Daily Report #200

The target was Gershwin May. Despite her prominence amongst the law and school community, extraction was supposed to be procedural and swift – many political figures alike have suffered a similar fate in the past and this should not have been any more difficult.

Extraction, however, proved difficult. Orders were given to exercise extreme caution, with our intelligence officers warning of avoiding direct confrontation at all costs and “making sure we do not injure her.”

Tranquilizer darts, heavy nets, and smokescreen grenades were prepared for the objective. Our sniper had secured a high-ground spot to fire the tranquilizer dart. It was due to force majeure – a shift in clouds letting the sunlight reflect from the sniper rifle’s lens – that the target was able to move away. The dart grazed her arm: the worst case scenario had come to be.

We incurred severe public property and personal and tactical equipment damage. Many ground team soldiers were injured, and there were 12 casualties – 5 of which were pedestrians.

Analysis Report – Subject 29(1)

Huge progress will be made now with the successful capture of Gershwin May.

Our previous 28 subjects are all deceased. Our research methods have always been for the sake of progress and our goal was always to understand these… higher beings. Because of their endowment we were never going to be certain what their limits were, how much we can exert, how much we can really find out about them.

Now with Gershwin… we may finally unlock the secret to these beings.

The only reason we were given this opportunity was because of the limits of the Subject’s condition:

We were fearful that the tranquilizer dart was going to work in the first place. It was in fact serendipitous that the sniper had missed – I am never going to complain about cloudy days ever again. Field reports showed that upon the ground team entering Gershwin’s room, a faint red glow emanated from where the dart had grazed her.

She literally clawed her way through the heavy nets fired at her. Weapons went live and she was absolutely riddled with bullet-holes and she went down. However, as extrapolated from the soldiers’ radio-logs, she got back up ‘like a fucking zombie, man.’ It was after she had evaded (‘fought her way through’ cannot describe the unspeakable damage she did) the ground-team, running ‘like fucking Usain Bolt’ into the forest that Air recon found her, collapsed, unconscious, and the wounds she had sustained that would have killed 20 humans over had healed dramatically.

The reported damage and casualties prove one hypothesis: that Gershwin May is empowered by her wounds – perhaps through her pain. Projections predict her enhanced strength allowed her to lift 25 tons, run at 80 kilometres per hour. After a period of ‘Craze’, she settles down into unconsciousness to rest and heal. The faint red glow is linked to how her wounds do not kill her immediately and miraculously imbues her with abilities.

Further research is required. She is now held in constraints so strict and tough, it would give Houdini a run for his money. Any pain whatsoever must be prevented, but pain has to be administered to study her. This will prove difficult.

But science will prevail.

Daily Report #201

They say nothing good happens after two am. They say that shadows are powerful after 2am, where a majority of the population is asleep. It was thought that the target, Cody O'Niel would be one of them, and unprepared for our capture. This assumption proved incorrect, as the subject, alerted by the crash of a agent stumbling over a dog.

In previous statements, it has been said that the subject does have extra ordinary senses, however it was thought that they were no more then any one who has inadequate sight. This assumption proved to be wrong, as even the small noise of our breathing seemed to alert the subject to our presence, proving once more how valuable this subject may be.

Extraction therefore proved difficult. Even slight movement seemed to cause the subject to react, and the problem of the puppy proved even more problematic. The subject appeared to know where an attempt to capture him was coming from, and his eyes seemed to glow, unnerving the agents sent to capture him.

Injuries are thought to be minimal, even as the subject lashed out, and fought for escape. Despite his rage, the worst injury suffered was a broken harm, and the damage to property was insignificant. In the end, the subject was taken in as capture was finally conducted.

Subject transferred to secure facility.

The capture of Cody O'Niel will, undoubtedly, bring about huge progress in senses. All previous subjects have proven to be insignificant in this area. What will the subject limits be? How far can the subject hear? What are the limits to his abilities, the strengths and weaknesses? All these questions, their answers could give has an incredible insight into these higher beings.

