Item #: EA-074
Object Class: Cataclysmic
Name: The Coreborn
Containment: EA-074 cannot be contained by conventional means due to its position within the Earth's inner core. Instead, constant monitoring of EA-074's activity is conducted from both Outpost Alpha and Outpost Rho, utilising deep-penetration seismic imaging, ultra-thermal resonance sensors, and quantum-density modelling to track its ongoing growth. Monitoring is to be carried out in alternating 6-hour shifts by approved senior personnel only. Access to data, visual recordings, and raw analytics regarding EA-074 requires Level 8 clearance or higher at both sites. Under no circumstances are any remote-drill, kinetic, or thermonuclear probing experiments to be conducted on EA-074 without unanimous approval from the Global Oversight Directive.
Profile: EA-074 is an orb-like structure located approximately 6,300 kilometres beneath the Earth's surface, embedded directly within the inner core. Composed of a blindingly radiant, unidentified material designated [REDACTED], EA-074 emits constant heat levels measured between 7,000°C and [REDACTED]°C, without suffering degradation. The material is theorized to exist in a state beyond conventional matter, possibly pre-atomic or quasi-dimensional in composition. Despite its intense luminosity and thermal output, EA-074 does not affect the surrounding core materials in any destabilising way—at least, not yet.
Within the orb lies EA-074-B, an embryo-like entity visually resembling a theropod dinosaur at an early gestational stage. EA-074-B is suspended in a clear, fluid medium and has demonstrated slow, measurable movement, including limb flexion, ocular twitching, and response to seismic activity. Neuro-imaging derived from resonance patterning implies the presence of synaptic growth and rudimentary awareness, though no direct communication has been established. EA-074-B continues to increase in mass and definition, suggesting a gestational progression toward an unknown form.
Between 1986 and 2025, the total diameter of EA-074 expanded by 15 meters—an unprecedented geological anomaly. Projections based on current growth rates predict a full merger between EA-074 and the Earth's core by the year [REDACTED]. Simulations show that once the entity reaches this critical mass, the orb is expected to fracture, releasing EA-074-B into the Earth's mantle. At this point, the creature is predicted to begin consuming the planet's internal layers from the inside out, leading to full planetary collapse and biosphere extinction.
No known method of preventing this scenario currently exists. Proposals involving planetary evacuation, core destabilisation, or remote stasis field projection remain theoretical and unfeasible with present-day technology. As such, EA-074 is classified under Cataclysmic protocol, with all further research focused on behavioural prediction, temporal delay strategies, and interstellar fallback options.
At this time, EA-074 remains dormant and has not responded to any external seismic triggers, solar events, or deep-earth electromagnetic fluctuations. However, its steady growth and the increasing neural activity of EA-074-B remain an ongoing existential concern for planetary preservation efforts.
