Me and my colleagues have recently discovered that the hunger phenomenon was caused by a mistake when switching organs, specifically the stomach, and connecting it to the nerves of the other twin. This combined with the psychosis caused by 2b’s mental state is what we believe caused the murder subsequent cannibalism of 1b.

This has been fixed.

I well I, I’m not sure how to say this. Writing this, even after everything has happened I feel like puking.

2b has…. Eaten 1b. I found it this morning, when I first came in.

I… can't even describe it.

2b pulled it apart, with its own hands. Its flesh was stretched, some of it was missing. It’s blood coated the walls, the bed, everywhere. I wonder if 1b even felt it. Its fingers were broken, some of them missing. I didn't even know humans were capable of that. I feel sick even recounting it. I had to call guards to clean it up. I expected 2b to attack, to fight, to do anything. But it just… cried. I don't understand this behavior. It's so erratic.

2b has been moved to the interrogation room until the white room has been cleaned. I was able to talk to it. So, here is that transcript;

Sick. That's how Lucas felt, sick. He was still so hungry, but he didn't hear his mother's voice anymore, he didn't feel him anymore. He wants his brother back.

“2b…” the scientist began, “I… don't even know what to say…”

Lucas just choked back a sob.

“Why… did you-”

“I was so hungry… and mama, she…” Lucas began, before letting out a sob and holding his head in his hands. “Please… I want my brother back…”

“2b… do you understand what you did?” The scientist asked.

“I… ate.” Lucas looked up and at the man, who stared back in what could only be described as fear.

“Right… are you still hungry?”

“I'm always hungry.”

After it uttered those words. I admit, I had gotten a little scared, so I let myself out. Tomorrow the cleaning should be done.

Porky advised me to begin keeping logs. He says these new batches of experiments are supposed to be more.. ‘complicated’. I was unsure of what he meant, until he brought them in. They're kids, no older than seven or eight. They have a family, and friends. I can't believe I'm about to do this.

1b, or ‘Claus’ seems much more aggressive than the other. It even tried to attack me.

The other one, 2b, or ‘Lucas’ seems much less likely to initiate anything. Every time I try to speak with it, it backs away in fear. I am unsure what to do about this.

The two seem to be fraternal twins, with an extremely strong bond. Separating the two has seemed nearly impossible. I'm thinking that exposing them to older experiments may help them adjust. They're being placed in the white room. It has all the essentials they need.

Warning. 11/19

POTENTIAL 32A SIGHTING AROUND SECTOR 6. DO NOT ENGAGE, CONTACT THE CLOSEST PIGMASK COMMANDER AND THEY WILL NEUTRALIZE THE TARGET. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ELIMINATE TARGET. IF IT SEES YOU, YOU ARE DEAD.

I’m scared. I’ll say it plainly. This horrible feeling is creeping up my spine. Something is going to happen. Grand-Commander has yet to say anything and my colleagues are scared for the life of 4b. I’ve spoken to Master Porky, and he refuses to do anything. I just need to get it all off my mind. But behind this horrible feeling is one as if I’m forgetting something.

Surgery Record. 11/25

3b’s arm has been replaced with a mechanical version, capable of studying 3b’s nerve movement and copying them. And by the word of King Porky, part of its spine has also been removed, replaced with two mechanical wings, although it is unable to fly. Due to a small oversight, part of 3b’s left (our right) eye has been removed. We are currently unable to find materials to replace it mechanically, so it has just been covered with a bandage.

Testing Log 1. 11/23

2b has been prompted with a decision that has two outcomes. It was tasked with either cutting off its own arm, or cutting off the arm of its companion, 3b. When asked about its decision, 2b seemed hesitant, unable to decide and attempting to stall for time. When given a limit on the amount of time to choose, the consequence being death, 2b responded negatively. In the end, 2b’s final decision was to cut off the arm of 3b instead of its own.

Ah, now, I must admit this gets a little hard to describe. Before the experiment I overheard some of my colleagues speaking to each other. The cleaver they gave to 2b, the one it must use to cut 3b’s arm, they made it purposefully dull. It’s not sharp enough to cut through meat and bone, hell, it's not even sharp enough to cut through paper. They want it to hurt.

The screams, oh how 3b screamed. 2b brought the cleaver down more times that I was able to count. When it was done, 3b’s arm looked as if it had been torn apart by 32a, maybe even worse. 2b dropped the cleaver and cried, he took 3b into its arms and refused to let go, even after 3b had passed out from blood loss. It took us ten minutes to finally get 3b away from it. 3b has been taken to the lab, its arm will be replaced by mechanical parts for testing before it is taken back to stay in the white room.

As for 2b, its behavior has been studied, and we have learned immensely about the Dubbel Effect.

The other scientists seem rather worried about 12a and 13a. They think that maybe their strange behavior is about the possible sighting of 32a in another sector. I tell them not to interfere, they’ll get over it. As for 4b, she seems much more cautious around 12a and 13a, unlike how she was when they were first introduced.

With 2b and 3b, nothing seems to have changed. Though I fear I may snap if I hear any more of 3b’s cries. I know this seems strange, but I'm beginning to hear them in my dreams. This project seems to be getting to me, maybe I should talk to Porky about this.