It is clear that capture was only effective because the subject does not know his own abilities. Is this because he hasn't had a chance, or because he hasn't sought to develop them? Either way, we will be testing him beyond his limits, to seek out just what he can do. The lack of damage to people and structures proves that perhaps the subject's abilities are not dangerous, but rather his heightened senses prove him more dangerous. The subject appears to noticing even the slightest of sounds, and seems to suffer at the touch of even the slightest rough material.

The subject appears aware of where personal are, staring at individuals until something else catches his attention. His eyes glow from time to time. It was thought during the capture that this was a trick of the light, that due to his pale eyes this was merely a figment of imagination, but this has proven to not be true. His eyes do glow.

Subject currently appears passive, quite solitarily and content. There are times where it seems that the subject appears distressed, but there has not been any attempt of escape. Subject will be watched, but not restrained as this will, it is believe, distress the subject. If forced, the subject will be restrained. Until that time, if the subject is willing to co-operate we are willing to allow him some level of freedom.

After all, friendliness may bring about more answers the imprisonment.

4:59 (Cobra): HQ said no injuries. We move in on 5. Get ready.

The clouds have provided shade against the setting Sun, and ample coverage for Seagull to fire a perfect shot. A sudden gale shifted the clouds and glare from the sniper’s lens reflected to the Target’s room. The dart missed and grazed her arm.

5:00 (Seagull): Miss. Say again, Miss.

5:00 (Cobra): Move in, move in. No injuries!

5:01 (Cobra): Don’t move!

Who are you people!?

Heavy nets were fired, suppressing the Target.

5:01 (Gerbil): Boss, her arm’s glowing! Wait, what the fuck!?

Sharp tearing sounds as the nets were ripped apart. Gunfire followed.

5:01 (Cobra): Stop firing! Cease fire!

Today is a huge accomplishment- the capture of two super-powered beings. Gershwin May and Codey O’Niel. The two could not be any more different, but they are valuable to us. Their captures were practically done simultaneously that Agent Caits and I had conflicting entry inputs for our reports.

Collaborate teamwork with her is perhaps the next item on the ever-growing agenda. I’ll send an email to the higher-ups to confirm.

Transcript 1 With Subject 30

Date and time:08/03/2016, 0400

Subject appeared restless, and out of sorts. Subject initiated contact with his attendant, this is the conversation between the two.

Subject 20: Excuse me, could I trouble you for a drink of water? My throat is very dry

Attendant: I'm really not suppose to leave you

Subject 30: Oh. That's okay, I guess. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble

Attendant: Well...it is just down the hall...I could run there and back in a few seconds, but if you even think about trying anything, alarms will go off

Subject 30: Oh, I wouldn't try anything. I wouldn't get far if I did, anyway, and what would be the point of that?

Attendant:...

There is a pause in the conversation, presumably as the attendant retrieved water for the subject. Subject appears polite, well mannered and does not appear to be too worried about what is going on.

Subject 30: Oh, thank you! I don't think I could have put up with the dry throat!

Attendant: Well...Ah, if you can just leave the glass when you are done, it should be alright.

Subject 30: Of course. Do you know when I'll be able to get out, stretch my legs a little?

Attendant: I don't know. Someone will be around in the morning, so you'd be better to rest. Shift changes in a couple of hours.

Subject 30: Alright. I might try to sleep some, thank you for the water again. I'll just slip the glass through the bars, okay? There you go

This appears to be the end of the conversation. Subject 30 appears to be cooperative, and seems to accept what is happening to him. Iss this some way of getting under the guard of watchers and handlers? It would be wise to never have the same handler in the same 24 hour period, and all should be warned to be on the look out for anyway the subject might seek to escape.

What can be said about today's efforts? Two higher beings captured, almost at the same time. There hasn't been a successful capture like this in all the time I have been here. Gershwin May and Cody O'Niel will be, if they can withstand the testing, valuable assets to the project. Perhaps this means teamwork, means working with Agent Dioxide, as surely will be required after this successful event.

