Date Reported: [REDACTED]

Involved Parties: Crimson Cult, Daniel Anderson (Head of R&D), Adrian Rhyl (Leader of Crimson Cult)

Incident Summary: The Crimson Cult, a previously unrecorded organization with the goal of liberating all tortured souls (i.e., Stellar Industry Experiments), successfully kidnapped Head of R&D, Daniel Anderson. The abduction was executed by the Cult Leader, Adrian Rhyl, older brother of the company CEO, Adam Rhyl. Daniel was held in the Crimson Cult's confines for an entire year.

Operational Consequences: This event caused a significant increase in hostility among several Experiments, prompting Stellar Industry to designate this period as the "Accursed Year." Experiment containment protocols were upgraded following this incident, and the department officially notes that the Experiments exhibited heightened aggression and unpredictability for the duration.

Behavioral Notes: Daniel Anderson reportedly chose to remain within the Crimson Cult’s confines after the second week, resisting return until forcibly extracted. Psychological evaluations indicate that memory suppression was employed on Daniel post-extraction to prevent erasure of critical operational knowledge. Notably, the Cult’s Leader, Adrian Rhyl, successfully executed a seduction protocol resulting in mutual romantic attachment. Consequently, any auditory mention of the name "Adrian" triggers uncontrollable crying in Daniel, the underlying cause suppressed and unrecoverable under current security protocols.

Follow-Up Actions: - Reinforced security protocols for high-value personnel - Updated containment procedures for Experiments with increased hostility markers - Psychological monitoring of Daniel Anderson for residual trauma or compromised obedience - Crimson Cult remains active and under surveillance; potential future incidents anticipated

Notes: The incident remains one of the most severe breaches in Stellar Industry history, revealing vulnerabilities both in human personnel management and Experiment behavioral predictability. Crimson Cult methodology is under classified review.

Interview ID: IIR-INT-DA-CRIMSON

Location: Recovery Wing, Stellar Industry

Interviewer: [REDACTED]

Subject: Daniel Anderson — Head of R&D

---

Interviewer: Daniel, can you explain why you did not attempt to escape the Crimson Cult after the second week?

Daniel: …I could have left. I know that. I just— I didn’t want to. Not really. Adrian kept saying I didn’t have to rush. That I could breathe there. And when he looks at me like that it’s hard to think about anything else.

Interviewer: Look at you how?

Daniel: Like I matter. Like I’m not just the guy who fixes things after they break. He listens. He *actually* listens. Also— sorry— he’s ridiculously hot. I know that’s not relevant but it keeps coming up in my head.

Interviewer: Please remain focused.

Daniel: I am focused. I’m focused on Adrian. Have you *seen* him? His muscles aren’t just for show. He moves like he knows exactly how strong he is. And when he hugs me— usually without a shirt— he’s so warm. Not metaphorically. Physically warm. It makes everything feel… safe. Quiet.

Interviewer: Did Adrian Rhyl influence your decision to stay?

Daniel: Influence? No. I chose to stay because I *wanted* to stay with him. He didn’t force anything. He just— existed. And I wanted to be near that. Near *him*.

Interviewer: You are aware this is a hostile organization?

Daniel: He’s not hostile to me. He’s gentle when he thinks no one’s watching. He jokes, he complains about the world, he gets this look when he’s thinking too hard— I think I fell for him the first time he laughed at something stupid I said.

Interviewer: Daniel, this transcript is being recorded.

Daniel: Good. Let them hear it. I don’t regret it. If you ask me to choose between going back and staying with Adrian— I already made that choice.

Evaluator Note: Subject displays intense emotional fixation on Adrian Rhyl. Persistent romantic ideation, lowered threat awareness, and voluntary compliance with hostile captors observed. Memory suppression recommended immediately due to compromised operational judgment.

