SUMMARY
[break]
NISA HOLO, known member of the DRK Triad, infiltrated the RKS Machine on 28 August 2023 during a routine simulation via Unown teleportation (and likely other means we do not yet understand). She attacked me and my companion at the time,
Isaac Merlo , with the intention of killing both of us. We managed to escape by convincing the Unown (Holo's Unown-K, my Unown, and all of the Rocket Unown) to aid us by re-writing reality. We were whisked away to the
UNOWN DIMENSION, through which Holo was not able to pursue us. Afterwards, the Unown delivered us safely to my office on the Rocket submarine.
Isaac Merlo parted from me shortly after, and I have not seen him since.[break][break]
INFORMATION GATHERED
[break]
ON THE SUBJECT OF HOLO'S MOTIVATION(S)
[break]
There are a few details from Holo's banter during our altercation with her that stand out to me:[break]
- Holo's first words to me were, "Oh good! It's you", which logically indicate that she had been looking for me ever since her temporary capture following the Meteno incident.
- Holo referred to Isaac Merlo as BLACKJACK, his (previous) Rocket codename. She also made a direct reference to the fact that she and the DRK Triad have tried to kill him across multiple realities. This, amongst other comments she made, CONFIRM that there are indeed multiple versions of at least some humans (such as Isaac and myself, as well as others who have since become AVATARS) across realities in the same way there seem to be copies of legendary Pokémon, Arceus included.
- Holo indicated that in every other reality in which the DRK Triad successfully killed Isaac, he was an AVATAR with the title THE PURIFIER. It shocked her to see that he was powerless (so far) on the ORIGIN POINT, which only further convinced her to eliminate him before he could gain such power.
- She once again made reference to the fact that AVATARSHIP makes one "responsible for the ORIGIN POINT", meaning, the phenomenon is an anomoly that is, supposedly, expediting the doom that supposedly awaits us.
- Holo said (exact words), "my job is to ensure that Arceus is blind to your faces. If you [me] become the Architect and you [Isaac], the Purifier, the more at risk we are". This leads me to believe that AVATARSHIP not only grants power based on the patronage of the specific legendary Pokémon with which a person has bonded, but also makes a person "more visible to Arceus" - whatever that means. Holo seems to believe this to be a bad thing.
- Holo believes our world to be beyond saving; her efforts now are to mitigate damages.
[break][break]
All of the above leads me to the following conclusion: Holo's
PRIMARY motivation for infiltrating the RKS Machine was to
STOP the ascension of a new
AVATAR: me (as The Architect, Avatar of the Unown). Upon finding
Isaac Merlo with me, she realized it could be a two-for-one deal, and that she could also eliminate him prior to his own predestined ascension as The Purifier. Because I made no secret of my
own hunt for Holo post-Meteno, surely she only showed her face now because she recognized that I was close to achieving
AVATARSHIP (something I, myself, was not aware of).[break][break]
Some key questions still remain:[break]
- Are there copies of all of our world's citizenry across all realities, or just AVATARS?
- How did Holo actually enter the RKS Machine? Were Unown the only factor? And how did she trap us within it? Can the other DRK Triad members do this, and are we now all at risk every time we enter the machine, of being imprisoned there by our enemy?
- What damages do the DRK Traid believe will be mitigated by killing the ORIGIN POINT'S AVATARS, even if we cannot avoid the apocalypse?
- What happens if Arceus notices us...?
- Where is Arceus and how can we find it? Is the RKS Machine really the answer...?

