[PROJECT BLUE ROSE – CLASSIFIED FILE RECOVERY]

[ACCESS LEVEL: RESTRICTED]

[DECRYPTING DATA... 42% COMPLETE]

[EXPERIMENT LOG 017]

Date: [REDACTED]

Subject: Liora (Designation: Blue Rose)

Status: Neural synchronization increasing. Cognitive retention still unstable.

Experiment Notes:

- Subject's bio-digital conductivity has reached 64.8%.

- XENIS-IS architecture adapting to her presence rather than rejecting.

- Unexplained fluctuations in data flow—potential subconscious interference.

Incident Report:

> 03:12 AM – Minor power fluctuation detected.

> 03:14 AM – Unregistered system access attempt logged.

> 03:16 AM – Subject's biometric readings show stress response despite lack of external stimuli.

> 03:17 AM – Emergency shutdown initiated.

Recommended Action:

- Increase neural dampening protocols.

- Limit access to external networks.

- Conduct memory suppression sequence.

[SURVEILLANCE ROOM 3 – AUDIO RECORD FRAGMENT]

RECORDING START – 02:56 AM

(Soft hum of machines. Occasional keystrokes.)

Dr. ███████: "Her sync rate is rising again. We expected fluctuations, but this is—"

: "Out of control. It jumped four percent in under a minute. Should we disengage?"

Dr. ███████: "No. If this stabilizes, we could establish a permanent interface with XENIS-IS."

(Pause. A distant, static noise is heard.)

: "Did you hear that? The internal sensors just glitched."

Dr. ███████: "It's her. Increase the neural inhibitors."

(Warning chime. System alert flickers on-screen.)

[WARNING: DATA BREACH DETECTED]

(Lights flicker. A sharp static screech erupts, garbling the audio feed.)

Dr. ███████: "She's—Liora, what are you doing?"

(The audio cuts. Silence. Then—an unnatural distortion hums through the speakers.)
