Unit R-01 — Rust Removal Artifact

Industrial Memory

Smoked Cedar Core
Dense, resin-rich timber.
Warm, grounding, slightly charred at the edges.
Structured like an old maintenance bay support beam—solid, dependable, quietly enduring.

Cold Metal Ozone
A sharp, clean metallic hum.
Electric, faintly ionized, like steel cooling after overclock.
Evokes the controlled sterility of pre-Event engineering floors.

Bergamot Shard
A fractured micro-dose of brightness.
Citrus volatility distilled to its most essential flash.
Used in early R-Series prototypes for cognitive alignment during decontamination rituals.

Black Spruce Resin
Dark, coniferous, mineral.
A “forest memory” note—something organic preserved unnaturally within industrial confines.
Feels like the ghost of nature inside a machine.

Oxide Trace (Sub-Element)
Dry, metallic particulate.
A subtle whisper of rust dust suspended in cold air.
Included not for scent, but for emotional context — an olfactory reminder of deteriorating infrastructure.

Combined Atmosphere
The resulting profile is clean, metallic, and faintly ceremonial—a grounding, steel-blue scent that evokes the moment you step into a maintenance bay minutes before alarms begin their cycle.
Industrial. Controlled.
A quiet exhale before the world shifts.

Field Notes
Early test groups reported:

• 94% reduction in visible rust residue
• No irritation events across standard epidermal profiles
• Noticeable decrease in existential compression during use
• Mild but measurable increases in functional optimism

R-01 is cold-processed from the Artifact Base Matrix, a stabilized sequence of olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, avocado oil, and castor oil.
This matrix produces a dense, weight-optimized bar with a creamy, controlled-lather profile, engineered for extended lifecycle and structural resilience.

• No parabens
• No phthalates
• No synthetic dystopia
• Just the essential compounds for survival-grade hygiene

Issued in restricted quantities.
Approved for immediate civilian use.
Handle with ritual discipline.

Ingredients (Compliance Format)
Olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, avocado oil, castor oil, distilled water, sodium hydroxide (lye), sodium lactate, kaolin clay, fragrance oil, mica/colorant.

Each Artifact Includes

Standard Issue Components for Civilian Deployment

Field Guide Card (FG-1)
A cardstock instruction brief detailing handling protocols, activation sequence, and recommended civilian-use rituals. Printed with batch provenance and Artifact Lab identifiers.

Declassified Memo (DM-1)
A sealed micro-document recovered from the Artifact Lab archives. Contains series-specific notes, anomaly reports, or sensory reconstruction logs. Each memo is unique to its fabrication cycle.

Wax-Sealed Wrapping
Your artifact arrives hand-wrapped in archival-grade paper and secured with an official Artifact Lab wax seal — a verification mark used during controlled distribution cycles.

Embossed Artifact Face
Each bar carries a Dysoapian Futures insignia or unit designation directly cast into its surface, confirming its origin, authenticity, and placement within the series continuum.

Batch Provenance Stamp
All artifacts ship with cycle-specific provenance markings, documenting the month and year of fabrication.

This ensures traceability, clarity of cure age, and collectible value.
