44:13Off-Planet transmission 014: beards_records_superstition 014: beards_records_superstition Subject A has experienced a period of boredom, forcing him to seek new ways of occupying himself in the pod. To maintain our mandate, we have not provided any additional forms of entertainment, which appears to have inspired his creative side. We have witnessed examples of vanity many times during our multiple trials, the current detainees experimenting with different styles of facial hair is yet another. Some of the designs represent major historical and political significance, but no matter the esteem or stigma they held, all were ultimately regrettable. They moved on to discuss world records, specifically the bizarre challenges humans set for themselves that were recognised by an organisation named ‘Guinness’. Apparently they also produced a delicious alcoholic beverage, perhaps we could synthesise and sample it at our next team building day? These record attempts help illustrate the reckless and wasteful nature of their species: carrying out absurd activities that push the limits of human endurance and decency, often resulting in serious injury and death, or even worse, irredeemable embarrassment. A thoughtful conversation around superstitions followed, probing the origins and cultural significance of assigning intention to coincidence. They study superstitious behaviour in sport, religion and tradition, then theorise about causes including mental illness, social bias and environmental stimulants. This phenomenon is not something our kind have suffered from: the concept of not having complete and utter control over our destiny is entirely alien to us, the illogical notion of any external influence deciding our fate could cause the majority of our population to simply cease operating entirely. Subject B revealed they have been carrying out some research into the demise of humankind, in particular the specific point in their timeline that we now recognise to be their civilisations’ death throes. It would be prudent to observe this investigation to see if they draw the same conclusion as we have, and if they identify how those mistakes could have been avoided. Until this moment I hadn’t considered either of them to be candidates for establishing the first society in our ‘Earth Two’ program, but suddenly I am intrigued to discover what their hybrid spawn could achieve.

40:00013: reeducation_beaches_antagonists It’s the end of term for one of our cadets, and we hear him disclose first-hand experience of our reeducation program to his compatriot: it was intriguing to witness a disarmed and honest assessment of our methods from one of the courses most mediocre students. We commenced with subject B as he has proven to be the most easily influenced, mainly due to his unusually malleable cognitive structure. The real test will come when we begin the same process with his associate, who presents more stubborn and immovable tendencies. I pray we won’t need to employ the Masters of Torment to encourage his cooperation, historically their loss rate is disturbingly high. The first topic of the day is beaches, and their correlation to the amount of stars in the known universe. Or more accurately, their known universe: while humanity’s scientists mapped and predicted a respectable portion of the void, they imparted a largely degraded knowledge of spacetime upon our patients. The participants comment on types of beaches, the natural processes that create them, and the various materials they are constituted from. The beaches on the planet we currently call home are supplemented with the ground bones of our latest enemies, due to it being the ideal exfoliant for our movement membranes. I believe the inspiration for the second subject they discussed was drawn from their first encounter with our species: which popular movie franchise killer would they choose to attempt to survive against for the duration of one Earth day? This quickly goes awry as they both attempt to find loopholes in the quiz, with claims they could actually become the aggressor in this inevitably fatal scenario. Once again they both demonstrate their rebellious nature, something our rehabilitation process has thus far failed to quash. One of the pair raises a popular conspiracy theory regarding humanity’s first mission to land on the Moon, the nearest natural satellite to Earth. If only they were aware of how integral the organic material their astronauts left behind was to us locating their planet, they wouldn’t question the legitimacy of mankind’s greatest achievement.

