@rivke-comics you know the REALLY WILD thing?? Her being noted as being disobedient comes a few notes in, after her being moved downstairs and declared permanently not ready for presentation! Like, the first note about her doesn't exactly state why she's being relocated and written off as a failure, but the closest we come to that is this:
[Afterwards, she proceeded to ask if the new place is where she would put her pouch to use and finally get to teach "good children" the importance of staying good and what happens to "Bad children", which the present staff member said they were uncertain. The answer will now forever remain "no".]
which???? going off her mural, that's what you told her she was supposed to do! if it turned out badly somehow that's on you dumbasses and it DOES feel like a more fixable problem than Literally Killing People. I feel like she and Toadster have in common 'we actively trained this Case to be delusional and want to do a specific thing, then that turned out to not work... oops! Stick 'em downstairs!'
There's also the weird effed up note of:
[As per management's request in pursuit of documenting the case's reaction, Case 14 has been informed that it will be moved to the lower levels, and that the LLTT have been contacted.]
First off, I'm thinking that this is written by someone different by the person who wrote the rest of the entry, both because it's in italics and because the queen is rendered as 'it' instead of 'she'. Secondly, 'Hey tell the Case it's going in the basement in advance, I wanna see the look on its face'. Although, thinking seriously about what information they wanted, I suspect it might have to do with this (SORRY I only meant to reference one thing, this is the last tangent I promise!)
['With the same calm and reasonable demeanor that Case 14 has had since the modified Gv solution was applied to her system...']
This line implies that Bouncelia perhaps was not originally 'calm and reasonable', aka nonagressive and agreeable - she was the test subject for a Givanium solution intended to give her these qualities. Observing her when she's told she's being exiled downstairs, something that clearly upsets the Cases as a norm, might be an opportunity for them to see how it holds up to genuine huge stress.
Although it doesn't explain why she was cut in the first place, aside from the implication that they might have been concerned with her desire to discipline 'bad children' (which again... her mural featuring her and the Naughty Ones...* you did that bro...) and the knowledge we have from the Rejection Letter that before being cut to six, the number of Cases under testing/consideration had been cut down to ten from an unknown larger number. So around that time people were probably looking for any reason to cut someone from the lineup, considering how many Cases were made.
THAT SAID -
@eggsplosioncase4 Yeah at least with Banban there's the fact he was slated for destruction once and it seems likely he only survived because they'd made a point of having a 'main character/leader' who was derived from Uthman's DNA - I wouldn't be surprised if they were planning to simply pass Flumbo off as the original result of that experiment, and when he vanished they didn't have time to replace Banban again before showing him to their management or clients as part of the core lineup.
But the power of the Nabnab stan must be INCREDIBLE, because he wasn't cut until the very last round of cuts, and even while he's running around killing people there's a whole video telling workers that they'll be massively fined if they harm him. Was the scientist who created him related to their sponsors or something? We may never know.
