Origin[edit | edit source]

Alvin C. Graves was an atomic physicist who directed the nuclear weapons testing for the United States, leading most of the Nevada Test Site experiments as well as the Marshall Island tests. Probably one of the most famous nuclear tests, Castle Bravo, was performed on Bikini Atoll, only 120 kilometers from Rongelap Atoll's northern shore. Inhabitants of Rongelap were obviously exposed to the nuclear radiation, which caused leukemia, cancer, and jellyfish babies, among other things. Attempts to clean up the blast site are still questionably successful.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The tie transmits nuclear radiation, which causes effects similar to what happened at Rongelap Atoll, notably headaches and loss of pigmentation in the skin. Wearing the tie will also cause the user to become temporarily sterile and permanantly blind.

Collection[edit | edit source]

Collected by Scalec, Garr9988, and Arthur Neilson in Crackerjack, Oklahoma when there were reports of people at a bank losing skin pigmentation and becoming transluscent, as well as complaining of migraines.

Artie's report was: "People are complaining of migraines all through Crackerjack, Oklahoma, with the local bank being ground zero for the effects. All of the employees are suffering from increased headaches as well as losing skin tone and becoming translucent."