Incident ID: IIR-INC-CR-07

Date Logged: During Accursed Year

Location: Crimson Cult Confines — Inner Quarters

Primary Subject: Daniel Anderson (Head of R&D)

Secondary Subject: Adrian Rhyl (Crimson Cult Leader)

---

Incident Summary:

Subject Daniel Anderson experienced a complete psychological collapse following prolonged emotional strain, internal conflict, and extended separation from Stellar Industry authority structures. The breakdown escalated into uncontrolled crying, dissociation, and loss of situational awareness.

Detailed Report:

Witnesses report Daniel becoming non-responsive to verbal communication. Subject was observed sitting on the floor, knees drawn inward, crying continuously. Attempts to ground or calm the subject by Crimson Cult members failed.

Crying persisted for an extended duration, during which external monitoring systems detected a security breach forming elsewhere in the facility. Daniel did not react to alarms, raised voices, or physical proximity.

Upon Adrian Rhyl entering the room, Daniel immediately ceased vocal distress. Subject stood unsteadily, approached Adrian, and collapsed against him.

Daniel clung to Adrian in a manner described as childlike, burying his face into Adrian’s chest. Subject remained silent afterward, displaying slow breathing and visible calming. Adrian did not issue commands and instead remained stationary, allowing Daniel to hold onto him.

Witnesses compared the interaction to that of a distressed child seeking comfort from a parental figure. Daniel did not release Adrian for several minutes.

---

Psychological Assessment:

This event confirms that Adrian Rhyl functions as Daniel Anderson’s primary emotional stabilizer. Removal of Adrian’s presence correlates with severe psychological destabilization.

Subject exhibits emotional dependency strong enough to override environmental danger awareness. This dependency is assessed as non-artificial in origin.

---

Recommendations:

Immediate memory suppression advised upon retrieval. Continued exposure to Adrian Rhyl deemed incompatible with Daniel Anderson’s executive role. Note: Full memory erasure not authorized due to subject’s clearance level.

Incident Title: Helios Fuel Burnout & Red Giant Manifestation

Associated Experiment: Experiment 1188 — Helios

Location: Containment Sector D-4

Severity: Catastrophic

---

Incident Summary:

This incident marks the first recorded occurrence of Experiment 1188 (Helios) entering a previously undocumented high-energy state later designated as the Red Giant Phase.

The event was triggered by complete depletion of Helios’s internal hydrogen reserves. Prior to this incident, it was assumed that secondary helium conversion would stabilize the subject without environmental consequence.

---

Detailed Report:

At approximately 02:17 facility time, Helios exhibited sudden behavioral changes, including increased agitation, elevated internal luminosity, and hostile verbal output. Sensors detected rapid internal fusion instability.

Within minutes, Helios’s plasma core shifted in coloration from standard solar-gold to deep crimson. Temperature readings exceeded safe containment thresholds.

Helios began forcibly converting internal helium into heavier elements, causing a massive energy spike. Containment walls failed almost immediately.

Sector D-4 was exposed to sustained thermal output for several minutes. All structural material within the sector was reduced to ash. No recoverable equipment remained.

---

Aftermath:

Following the energy release, Helios entered a dormant, death-like state. Subject became non-responsive and exhibited minimal thermal output.

Reintroduction of hydrogen fuel restored partial consciousness after several hours. Helios showed no memory of the destruction caused.

---

Key Discovery:

This incident confirmed the existence of Helios’s Red Giant Phase — a survival response initiated during hydrogen depletion. The phase is now classified as an existential facility threat.

---

Recommendations:

Continuous hydrogen monitoring is now mandatory. Fuel reserves must never fall below minimum thresholds.

Subject is to be isolated immediately upon early signs of crimson luminosity. Full facility evacuation protocols to be initiated if Red Giant indicators reappear.

Incident Title: Blue Moon Emission Event

Associated Experiment: Experiment 1185 — Atlas

Location: Facility-Wide

Severity: Facility Neutralization (Non-Destructive)

---

Incident Summary:

During a documented astronomical Blue Moon event, Experiment 1185 (Atlas) underwent an unexpected chromatic and behavioral shift. The subject’s normally white lunar hue transitioned to a deep blue coloration.