And that email notification must, of course, be from Agent Dioxide.

Hello, Congratulations are also in order for you, although you appeared to have had more trouble with Gershwin then I did with Cody. No doubt that is to be expected, given that these subjects appear to be as different from each other as fire and Ice.

Given the success of this, working together might just give us more answers, then questions. So we will talk, and discuss how best to work together.

Date and Time: 8/3/2016 – 0800

Analysis Report – Subject 29(2)

Overnight surveillance crew reported Gershwin having repeated night terrors throughout the early morning. Acoustic measures showed an increase in volume from the Subject’s shouting. With regard to our observation with her, this is due to her damaged throat – a result of irritation from shouting.

This observation is significant and amazing. Her abilities extend beyond just strength, speed, and durability – something we have never seen from our previous subjects. We have to know more about just where and how this works.

It also appears that self-inflicted damage and pain also activates her abilities. We… have to be careful with proceeding with experiments later today.

It pains me that our staff is so few. I have requested for more resources and staff time and time again – The UN thinks this endeavour is less important. “Global Warming” my fat ass.

I will be conducting the preliminary screens on Subject 30 – Cody O’Niel. A seeing blind man? Who would have thought?

Transcript – Meeting; 8/3/2016

Time – 0830

A large, imposing, heavy-set man entered the Conference Room. At first glance, one would never assume that this man was military – a man whose expertise was knowledge, a thirst as unquenchable as his diet. While no supercomputer, his mind works on a level far above even his superiors. The man is living proof of eidetic memory, an ability so profound it was borderline ‘super powered-being-like’. His amazingness only shadowed by his laziness and stubborn ambition. Nevertheless, he is a senior. They call him ‘ Big Boss’

Agent Dioxide, Agent Caits, and Chief Scientist Dr. Baoning were present.

I called you all in here to discuss many things.

First of which, congratulations on the captures of our two new subjects.

Now, of course, the journey is just as important as the destination – which begs the question of ’What the fucking hell do you think you’re doing?

You, $40,000 worth of public property destroyed and 12 casualties – 5 of whom were innocent bystanders. They’re lucky they’re dead otherwise I would have had the soldiers killed anyway for their ridiculous incompetence.

And you, a fucking dog? Shoot the fucking dog. If you knew he was going to detect you anyway, why was there a problem? An unnecessary broken arm thanks to your inability to plan.

None of you two say a fucking word. I only brought Dr. Baoning here to embarrass you two.

You two are my finest agents in this shit-pile of toy soldiers we have – so mishaps like this are magnificently more stupid. You two are supposed to be working together - goodness knows how that'll turn out. Email will be sent later, apparently.

Don't fuck up again.

Get out.

Subject appeared to be if not well rested, in some ways at piece. Cody did not put up any resistance when escorted to testing, but did show some reluctance to being restrained, indeed he did not seem to tolerate the restraints well, but he did not complain. I wonder if he merely has suffered in silence for years, or if he sees no point in complaining. Unwilling to break protocol, the subject remained restrained until arriving at the testing rooms.

Conversation with subject was recorded and transcribed, and filed correctly.

Transcript 1 With Subject 30

Subject appeared to know we were coming for him, and appeared almost resigned to what was coming. Did the subject know what was going to happen? Perhaps he guessed at it.

Subject 30: You were there. You were apart of...bringing me here

Agent Caits: I am Agent Caits, and I am required to take you to testing. You must be restrained. I am coming in, if you even think of attacking me, I will be forced to use extreme force, and trust me, you will not like that.

Subject 30: I said to whoever helped me last night, what would be the point of trying to escape? I am not going to try, as I will not get anywhere.

Subject 30: Do you know what happened to my puppy?

Subject 30: Oh.

Agent Caits: I am putting the restraints on, hold out your hands.

Agent Caits: This way.

Subject 30: What's going to happen to me?

Agent Caits: That is not up to me. Rather, it is up to you. You'd do best to do what you are asked, and to not cause trouble.

