Object 605

The Holder of Object 605

Information about this Holder is fragmentary at best. Unlike many (most) of the others, he (she) (it) is an enigma. The only fact that any of us is sure about is that this Holder exists, and still possesses an Object. For convenience's sake, We refer to it as Object 605.

The current means of access to his (hers) (its) domain is unknown. The only known previous access was through the bottom side of a skylight in any abandoned church at exactly seventeen minutes after the hour.

The only Seeker who attempted this has not returned. Subsequent attempts to replicate entry have demonstrated no unusual properties. It is generally believed that this Holder changes locations and methods of access frequently. Even if We did know, however, We would not tell you. We suspect he (she) (it) was previously a Seeker, and as such informing you would change his (her) (its) methods of entrance. Do your own research, and for the sake of your soul hope you can keep a secret.

Whatever you do, if you go to any halfway house or mental institution, no matter what country or city, do NOT ask to visit the Unknown Holder, Holder of the Forgotten, or Holder of Object #605. Although the clerk will show no reaction outside the ordinary, you have endangered yourself needlessly. As soon as you turn back, he will try to stab you to death with the nearest sharp implement.

Extensive research by a (regrettably) previous possessor of the Badge of Observation indicates no clerk has any knowledge relevant to our search. Even those who were her allies remained murderous.

We will be grateful to anyone who offers Us more information about this Holder (Seeker?) (Keeper?) (Object?). We have very little reliable intelligence, and are willing to allow certain considerations for those willing to assist us.

Whatever trials you will need to overcome include something involving mirrors. Our research is ongoing.

Assuming you manage to pass whatever other obstacles he (she) (it) puts in your way, We might be of assistance for the final hurdle.

The inner sanctum of his (her) (its) domain, according to legend, Apocrypha, and various means We are not willing to disclose, is a Mercury-like planet. The endless desert is filled with millions of metallic boxes. Each of these is camouflaged to blend in with the environment, and has only a single detail distinct from all of the others. The alloy composing them is one with which We are unfamiliar - it obviously exceeds tungsten in temperature resistance, but all other details are under investigation.

The entire box is a single unit, with no hinges, cracks, or creases. The second layer appears to be some extremely corrosive substance (acidic?), and the third layer is most likely an iridescent blue in color. There are at least five of these - most likely more.

Object number 605 might be inside one of these vaults. Some will do anything to keep Them apart.
