larvae follow commands given through the wearer’s voice, creating an unsettling hierarchy tied directly to the 13HRP – 0030 – Head Piece.

Hypothesis

The 13HRP – 0030 – Head Piece seems to act as the control point of the Crown of Flesh Cycle. Therefore, each part contributes to a different stage:

The Maid’s Uniform (0024) changes the body.
The Head Piece (0030) takes over the mind.
The Lost Vas (0064) supplies the pattern and hum.
The Crimson Egg (0345) allows spreading.

Together, they make a full cycle of change, obedience, and breeding. Furthermore, some researchers suggest the Head Piece acts as a bridge between each stage, making the cycle harder to break. Consequently, the artifact represents a linchpin in the system. In conclusion, the 13HRP – 0030 – Head Piece may destabilize the entire cycle if destroyed.

Containment

Keep the Head Piece in a magnetic field to stop anyone from wearing it.
Do not allow direct touch; instead, use remote tools only.
Never allow contact with 0024, 0064, or 0345, since such contact strengthens the cycle. In addition, staff must always follow strict cross-checks before entering the chamber to ensure the Head Piece remains secure.

Council Note – 0030

“Do not crown the body. The loop is not a puzzle to solve but a cycle to endure. The 13HRP – 0030 – Head Piece completes what the Vas starts. Let it remain undone.”

Incident Log 0030-A – “The Crowning”

Location: Site-34, Chamber B-12
Involved:

0024 – The Maid’s Uniform (active subject)
0030 – The Head Piece (stored item)
0345 – Crimson Egg (specimen)

Event Summary:
On ██/██/20██, Specialist [REDACTED] broke rules by lowering the Head Piece into Chamber B-12. At the time, a test subject already wore 0024. The subject was deep in change: skin lattice showing, spine growths, and uncontrolled screaming. Consequently, the act created an uncontrolled link between artifacts and started a chain of collapse. Moreover, the sequence highlighted how these objects reinforce each other, with the 13HRP – 0030 – Head Piece at the center.

Timeline:

00:02 – The Head Piece was placed on the subject. Screaming stopped. Subject stood rigid, eyes glowing faint red.
00:03 – Resonance spiked. The Lost Vas (0064), stored two sectors away, shook violently and caused minor damage.
00:04 – A Crimson Egg pulsed and broke. A larva came out and latched onto the crowned subject.
00:05 – Subject raised arms in ritual motions. Many voices came from their mouth: “The body is clothed. The mind is crowned. The Egg remembers.”
00:06 – Skin growths produced more Egg shapes. Chamber filled with fluid. Consequently, equipment failed, and staff lost communication.
00:09 – Emergency purge began. Chamber burned with gel. Nothing was left.

Aftermath:

The Lost Vas hummed for 11 hours after the event.
Six staff who heard the audio feed later felt cloth tightening on their limbs.
Three staff needed sedation after trying to “finish the crown.” Consequently, the site tightened all safety rules and rewrote containment steps. Furthermore, all recordings of the event were sealed, and reference to the Head Piece was restricted.

Council Directive:

“The crowning completes the cycle. Any repeat of Incident 0030-A counts as treason. The 13HRP – 0030 – Head Piece must never touch flesh again.”

Incident Report: Zeldt 00027-X

Researchers tested the Head Piece on Zeldt 00027-X, a prisoner known for blowing up a gas station. They forced him to wear the 13HRP – 0030 – Head Piece for seven days.

At first, he heard whispers. By day five, the whispers became full commands telling him to “burn the facility down.” He grew restless, pacing and chanting about “burning lace.” On day seven, he stole a lighter and tried to set fires in a storage wing. Guards stopped him, but fires damaged several halls before suppression systems worked. Therefore, this proved the artifact worsens violent urges and can break a secure site. Moreover, it showed how fast the Head Piece changes thought into action. Consequently, researchers stopped all further prisoner trials. In addition, this marked the 13HRP – 0030 – Head Piece as an Omega-level mental hazard.

Aftermath and Decline

After the failed arson, staff removed the Head Piece from Zeldt 00027-X. Removal caused instant breakdown. He screamed about “burning from inside,” tore at his scalp, and tried to set himself on fire. Doctors noted lasting paranoia, voices, and mood swings. Consequently, they prescribed 200mg of Zelporedine daily. Lower doses caused relapse into rage and delusion. The drug is now permanent. Furthermore, medical staff monitor his brain scans weekly, ensuring no further changes develop from Head Piece influence.

Administrators moved Zeldt 00027-X to 13HRP – 6666 – Death Room for monitored duties. He stays on heavy medication and has no access to fire or fuel. Even sedated, he hums in rhythm with the artifact’s whispers, showing lasting brain marks from the Head Piece. Consequently, the Council restricted his access to other anomalies and placed the Head Piece on permanent ban.

As a result, the artifact is now banned from tests. All divisions agreed it is too dangerous to use again. Furthermore, the Council now views the Head Piece as a permanent hazard. Consequently, records remain the only source of study, and no new trials will ever take place. In conclusion, the 13HRP – 0030 – Head Piece remains one of the most dangerous artifacts documented.

Containment Protocols

Wall Locker B7-2 in the north wing of [REDACTED] holds the Head Piece. Alloy plating and biometric locks secure the locker, marked with clear warning labels. Staff must not open or handle the item. Even short exposure triggers its effects. If someone does touch it, they must enter quarantine, undergo mental checks, and receive full care. Early hair loss is the first sign of infection and must be treated fast. Consequently, all handlers receive hair checks weekly and submit reports regularly to confirm they remain unaffected by the 13HRP – 0030 – Head Piece.

Secondary rules also say all images or notes of the Head Piece must be screened before sharing. Moreover, no reconstructions or digital models are allowed, since even partial copies caused mild compulsions in staff. Therefore, staff must avoid all visual duplication and report any attempted copying. Furthermore, any unauthorized replication attempts count as sabotage, especially if tied to the Head Piece’s design.

Conclusion

13HRP – 0030 – Head Piece shows how a simple-looking object hides huge risks. Behind its antique look lies a tool that spreads control, fear, and madness. Its plain shape makes it more dangerous, as people may mistake it for a harmless relic.

Current policy enforces strong containment and bans all contact. The case of Zeldt 00027-X shows the artifact can break minds, create addicts, and threaten whole sites. Consequently, the Head Piece is seen as both a mind hazard and a contagion of behavior. All research has stopped, with only records kept for study. Therefore, the Hollow Reality Project now marks the 13HRP – 0030 – Head Piece as restricted, kept only as a warning of how deadly normal objects can become. In summary, the Head Piece represents a perfect example of how cycles of control grow when left unchecked.