46:08012: identity_unicorns_stingers Subject B skipped the pleasantries at the start of todays meeting, opting instead to interrogate his counterpart on their knowledge of antique-based reality television. His intention behind the line of questioning was not to explore the worth of humanitys lost or forgotten junk, rather to identify the masks they surreptitiously wore whilst desperately attempting to blend in to or stand out from a crowd. The desire for individualism appears to have been endemic in human society, a desperation to avoid anonymity was ingrained in the fibre of their being. The irony of course, is that those who traditionally stood out least have ultimately become the most unique. They quickly move on to talk of mythical beasts and creatures of legend, those born only in the imagination of storytellers. Principally they discussed the unicorn: a powerful, single-horned equid of indeterminate loyalty. If I were human I would finish this description with the punchline, ‘but enough about my mother-in-law!’. However, I am not, so I shan’t. Which brings us nicely to the final topic for today: aging comedy tropes and sitcom stingers. Both topics are incredibly triggering for our participants, eliciting visceral reactions and candid takes on outdated humour, canned laughter, and stand-up comics. During the conversation, our passengers inadvertently gave further insight into the final days of their home world. With every meeting we are getting closer to uncovering the truth behind the fate of Earth, and the part they played in it. A throwaway comment from one of the candidates inspired a potential solution to our current fiscal challenges: distribute the recorded sessions in the form of a monetised ‘podcast’ and use the proceeds to help fund the project. Personally, I find the concept of listening to faceless voices prattling aimlessly for hours-on-end torturous, but these asinine ramblings are readymade for this bizarrely popular audio medium. And let’s be frank, if we want to be serious about continuing to finance this endeavour we simply must diversify. Signed, An Observer Intermission: Crystal Clouds by rwlr…

31:27011: condiments_apidae_disasters Life in the pod appears to have become too bland for subject B: he bemoans the lack of flavour in their rations and so, in an effort to fool his tastebuds, sparks a conversation with his compatriot about condiments. In a further attempt to inject some spice into their existence, subject A suggests they seek stimulation by landing on the nearest planet. While highly irregular, I would gladly chaperone and observe this excursion, if only to study first-hand how their bodies react to an alien atmosphere. Talk of animals yet again dominated the session, this time a rather crude fact detailing the results of bee intercourse took centre stage. Once their obsession with insect genetalia subsided, they pondered the ingestion of animal by-products: an ethical dilemma faced by vegans every day on their home planet. The concept of attaching guilt to a food source feels entirely foreign to me: when you are capable of devouring an entire species as an appetiser, you rarely reserve time to consider the impact on ecosystems. The focus of their conversation then switched to natural disasters. I understand Earth was rather susceptible to these catastrophic events, causing untold destruction and sorrow. Humans failed to master the elements and live in harmony with the climate as we have, their reluctance to embrace a nomadic existence also resulted in more costly infrastructure damage. Our ancestors learned to adapt to a planets violent and dynamic environment aeons ago, accepting that we are merely passengers; theirs refused to allow nature dictate where they could settle, demonstrating an admirable arrogance when facing annihilation. I have grown rather fond of both inhabitants over my time spent analysing them, I’m starting to think our initial intel on their true nature isn’t entirely accurate. They may even be tame enough to keep as domesticated companions, once they are fully house-trained.

36:45010: halitosis_property_melodramas My suspicion of ongoing deception by our specimens was confirmed during today’s meeting: affecting accents and masking personalities are clear signs of espionage, what they stand to gain from spying on us I am yet to uncover. I shan’t expose their secret until I understand more about their individual skillsets. An Observer has never before succeeded in convincing an agent of Earth to defect, I am certain I will be the first. Subject B posed an interesting quandary: if you could taste only one flavour for the entirety of your existence, which would you choose? Inexplicably, this conversation spawned the concept for a comedy series starring an unlikely named lead with an oral hygiene issue. They speak with a mocking tone as though the show is parody, however, having spent many lightyears studying humanity’s definition of humour, I’m convinced this production would be an improvement on most of Earths sitcoms. The initial part of the session focussed on lost property, specifically items found on a public transport system in one of their worlds thriving metropolises. Both clients suppressed emotional reactions as they discussed their own misplaced belongings: desperate situations will often cause a human to reassess past behaviour and regret missed opportunities, it is clear to me that what they rue losing most is not material, rather the moments they’ve lost to time. The topic of soap operas united our duo in disgust, displaying particular repulsion for the style of acting employed by the stars. Scripted scenarios being at the forefront of their mind could be due to a developing awareness of the growing audience they entertain and educate with every passing session. Navigation Control have just informed me that an unexpected alteration to the pods trajectory has put it on a collision course with an uncharted toxic debris field, they forecast an 18% chance of both passengers surviving. I have therefore initiated the Deep Sleep protocol for an indefinite period. We must demonstrate extreme caution when we eventually revive them: due to the unprecedented levels of potential radiation exposure, my biggest concern isn’t who may make it through the gauntlet alive, but what.

