Dr. Akerman's Links
Things clearly don't add up the moment this man comes into the picture. Absolutely no records of him are to be found, or at least, not open among staff. Not even some of the higherups have anything to say or seem to refrain from acknowledging what they may know. Who was this man, truly? What happened to him?
The most important question may be if he'll be careful enough to get out with what he has and will discover...
Mr. Pandora, the one and only owner of the entire lab, maybe even the founder so to speak...something I can't fully buy. Or at least, there's clearly dirt on this man that somehow tacks onto even more problems he has overall. I don't think reason is part of his element, I can't let him or any of his "lapdogs" catch onto my investigations. Do I dare to risk my fate to see everything he has hiding? What dried blood he managed to disguise as the...colour theory of a false hospital this place is? The point is, clearly more to him just like that other man...
A.I. Security Systems Unit "Shepherd". A very dedicated member of the lab and as far as I'm concerned has been apart of the lab for a decently lengthy period too. Supposedly was a constructed project by Cain himself, which admittedly made me a bit hesitant to interact with too much as after all he seems loyal and very capable of reporting suspicious activity and enacting detainment. Over time the unit has grown on me a little, has the youthful energy of someone bright and genuinely believing they're contributing to something greater in the lab...Would kind of hate to be the one to reveal otherwise.
Solitary Confinement Subject #001, maybe even the first one ever in this lab. I'm not given as much free access to "the depths below", but I know of this subject's existence. I've heard a few things about him here and there, which would be enough to give an outsider's impression of "Pestilence, the Father", but not enough to give me answers and truly know on a deeper level. He's got to be the oldest patient in the establishment, if I can get the chance to reach him, maybe he can tell me more. If he's open to communicating, that is.
I'll be honest, I never quite liked this guy. He was another one of those more off-putting staff members that you really wouldn't want to be under the knife of, and unfortunately, a good handful of subjects were. Up until Subject M081's treatment lead to his very own demise. I don't really know how to really conclude my feelings on what happened to him, but he really should have reconsidered his methods.
Subject M081, sometimes referred to as "MOBI" in shorter notes. A poor soul, much like the other younger subjects in the lab. Some people here will dismiss their moral obscenities with the excuse that some of these patients are already doomed with the harsh conditioning of residing here. That it makes them numb and docile to conscious actions, that should they escape anyways everything engrained into their "non-sentient" heads would succumb to the outside. Sick bastards...It has been about well past a month since this patient's escape, others insist they still must be out there and to be retrieved. Whatever happens, whatever they may do, I only hope that they not only are able to avoid capture, but find it in themself to avoid having to hurt others the same way they have been hurt.
Subject IP-T2, also known as "Cali", a contained anomaly and one of the lab's proud findings they've managed to keep for as long as they have. As one of the scientists exclusively assigned to this subject, I manage the care in his recoveries post-extraction along with general status maintenance and note-taking. He's certainly one of the more docile and calm subjects, but not for the best reasons. He's been through a lot of rough tests and treatment to say the least, part of him seems jaded to it but the pain still clearly remains. He's trying his best, and keeps a light-hearted nature in our conversations. There's meant to be more entities like him, they supposedly work together in a system outside of this world itself. I'm not sure if it's considered a good thing or a bad thing that no other seemed to have appeared to try and retrieve him in this case...
One of our younger patients, and another subject in the parasite host projects. I honestly don't know where to begin with what I've seen this kid go through, and for all I know what I saw might just be the half of it. Amir has suffered a lot of trauma, most often mental and emotional, but not excluding physical unfortunately after witnessing them endure a knee to the gut. By the owner no less. I probably was not meant to see that but I doubt someone like him would really care if he caught me. The kid really deserves much better than this, though I do appreciate how they seem to get along with the test subject Marlin. He seems to provide a bit of a comforting presence despite the situation and tests they're sometimes put in together. Maybe when I'm able to find a way to actually try and help, they'll both find something better. I hope you'll be able to gain control over those powers without being used by others.
It doesn't take a scientist to tell that something just isn't right with this guy. Not too hard to avoid talking with this guy, usually. He tends to be in his own world, often to other's detriments. You would not want to be under his blade, another addition to why I feel bad for a lot of these test subjects. I can see how the lab values his skill and dedication however, he's been able to make some impressive work. Although, I heard what I believe was his proudest work got stolen...Good.
His name was...is Siph. With the condition he's in, he shows no signs of remembering or even being fully conscious. This subject is not one assigned to me, I don't see him often so I had to snoop for his files for these answers. The fact he had been changed so drastically from the man he once was is a dreadful feeling, definitely one of the lab's examples at what extremes they could get to, if that's even the tip of the iceberg. What should I do if it's too late to do anything for subjects like him?
I’m sorry, I don’t think I know you
Marlin, what can I say about this subject that doesn't just consist of his inflicted misery by the lab...? One of the lab's chew toys, due to being one of the parasite hosts with an extremely effective power, his invincibility. Of course much like the others, this wasn't by choice, and they take advantage of that. He seems so tired...but he also tries his best to support another subject, the younger one, Amir. They seem relatively close but I worry that may be used against them, please be safe by the end of all this mess.
Hes a doctor. same as the rest.
Salem is...nice? In her own way I suppose, she's elusive and I think she likes it that way. She hides her intentions from everyone so not even they seem to know how to feel about her. Oddly enough it feels like she's put some of her attention on me, offering delicious healthy meals to have at the cafeteria instead of my office, and I could have sworn QSS didn't just trip on nothing that one time. She's helped me out...but I should likely keep this under wraps, I wouldn't want anyone else to get too involved in this or we'd both be in trouble.
Quite the funny fellow. Love how he runs around and squirms with the slightest nudge. I'm sure he'll prove himself to be.... Interesting.
Mr. Sigurd, I don't exactly see or speak to him much. Despite being a higher up I somehow overlooked him a little, perhaps due to some of his behind the scene work here and there like Cain, still wary of him. Especially regarding his temporary position covering for Cain since his disappearance. The two have some shady history, I barely skid by finding some notes and Forseti's files. Some grim things to gather from there to say the least...Nevertheless, hopefully he's not any more observant..If I remain insignificant in his sights, I'll be able to push just a little more forward and get the truth out, the lab is bound to fall soon--
This game was fun- intriguing, for a time, seeing how far he would go. But now it’s grown dull. He’s grown to be too much of a hinderance, this rat scrabbling futilely at its cage.
