Prologue

Project: Blood Assassin

Subject: Three

Day: 640

Time: 15:45

The isolation of all the subjects has begun to yield the desired results.

Subject Three”s response to our methods has morphed into a full-body shutdown.

The subject’s coping mechanism for dealing with distress has turned Three physically and mentally unresponsive. It could be temporary. Or could create long-lasting consequences, such as emotional dysregulation and complete numbing, which would be in our favor. Emotional disconnection is part of our goal.

Yesterday’s waterboarding methods did not seem to work the way we expected. Three experienced cardiac arrest, and we had to use a defibrillator to revive the subject.

Today, we will try one more time with electric shock. I am curious to see if the subject’s physical numbness has progressed. It could be turned to our advantage, as the subject’s total mental detachment has been.

Though Three’s indifference has reached a complete disinterest in most things, the subject gives a slight reaction when witnessing violence. It is a good starting point.

Three’s unwillingness to eat is becoming quite annoying. We will have to switch IV fluids with tube feedings if the subject keeps avoiding food.

We will continue stimulating Three’s body until the subject’s mind gives us a stronger reaction. We will have to use harsher methods and different approaches, probably closer to what we employ with Subject Five.

I’m confident we are on the right path.
