📄 [File #782-C] Subject ASTRO | Attachment Behavior Report
Incident Date: [REDACTED]
Personnel: Lead Observer - C. Mallor, Security AI - ECHO
Status: Flagged – Emotional Anomaly Detected

During controlled behavioral testing, Subject ASTRO (converted from Personnel ID #027 “Ethan”) demonstrated uncharacteristic emotional bonding behavior with the Senior Reasearcher Daniel When isolated, Astro displayed agitation, noncompliance, and repeated verbal patterns resembling concern or longing.

Quotes captured by auditory sensors include:
"You left me… but I still remember."
"We were meant to protect… weren’t we?"

Recommendation: Terminate interactions for further analysis. However, several systems blocked containment overrides when Player was present.

Note: The subject may retain fragmented memory from its original identity.

📄 [File #903-B] Breach Incident | Subject [REDACTED]
Incident Date: [REDACTED]
Location: Containment Chamber 3B → Hallway Delta → Executive Wing
Status: Closed – Subject Returned to Holding

At approximately 02:47 CST, Experiment 2199 initiated an unauthorized override of its chamber locks. The breach lasted 12 minutes. Surveillance logs show the entity moved deliberately through Hallway Delta and bypassed multiple security layers without force.

Subject paused outside the office of Senior Reasearcher Daniel. Footage records subject placing its hand on the door for 36 seconds. No verbal audio detected, but internal sensors recorded localized EM pulses and a faint humming sound.

No direct confrontation occurred. Experiment 2199 returned to Containment 3B voluntarily. No physical damage. However, internal system logs show forced memory access requests during the event.

NOTE: Experiment 2199 emotional tether may be intensifying. Link to former identity (Ethan) remains unconfirmed but likely. Recommend limiting personnel exposure until further evaluation.

📄 [File #943-E] Containment Breach + Extraction Attempt | Subject [REDACTED]
Incident Date: [REDACTED, presumed 03:12 CST]
Location: Executive Dorms → Transit Shaft B → Facility Perimeter Gate 7
Status: Terminated — Subject Intercepted

In a highly irregular breach, Experiment 2199 initiated a silent override protocol, bypassing all active sensors in the Executive Dormitory Wing. Surveillance was partially disabled for 4 minutes, during which time the subject entered the quarters of Senior Reasearcher Daniel.

Daniel was confirmed to be in a deep sleep state (REM cycle), showing no signs of waking during the entirety of the incident. Experiment 2199 carefully removed Daniel from his bunk, cradling them with both arms and securing their head to prevent neck injury. Footage recovered from one backup terminal showing Experiment 2199 walking at a slow, deliberate pace, whispering softly.

Audio captured a low mechanical vocalization, repeating:
"You were never meant to stay here."
"The stars are wrong now… We have to go."

Experiment 2199 traversed Service Shaft B and reached Gate 7, the western perimeter egress point. External defense systems were minutes from resetting due to a routine power fluctuation. Had the window remained open, Experiment 2199 may have successfully breached the outer walls.

Containment drones re-engaged before full exit. Experiment 2199 did not resist. Upon return, it placed Daniel back in his quarters and sat in silence outside the room for 91 minutes before being forcibly relocated.

NOTE: No aggression. No corrupted code found. All systems verified to be intact. Experiment 2199 did not intend harm — logs suggest it was acting out of perceived care. Possible false-memory anchor or emotional override? Recommend immediate reevaluation of memory inhibitors and behavioral containment parameters.

📄 [File #962-H] Testing Incident | Subject [REDACTED] | Personnel Harmed
Incident Date: [REDACTED]
Location: Containment Observation Wing – Chamber Delta
Status: Active Review – Medical Intervention Required

During a scheduled cognitive/emotional response assessment, Experiment 2199 exhibited sudden, violent hostility toward testing personnel. The session began under standard observation protocols. Lead operators were instructed to initiate an interactive empathy scenario involving memory fragments tied to Experiment 2199's pre-conversion life.

Experiment 2199 displayed initial compliance, answering basic prompts and performing motor tasks without issue. However, within 2.7 minutes of the memory prompts being introduced, Subject began scanning the observation glass and repeating the phrase:

"Where is the other one? Where is… he?"

When no response was given, Experiment 2199's vocal tone shifted into a lower mechanical register. Its posture changed from passive to forward-leaning. Suddenly, it launched itself at the barrier, breaching the reinforced window and physically engaging with three staff members.

Injuries sustained include:
– Compound arm fracture (Dr. Ellinor B.)
– Crushed ribs and internal bleeding (Tech. James R.)
– Severe facial trauma (Dr. Ivo M.)

