Pre-Colonial Era – Oral Traditions: Indigenous folklore in the American Southwest (notably in the Four Corners region) references entities that consume human thoughts and memories after eating “cursed flesh.” These accounts align with the behavior of PO-A0058 and suggest a long-standing presence predating European settlement.
20th Century – Sporadic Outbreaks: Isolated, undocumented cases of unexplained neurological degradation and personality persistence begin surfacing in rural communities, later reinterpreted as early PO-A0058 infections.
November 22, 1963 – Dallas, Texas: Assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Post-investigation reveals Kennedy was a PO-A0058-1 specimen.
1963–1964 – U.S. Agencies’ Response: FBI and CIA jointly conclude that termination was necessary to prevent large-scale contamination. Classified findings are escalated to the United Nations.
1964 – UN Resolution: Establishment of the Special Eradication Executive (SEE), with the explicit mandate to hunt and eliminate PO-A0058-1 specimens worldwide.
Institutional Shift: SEE operations uncover additional anomalous objects unrelated to PO-A0058, forcing an expansion of scope.
Reorganization: SEE formally evolves into the Paranormal Objects Capture Command (POCC), tasked with global identification, capture, and containment of all Paranormal Objects.
Vector: Human consumption of flesh from PO-A0058-1 hosts. Primary risk factor is undercooked or raw meat.
Viability: Juvenile organisms can bypass digestion and the immune system in rare but catastrophic instances, leading to cerebral colonization.
Symptoms: Extended incubation period (~60 days) conceals infection. Host retains full cognitive and behavioral mimicry until final stage.
Risks:
The Kennedy assassination and subsequent discovery of PO-A0058’s infiltration at the highest level of government confirmed the species’ catastrophic potential if left unchecked. Although immediate containment was successful, the event underscored the necessity of a permanent international body.
What began as a targeted eradication mandate under SEE evolved into the foundation of POCC itself. PO-A0058 remains one of the defining catalysts in shaping global Paranormal Object policy: an object class not only biologically invasive, but politically destabilizing. Ongoing vigilance and eradication protocols remain mandatory.
