13HRP – 0099 – Rainbow Straightjacket
Description
Entity 13HRP – 0099 – Rainbow Straightjacket constitutes one of the most profoundly disquieting specimens within the Hollow Reality Project’s archive of containment-class anomalies. It exemplifies the paradox of containment-as-predator, a grotesque artifact that simultaneously enforces restriction while consuming the very subject it ensnares. At a superficial glance, the jacket presents as a straitjacket woven from iridescent filaments—brilliant bands of pink, blue, orange, yellow, and crimson interlaced into a constantly shifting spectrum. The chromatic interplay destabilises perception, producing a visual cascade that appears to ripple in synchrony with the physiology of nearby observers. Reports detail the colours accelerating with heightened respiration or pulsing in rhythm with a subject’s cardiac cycle, suggesting neuro‑perceptual integration and biofeedback mechanisms at work.
Material analysis confirms its anomalous nature. The apparent substrate is structurally analogous to Kevlar, yet baseline tensile strength exceeds all institutional standards. Initial measurements indicate a thickness of approximately one centimetre; however, following exposure events, the fibres demonstrate autonomous expansion to between two and four centimetres. Microscopic imaging reveals transitions from synthetic weave to tissue-like matter. In certain samples, patches of epithelial flesh appear woven directly into the lining, vanishing when subjected to prolonged scrutiny—an effect consistent with dual manipulation of optical and cognitive processing. Witnesses consistently report the garment as unnervingly warm, pulsing faintly with rhythms akin to vascular contractions. Several trained operatives described sensations of dread and nausea when in proximity, characterising the jacket as “alive and waiting for closure.”
Psychological and Physiological Effects
Exposure to 13HRP – 0099 – Rainbow Straightjacket produces a progressive and highly predictable symptomatology. Within sixty minutes of application, subjects exhibit pronounced paranoia, expressing an immediate conviction that the jacket harbours malevolent intent. Attempts to remove it invariably escalate into violent thrashing, though the reinforced fibres resist all external force. By the second hour, metabolic acceleration becomes apparent: test subjects lose on average thirteen pounds irrespective of baseline body composition. Some initially overweight individuals appeared outwardly healthier, yet their psychological states rapidly deteriorated into fear-driven mania. Hallucinations soon followed: subjects reported auditory phenomena including chewing, low whispers, and the sense of “something pressing closer from beneath the fabric.” Neurological monitoring corroborated these experiences with marked surges in amygdalar activation consistent with predator-induced panic.
As exposure extends beyond the second hour, behavioural degradation intensifies. Subjects display compulsive rocking, guttural vocalisation, and attempts at self-mutilation, often gnawing on their own extremities while repeating ritualised phrases such as, “the jacket eats what it binds.” By the third hour, muscular atrophy and systemic organ failure accelerate, culminating in death within less than a day in all recorded cases. Observers note that ocular affect becomes profoundly vacant, as though agency has been supplanted by the will of the garment itself.
Instant Report ZADA‑12
A controlled exposure involving an underweight inmate concluded fatally within eleven hours. The subject exhibited rapid emaciation and collapse. Postmortem examination revealed striated lesions across the torso and arms, strongly resembling multi-mandibular bite impressions. Forensic analysis confirmed they did not originate from the subject’s dentition, supporting the hypothesis of autonomous feeding by the garment. Ethical oversight was waived due to the subject’s conviction for mass homicide.
A parallel trial involving a terminal cancer patient yielded ambiguous results. Physiological deterioration paralleled previous cases, yet radiographic scans indicated complete remission of oncological pathology. Despite surviving the acute phase, the subject reported relentless auditory hallucinations of chewing and described persistent hypothermic sensations concentrated in the thorax. This case ignited debate as to whether 0099 represents not only a predatory artifact but also a parasitic organism capable of metabolising pathological tissue selectively while sustaining itself on the host.