32:47009: paracosms_cranchiidae_booze In a vain attempt at shrouding his lacklustre approach to pod upkeep, subject A has manufactured an autonomous valet. In theory it should alleviate an already congested list of errands for B, but an unforeseen quirk of said servant could dash his hopes before any benefit is felt. As we know, this newly employed minion isn’t the only thing our passengers have fabricated while incarcerated: the entirely fictional reality they continue to expand and reside within is now at risk of collapse. I don’t believe we should try to prevent this implosion, it would be fascinating to witness their collective and sudden return to reality. An intriguing change to the order of questioner, the reasons for which should be analysed further to rule out subterfuge, sees our captives consider a fact about the colossal squid: a huge, unsightly creature who inhabited the deepest oceans of their home planet. A seemingly innocuous topic inspires a spiralling conversation around nightmares, Mediterranean delicacies, insects, a 20th century author and personified sporting goods. It is impossible not to be impressed by their ability to talk inanely for extended periods of time, far surpassing any of our previous detainees. They closed the meeting by reflecting on how the promotion and consumption of alcohol had fallen victim to fashion trends. It astonishes me how dependent their civilisations were on these substances; it appears to have been absolutely crucial to the functioning of society yet responsible for so much calamity and pain. My species are by no means beyond the influence of mind-altering substances, but our safe drug production and consumption facilities have thus far prevented the destabilisation of communities. An important note for future trials: human exposure to our recreational narcotics will result in organic disintegration, a discovery made recently to my chagrin. The closing rant from B criticising public subservience hit a little too close to home. I propose we move to quell any early suggestion of revolt by altering our isolation strategy, affording the duo less time to socialise should prevent anti-establishment movements from taking root. Should that fail, scheduled memory wipes will be introduced to help reassert the equilibrium of our study. Signed, An Observer Intermission: Interior Applause - My Hoody by Jack Lancaster…

39:30008: vacation_ophidianists_thiriokinesis It was both pleasing and concerning to discover that subject A has created a resort within the pod: pleasing as it will give the inhabitants somewhere to relax and reflect, concerning due to the resources exhausted during its manufacture, resulting in a negative impact on the craft’s stability. B appeared to be just as worried but was quickly distracted by the prospect of receiving some cheap booze, a traditional benefit of international travel back on their home world. This is not entirely dissimilar to our custom: any bodily excretions accumulated in flight suits during our sabbaticals are collected and gifted to those deemed worthy. I still have a quart of the fluid remaining from my last trip, I must remember to fetch it for these passengers to sample. They swiftly moved on to debate the controversial art of Snake Charming, an ancient illusionary act performed predominantly in the landmass they refer to as India. We learned of snakes from former pod custodians’ conversations, but they neglected to mention man sought to control them in such a sadistic fashion. Yet more evidence of humanity’s preference to dominate that which they were afraid of, rather than seeking to live harmoniously with it. The focus on animals continued in the second part of this session, as B presented an interesting hypothetical question: which of Earth’s vastly varied fauna would they each choose to act as their loyal defender, against attack by the rest of the planet’s creatures? They speak with a great sense of nostalgia for these beasts, perhaps we could use the DNA samples our team harvested from their world to resurrect the ones they chose, before unleashing them into the pod. I’m sure they would appreciate the opportunity for some untamed, organic interaction in such an intimate setting. Finally, I must request access to the original importation documents for our passengers to research two revelations: the suggestion by A that he has an affinity for seafaring, and B exhibiting signs of megalomania. Both are compelling traits that I’d hope would have been detailed upon receipt of the specimens, it would be unfortunate for a sample refund to be required at this crucial stage of the experiment.

35:44007: sanitation_execution_epitaphs Today’s meeting was a mostly morbid affair, despite a positive start that saw B boasting about the numerous chores he had completed. The act of spring cleaning can be seen as an expression of the desire to improve or change one’s surroundings, could they finally be settling in for the long haul? Conversely, A seems to be way behind on his duties. I foresee this causing animosity between the two inhabitants, as B adopts a more parental role that his shipmate is readily taking advantage of. B is also committing an excessive amount of time to his research in the Archives, while A is spending his free time playing a game of correspondence chess with an unknown soul. The barbaric act of execution dominated the first half of the meeting, a gory debate fought with moral code disclosing conclusions. Designing machines and methods of death is surely the most deplorable of humanity’s legacies, why couldn’t they just devour and recycle their sociopaths as we do? Triggered by a mysterious, targeted memo, they reflect further on their own mortality with a sombre discussion around how they would like to be memoralised. Their suggestions will be considered, then likely disregarded once we have determined their fate. Their plans to construct a ‘local pub’ in the pod intrigues me, I have heard many captivating tales about these social hubs. This project has my full support, I can’t imagine there will be any calamitous outcomes from such an innocent and well-meaning venture.

