Subject was the youngest of four siblings, and reports suggest the parenting style was 'hands off' as both parents worked (See Appendix 872 for detailed family history). The children were expected to contribute to household chores and perform well academically, although undue pressure was not applied. Teachers describe subject in childhood as being independent and keen to try new things. Subject engaged in numerous hobbies, focusing on several outdoor pursuits such as fell walking, rock climbing, and bird watching. Subject enjoyed biology in school, and indicated an interest in entering the field of conservation science after graduating college, possibly ornithology. Subject also was greatly interested in music. Subject was recommended for the 'Daedalus Scheme for Gifted Youth' at the age of sixteen by his manager at work. This scheme was a front for PROJECT ELEPHANT recruitment, and promised professional mentoring alongside money for college. Following recruitment, Subject's family received mind alteration therapy, and a story painting the subject as having being involved in a motor vehicle accident was spread. [/HIDER] [hider= SUMMARY OF FINDINGS] Subject 8712 shows high level of social awareness, and is highly interested in other people. From the beginning of the interview, subject's outward demanour did not indicate discomfort or anxiety. Reports from staff state that subject engages with others to a high degree during recreational time, particularly those who appear unwillingly isolated. Subject seems to have a concerning level of curiosity, and will frequently enquire about things that Deadalus staff would rather remain confidential. Staff are encouraged to ensure that subject is supervised in order to maintain security. Fortunately, the subject appears to have developed an interest in programming by television personality 'Gordan Ramsay', and spends a large portion of his rec time when not socialising watching reality style television. Staff should encourage this behaviour, as it does not seem to be harmful, and reduces risk posed by subject's observational skills. Intake reports indicate that subject was previously highly creative and engaged in numerous activities. Subject still expresses interest in these activities, however this has been fleeting at best. In interview, subject still appears to posses a high degree of creative thought, however, this is clearly no longer expressed to the degree it once was. Subject may often seem unfocused and disorganised. Despite keen observational skills and curiosity, subject has difficulty maintaining concentration for extended periods of time. Subject reports feelings of tension in regards to the highly structured regimen maintained at this facility and the levels of organisation enforced. Emotional regulation appears to be an area the subject struggles with significantly - whilst no such events occurred during the interview, staff have reported extreme emotional outbursts such as episodes of tearfullness, panic, and anger towards staff and self. Subject expresses guilt and remorse following these episodes, and appears to want to gain better control over them. It is unclear at this time whether this is related to PROJECT ELEPHANT, although it appears this is likely the case.[/hider] [hider= EXTRACT FROM TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW BETWEEN FORMER EMPLOYEE AND SUBJECT REF#8712]L: Good afternoon Kieran, my name is Louise Platte, and I’m part of the team carrying out your ongoing psychological assessment. I thought that today we could talk a little bit about your values and your aspirations in life, does that sound okay to you? K: Y’know, I’d rather not, if that’s cool with the Daedalus Corp? L: Well, what would [i]you[/i] like to discuss? K: I was thinking maybe toast? Or ohh! I know! Climate Change! That one’s always a hit. L: Well, I’m sure we can- K: I was joking. L: Oh, [laughs] very funny. Would you like to begin now? K: Shoot. L: All right, I thought we could start with some of your interests. What did you like to do before you came to this facility? K: Don’t you have all that on file? I’m pretty sure I remember going over that already. L: I’d like to hear it from you, help us get to know each other a little better. K: Err, okay? I had quite a lot of hobbies when I was a kid, my parents gave me a pretty free rein, so I spent a lot of time outdoors with the other kids in the neighbourhood. When I grew up, I got seriously into stuff like rock climbing, fell walking, that kind of outdoorsy bullshit. I had a job at weekends - the thrilling task of dispensing candyfloss slush puppies to little kids at the fair. It was a good laugh though, plus I got money, so you won’t hear me complain about it. On the nerdier side of things, I liked to read a lot - I was working my way through Lord of The Rings. Kinda wish I could’ve finished it… music as well. I played it, I listened to it, talked anyone within range’s ear off about it. I was even in a shitty band. L: What kind of music? K: Oh, you know, typical not-quite nerdy teen in the early 2010’s. Lots of pop-punk, indie, rock kind of stuff - Green Day was a big one, pretty sure it was a requirement at my school to know all the words to ‘Jesus of Suburbia’. L: What was it you liked about that music? K: [i]Probably[/i] the fact that was what all my friends were listening to, and it was the kind of stuff they wanted to play. And yeah, a lot of my friends were girls with heavy eye liner, in case you were wondering. Music’s always been a way of connecting with people for people - there is nothing on this Earth quite like the feeling of playing music with somebody else. With my parents and my family, my tastes were totally different. Mostly dad-rock. Did you know my parents’ first dance was Nickleback’s photograph? I mean [i]come on[/i] guys! Did you not know you were gonna have kids one day? L: Well, each to their own. K: What was yours? L: Pardon? K: You’re wedd- oh shit. Sorry. I didn’t realise you were separated, I should’ve- L: It’s… it’s quite all right. How about we stick to talking about you though. Hm? K: Sorry, of course… L: So, we talked a little about the past, how about the future? K: You mean my shiny-bright future as a lab rat? L: You’re not a- K: They [i]did[/i] tell you I can tell when you’re lying, right? Don’t… don’t try to pretend that we’re here willingly. You’re better than that. L: Let’s talk about goals. What are some of your goals? K: Death? L: I- K: Joking. I don’t need to be put on suicide watch. Again. Goals, huh? I mean, half the time my goal is ‘make it to the end of this thought’. I don’t… I don’t really think about the future very much. It seems a little… [Silence Lasting 01m21s] L: Where did you go? K: Aw shit, that’s what you lot always say when I go all space cadet. Sorry. L: No need to apologise, it happens to the best of us. K: Sure it does. L: How about we move on. Let’s talk about the things you value - what’s important in your life? K: Do you mean existencially…? L: However you want to answer the question is completely fine. K: I’m gonna go ahead and say Chef Ramsay. The guy’s a legend. L: Well… I suppose… K: Are we done here? Mr. Tall-Dark-And-Shooty in the corner over there is starting to look antsy. Is something going down? I love it when something goes down - entertaining af. L: I suppose we’ve covered a lot of ground today. It was nice to meet you Kieran. K: You too Louise. [FOOTSTEPS] K: Oh, I almost forgot, she still loves you, you know. L: What are you- K: Your wife. She still loves you, and you still love her and… I’m [i]reasonably[/i] sure that she’ll give you another chance if you just… let yourself open up a bit more. She loves you, she just can’t deal with all the secrets. I thought… I thought I should tell you. Sorry if that’s overstepping… but… I mean, you know what I can do. Might as well try and help.

