Description

Entity 13HRP – 0009 – The Jade Timepiece, also called the anomaly, looks like a strange old clock made of tarnished brass mixed with green jade-like veins. Its dial does not follow normal clock rules, showing thirteen uneven hours that spiral inward instead of forming a circle. The cracked glass face bends light into warped patterns, making the hands impossible to read for long. The larger hand always moves backward, while the smaller hand jumps forward in odd bursts, sometimes freezing and then moving too fast. A faint inscription on the lid reads: “Only the lost will be found.”Each time someone checks, the letters look slightly different, as if the message changes with their thoughts or fears. As a result, the Jade Timepiece always feels alive to those who watch it.

Containment

The Jade Timepiece sits in an underground vault on a stone pedestal. No other clocks or watches can stay near it, since they break instantly—clocks skip minutes, digital systems reset, and watches unwind. Cameras and monitors twist too: recordings spiral, shadows loop, and footage often shows different events for the same moment. No glass or metal case lasts longer than thirteen days before shattering. Because of this, containment depends on strict rituals of observation. Three caretakers take turns, writing down the Jade Timepiece’s movements every hour. If anyone misses an observation, that person vanishes from all memory and records, as if they never existed.

Effects and Theories

The Jade Timepiece does not destroy people; it seems to move them elsewhere. Two main ideas guide study:

Time Travel Idea: The Jade Timepiece pushes people forward or backward in time, shifting them away from the present.
Dimension Shift Idea: The Jade Timepiece moves people into a world with different rules of time.

Other ideas suggest broken results: a mind splitting in two, a body scattering across timelines, or a spirit spreading over many worlds. Since no bodies ever return, no one knows if people live, die, or exist in another way. The strange ticking—sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes backward—suggests that time and space bend together around the device.

Casualties and Ethics

Every test with the Jade Timepiece ends with the subject gone. To cover this, officials told families fake stories of car accidents. At least seven times, they told loved ones that relatives died in crashes, with remains “too damaged to identify.” This trick kept the public unaware but caused deep moral conflict. Young researchers protested, saying constant lies destroy trust and ethics. Leaders argued they needed these lies to stop panic and protect society.

Debates continue. Some call the tests murder covered by science. Others say the risk is worth it if the Jade Timepiececould threaten all life. The split has shaped every choice about research since.

Observations

Tests with special sensors picked up faint shapes that looked like human figures, flickering for seconds before breaking into light or static. Machines also recorded strange sounds: uneven ticking mixed with whispers in unknown words and footsteps that did not match anyone present. Experts call these time echoes—shadows of people pulled into other times or worlds by the Jade Timepiece.

Long recordings reveal more oddities: hours collapse into seconds, or a few minutes stretch into endless loops. One reel even showed the same person disappearing thirteen times, as if the event kept replaying. This proves that the Jade Timepiece bends rules of time in ways no other device can.

Warning Protocols

If the Jade Timepiece ever sends someone back, rules order that person into permanent quarantine. They cannot return to society. Instead, doctors run full medical and mental checks. Past events show that returnees often change: twisted bodies, voices that loop, or knowledge of future events. Reports warn staff not to trust these people, since they may only be fragments or copies of the original.

Incident Report – 0009-Jade

During one routine watch, the Jade Timepiece gave off a loud chime, though it has no parts to make sound. At once, every clock within five miles dropped the twelfth hour, jumping from eleven to one. Checks later confirmed that each day in that area now ends thirteen minutes early. Locals noticed nothing, as if the Jade Timepiece changed their minds to match the new timeline.

Moments later, a figure appeared near the vault. Witnesses saw it raise a hand as if greeting them, before its body folded inward and its face split into shards of light. The figure lasted forty-seven seconds before vanishing.

All systems broke down at once: video turned to static, sensors overloaded, and time fields around the site collapsed. Attempts to repeat the event failed. Safety rules now require armed guards at all times, and one trained time specialist must always stay on duty to watch the Jade Timepiece.

Philosophical Questions

This event started new debate. Some argue the figure showed that people may survive inside the Jade Timepiece and could be saved. Others warn that trying to bring them back risks breaking time itself. No one agrees whether the clock kills people or stores them like data waiting to return.

The most troubling idea is that if the Jade Timepiece can erase people from history, maybe it already has. Researchers ask: how can anyone be sure they are not just echoes held inside the device’s loop? In this way, 13HRP – 0009 – The Jade Timepiece threatens not only lives but also the idea of truth itself. It shakes belief in time, memory, and reality, making it one of the most dangerous anomalies known.
