Entity 13HRP – 0029 – The Warm, colloquially designated The Warm, manifests as a lithic anomaly distinguished by its reddish-brown coloration and intermittent pink striations concentrated along one lateral surface. When exposed to ultraviolet illumination, the object exhibits a faint pulsatile luminescence, although this phenomenon ceases under electronic observation, thereby hindering efforts at reliable documentation. Its mass demonstrates extreme and erratic variability, oscillating unpredictably between 2.5 pounds and in excess of 666 pounds. In several cases, this fluctuation has temporarily disabled reinforced containment scales. This instability continues to evade integration into any established framework of anomalous physics, rendering current theoretical models highly speculative. Some researchers argue that The Warm extracts or exchanges energy with an unidentified extradimensional reservoir, although no empirical validation of this claim has yet been achieved.

The rock’s surface morphology also undergoes periodic transformation, alternating between a vitreous, almost polished smoothness and a granular, abrasive texture. Personnel frequently report that the stone appears to “breathe” faintly in their grasp, as though a subtle respiratory rhythm courses through it. Notably, no measurable air displacement accompanies these accounts, suggesting the presence of a perceptual distortion or a cognitohazardous effect. Taken together, these attributes situate The Warm as one of the most enigmatic and conceptually resistant anomalies preserved within the Hollow Reality Project archive.

Direct dermal contact with The Warm generates an immediate warming sensation, which subjects often liken to therapeutic stone massage. For the first several minutes, the effect appears benign, inducing relaxation and muscular release. However, after approximately 969 seconds of uninterrupted contact, the object reverses its thermal properties abruptly. Test subjects undergo a rapid and severe decline in core temperature, accompanied by visible frost accumulation, marked systemic hypothermia, and, in advanced presentations, full-body encasement within crystalline ice. During one particularly well-documented case, a Zeldt subject’s core temperature dropped to -10°C within thirty seconds, resulting in the catastrophic crystallisation of internal organs and subsequent death.

The severity of the thermal inversion varies across test populations. Some individuals exhibit only temporary hypothermic shock, while others collapse into irreversible cryogenic arrest within moments. Unless immediate separation occurs, accompanied by aggressive rewarming protocols, survival remains impossible. This unpredictable range of responses, combined with its uniformly lethal outcomes during prolonged exposures, has placed The Warm among the most dangerous contact-based anomalies in the Project’s custody.

In addition, secondary observations reveal further complexities. Several subjects have reported intense dreams following even brief exposure, with recurring imagery of vast frozen landscapes, silent figures constructed of stone and ice, and strange chanting resonating beneath the earth. The possibility that The Warm influences cognitive and perceptual domains beyond the physical remains under investigation.

Although lethality remains the dominant pattern, The Warm has periodically manifested highly anomalous behaviours inconsistent with its thermal paradigm. One subject sustained continuous contact for over ten hours, claiming to experience profound tranquillity and reporting auditory perceptions resembling lullabies. This apparent stability collapsed, however, when cross-species testing was introduced. A chicken placed in the chamber combusted instantly upon contact with the stone, reducing to ash in less than a second. Immediately thereafter, the previously unaffected subject entered rapid cryogenic arrest, freezing solid within moments.

Subsequent analysis suggested that the subject’s prolonged immunity resulted from concurrent exposure to 13HRP – 0270 – Happy Pappy, an anomaly believed to attenuate harmful anomalous effects. The chicken’s interaction, however, introduced a destabilising biological factor that disrupted this protective field, triggering a destructive feedback loop. This case illustrates the immense risks associated with multi-entity testing protocols and reinforces the prohibition against simultaneous anomaly exposure.

Additional trials have produced equally confounding outcomes. In some cases, nearby organic matter spontaneously combusted without direct contact. In others, steel restraints surrounding the test environment liquefied, flowing as though composed of molten wax. On multiple occasions, a dense fog with cryogenic qualities filled the chamber, persisting for hours despite environmental regulation. These findings collectively demonstrate that The Warm possesses a behavioural repertoire far broader than thermal inversion alone, complicating attempts at predictive modelling and elevating its classification level.

Perhaps the most concerning characteristic of The Warm lies in its dangerous synergy with other anomalies. Documented interactions with 13HRP – 0269 – Golden13 Spoon reveal that simultaneous contact results in total-body transmutation into gold. This transformation occurs in less than one second, converting blood, bone, and tissue into a seamless metallic statue. Eyewitness accounts describe the process as both mesmerizing and horrifying. Recovery of these golden effigies has proven equally hazardous, as prolonged handling produces exhaustion, dizziness, and toxicological symptoms resembling anomalous gold poisoning.

The Warm’s role as an anomalous amplifier extends beyond this singular relationship. Its earlier interaction with Happy Pappy produced cascading effects that destabilised both entities. Theoretical models predict even more catastrophic outcomes should the object approach anomalies such as 13HRP – 0313 – Melted Choir. These projections suggest that 13HRP – 0029 – The Warm functions not merely as an isolated hazard but as a catalytic force capable of exponentially magnifying other anomalies’ destructive potential. Consequently, containment teams now treat its interconnectivity as an existential risk factor requiring maximal safeguards.

Following the catastrophic Zeldt incident, the Hollow Reality Project undertook a complete overhaul of containment protocols. Personnel now handle The Warm exclusively with reinforced tongs insulated by layered composites designed to resist both extreme heat and cryogenic discharge. The anomaly is housed within a triple-fortified vault embedded in reinforced architectural structures. Continuous monitoring includes mass fluctuation sensors, temperature trackers, and resonance detectors calibrated to register anomalous vibrations. Automated cryogenic lockdown systems remain primed to activate should any parameter exceed predetermined thresholds.

During transport, containment teams employ a mobile cage constructed from ice-resistant alloys with multi-redundant locking systems. Even under these conditions, breaches persist as a significant concern. In one transfer experiment, a rat introduced for testing froze instantaneously upon contact, reaffirming the lethal potency of the anomaly and the necessity for extreme caution.

Personnel directives emphasise absolute prohibition against ingestion, casual handling, or unauthorised experimentation. Discovery of The Warm in the possession of any operative or civilian requires immediate apprehension, mandatory quarantine, and transfer to high-level security custodians for decontamination, interrogation, and observation.

Entity 13HRP – 0029 – The Warm, exemplifies one of the Hollow Reality Project’s most volatile and analytically resistant anomalies. Its extreme mass fluctuations, catastrophic thermal inversions, and capacity for unpredictable cross-anomaly interactions underscore its classification as a systemic hazard of the highest order. Repeated failures to reconcile its behaviour with coherent theoretical models only reinforce the imperative for rigorous caution.

Although some researchers maintain optimism that future inquiry may uncover the mechanisms governing its contradictory manifestations, present directives remain unequivocal: containment must supersede investigation. Absolute restriction of direct handling, combined with uncompromising adherence to protocol, represents the sole sustainable strategy. Until theoretical paradigms evolve sufficiently to contextualise its nature, The Warm must be regarded not only as a lethal threat to individual operatives but also as a destabilising force capable of undermining the structural integrity of the entire Hollow Reality Project archive.