Procedures were carried with the aim of increasing sensory abilities in order to detect minute chemical and physiological (E.g. heart rate, body temperature, etc.) shifts in others. Further procedures were carried out to allow subjects to interpret and understand these data. //PRIMING PHASE>> The pliability phase was introduced following pilot tests that individuals responded better to neurological stimulation following repeated application of gradually increasing doses of [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poneratoxin]Poneratoxin[/url] over the course of two years. This treatment was most effective on individuals with indicators of good psychological and emotional health. //SURGICAL PHASE>> Microsensory fibres were surgically implanted below skin in order to allow for detection of chemical shifts. Crispr editing of select brain tissues, along with photogenetic alterations in accordance with pilot tests were carried out in order to allow the brain to process this information. Magnetic and electrical stimulation was also carried out to allow for integration into sensory systems. //TESTING AND ASSESSMENT PHASE>> ONGOING [/hider] [hider=//PROJECT ELEPHANT REF# 87B - TEST GROUP ACTIVITY LOG//] 02/23/2011 - Selection agents dispatched. Circulation of advertisement for pseudo-scheme with applicant specifications including good educational attainment, high level of engagement in extracurricular activities, and good community standing. Application process also caries soft barrier of additional markers of good psychological and emotional well-being. 02/23/2012 - Selection process completed. Subjects, here referred to alphabetically A-F. For full details of process consult appendix item 001. For mainframe subject references consult appendix item 002. 03/01/2012 - Psycho-emotional pliability preparatory procedures commenced. For full details of this procedure consult appendix 003 - 026 03/24/2012 - Subject D is deceased. Cause of death unclear, however, prelimanary reports suggest self-inflicted asphyxiation. Increased security measures implemented for this stage of the trial. 06/13/2013 - Subject B was eliminated at 0200 hours by a member of the security staff in sector H, corridor 2C. Preliminary reports suggest subject B was attempting to leave the facility unauthorised. 03/01/2014 - Full reports from this stage of the trial are included in appedix items 027-102. Subjects A, C, and F were found to demonstrate the intended mental state. Subject E was removed from the trial due to unsatisfactory progress. 03/06/2014 - Surgical Enchancement stage commenced. Neo-Cortical Stimulation - 103-105 Limbic Integration - 106-120 Sensory Implantation I - 121-130 Sensory Implantation II - 131-140 Enchanced Neo-Cortex - Stem Integration Procedure - 140-180 Neocortical Enchancement - 181- 313 11/03/2014 - Subject A entered status epilepticus following the Enchanced Neo-Cortex - Stem integration procedure. Upon failure of benzodiazepine therapy, barbiturates were administered. Upon failure of barbiturates, a general anaesthetic was administered and subject A was placed on ventilation. See Apendix 314 11/19/2014 - Subject A was confirmed to have suffered brain death. Life support was withdrawn. See Appendix 315 12/25/2015 - Surgical Enchancement phase of trial completed. Subjects C and F were found to have responded positively to this phase of the trial. 01/01/2016 - Subjects transferred to testing and training department following complete neurological assesment. Subject C was found to have suffered brain damage to an unknown, but apparently severe extent. Subject F had no evident neurological damage, although test subject F was found to differ significantly from original results, all was within the expected range.

The subject does not appear to be able to apply the skill on retroactive targets. [/hider] [Hider= Assesment Team Report on Additional Abilities] Subject has demonstrated skill in a remarkable variety of activities. Upon intake, interests ranging from piano to sports, and self identifying as a 'twitcher' [NOTE - TWITCHER. NOUN. COLLOQUIAL TERM FOR SOMEONE WHO WATCHES BIRDS]. This is unsurprising, given that subjects for Project Elephant were deliberately selected from a pool of psycologically stable high achievers. Following the pliability priming phase of project elephant, subject has expressed little interest in engaging in most of these activities. It is unclear whether the subject retains these cultivated abilities following neurological alteration. [/hider] [/hider]
