Experiment Log 24-1C: Submitted For Review
Performed, Logged by Regime Scientist Joel Morton (deceased, Regime Science Head pre-mortem)
Log Entry T Minus 10:00:00 {2245}
Objective Roberts located and apprehended by agent Flash. Resistance checked by same. Objective is now loaded in experiment tube, stasis gel will be loaded tomorrow at 0845 after objective has regained consciousness.
Log Entry T Minus 00:45:00 {0800}
Objective is displaying violence against experiment tube; tube is holding. Objective is attempting to communicate; Dr. Ran indicates to objective that verbal communication is impossible. Objective draws thumb across neck ("I think he wants to kill us. Fat chance." - Dr. Cedric Ran [quote not included in original report]) then sits against back of tube. Dr. Ran has been notified of objective's aggression.
Log Entry T Minus 00:02:30 {0842}
Stasis gel in position above experiment tube.
Log Entry T Zero {0845}
Stasis gel released into experiment tube.
Log Entry T Plus 00:06:41 {0851}
Stasis gel has lifted objective to floating position; total stasis equilibrium achieved. First medical readings available; objective's condition is steady (see Appendix A [attached] for full details of medical readings.)
Log Entry T Plus 00:30:00 {0915}
Official orders received from Regime HQ: Activate R-Splitter system, divide objective into units "Simon" and "Clarence" and observe. Booting R-Splitter server.
Log Entry T Plus 00:36:50 {0921}
R-Splitter server active and ready to perform experiment.

R-Splitter timecode activated; splitting procedure beginning. R-Splitter moving to Level 1: Identity Form Increase. Objective's heart rate increasing.
Log Entry T Plus 06:29:10 {1514}
Objective at maximum identity form (max glow). R-Splitter moving to Level 2: Alternate Identity Formation & Release. Secondary tube online.
Log Entry T Plus 14:40:59 {2325}
Objective alternate identity formed to full level. Experiment/secondary tube hatchway opening. R-Splitter moving to Level 3: Alternate Identity Imprint Reengineering.
Log Entry T Plus 16:17:25 {0102}
Experiment/secondary tube hatchway closing. Full imprint now engineered. Objective is moving rapidly through stasis gel. He's breaking through the tube. SNAFU MAYDAY SIGNALS SENT HE'S HOSTILE

Log Ends
Conclusion: The initial objective of the experiment was completed successfully. Medical readings clearly display that the secondary identity "Clarence" was fully formed. However, the primary identity "Simon" became hostile upon completion of the experiment.
The laboratory area was found in a state of total disarray. The experiment tube had been broken by a physical hit from the inside, and the secondary tube was shattered by an external gunshot. Dr. Cedric Ran was found dead with a bullet wound through the head and a number of bruises. Dr. Joel Morton's body was not found. Blood samples have indicated that Dr. Ran was the only casualty in the attack; however, the consensus is that Dr. Morton was taken hostage and later killed by Simon and/or Clarence.
The equipment in the lab area was damaged beyond repair. Estimated cost to replace the R-Splitter server technology alone is over $20 billion US. Repetition of the experiment is not recommended under any circumstances.
Final Personnel Listing:
Dr. Morton: "Now, Cedric, this is a simple procedure. We activate the R-Splitter, pull the spirit of Clarence out of Simon, manifest the body in the secondary tube, and hope we don't kill either of them."
Dr. Ran: "Wait a minute. We pull out the spirit and manifest the body? You don't seriously believe in
Dr. Morton: "There's no better way to describe it, Cedric. I know, I know, the education division likes to say 'alternate identity' and 'reengineer the imprint' but that's bull
Dr. Ran: "Yes."
Dr. Morton: "Then you've never seen this before. When you see what happens, you'll understand why I describe the procedure with such feeling."

Radio (voice undecipherable): "Is the experiment complete?"
Dr. Morton: "Yes, but he's gone insane! Send some ops or something!"

Dr. Morton: "Please hurry, or he'll kill us!"
Dr. Ran: "No! Don't!"
