R-4114

Relic # : R-4114

Safety class : Γ (there's a dangerous message which has to be postponed)

Usage class : Communication

 Physical description:  A gray brick phone with no brand name or identification. In lieu of the "star" key there is a key with a left arrow.

Anomalous properties: Once a message is made in the message interface (the only software accessible, aside from notifications and checking past messages) and the left arrow key is pressed, R-4114 will send a message to itself backwards in time.

Communication is one-way. Any message sent will be received a random amount of time before it was sent and its existence will be "etched" into causality, which can cause retroactive changes. There is no known way to predict when a message will be received.

If a subject trying to operate R-4114 is blocked from accessing it by physical barriers, the subject will become anomalously strong without changing appearance and lose this strength once they destroy this barrier. Containing the item in an isolation chest if a message is due is much more dangerous, as a host of anomalies will appear in R-4114's general vicinity.

Approximately 100 messages have been made using R-4114, however one still hasn't been sent. This message is a distress call for a restructuring of reality and seems to have been sent from Researcher [REDACTED]. Note that this number is unassigned.

As this message has been sent from a Researcher and all messages transmitted through R-4114 must be sent at some point, the continued existence of our current reality is guaranteed until at least the time that this message is transmitted. The safety notes have been written so that its transmission can be postponed.

 Special safety notes : R-4114 is to remain in its isolation chest at all times. Those showing increased interest in its usage are to be stopped by any means.

 History : R-4114 was first discovered when a customer of a repair shop was having issues with R-4114's message system. The customer tore down the repair shop's building after showing obsession with R-4114 and trying to obtain it at all costs. A front detective team was created by the Hunters to obtain R-4114 afterwards.

 Notable events : In a test, R-4114 was publicized as the first model of a famous electronics company. When it was time to send a message, R-4114 was locked in the vaults of [REDACTED] Museum. After more publicty, the electronics company was retroactively made to have a cult following with collectors, which led to the sending of Message #32 by a phone collector. R-4114 was handed to the Hunters afterwards