Subject 30: That's not much of an answer, rather that's merely common sense, but how can I know you won't harm me anyway? People who harm a puppy don't typically have boundaries.

Silence ensured, and the conversation appeared at an end.

Analysis Report – Subject 30

Subject 30, Cody O'Niel, is indeed quite cooperative. There was no trouble conducting the tests, although the subject appeared to be in distress during the physical testing. Touch seems to cause him pain, even the slightest brush of something against his skin can be stressing to him, yet he did not complain, nor react more beyond wincing.

Rather then cause further distress, blood was taken via a IV drain, as this appeared easier on the subject instead of taken many different vials of blood. Subject appeared calm during this procedure, and not once sought to make difficulties. Blood results showed very little abnormality, however his blood did show signs of light appearance, and had an almost luminescent glow at times. Perhaps this was a trick of the light, yet with the subjects eyes, this is not believe to be so.

What was extremely remarkable about Cody was his hearing. Off the charts, there is no way of measuring just how soft a sound he can hear, oft times it appears he can even hear a heart beating. Some noise during testing that could be anywhere in the building would attract his attention. What implications could this have for example, military? If he can hear as it is believed he can, could we not use this ability for obtaining lintel without the risk to military personal. Imagine the lives that could be saved, and the damage that could be done to the enemy. Especially if the subject is willing, and cooperative. How long, after all, would it take to replicate Cody's abilities? As long as Cody is cooperative, it is believe answers can be found much quicker.

As for his other abilities, he does not seem to even know his own potential. His bone structure is denser, stronger then a normal being, and yet Cody himself appears to be quite light weight, his measurements coming in just under the normal range for someone of his height and age. Is this a way of ensuring he can maintain his use of, presumably, light? Further testing will need to be conducted, as well as to further test his ability to see. It really is quite marvelous. Has he merely adjusted at a faster rate then someone else who is blind, then a normal being? Or is it something else?

Subject appears to have above average intelligence, answering preliminary IQ tests in Superior Range, however it is believed that the subject could even have very Superior test scores, with an assumed IQ score of 150.

Preliminary findings indicate that this subject could be very valuable indeed.

Analysis Report – Subject 29

While Subject 30's testing went well, it is expected that Subject 29's will be difficult. Pain is not an option here, as this appears to be a trigger for her abilities. Blood testing may have to be set for a later date, as this could, potentially cause a severe reaction from Gerswhin. .All possible difficulties due to the subjects reactions need to be considered, and safety is essential for personal. Subject will have to be restrained, strongly so, and it is not expected that the subject will be cooperative, as Subject Cody was.

It may be prudent to put the subject to sleep, and if subject proves difficult, this will need to be an option. It will be necessary to have a small team transport the subject, again for safety and to prevent the subject escaping.

It may be necessary to conduct Subject 29's testing in small parts to prevent anything dangerous from happening

Analysis Report – Subject 29(3)

Pain is such a weird thing. What hurts for a little child is nothing to a grown man. It borders from physical pain to psychogenic. To be able to control pain and become empowered instead of refraining from injury… the possibilities are endless…

One could never die.

We’re banking on the assumption that Subject 29’s abilities are derived from pain, and not injury. This is a big gamble considering how closely-knit the two are. A general anaesthesia (I say general; it’s a mighty-fucking powerful anaesthesia) will be induced. Needles must be avoided: we can’t know for sure if a small prick in the skin would make the Subject go berserk. It must be administered without contact – gas.

Analysis Report – Subject 29(4)

Everyone was scared.

Even after she was pseudo-comatose, she was delivered to us in a straitjacket, tied to a gurney with at least three tight straps.

My assistants had to pull down the collar of the jacket, too afraid to loosen her. I had originally wanted to postpone blood-testing until later, until a stroke of genius reminded me of anaesthesia and we proceeded with the preliminary – albeit limited.

Vitals were stable and brain activity was just that – unconscious. We had no reason to be afraid.