ON THE SUBJECT OF KALLISTATUS
[break]
KALLISTATUS is an Unown-K that used to belong to Holo, but I won its allegiance during our altercation in the RKS Machine. This Unown seems to be
especially attached to me now. After we arrived back at the Rocket submarine, I noticed that it had become
SHINY. Perhaps that was in response to the next subject I will cover in this report: my
AVATARSHIP.[break][break]
ON THE SUBJECT OF UNOWN AVATARSHIP
[break]
In order to escape Holo, leave the RKS Machine, and return myself and
Isaac Merlo to the Rocket submarine, I petitioned the Unown for help. I have spent the last year learning about them, earning their trust, and coming to love them. I care deeply for them, and I believe they were finally able to recognize that fact: for you see, they
are sentient, unique personalities - each and every one of them - and are not, therefore, mindless cogs in the so-called "cosmological wheel" of the universe. They are also not controlled by Arceus, as far as I can tell, though I do believe they have a deep connection to it. They were Arceus's first creations, after all.[break][break]
My Unown alone were not enough to open up an "escape hatch" out of the Holo-controlled RKS Machine, so I had to call for reinforcements. With the help of Kallistatus and
all of Rocket's Unown (our entire set bypassed whatever "trap" Holo had created), we were able to be teleported to the
UNOWN DIMENSION, thereby escaping Holo. It was...a profoundly transformational experience, and the
UNOWN DIMENSION is beyond beautiful. I can barely find the words to explain or describe it. I'm not so sure it
can be explained or described in words. One must see it, in order to understand.[break][break]
Inside of the
UNOWN DIMENSION, I was gifted a vision by the Unown. They showed me the beginning of all creation, the moment when Arceus manifested reality as we know it. The Unown were the first living beings that Arceus created, their purpose to be a bridge between it and everything else it would then create: plant-life, humanity, Pokémon,
everything. The Unown are the translators of Arceus's will, the language of the universe; they, alone, have the capacity to communicate with everyone in every version of the universe.[break][break]
And so it was that they communicated directly with
me. They said that I was worthy of being their
AVATAR. They...changed me. At first, I was extremely disoriented - ill, even. I have since recovered somewhat from...the ordeal of my transformation, but I still do not fully understand everything I can do. In the coming days, I will test my abilities...try and learn everything I can about them. For now, I am aware that I can:[break]
- See through the eyes of the Unown. Sometimes it happens randomly, sometimes I am able to choose when to do it. When it happens, my eyes go white - like the eyes of the Unown. I believe, once fully under my control, this ability will allow me to use any of my Unown as SENSORY FAMILIARS a.k.a SPIES.
- I can now TELEPORT anywhere I would like to go. I believe this only extends to places I have been to at least once, but I will continue to test it.
- I believe it may be possible for me to return to the UNOWN DIMENSION - though for how long and under what circumstances, I am still working that out.
[break][break]
It also seems as if the entire set of Rocket Unown have
pledged themselves to me. I am afraid they will not listen to or trust anyone else in Rocket, so you will have to forgive me for essentially fully taking over this particular Rocket resource. I plan to work with them for our benefit, of course.[break][break]
I have a suspicion that with practice, I might be able to...alter reality. This is something the Unown themselves are able to do when they work together, and my connection with them now leads me to believe that I am
one of them, and therefore able to benefit from this particular ability. I will report back once further tests have been conducted.[break][break]
The Unown refer to me as
THE VISIONARY. Holo seemed to think "The Architect" would be the title bestowed upon me should I achieve
AVATARSHIP, but she was proven wrong. I do not yet know what this means, but I can tell you that it feels...
right.[break][break]
ON THE SUBJECT OF Isaac Merlo'S DEFECTION
[break]
Finally...it has come to my very recent attention that
Isaac Merlo has defected from Rocket. I must urge us to pursue him with great caution.[break][break]
For one, I do not believe he is an
immediate threat to us, despite his narrow escape from the clutches of Underboss
Cillian Quinn. Please trust me when I say that he was never the sort of man to betray anyone lightly. And for another...I believe there is some greater power protecting him. Holo expected him to be an
AVATAR, after all, and despite the risks of trusting the DRK Triad, I trust her on this.[break][break]
Please allow me to aid in the search for him by using my newly acquired abilities. I can send the Unown after him, have them act as spies on our behalf. It would do us some good, I think, to find out what, exactly, he hopes to accomplish as we work towards an inevitable retribution.[break][break]
