Patient 80002 was observed moving at 3:45. He rose from his
slouching position in the holding chair and sat up in a neutral position,
looked at the west-facing camera, and held eye contact with the camera until
Dr. H---- entered the room.
Dr. H. was roused at 7:35, decontaminated, and given a short
debriefing of the events of the past seven hours. After looking over the notes
for the morning, Dr. H. promptly entered the cell at 8:16.
TRANSCRIPT 8:16
Dr. H. – My aides tell me that the inoculation I gave you
last night was “insufficient.” To be honest, I was hoping to sleep in a little
and monitor you later in the day, but I guess this is just as fine.
80002 moves for the first time in 4.5 hours by looking Dr.
H. in the eyes.
Dr. H. spends the next two minutes looking over 80002,
writing notes, and muttering to himself.
80002 does not move during this time.
Dr. H. stands in front of 80002 and begins his
interrogation.
Dr. H. – Well, now that the preliminary observations are
done with, we can get to the meat of this conversation. Who are you?
Dr. H. jabs his pen into 80002’s right shoulder. No damage
recorded.
80002 remains silent for one minute.
Dr. H. – Why did you not resist capture?
80002 remains silent for four more minutes.
Dr. H. spends this time by circling 80002 and prodding him
with his pen in various places, including his right temple, his left hand, and
the nape of his neck. No damage recorded.
After the four minutes of silence, Dr. H. walks over to his
work chair, drags it directly in front of the holding chair, facing away from
80002, and sits down, facing the holding chair and leveling his eyes with those
of 80002.
Dr. H. – Why are you not answering my questions?
80002 – Because I like watching you squirm.
Dr. H. visibly flinches at the sound of 80002’s voice. Audio
recordings were sent to Drs. J---- and M------ for analysis, which determined
that severe damage had likely been done to 80002’s larynx, despite no damage having
been recorded in the initial observation the previous evening.
80002 leaned back in the holding chair as much as the
restraints would allow, and began drumming his fingers repeatedly against the
armrests.
Dr. H. hesitated for twenty seconds, recorded more
notations, and then promptly left the cell for decontamination at 8:24.
Surveillance logs show him interrogating one of the interns assigned to the
research of 80002 for a full thirty minutes before retiring to his sleeping
quarters at 9:03. 80002 did not move from his position, however, he did close
his eyes. No evidence is shown that he actually rested during the following
period, as breathing remained consistent with an alert state.
Dr. H. rested for five hours, and after rising did nothing
of note beyond question more interns. At 18:34, Dr. H. performed his mandatory
evening observation of 80002, during which 80002’s eyes opened. Neither Dr. H.
nor 80002 said anything during this time, after which Dr. H. administered the
evening’s inoculation, Serum 272, and left the cell for decontamination at
18:40. 80002 did not move significantly during or after this time, although
surveillance picked up what might be a smile on 80002’s face after Dr. H. left.
This was noted and added to Dr. H.’s briefings for the following morning.
Dr. H. conscripted a bottle of spiced rum from the Doctors’
Quarters for the night, and multiple surveillance cameras saw him drunkenly
wandering the facility until 23:14, where he returned to his room. 80002 closed
his eyes at 18:41, but once again evidence of his state being altered from an
awake state were absent, as breathing remained steady and consistent with an
alert individual.