The prick of the needle to draw blood must have been what started it off. All monitors emitted a sharp sound that spread through the hitherto tense, silent operation room. We thought nothing of it at first – she hadn’t moved at all.

Then the subject, somehow overcoming the anaesthesia, had another dream. She was barely conscious, yet her wound on her neck had started to glow. It pulsated, as if it were moving along with the blood in her veins. The glowing came from the wound. Bleeding had ceased from a formation that emanated this glow… a phantom copy of what was damaged.

Then she moved. Only slightly, but it was enough to call the whole thing off.

It must be linked to her somewhat acute perception of pain. Body and blood analyses were just as fruitless as Subject 30’s. There must be something in the brain that is doing all this – pain does come as a feeling reactionary to a stimuli. Neuro-imaging is the next step, but this will be even more difficult, and I have never been so afraid in my life:

She will have to be awake.

Supervisor: You were assigned to Subject 30 last night?

Attendant: Cody. That's right.

Supervisor: how did the subject appear?

Attendant: Cody did not cause any issues, and only asked for a glass of water. But...during the end of shift Cody began to hum, to sing softly.

Supervisor: the subject sang?

Attendant: yeah...it was such a sad tone...

Supervisor: what is it? What's wrong?

Attendant: nothing...just...I guess it just got to me, that song. Cody did not appear to be unduly stressed. He seems to be quite willing to do what we require, and was not demanding or anything but resigned to the situation. I believe if he is handled carefully, not as a captive, that he could be very willing to help us.

An idea for what? We don’t even know if Subject 30’s singing had any actual supernatural effect. Even if there had been any, who knows what kind of effects it’ll have on Subject 29?

That’s what it is, really. We cut these people open and we still have nothing to show. Surely we must have learnt something from the other 28 subjects. It can’t be all just red tape; we are responsible for our subjects: we should know.

Big Boss: Well?

Dr. Baoning: We have found nothing significant nor conclusive in their vitals, sir. Subject 30 is willing to cooperate but I doubt we will be able to find much again like the other 28. Subject 29 – we can’t even touch her and her being awake is a danger we cannot afford to risk.

Big Boss: Subject 29 does not know herself that she is an anomaly. She will be cooperative because she will be afraid of us. Continue your research, and employ the heaviest of restraints.

Subject 30 is hiding something. I watched the surveillance footage of Subject 30’s cell. Light emanated from his skin. Play along with him.

Have the two scheduled for neuro-imaging later today.

Subject 30: Oh, well, Light is fascinating. It's everywhere. You just have to look for it. Some lights are brighter then others. Yours....Yours appears faint. I...I'm sorry...that generally means...death is close.

Subject 30 is an interesting subject indeed. He seems quite logically, yet last nights conversation with the attendant shows that he might not be truly stable. Still, he has seemed to give us some insight of how he can see. It appears the subject has abilities that revolve around light, something previously indicated. However, it appears these abilities with light enable to subject to see, perhaps not truly, but perhaps in the absence or presence of light.

Perhaps we will find some more answers with the neuro-imaging. Agent Caits will escort the subject to these tests.

Subject 30: So I'm in for more testing, Agent?

Agent Caits: No doubt. I'll be putting the restraints on again.

Subject 30: Whatever you have to do, Agent.

...

Subject 30: You're breathing is a bit fast, and your heart beat is a little bit off rhythm. What's wrong?

Agent Caits: Nothing. Tell me, since you are in the mood for questions, just how can you see, when you are blind?

Subject 30: Oh. Well, it's kind of hard to explain, really. Basically...it's about light and shadows. Eyes glow. The body doesn't, not really. Nor does objects. Space glows. I don't see colours. I see different shades of...light> I can't tell you the actually colours, cause I don't know what they are.

Agent Caits: Why do your eyes glow, and why does your skin, sometimes?

Subject 30: I imagine that's because I'm actively looking. I don't know. Not really. As for my skin, well, call it a defense. Touch irritates me, and if I went around irritated all the time, well...I don't think it would be good, for anyone. Allowing my skin to glow burns away the irritation.