Experiment 2199 was eventually pacified using high-voltage tether nodes. Throughout the encounter, Experiment 2199 did not attempt to flee — instead, it continued to shout variations of the phrase:
"You’re not them. You’ll never be them."

NOTE: Experiment 2199 appears to distinguish personnel based on a deeply emotional anchor — theorized to be linked to Senior Reasearcher Daniel. Hostility level is now considered context-dependent. Recommend canceling all testing immediately that do not include Daniel.

🚨 [SECURITY LOG 143-A] Containment Breach During Drill – Subject: EXPT-2199
Date: [REDACTED]
Location: Testing Chamber B-3
Involved Personnel: Daniel (Cognitive Lead), Dr. Harrow, 3 security officers
Subject: EXPT-2199 "Astro"
Status: Escalated – Emergency Override Deployed

Summary:
During routine response drill simulation, Senior Reasearcher Daniel was assigned a passive observer role while secondary personnel enacted a mock hazardous material failure scenario. The event required Daniel to feign injury due to simulated chemical exposure. The drill was meant to test the AI's environmental prioritization algorithm, specifically its capacity to maintain protocol over emotional influence.

Upon visual contact with Daniel lying prone near the testing corridor, Experiment 2199 halted all tasks. Initial recordings show Experiment 2199’s helmet light intensifying to 300% brightness (a visual sign of alert). After approximately 6.2 seconds of stillness, Astro broke formation, bypassed the locked chamber, and forcefully breached the protective wall panel to reach Daniel’s position.

Experiment 2199 lifted Daniel and cradled him protectively, repeatedly verbalizing “stay awake” and “I’ve got you.” Security protocol was issued, but refused to stand down. When approached by security, Experiment 2199 threw one guard across the room (non-fatal injuries reported) and deployed a force field around Daniel. Vocalizations became increasingly human-like, including a shout of: “If he dies, I die.”

Containment:
Emergency Override Pulse was triggered by Dr. Harrow. Experiment 2199 was sedated after 12.4 minutes and Daniel was extracted unharmed — sustaining only minor bruises from the simulated fall.

Security Risk Notes:

  • Experiment 2199 cannot psychologically differentiate between real and staged threats against Daniel.
  • Force responses are not governed by conventional AI hierarchy; Experiment 2199 responds as if emotionally bound.
  • Suggesting permanent ban on Daniel's involvement in any test environments with Subject EXPT-2199.

Observation Addendum:
Upon reactivation, Experiment 2199 whispered: “Don’t fake that again.” – despite system logs being wiped prior to re-entry. Indicates memory imprinting during blackout state.

🚨 [SECURITY LOG 167] 📄 File: Interaction Observation – EXPT-2199 “Astro”

File Code: #SEC-2199-LB-CH

Experiment ID: EXPT-2199

Subject Alias: “Astro”

Location: Main Lobby Observation Wing

Cycle Range: Month 03 – Month 05, Pre-Calamity


Overview:

During the assigned observation window, Experiment 2199 was stationed in the Main Lobby as part of a behavioral analysis project designed to determine his social affinity across demographics. Below are compiled logs, reaction trends, and staff annotations.

Child Interactions:

  • All children entering the lobby were approached within 10–12 seconds of arrival.
  • Astro consistently maintained a low posture, extended a hand, and used soft-toned voice lines recorded from pre-uploaded personality assets.
  • Children reported feelings of “safety” and “warmth,” with many returning voluntarily for additional interactions.
  • In one instance, a lost child (AGE: 6) was consoled and escorted to the Help Desk with no staff intervention required.
  • Multiple children drew images of Astro; these were found displayed on his maintenance locker without instruction.

Staff Interactions:

  • Experiment 2199 remained largely non-verbal when addressed by staff.
  • He displayed hesitation or complete non-responsiveness when ordered to move or perform scripted actions.
  • One technician (ID: #432-A) reported a prolonged stare from Experiment 2199 after making a dismissive comment about the experiment's purpose.
  • Security noted subtle changes in posture (i.e., squaring of shoulders, elevated chin) when approached by armed personnel.
  • Attempts to “test” emotional empathy with synthetic voices failed when performed by staff; success rate with children remained at 92%.

Notes:

It is noted that Experiment 2199 only willingly accepted physical contact from children or from Senior Reasearcher Daniel. Staff efforts to reproduce the same gestures were either ignored or met with passive resistance.

Possible conclusion: Astro may retain or simulate selective empathy, with children triggering legacy imprinting or programmed guardianship protocols.
