    "Day 33: Problematic symptoms developing in Patient X. Current fluctuations from the implant are causing unwanted signals in the somatosensory cortex. The patient is expressing aggressive behavior as a result, presumably due to the interference of the implant on normal sensory function. It is unknown what is causing the fluctuations.

    Day 45: Patient X sedated following a violent outburst that injured a staff member. fMRI scans indicate an uptick in activity in the premotor cortex compared to the previous scan four days ago. Patient X not responding well to the Brain-Computer Interface. Violent aggression may not be consciously controllable.

    Day 46: Patient X escaped Secure Room Alpha. Lockdown initiated. Quarantine measures are now in effect. There is a loud banging on the lab door. This might be my last journal entry. Before I leave this Earth, please let the shareholders know I created value for them."

        And that wasn’t even real. They howled about a fake scenario, and then praise the actual event happening.

          large number of conservative/rightwing blabbering about others, pointing fingers and blaming various imagionary boogiemen, with time somehow manages to endup as their projection. it’s becoming a rule.

        The right wingers were not angry about microchips in the blood. They were angry about secret, non-consensual, microchips in the blood.

        Please don’t make me say these stupid disclaimers: I don’t think covid vaccines contain microchips.

        Anyway, it was about consent, not a moral outrage at implanted chips. A moral outrage at secret microchips implanted by government directive under cover of emergency powers.

          they were sour about everything covid related. it was all made up, it wasn’t real, but china made it, masks were problem, they couldn’t breathe, secret cabala, fascism, vaccinations was bill gates’s genocide chip implating for mind control, and they were concerned about consent. sure.

          they insisted on nonsense because they didn’t believe it, as they are neck-deep in conspiracy theories and delusion.

      Security Log day 42: Our request for a proper security door was denied. “Just buy a master lock, it’s cheaper” was the reply.

      Oh well, I’ll make something work. Right after my quick meeting with HR.

        That especially applies to Elon, who claimed that Douglas Adams inspired his dream of creating an AI. The same Douglas Adams that only wrote about AIs that were faulty, assholes or both.

      June 9th: Of the original four dozen, over 75% are now deceased. Strangely, no clear patterns have emerged as of yet.

      Batch 5 seems to have no common discernible effect on any specific group though the men seem slightly more resilient than the women.

      June 18: And only five left now. Two men and three women.

      The man in room five is a fascinating case. Physically, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with him. No cellular anomalies, nothing.

      December 24th: I was in the mess. It was about half past ten when we heard the first explosion.

      The ones at the front ran straight into the gas. It was horrible.

      It was the man in room five. I couldn’t have known. The chemical supplies, grease solvents, ammonia, fertilizer. He’d been making things with them.

      Mustard gas… And napalm.

      And in the yard, I saw him. He had the flames behind him. He was naked.

      He looked at me…

      As if I were an insect. Oh god. As if I were something mounted on a slide.

      He looked at me.

      The device looks like it was chewed by a wild animal parts of the board is missing but you may be able to recover some data…

      Day 1 mission log: We have arrived at the lab to try and figure out why the scientists have ceased communication. We found the door damaged and pried open. There is a broken loader out in front of the lab. we are setting up a perimeter.

      Day 2: We were woken in the very early morning to the sounds of something large in the bush. We heard a scream and upon investigation Johnson was ripped apart and partially eaten. we have implemented a more strict watch schedule.

      Day 3: we have finally managed to enter the lab. We lost Johansen and Richardson last night. Hopefully we can figure out what happened and what is out here.

      —Data corruption detected—

      Day 7: Mother of god there was blood everywhere. doors ripped open, bodies and body parts everywhere. There are runes drawn in blood on the walls. There is some sort of device that is projecting a shimmering portal, I’m going to investigate it more and try to find my missing team members…

      — Unable to recover any more files, CRC check sums have failed, data corruption 98% —
