Journal 1 - Testing Area 1 [Text]

So, now that power's back, I will be gathering as much information as I can from this bunker's terminals and will make it available here in the network. It'll take some time but I believe the more we know about this place, the better chances we have of surviving it, and the outside world should we manage to breach and go outside. I'll keep posting anything new that I find in seperate logs for timeline's sake and maybe I'll load up a master file once I'm done investigating.

[The message stops and after a day, new information can be seen on the post.]

First terminal I've gather info from is the First Testing area... I can't say the findings were pleasant to say the least... but information is information. Read at your discretion.


Subject pool has begun displaying increased agitation following temporary escape of subject 002-03. Prolonged increased baseline sympathetic nervous system activity may be detrimental to future trials. Virus modifications have not accounted for resulting alterations in immunoresponse. I’ve suggested to the Overseer increased monitoring of baseline health of subject pool through routine medical examinations. An excuse of a newfound disease in the vault resulting in the state of subject 002-03 and required testing to control for potential exposure should quiet the pool for a time, though not forever. We must increase testing speed. We cannot allow this branch of research to be prematurely ended due to a fluke.

When I find out who left that door unsealed I’m going to kill them.


Seems the people running the place were keen on experimenting on those stuck here so I guess we should feel lucky we avoided that.... Unless this whole mess is part of their twisted experiments. While virus tests were common under strict suppervision to develop vaccines and countermeasures, the information on this terminal points to less ideal reasons for these tests.

Subject remained coherent until time of death. Cause of death: self-inflicted injury. Levels of aggression increased to unanticipated heights; sedatives remained ineffective. Suggests enhanced resistance to chemical exposure in addition to radiation.

A technical success. Pity there’s no one to share the champagne with.

... I don't think I need to really expound on this entry. Honestly, this place just gets more and more fucked up. But it does make me uncomfortable since it matches virus experiments from fiction and those never ended well... and these idiots succeeded on some points. I really don't want to see what it was they managed to create, or whatever they kept doing.

Fucking project Rescan. He's going to do it. The Overseer has slowly shifted resources towards their division for weeks and now that asshole's finally getting his way.

[corrupted]

I won’t let it happen. I’ll prove this modification works. With or without the Overseer granting us additional subjects.

Dissension amongst the ranks matches up with the mutiny stuff Captain Simmons spoke of and frankly, doesn't surprise me that this mess of a ruined vault was the outcome... Still, this place has more dark secrets that the fancy and happy video failed to mention.

That was all I managed to recover from this terminal. I'll keep working on the others and link up another entry should I find anything of value.

Good girl.

[He raises his eyebrows.] You know, from that shit you found on the terminal, I'm really not surprised the locals decided to rebel. All a bunch of experimental subjects, huh...
wildguardian: (distance)

cw, mention of test subject suicide

[personal profile] wildguardian 2020-06-29 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That bit about pretending their infected subject was some poor bastard who'd caught a scary disease, because he got out once before he gave up and bashed his own head in? Yeah.

[Of course they would've kept that kind of material from the people they were keeping around as lab rats. Lab rats don't tend to foresee their fates and pick up weapons.]

I wonder how they all ended up dead, though.
wildguardian: (investigation)

[personal profile] wildguardian 2020-06-29 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, yeah. It'd be good to put that to bed, but right now it doesn't sound like it's something that's gonna come back and bite us.

Probably.

[He half-smiles. It doesn't look too different from Saya's grimace.]

Might as well find out and then we'll know what the odds are that we need to worry about it!
wildguardian: (working it out)

[personal profile] wildguardian 2020-06-29 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you're right.

Interesting question, there... [He glances away, at the rec room door, at the kitchen; his restless gaze isn't really focusing, because what he's absorbed with is inside his head.]

If our memories got messed with, is it so they can test how people prepared for the worst handle a situation that squashed a bunch of people who expected happy families underground?
wildguardian: (taken aback)

[personal profile] wildguardian 2020-07-01 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, if they were keeping backup subjects in cold storage, who's to say they weren't doing experiments on us too?

I lean towards theory one! Maybe not all of this, but the experiments for sure. Otherwise, I might grant you one or two sadists in the bunch of scientists they grabbed, but not every jackass in a white coat is just waiting for the opportunity to play Dr. Frankenstein.

Out of sight, out of mind? Sure! Why not.

[He still thinks it's the most likely answer, but that doesn't mean it needs to be said outright. It won't make a difference anyway.]

But let me know what you find.

[That said, he's getting to his feet.]

Right now, all we can say for sure is that there were at least a few sadistic assholes in the mix.
