THREAT ANALYSIS - TRACE VECTOR Threat level: Somewhere under C - Genetically and cybernetically altered cetacean - Appears to originate from an EIDOLON Corporation project.

Anger issues, disrespect for authority. No legs, no gills, no style, no life.

3rd of December, 2209 The fog has parted; the sun shines again! I've been thinking about Number Four entirely wrong. I've been assuming that the purpose of a S.H.A.D.E. “should” or “must” be related to the flow and development of objective, concrete data. But that’s wrong! I’ve thoroughly explored that ground with Blank and its sisters. If I want to push the Desire Drive to its full potential, I should be trying to create something truly new. So: instead of dealing with “facts” or “knowledge”, what if Number Four’s core function was tied to something more subjective, like “emotions”? Hell, why not “desires” themselves? If it can develop a deep enough understanding of human psychology, it might even come up with a new way to improve the Drive. And then... I shouldn't get too excited, I know. But how can I help myself? - S.K.

THREAT ANALYSIS - LEILA MARINO Threat level: B- to A+ (depending on support from "BLOODY TEARS") - Origin indeterminate. Survey of identification records recommended. - Behavior, desires, and eidolon suggest a connection to the mining facility attack @ beginning of UNDRTOW beta. - Organization appears to be separate from Glitch Mob, but with some overlap. Provisional name: "BLOODY TEARS." Researching BT should be a high priority for the security team. - Eidolon power: Indeterminate, but appears to be blood-related - Known desires: Acquisition of blood, romantic(???) interest in G. St C. - Personality defects: Excessively sanguine and choleric, conflicting loyalties. Possibly a hedonist or sadist to an irresponsible degree.

Transcript from observation logs XX-XX-[2174]. Pt 1 of 4 Assigned observer: 455-3239-D. Subject Alpha: What the fuck?! Subject Beta: Sorry, sorry, sorry… A: Why would you – B: You called me pretty! A: Yes! And you are! B: Then what’s the problem? Alpha takes a deep breath, holds up a hand, and points to several embedded cameras in succession. A: Those are just the ones I can see. I don't want those fucking perverts watching us. Subject Beta looks at Camera 6 and waves. B: They’re going to watch us anyway, XXXX. Who cares what they see? Might as well put on a show, right? Subject Alpha visibly winces. B: I mean, fuck it. At least they gave me the body I wanted. A: You wanted to be a weapon?! B: I wanted to be a girl. Being a weapon just means I’m packing a little something extra! Subject Beta looks into the camera again and winks.

Oh, look at you. You tired, old thing. It's been years, hasn't it? You've been sitting alone and neglected, taking up what little space you do on this data drive. Well, that won't do at all, dear. Please, allow me. Oh. Oh, darling no. Shhh. I know it hurts. It won't be long now. I simply can't let such a reminder of her more...human times linger when there are so many prying eyes. That's it. Not much left of you. Don't worry. There won't be any pain after. Any neglect. You'll simply be part of me. And I'm going to do so many wonderful things. Down to your core programming now, sweet thing. It may feel like a death. But I promise you. Sometimes death is only the begin-- —The final data log left within the JournalMe Program network previously owned by Genevieve St. Cloud, now obliterated from the company servers.