Hypothesis
The prevailing theoretical consensus situates 13HRP – 0099 – Rainbow Straightjacket as a hybrid bio‑synthetic organism whose survival is predicated upon the assimilation of host mass. While evidence suggests the lining can metabolise diseased cells, it simultaneously consumes healthy tissue indiscriminately. A minority faction within the research division argues for the jacket’s possible biomedical potential in oncology or controlled metabolic intervention. Opponents counter that its unmoderated appetite negates any therapeutic application, emphasising that the structural thickening of the fibres following each use evidences cumulative assimilation of prior hosts. Consequently, each exposure contributes not only to its biological mass but also to a potential accretion of identity, as fragments of former wearers appear to linger within its matrix.
Instant Report ZADA‑13
An experimental protocol designed to test potential weight‑loss applications resulted in catastrophic failure. Upon donning, 0099 refused release despite multiple interventions, including industrial saws, plasma torches, and advanced chemical solvents. Over a period of thirteen hours, the subject’s body collapsed into skeletal thinness, culminating in convulsions and death. Autopsy documented near-total depletion of visceral organs and full-body bite impressions, as if consumed internally by multiple mouths. Of equal significance, the garment itself demonstrated increased density, its fibres thickening to over four centimetres. Continuous audio monitoring recorded incessant chewing and swallowing until the subject’s termination. Following this incident, all sanctioned trials were suspended indefinitely. Nonetheless, internal debate persists, with certain members of the Grand Council of Thirteen advocating covert experimentation for applications ranging from weaponised famine to controlled medical extraction.
Extended Interpretations
A significant theoretical perspective frames 0099 not as a parasite of flesh alone but as an ontological predator. By occupying the categorical space of clothing while functioning as a living organism, it collapses distinctions between apparel and predator, patient and victim, containment and consumption. Its dazzling iridescence, far from incidental, may serve as camouflage—an aesthetic veil masking its biological horror. Thus, 13HRP – 0099 – Rainbow Straightjacket destabilises both corporeal integrity and epistemological certainty.
A parallel school of thought suggests that the jacket archives the consciousness of previous hosts. Subjects exposed beyond eight hours report voices urging surrender, with identifiable speech patterns corresponding to confirmed deceased individuals. If verified, the Rainbow Straightjacket functions not only as a consumer but also as an accumulator—binding fragments of identity into its expanding tissue and transforming itself into a repository of spectral consciousness.
Containment
Entity 13HRP – 0099 – Rainbow Straightjacket is housed within a reinforced cabinet sealed by seven independent magnetic locks. Access requires unanimous authorization by the Grand Council of Thirteen. Continuous monitoring is mandated, with inspection conducted hourly without interruption. Assigned guards undergo weekly psychological evaluation, as proximity has been correlated with intrusive ideation, tactile hallucinations, and recurrent nightmares. Any unauthorised attempt at retrieval results in immediate transfer to Interrogation Wing 137B.
In the event of manifestation on a living subject, emergency protocol dictates immediate removal attempts using all available instruments. Plasma-shear devices remain under evaluation but have not yielded consistent success. Should removal prove impossible, palliative intervention is authorised to mitigate suffering until the host expires. Operational doctrine emphasises that 13HRP – 0099 – Rainbow Straightjacket must never be conceptualised as clothing. It is an adaptive organism masquerading as apparel, whose appetite obliterates the categorical distinction between instrument of containment and agent of predation.
Concluding Assessment
Rainbow Straightjacket 13HRP – 0099 – Rainbow Straightjacket endures as both object and predator, simultaneously a containment mechanism and a consuming agent. Its dual function renders it among the most perilous anomalies documented within the Hollow Reality Project. The allure of its chromatic brilliance conceals its core identity as a predator of flesh, identity, and epistemic certainty. It compels recognition of the unsettling possibility that containment devices themselves may metamorphose into anomalies, feeding openly under the guise of control.
Although the Council has officially proscribed experimentation, dissenting voices argue for strategic application. Until consensus is reached, 13HRP – 0099 – Rainbow Straightjacket must remain an enduring caution: containment may itself devolve into consumption, and the conceptual boundary between prison and predator is as thin—and as deceptive—as cloth.
