GROUP NAME: REF ID:
Carroll Institute CI-GRP-00001
HEAD:
[REDACTED]
PURPOSE (STATED):
Investigation of Psychic Phenomena
Cultivation of United States Psionic Assets
Security of United States from Psionic Threats
PURPOSE (ACTUAL):
[REDACTED]
OVERVIEW:
The Carroll Institute was founded in 2024, following the event commonly known as the Advent of Psionic Potential. Originally formed as a task group subdivision of the United States [REDACTED], the Carroll Institute expanded and grew as knowledge of both the potential and threat of psionic elements expanded. Following the decommissioning of [REDACTED] at Site 11, colloquially known as the Idaho National Laboratory, the Carroll Institute splintered off, forming the organization proper within the depths of the former INL.
The Carroll Institute regularly invites individuals with psionic potential to study and cultivate their newfound talents at the Institute Campus. Researchers monitor and advise the individuals, running experiments alongside their training. Methods of blocking and avoiding influence are primary goals of the invitational program, along with cultivation of talents useful to the United States government.
Following the discovery of the phenomena known as Artifacts in 20██, the Carroll Institute formed the Anomalous Material Research Division. AMRD maintains the goal of containment and study of Artifacts. [REDACTED]

The Carroll Institute is supported by reliable computer technology, with research breaking grounds in the subjects of artificial intelligence and biological [REDACTED].

GROUP NAME: REF ID:
Tartarus CI-GRP-04039
HEAD:
Id (Suspected)
PURPOSE (STATED):
Containment of humanity-threatening ‘entities’
PURPOSE (ACTUAL):
Unknown
OVERVIEW:
Tartarus first came to the attention of the Carroll Institute during CI-INC-50112-h, though remained unnamed until CI-INC-601454. Apparently led by the enigmatic individual known as Id (see CI-POI-58141), Tartarus’ primary goals remain unknown—though they may not always act in opposition to CI.
Caution is advised should they be encountered in the field. Tartarus possesses advanced technology on par with the Carroll Institute, knowledge of psionic elements—including artifacts—and the possible presence of entities.
Given the nature and technology displayed in field operations, it is speculated that the subject of entities is their primary focus as an organization. Entities (see CI-REC-30809-Sub-a), appear to be a manifestation of psionic energy in a physical form. Entities are the subject of ongoing research.
Much of Tartarus is currently unknown, including but not limited to total personnel, active operations, methodology, date founded, and mission statement. Tartarus is considered an active interest of the Carroll Institute. Any information pertaining to Tartarus should be immediately submitted to Beatrice for catalog and analysis.

Administrative Council
HEAD:
N/A
PURPOSE (STATED):
Administration of the Carroll Institute
Cultivation of United States Psionic Assets
Investigation of Psychic Phenomena
Security of United States from Psionic Threats
PURPOSE (ACTUAL):
[REDACTED]
OVERVIEW:
The Carroll Institute formed as a task group of the United States [REDACTED] following the event commonly known as the Advent of Psionic Potential. As the division expanded and the true threat of individuals wielding psychic phenomena became known, it was determined that a single, easily compromised head of the organization was ill-advised.
The Administrative Council formed in response. Thirteen individuals of varying backgrounds comprise the council. Their personal backgrounds are unmentioned; their relations are kept secret; their names are assigned. They are stationed across the United States. Protocol dictates that no more than three may meet in person at once. There exists no single leader of the Administrative Council. Hundreds of other protocols exist to keep them outside psionic influence and ensure the sanctity of operations carried out by the Carroll Institute.
As the activities of the Carroll Institute expanded beyond mere research into psychic phenomena and into the realm of artifacts, the administration’s efforts with the Anomalous Material Research Division [REDACTED]. [REDACTED] attacked and forced the creation of [REDACTED].
Administrators [REDACTED] were compromised in the aftermath (see incident report ████-x). Following AMPUTATION Protocol vote success (11:13), the compromised administrators were CAUTERIZED and EXPUNGED. Since then, no significant compromise incident has been detected.
Administrators are required to submit to MIDNIGHT Protocol every 504 hours. Failure to comply within 6 hours will result in an immediate AMPUTATION Protocol vote.

Ignotus-33 CI-GRP-04151
(Temporary name)
HEAD:
Unknown
PURPOSE (STATED):
Unknown
PURPOSE (ACTUAL):
Assassination of Dyna Graves (CI-POI-50112)
OVERVIEW:
Unknown hostile organization. Unknown leader. Unknown organizational structure. No meaningful communication has been made. Captured operatives are tulpa with little information about the organization. Operatives are sent into combat situations with orders delivered by radio.
Tulpa associated with Ignotus-33 are typically armed with PP-2000 submachine guns and full body armor. They are considered hostile and extremely dangerous to all Carroll Institute personnel.

GROUP NAME: REF ID:
Tulpa CI-TLP-00001
HEAD:
N/A
PURPOSE (STATED):
N/A
PURPOSE (ACTUAL):
N/A
OVERVIEW:
Taken from the Vajrayana concept of the emanation body, tulpa (or thoughtforms) are beings from an alternate layer of reality. All humans, whether they display psychic abilities or not, emanate thoughts, shedding them into the noosphere (see CI-ARG-00012). It is a constant and unconscious action, which causes no harm to the emanating subject.
In the vast majority of instances, such shed thoughts are little more than wisps of insubstantial psionic waveforms. From interviews with November (see CI-POI-63211), shed thoughts typically represent single and simple desires, intentions, or trivial knowledge. It is when these thoughts begin to merge together that a tulpa begins to form, gaining complexity and awareness.
At a certain point, after enough of these integrations, tulpa can gain human-level sapience. However, nothing stops the tulpa from continuing to integrate with one another beyond this point. It is thought that entities such as the Hatman (see CI-TLP-00002) come from a mass amount of human-level integrations. Studies ongoing.
