Subject: Unauthorized Procedure Witnessed
From: Dr. Livia Kade
Date: 15/08/2025
Message: Report on unauthorized procedure
Adrian,
I am writing to formally report that I have witnessed an unauthorized procedure involving Experiment 2354, the Overseer.
The procedure appears to have forcibly converted the subject, Hunter Smith, into a digital entity without proper authorization.
This directly violates protocol and was not approved by either yourself or the Head of R&D.
I am concerned about the implications this may have on our research integrity and the safety of personnel involved.
Please advise on the next steps regarding containment, review, and any further reporting requirements.
I await your instructions.
Regards,
Dr. Livia Kade
Dr. Kade,
How *delightful* to receive your prompt report. Your diligence in coming directly to me warms meāfew have the courage to acknowledge their observations and follow proper protocol.
I am, of course, extremely displeased that such a procedure was executed without my approval; the audacity isā¦ impressive, in a way.
Rest assured, while the results are intriguing, next time I will expect **absolute transparency**. Let us ensure containment is flawless and that all anomalies are reported immediately. I am mostā¦ pleased to have such a vigilant ally.
Regards,
Adrian Rhyl
(CEO ā Stellar Industries)
Subject: Coffee Breakā¦ Maybe Something More?

Daniel,
I usually donāt write emails like thisā¦ really, I donāt. But here it goes.
I was wondering if you might like to grab a coffee sometime this week?
Nothing official, justā¦ maybe a little less official than the meetings we usually have.
I thought it might be nice to talk without the pressure of reports, protocols, and the endless paperwork. Just us.
Hope you donāt think this is too forward. Itās really out of character for me, but Iāve been wanting to spend some time together outside of work.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Warmly,
Adrian

Subject: Project: Gateway

Message: Report on unauthorized procedure
Adrian,
Following the recent events of the Hour of Bliss, Iāve been evaluating the factoryās current security vulnerabilities. I propose initiating Project: Gateway, a controlled operation designed to retrieve classified documents using expendable units. Experiment 0001 will serve as our primary agent to navigate and secure sensitive areas of the factory.
Given the sensitive nature of these operations, I wanted to run the plan by you before taking any further steps. If approved, Iāll begin drafting the retrieval protocols and coordinate with the relevant departments to ensure operational efficiency and safety.
Let me know your thoughts.
ā Daniel
Daniel,
Iāve reviewed your proposal for Project: Gateway. I must say, I am quite pleased that you are taking proactive steps following the Hour of Bliss. Utilizing Experiment 0001 is a prudent choice; its capabilities are unmatched for delicate operations of this kind.
Ensure that all retrieval protocols are followed meticulously. Any deviation could compromise not just the operation, but the integrity of the factory itself. I trust your judgment, as always.
Proceed with caution, but proceed nonetheless.

Sunset Release
From: Adrian Rhyl
Date: 20/08/2025
Message: A personal note
Daniel,
Iāve been monitoring the security logs from today, and I must admitā¦ Iām concerned. Your actions during the āSunset Releaseā wereā¦ unorthodox, even for you. Itās clear that your bond with Aiden played a role in your decisions. While I understand the significance of personal connections, I need to remind you that our responsibilities here come first.
Itāsā¦ difficult to see you so influenced by him. I hope you understand that my concern is not just professional. Youāve grown close to Aiden in ways that I cannot ignore, and I must ask you to maintain a balance. I do not want your attachment to compromise the safety of the other experiments or the staff.
Please check in as soon as possible. I need to be sure youāre in control and safe. Remember, Daniel, we rely on your judgmentāand your loyalty. I trust that you will handle this carefully.
ā Adrian Rhyl
Adrian,
Thank you for checking in. Iām alright, truly. The Sunset Releaseā¦ it was intense, Iāll admit, but nothing happened that I couldnāt handle. I appreciate your concern, and I know it comes from a place of careāeven if itās a littleā¦ strict at times. š
Aiden was there, yes, but I promise that my focus hasnāt wavered. I know the risks, and I would never let a personal bond override what needs to be done. That saidā¦ I suppose thereās no harm in admitting that his presence wasā¦ comforting. It doesnāt change my loyalty to the experiments, or to you.
Iāll check in regularly, and Iāll be careful. You donāt need to worryāat least not too much. š
Take care,
ā Daniel Anderson

Message: Dinner Tonight?
Hey Daniel,
I know things have beenā¦ complicated lately, especially with Adrian keeping an eye on everything. But I was thinking maybe we could take a break from all the chaos and have a quiet evening together. Somewhere safe, just the two of us. No labs, no experiments, no bosses watching. Just us.
I know I donāt usually do things like this, and you know meāI like to be careful, strategic. But with you, it feels different. Feels like itās okay to just beā¦ us. Maybe dinner? Or something more spontaneous?
No rush to answer. Just wanted you to know Iām thinking about you. And maybe, for once, we donāt have to worry about Adrianās shadow hovering over us.
-Aiden
Hey Aiden,
Wowā¦ I didnāt expect to get a message like this from you. Honestly, it makes me smile more than I probably should admit. I think youāre rightāwe do need a little escape from all of this. Just the two of us sounds perfect.
Letās do dinner. Somewhere quiet. Somewhere we donāt have to think about Adrian, experiments, or anything else. Just us. I promise Iāll try not to be too awkward about itā¦ though you probably know me better than that already.
Itās nice, knowing we can have moments like thisāeven if the world around us is chaos. Iām looking forward to it.

Effective immediately, I am authorizing Procedure Severance.
Daniel Andersonās ongoing emotional entanglement with Aiden Rhyl has become more than a liability. It is a festering infection within our command structure. The fact that Anderson dares to choose himāthe very leader of the Crimson Veilāover loyalty to Stellar Industries is beyond unacceptable. It is betrayal in its purest form.
Aiden must be cut out of this equation. Permanently. No more subtle distractions, no more indulgent patience. I will not allow my brotherās poison to compromise what I have built. He is a dangerous weakness wrapped in a charming smile, and Anderson is far too dependent, too blinded, to see it. If Daniel resists, he will break in time. Love, after all, is just another chaināand chains can be shattered.
Prepare the necessary teams. Daniel is to be monitored around the clock. If he seeks Aiden, deny him access. If Aiden attempts contact, intercept and erase it. I donāt care what methods you employāsilence them. Their connection ends here.
And should either of them think they can defy meā¦ they will learn that even the brightest flame can be snuffed out beneath my shadow.
