Observation Notes - 27th May

AUTHORTISED PERSONNEL ONLY

This week, we were eager to unlock the secrets of the creature's genetic make up, particularly its ability to regenerate and exploring the possibility of speeding up this process.

And so, we got to work, removing the tail, docking the canine ears, and taking skin samples from the limbs, snout and cheek. After a few days of allowing the incisions to heal, we injected the accelerator hormone.

We did not expect the specimen to grow a smaller, second head.

We made the mistake of mentioning this to the specimen, who then became extremely distressed. It took 45 minutes, three researchers and a sedative to pin it down so we could amputate the growth for a biopsy.

Results to be confirmed.

((Context below LOL))

Growing up with a hormone disorder meant my body was very odd. I had acne from when I was very young and my mum one day casually commented that I had a pimple 'with a head' that she wanted to get rid of. Six year old me took this literally and assumed that on top of all the other things going on, I was now in the beginning stages of mitosis, which sent me into a frenzy. My poor mother had to chase me around with a mirror and hold me down to show me that I wasn't actually mutating LOL

“All that can happen now is that one foul, humiliating sin will be piled on another, and my sufferings will become only the more acute. I want to die. I must die. Living itself is the source of sin.”

“If it failed I had no choice but to hang myself, a resolve which was tantamount to a bet on the existence of God.”

Read a section from No Longer Human I remembered happening, and it just reminded me of this scene. I don’t think there’s an inherent connection here, just an observation of why Fyodor is insistent on Dazai understanding besides the discussion between Oba and Horiki on the antonym of Crime (/Sin).

That was.... draining, for lack of a better word. 

Nic and I went to Daeva Corp, and were met with Warren’s “welcoming committee”. Coralee was there, of course.  She seemed almost smug, in a way. 

Unfortunately they found Nic’s wire before we even got inside the building. I had hoped that because I was warned against it that they would overlook him. 

I was so thankful to see Richard again. He seemed... Tired. They had him in a thin shirt and what looked like swim trunks; but he was alive and, for the most part, unhurt. He said that the scientists were “taking care of him”. He couldn’t discuss details - not with Coralee standing watch over our shoulders. I’ll be honest... I didn’t care. Richard was alive, and he was, not okay, but alive. 

We stayed as long as we could, but eventually Coralee ended our “visit” and escorted us out. 

I think I’m going to stay up tonight with the pets.

A note on my observations of the Earth societies #1

Some of these Earth societies have a 'gender binary' they impose on their humanlings before they have the capacity to conceptualize gender, and by an arbitrary standard. Like, wtf?????

Observation Notes - 6th April

AUTHORTISED PERSONNEL ONLY

No matter how many times we've tried to provoke it, we can't seem to get this thing to be aggressive. It's no surprise this subject was discarded, it would have served no purpose as a bioweapon to Umbrella.

Its temperament, however, has made it very useful for our investigation. In fact, this specimen is docile enough for prolonged experimentation and testing not previously thought possible by our researchers. Without the limitations of our usual safety protocols, we believe this creature holds the key to valuable, groundbreaking information on bioweapons and artificial genetic mutations.

The ethics board suggested that we grant the subject permission to exit Observation Room E for a scheduled hour a day. During this time, the subject has access to limited, pre-approved spaces. Subject understands that trespassing in unapproved areas, or any behavioural infractions, will result in these permissions being revoked.

Next round of testing commences Thursday.

I went back to read this chapter and you'd usually hear “Sin” in this type of sentence, but I realized the reason he said “Crime” instead is because the Japanese translation of Crime and Punishment uses Tsumi (罪) in replacement for “Crime”. So of course they'd translate it like this in the official volume. I did check if he was using it and he was.

(Edit: It technically means both in concept, but the sentence structure just threw me off. When a religious fanatic talks about the sinfulness of human beings, they'd instead say “Thinking is a sin. Breathing is a sin.” don't you think?)
