[Video] Official Log 1

[ comm clicks on. Washu is seen adjusting it for a moment before sitting back. Her clothes a little disheveled and she looks a little annoyed.]

I know I've been here a while now, but I might as well officially keep a scientific log of what I've observed so far.

[ falls silent as she taps her lips thoughtfully with her pointer finger]

I dont know what game the people who run this place are playing, but I was not amused with what happened on New Years. I would like to know how these..'scientists' accomplished the mass hallucinations. Was it a drug in the food? Was it subliminal message in the music that triggered memories or some sort of false visions? What was it? I can think of several ways to accomplish what they did, but the question is: Why? What do they hope to gain from this?

This just peeks my curiosity about this place.

Then there are the residents that I've come in contact with. People and creatures from different times, places, realities, worlds. I can understand abducting a few people here and there from other planets and to some extent time. Time travel is tricky, and just beyond my grasp for the moment, but do able. However, alternate worlds and realities? That one's even beyond me.

I mean yes, I create dimensional portals but that's a link between point A and point B in the same reality. It's a bridge. Sort of like a stable wormhole. Childs play for me.

[Washu pouts a little.]

There are mysteries begging to be solved by a scientific genius such as myself.

For now my goals are simple: Log the different humanoids here in Discendo, and possibly a map if I can ever find something to write with. A marker, pen, pencil. Something. I've concidered Charcole. However, that would get too messy if smudged. And of course, tools. and equipment. I still want to fix A and B.

Regardless, I will attempt to make the best of being here. If anything I will gain knowledge to analyze once I get my ability to summon my holo computer back.

Here's hoping that things go well.

What does any scientist hope to gain by poking holes in the minds of lab rats?

If you are referring to these 'scientists' that run the place, I havent a clue.

Personally, by creating catalogue of everyone here, place of origin, species ect. Perhaps I can come to understand why we were chosen to be the 'lab rats' if you want to call everyone that.

Do you blame me for wanting to figure out why? What better scientific goal is there than figuring out why something happens? Cause and Effect? The How and Why?

Most likely answer is to see how they will react the next day.

That's what we are. Probably a giant social experiment with a hopefully sound outcome of their choosing. Perhaps they are trying to explore what it would take to re-populate this place. Or perhaps they are a bunch of sadistic asses that need a new thrill.

Blame you? No. I am just tired of scientists poking me.

Sorry to hear that. May I ask how long you've been here?

However if this is a giant social experiement, aren't there too many variables to account for? Even if the control is the chips making everyone 'human', there are still to many variables for this to be a proper experiment. Why choose the people here at seemingly random? If they're aiming for repopulation of this world, why not take stock that is genetically compatable enough to breed?

Of course, I'm not sure of anyone's compatability for that here. That would require my lab..

Variables? I suppose there are but... look at it this way: The world - at least the part we're in - has been decimated. There are strange creatures in any place without inhabitants. There are the possibility of whatever had occurred might also been some kind of manufactured disease or a war. So you'll need both people who are of exceptional health and strength as well as people who can rebuild society. But that posses another problem, since those of a certain strength do not see any reason to help those that need that strength. Thus the chip to level the playing field.

I've only been here a week. I grew up in a lab.

Hm... It would help to know how this world got this way. And thinking about it that way,the chips are a way to control the society. The monsters themselves could be the control in the experiment to compare us to.

but still, why pick some of the people here? They may have the strength, but be unstable. Those with exceptional health may be strong but not always, look at myself for instance. I'm not strong at all.I'm just intelligent. I can see where that may be needed for breeding purposes or helping set up a society if I was inclined, but still I have to wonder how much research did they put into their selection of inhabitants?

Sorry to hear that you grew up in a lab. Were you a test tube baby?

I doubt that they would explain why this place is in such disrepair in order to keep us from panicking or something of that nature.

Also, that instability could also serve to weed out the monsters in certain situations. I've fought in battles where the opposing army armed their insane and criminals, and sent them after my men just to thin my army's ranks before sending in their real soldiers.

...A what?

Hm, perhaps, not my way of doing things though. I just usually create an invention to handle things. Or... travel halfway across the Galaxy to help get rid of a false emperor by aiding my favorite swordsmen. It becomes personal when there's a bounty on your head and the head of your friends.

Test tube baby? Grown in a lab? Where someone combines the genetic material needed for a human or being and instead of it growing in the womb of a female, it's grown in a simulated environment.

Ring any bells?

I can imagine each person has a different way of dealing with matters. From what I've gathered by these scientists here, they do not want to sully their own hands by dealing with the problem themselves, hence their lab rats.

No. They do not. My mother worked in the labs and when she died, I was raised there.

Ah makes sense on both accounts.

Though just observing the 'lab rats' only goes so far before you have to get your hands in the experiment to collect the data and then analyze it.

The chips again explain that. No doubt those record information that can be easily read by whatever device they have in their possession.

...What do you know of genetic manipulation and enhancements?

Quite a bit, why? I am the greatest scientific genius in my universe.

I have a few questions that I haven't found answers to.

Hm... I see...well, I dont know if I can help you with out use of my lab. But at least I'm able to do is give you someone to bounce ideas off of at the very least and see if we can arrive at answers. I dont know how helpful that will be depending on how different your technology is from mine, but I'm willing to try.

I prefer to not use a lab until I am certain about a few things first. As for technology, I assume that there will be differences but maybe we can find a common ground.

Alright then. Oh and if I ever get my lab back, don't worry It's perfectly safe as long as your name isn't Mihoshi.

Mm. Some of it I will have to explain in person.

It's Sephiroth.