Agent Caits: So it's like healing?

Subject 30: Not that I know off, it merely...burns a layer of skin off I guess. I don't know anything more about my abilities then you do, and probably less, to be honest. I know that you have calmed, some what. I know that I can hear the machines buzzing where you are taking me. I know that half way across the building someone has just dropped a pen or pencil. I know that somewhere, something is burning. Perhaps coffee. It smells like coffee. I know that these restraints are almost burning my skin with their weight and feel. Do I really have to wear them?

Agent Caits: Yes, you do. Until I am told otherwise, I cannot break protocol.

Subject 30: That's okay. Thank you for escorting me.

Analyses report-subject 30

They say we only use 10 percent of our brain. We have often wondered if these higher beings use more then 10 percent. Certainly there is cause for belief in that-the rumor sensitives, the emphatic abilities those that work in healthcare or in places that depend empathy for the harshness that the jobs involve. Are they higher beings? Do they use more of their brain?

Subject 30, Cody O'Niel, gave us no trouble as we conducted the neuro imaging. This had to be repeated two times, as there were some abnormalities in the results, this being bright spots, presumably light, that came from the subject himself. The result on the third try showed less anomalies then the first two, and we were able to get a clear image.

Cody's result certainly proves that he does indeed use more then 10 percent of his brain, normal imaging is displayed, along with other areas of the brain showing activity.

As instructed, we were to look for any marks on the subject produced by our previous testing of the subject the day before. Curiously, there were none. The IV site of the blood transfusion was no longer there. Does the subject have increased healing, or is this a result of his light abilities? It will be hard to prove this, as indicated by previous files, the subject can use his abilities to, theoretically, destroy skin cells.

If this is the case, can the subject heal more serious wounds? Accessing the subjects medical files will be imperative to proving this.

Accessing the subject's medical files proved simple. Perhaps the absence of any childhood injuries is an indication of the subject's abilities. Perhaps though the subject is merely quite lucky, in that he never received a broken bone, or other such injury, yet what are the chances of that? Perhaps being blind brings about a caution that would otherwise not be there in a child, but there is no indication of any other injuries, no burns, cuts, or anything else.

Indeed the subject does not even appear to have any scars. Further testing, particularly in giving the subject injuries, will serve to prove whether or not he has any sort of healing abilities.

Yet what is perculiar is the subject appeared not to suffer any injuries from the car accident that killed his mother when he was a child. The subjects mother was dead on scene, but the baby was unharmed. Files on the accident were accessed, and it was believed that the child surviving was nothing short of a miracle.

Just when do the higher beings abilities manifest?

Please escort Subject 29 to the SRB Building. There is no need for anaesthesia now. Her room will be amended back to its original state; no more padding or restraints.

Analysis Report – Subject 29(5)

Moving Subject 29 from her cell without restraints and anaesthesia was easier than we thought. There was struggling and shouting, and the guards were still afraid of hurting the Subject even the slightest. However, we had guns and muscle. We have the biggest, meanest-looking guys to scare the girl that scares us the most. Funny.

Neuro-imaging showed a similar peculiarity as Subject 30’s. Much of the cerebrum, where our consciousness lies, appears normal, except for the parietal lobe and the pituitary gland. It appears that there is flaring between the two parts, a connection so direct and so powerful it should not anatomically be possible.

Furthermore, as exciting as it is, her blood is not normal as well: persistent and unrelenting analysis showed that her DNA contains genes that seem… primeval and ancestral – a historic gene that no longer is used in modern man, perhaps for a reason.

Perhaps the combination of her brain and genetics has caused her to be the way she is today. What is not explained yet… is the glowing.

Further research is needed.

Maintaining the practice with the previous Subjects, you are in charge of maintaining your Subject’s health in all faculties.

