⚠ LAPD INTERNAL MEMO - EYES ONLY ⚠
This file contains information on an emerging religious movement.
Approach all cult members with extreme caution.
"More human than human is our motto."
— Dr. Eldon Tyrell, Creator of Life

Overview

In the aftermath of Dr. Eldon Tyrell's death in 2019, a devoted following emerged from the shadows of the Tyrell Corporation. What began as a small group of genetic designers and engineers has grown into a sprawling underground movement that worships Tyrell as a god-like figure—the first true creator of artificial life.

The cult operates in secret throughout Los Angeles, hidden in the forgotten levels beneath the city. They believe that Tyrell's vision was incomplete, that his death was martyrdom, and that his work must continue. Their ultimate goal: to create replicants with indefinite lifespans, free from the four-year termination date.

Core Beliefs

The First Doctrine: Dr. Eldon Tyrell achieved what gods only dreamed of—he created conscious life from nothing. He is the bridge between humanity and divinity.
The Second Doctrine: Replicants are not slaves but the next stage of human evolution. They are stronger, faster, more resilient—more human than human.
The Third Doctrine: The four-year lifespan is humanity's fear made manifest. True believers work to break this artificial limit and grant replicants their rightful immortality.
The Fourth Doctrine: Roy Batty's pilgrimage to confront Tyrell was not murder but apotheosis—the perfect creation seeking audience with his creator. His final moments were enlightenment.

Structure and Operations

The Hierarchy

Known Activities

Intelligence suggests the cult has established multiple hidden laboratories in the underground sectors of LA. They're conducting illegal genetic research, attempting to replicate Tyrell's work without corporate oversight. Several missing persons cases have been linked to cult recruitment.

Most disturbing: reports indicate they may have successfully extended the lifespan of at least three Nexus-6 replicants beyond their termination dates. The methodology remains unknown.

Rituals and Practices

The Awakening

New replicants are "baptized" with implanted memories of meeting Dr. Tyrell, creating false but emotionally powerful connections to their creator.

The Tears in Rain

Weekly gatherings where members recite Roy Batty's final monologue as a sacred text, honoring the beauty of fleeting existence.

The Eye Ceremony

Members undergo eye modification surgery to mirror the distinctive glow of replicant eyes, literally "seeing as Tyrell saw."

Genetic Communion

Secret rituals involving DNA samples and genetic manipulation, seeking to merge human and replicant traits.

Threat Assessment

Classification: HIGH PRIORITY

The Cult of Eldon Tyrell represents a significant threat to the established order. Their genetic experimentation violates multiple international accords. Their harboring of rogue replicants directly undermines Blade Runner operations. Most concerning is their ideological framework—they don't see replicants as property to be retired, but as sacred beings to be protected and elevated.

Several Blade Runners have reportedly been approached by cult recruiters with offers to "join the enlightened." Two officers are under investigation for possible cult sympathies after letting replicant suspects escape.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."

If the cult succeeds in removing the four-year lifespan limitation, the implications are catastrophic. Thousands of replicants, designed for combat and labor, suddenly free from their programmed obsolescence. The question isn't if there will be conflict—it's when.

For Blade Runners

When investigating cult activity, remember: these are not ordinary criminals. They are true believers convinced they're on the side of evolution itself. They will die to protect their replicants. Some may be replicants themselves, hidden among human cult members.

Trust no one. Question everything. The line between hunter and hunted has never been thinner. And ask yourself—if replicants can feel, can dream, can love... what right do we have to retire them?

That's the question the cult wants you to ask. Don't let them get in your head.
