Summary: During a scheduled evaluation and stress test involving Experiment 2199 (ASTRO), Scientist Daniel was not present due to illness. Within minutes of the session starting, the subject displayed extreme agitation, refusal to comply with instructions, and aggressive behavior resulting in injuries to three personnel. The test was forcibly aborted.

Details: The incident marks a repeating pattern where Daniel’s absence correlates with unpredictable behavioral shifts in Astro. This aligns with prior security reports and personal logs noting an unhealthy emotional fixation on Daniel.

📝 Attached Interview Transcript – Handler M. Kessler

Interviewer: C. Lambert  
Interviewee: M. Kessler – Behavioral Handler

Lambert: Walk me through what happened when the session began.

Kessler: Astro came online as usual. But the moment he scanned the room and didn’t detect Daniel, his entire posture changed. Shoulders tightened. Static hum increased.

Lambert: And what did he say?

Kessler: He asked, “Where is he?” We told him Daniel was unavailable. He repeated it — louder. Then the lights flickered and... he screamed. Not in volume, but in tone. It was synthetic but angry.

Lambert: What followed?

Kessler: He lunged at Dr. Howser first. Just—full force, arm out. She got a concussion. He didn’t stop until someone triggered the override.

Lambert: Did he say anything else?

Kessler: Just one thing: “He promised he’d never leave again.”

    

Requested Action: We recommend Daniel be reinstated for all Astro-related operations until a long-term psychological evaluation can be completed. Restrict all unsupervised testing involving Experiment 2199.

Summary: Neburo's interactions with Daniel have become concerning. Multiple unauthorized appearances in secure zones were observed. This includes entering Daniel’s living quarters without clearance or containment breach alarms triggering.

Requested Action: Temporary suspension of all unsupervised Neburo observation. Further review required by Blacksteel Division.