Immediately following this change, Atlas began emitting Blue Smoke at an uncontrolled rate.

---

Detailed Report:

At approximately 21:42 facility time, atmospheric sensors detected the rapid spread of a low-lying blue fog throughout multiple sectors. The compound was identified as Blue Smoke, previously classified as a controlled sleep-inducing compound.

Emission volume exceeded all prior testing parameters. Ventilation systems proved ineffective, as Atlas continued production uninterrupted.

Within minutes, all personnel across the facility lost consciousness. No panic response, distress signals, or emergency overrides were recorded.

The fog persisted at a consistent density throughout the night cycle, creating a uniform, blue-tinted haze across all floors.

---

Outcome:

All personnel regained consciousness simultaneously at dawn. No injuries, fatalities, or neurological side effects were reported.

Notably, no containment breaches, experiment agitation, or hostile activity occurred during the event. All experiments remained dormant.

---

Post-Incident Observations:

Atlas returned to his standard coloration at sunrise. Subject expressed confusion but no distress when questioned.

When asked about the event, Atlas stated only: “The night was loud. I made it quiet.”

---

Assessment:

This incident demonstrates Atlas’s capacity to induce total facility-wide sedation without malicious intent. The Blue Moon appears to amplify Atlas’s abilities beyond intended limits.

Unlike other Δ-class incidents, ER-Δ04 resulted in complete stability rather than destruction.

---

Recommendations:

Astronomical events are now to be logged alongside experiment monitoring schedules. Atlas testing is suspended during Blue Moon cycles unless Daniel Anderson is present.

Incident Title: Blood Moon Nightmare Event

Associated Experiment: Experiment 1185 — Atlas

Location: Facility-Wide

Severity: Psychological Catastrophe

---

Incident Summary:

During a documented Blood Moon astronomical event, Experiment 1185 (Atlas) experienced a complete behavioral inversion. The subject’s lunar head and body hue shifted from standard white to deep crimson.

Shortly after the chromatic shift, Atlas entered an aggressive, uncontrolled state lasting the full duration of the Blood Moon.

---

Detailed Report:

At approximately 22:03 facility time, Atlas began emitting a modified form of Blue Smoke. The compound appeared visually altered, displaying a dark red coloration.

Atmospheric saturation occurred rapidly. All personnel and active systems were exposed before containment measures could be enacted.

As with previous sleep-inducing events, all personnel lost consciousness. However, unlike ER-Δ04, subjects did not enter a restful state.

Neurological monitoring recorded extreme REM activity. Subjects experienced vivid, prolonged nightmares and distress responses while remaining fully unconscious and unable to awaken.

Attempts to stimulate waking through alarms, shocks, and chemical counteragents were unsuccessful.

---

Atlas Behavior:

Throughout the Blood Moon event, Atlas exhibited erratic movement, incoherent vocalizations, and repeated fluctuations in luminance.

Subject did not respond to commands, restraint attempts, or sedation. Daniel Anderson was not present during this incident.

---

Resolution:

Upon the Blood Moon’s conclusion, Atlas’s coloration returned to normal. Red Smoke emission ceased immediately.

All personnel regained consciousness simultaneously. Many subjects reported lingering psychological distress, recurring nightmares, and feelings of dread for several weeks afterward.

---

Post-Incident Statement:

When questioned, Atlas expressed visible remorse and stated: “The night was angry. I could not quiet it.”

---

Assessment:

The Blood Moon appears to induce a berserk state in Atlas, forcibly amplifying emotional output and corrupting the sleep compound.

ER-Δ05 confirms that Atlas’s abilities are not inherently benevolent and can become psychologically devastating under specific celestial conditions.

---

Recommendations:

All future Blood Moon events are to be treated as high-risk anomalies. Atlas is to be isolated prior to onset where possible.

Daniel Anderson’s presence is now classified as mandatory during any celestial anomaly involving Atlas.
