Subject EXPT-2199 was created through full brain-to-core consciousness transfer from a deceased Stellar Industries employee identified only as Ethan. Prior employment records mark Ethan as a security officer for the Game Station. No familial or interpersonal connections were recorded to Daniel, who was assigned as cognitive behavioral analyst. Despite this, Subject immediately displayed a significant attachment to Daniel post-deployment.
The subject was placed within a high-durability entertainment-grade chassis modeled after Stellar’s mascot "Astro." Internal logs confirm no memory recovery; emotional tethering appears to be procedural or accidental imprinting due to core boot-time exposure.
Note from Observation Team: All personnel are to avoid addressing Daniel with any formal prefix (e.g. “Dr.”). Use of any title appears to confuse Subject, who has exclusively associated the simple name “Daniel” with comfort and recognition.
Test 01 – Motion Calibration:
Success rate: 76%. Subject refused arm calibration until Daniel arrived. After verbal prompt (“Can you do it for me?”), compliance increased to 100%. Reflex response delayed by 0.4s without Daniel’s voice.
Test 04 – Environmental Simulation (Zero-G):
Subject performed above baseline. Audio logs recorded Subject humming a tune later matched to the “Stellar Youth Anthem,” a pre-calamity promotional song. Subject requested Daniel join simulation. Test concluded prematurely after Subject refused to continue solo.
Test 06 – Emotional Cue Response:
Various staff simulated distress. Subject showed no response. When Daniel was prompted to act injured, Subject ran across test floor, bypassing safety protocol barriers. During containment, Subject whispered: “You okay?”
Emotional tethering is creating unpredictable behavior patterns. While Subject’s raw power and responsiveness are unmatched, fixation on Daniel creates risk of disobedience and emotional escalation. Multiple scientists have suggested temporary reassignment, but internal memos show Daniel has refused to disengage from the project.
Recommendation:
Maintain Daniel’s oversight with increased camera coverage and secondary emergency controls. Prepare temporary memory separation module in case of critical outburst.
Status: Active
Classification: Nebular Hostile | Tier-IV
Former Identity: [REDACTED – HUMAN SUBJECT]
Recorded Appearance: Male entity composed of cosmic vapor and fragmented stellar matter, typically humanoid silhouette with a gaseous lower half and glowing eye cores. Height varies. Voice vibrates as if layered in harmonics.
Neburo is a sentient, nebula-based entity developed as part of the Void-Psych Project, designed to explore cosmic empathy, memory-binding, and artificial emotional imprinting. He exhibits extremely volatile behavior toward staff but shows profound protectiveness and emotional response to one individual: Researcher Daniel.
Observed to show deep emotional attachment to Daniel. Despite no direct memory of human life, Neburo responds strongly to his presence and voice. He has broken protocol, containment, and even rematerialized across wings of the facility solely to be near Daniel. He refers to him by name only, never with titles such as “Doctor” or “Researcher.”
Theories suggest that Daniel’s consistent defense of Neburo during early development may have formed an imprint — though no emotional interaction is recorded from Neburo's time as a human.
Neburo cannot be held by conventional means. Emotional and psychic stasis fields are required. Direct eye contact may trigger memory hallucinations. Avoid discussing Daniel in Neburo’s presence unless authorized.
“Do not sever what little humanity he has left. Where Daniel walks, Neburo follows. Remove one, and the other becomes untethered.”