By now, you two are familiar with the roles that comes with this additional responsibility:

• Provide exercise regimens fit for their current physical state, and gradually increase intensity
• Provide recreational activities to relieve stress and tedium.
• Do not provide them classified information or information of the outside world
  
  You may acknowledge their reason of stay – that they are Anomalies – but you may not disclose their possibility of release or contact of the outside world
• Do not get attached to them.

Given the higher-ups’ orders of you two working together, you may schedule ‘play-time’ with the two Subjects to meet. However, given the delicate situation between the two, I implore you exercise extreme caution. Subject 29 does not know that she is volatile and dangerous. Subject 30 has unforeseen powers we do not yet know or understand.

Further information and instruction will be supplied later.

So what’s the plan? We should get started this evening.

From: Agent Caits
To: Agent Dioxide

Mornings-breakfast then exercise, lunch then recreation (whatever the subjects enjoy) exercise, dinner.

Any changes you wish to make, you can. Subjects should be informed about what is happening.

From: Agent Dioxide
To: Agent Caits

Alright. Like practice:

• Their place to rest and sleep is SRD, back in their cells.
• Meals are in the SRD cafeterias.
• They are free to use the gyms in either Logistics or near Communications, the buildings just opposite the road from SRD.
  
  • Again, jogging around the perimeter of the facility is disallowed.
• There is a large recreational room in Communications. Cody likes music, so he’d enjoy himself there.

I’m sure we don’t need to arrange for them to meet; that’ll happen on its own. It’s bound to happen – given that they’re stuck here.

The Public Address System will be used again for announcements throughout the buildings. The comms are busy enough as it is, so we’ll need to set times. What do you say?

From: Agent Caits
To: Agent Dioxide

0730: breakfast
0800: any tests that need to be conducted
0900-1000: recreational activity-Exercise
1200: lunch
1400: recreational activity suited to the subject
1600-1700: exercise
1800: dinner
2000: subjects should be back in their cells by this time

This does not have to be set in stone, as things could change on a day to day basis. I'll be taking Cody to the communication centre shortly

Daily Report #205

Communications was a large branch here in our facility. It handled information movement not only from within the different branches of a large network, but also from in and out of UNARM.

It decided on delicate and diplomatic issues that pertained to the mission. While possessing many powers like a governing body of its own, it still responded to a higher authority – its founders, and its backers. They had to know every process and every progress. The fact that this place is still running must logically mean the people support our current course of action and our results. We personnel never see those results, but apparently we are doing something.

On the other hand, Communications decides on the information that gets revealed to the world about the disappearances of people that we take as Subjects. Public property damage and casualties are explained as results of ‘certain unforeseen events’ - a matter of compelling persuasion and control of evidence.

Subject 30, Cody O’Niel’s disappearance is explained in local news as ‘an incident of getting lost on his way back home’. As far as news goes, many people get lost all the time, and attention is limited to loved ones – especially since it was a ‘pity victim, another blind young man lost.’ Subject 29, Gershwin May, was trickier, given that many law figures were concerned with her disappearance. They had more influence and power to issue a thorough investigation. The solution for her was that she was ‘abducted by unknown people.’ This has kept them busy and the investigating force assigned are ‘busy doing their job.’

All I see are lies.

progress report-subject 30

Upon collecting the subject it was noticed that there was a bloodied hand print on the wall, but no blood. Cody himself has mentioned believing he died in the crash that killed his mother. Clearly that is not so, but it begins to add up. Just what can Cody do?

The subject believes we are fooled by his charade, that we are take. In by his behaviors when we are on guard. What does this mean though, that he would work on putting in a mask? T

This is not known. One thing that should be noticed from interviews with attendants and reviewing security tapes, when the subject sings, light migrates towards him. Why? Cody does not seem aware of this.

To unlock this puzzle it is believe we need to find the right key or keys. Trough music would be a good way. The subject appears calm and willing when he has done anything musical.

The interactions between the two subjects will be interesting, perhaps Cody will reach something within Gerswhin that we have overlooked. Will he be the one to convince her she is an anomaly? Perhaps. Their interactions should be momitored, as both seem conning enough to work out a plan to escape.
