0. Introduction
This document is a comprehensive investigation report on Yog-Sothoth, including observation records, threat evaluation, existence form, weaknesses, cultural sightings, and contact methods. The subject is considered a cosmic-scale hazard and is designated as Top Secret.
1. Overview
- Name: Yog-Sothoth
- Classification: Outer God
- Nature: Known as “The Gate and the Key,” “All-in-One and One-in-All,” transcending time and space.
2. Observation Records
- Location: Outside of time and space, in dimensional interstices.
- Status: Constant manifestation, omnipresent across all time-space.
- Appearance: Depicted as a conglomeration of countless luminous spheres and eyes.
- Mental Effect: Contact leads to loss of temporal perception and collapse of causal order.
3. Divine Classification
- One of the Outer Gods.
- Positioned genealogically as the grandchild of Azathoth.
- Referred to in myth as “The Gate,” “The Key,” and “The Dweller on the Threshold.”
4. Threat Evaluation
Yog-Sothoth is identified with time-space itself. Summoning or contact results in collapse of causality. The threat level is classified at the highest tier.
5. Existence Form
- Activity: Constant manifestation, omnipresent across all time-space.
- Influence Range: Universal, encompassing the entire temporal axis.
- Behavior: Will or consciousness uncertain, but documented cases of responding to summoning.
- Relations: Influences the human world through rituals and summoning.
6. Weaknesses (Theoretical Considerations)
- Summoning Dependency: Requires human rituals as a medium for manifestation.
- Causality Dependency: Bound to time-space itself, rendering external control impossible.
7. Cultural Sightings
- The Dunwich Horror: Wilbur Whateley attempts summoning.
- Through the Gates of the Silver Key: Randolph Carter makes contact.
- Subsequent appearances documented across mythos literature.
8. Conclusion
Yog-Sothoth is the Gate and the Key, regulating the structure of the universe itself. Contact leads to collapse of civilization; research must remain fragmentary.
9. Countermeasures
- Containment or sealing is impossible.
- Prevention of rituals and summoning is the only defense.
- Contact is strictly prohibited.
10. Contact Precautions
- Visual contact prohibited.
- Ritual summoning prevention prioritized.
- Records must remain fragmentary.
11. Contact Methods
- Direct contact: Prohibited.
- Indirect contact: Only through rituals or summoning.
- Dreams/visions: Highly dangerous, not recommended.
Final Classification: Threat Level (General Hierarchy)
- Class IV: End-Class (Apocalyptic)