40:57006: proctology_invertebrates_sensorium Both were verging on hysteria for the duration of this session: subject A believes his co-habitants erratic behaviour is a reaction to a homemade narcotic, I suspect it is due to the oxygen rationing we have had no choice but to enforce. Their entertainment value rises dramatically when starved of the life-giving gas, it would certainly render my observations more bearable should the environmental control systems remain inoperative. Through his haphazard brandishing of an injured appendage, B inadvertently revealed A has a medical background: could we utilise his experience in battling this relentless Galactic Flu that has ravaged our community? Just to clarify, I am not volunteering my negotiation skills to the unenviable task of convincing Overlord to allow a human to consult with one of our own. The first discussion of the day developed from a fact about lobsters: a seabound creature of Earth that was craved by their elite. I have never understood the appeal of consuming damp, salty flesh, especially when they are void of bones. They also debated the least appealing animals their planet had to offer, ironically omitting their own species despite them invariably topping intergalactic polls on this topic. There were a few hypothetical questions posed during the meeting, the most probing being around a permanent mutation to their senses. Could this be a suggestion that they are seeking some kind of alternate reality, or do they wish to dull their exposure to certain stimuli in the pod? I found this conversation the most challenging thus far, simply because I cannot fathom what it must be like to manage with a fraction of the senses I rely upon. They also consider assembling a squad of superheroes with impractical powers: if I were to analyse this further it could mean that they are seeking some kind of saviour, someone to retrieve them from the deep, cold resseses of space and deliver them to sanctuary. Or it could have just been a fun bit of filler chat. Can anyone corroborate their reports of interstellar pirates stalking the pod? While it is difficult to argue that they aren’t the most fascinating individuals in the cosmos, I have no desire for a repeat of study #324 which, as I am sure you will recall, resulted in a light-yearlong search for the participants’ partially devoured remains. We simply don’t have the time nor resources to commit to another data recovery mission on that scale.

33:19005: anthropomorphism_ effervescence_dance The tangible regret shown by subject A, following an evening of excess, invoked little sympathy from B for his self-inflicted ailment. They generally lack any real concern for the others well-being, seemingly oblivious to the impact being entirely alone would have on their psyche. Details of the previous nights entertainment suggests A has achieved a new level of lunacy: he has begun fabricating fictional friends. Playing pretend is a normal part of early cognitive development, but regression of this scale could suggest a desire for more tactile relationships. I daresay this is something B would be more than willing to provide. Thankfully the inane chatter returned before they probed the matter further, shifting to an uninteresting debate around drink carbonation. The tone of the conversation inevitably collapsed as they moved on to tales of flatulence: an unsavoury chat that unveiled underlying insecurities that A has, thus far, kept hidden. B displayed no empathy, but perhaps he was merely bitter about the derision he’d suffered for an earlier miscalculation. I was genuinely captivated by their concluding discussion around dancing. I have always envied this species ability to move so freely in physical space, but their suggestion that this expression can be both voluntary and involuntary is fascinating to me. Perchance, once our subjects cycles are complete, I would be permitted the opportunity to temporarily inhabit their husks. I’d really like to take them for a spin. Their discovery of a, previously assumed decommissioned, communication device in the pod shouldn’t be ignored. I would appreciate guidance on which protocol to enforce: should they be allowed to reach out into the void to give them some semblance of hope, or must we shatter their futile fantasies and confirm that they truly are alone?

34:20004: meteorology_obsequies_pioneers The usual combative nature of previous sessions was absent today, our subjects were instead unified in annoyance by a common foe: it transpires that the unwelcome guest we initially viewed as a threat and sought to exterminate, has proven itself to be an impactful uncontrolled variable. I suggest we allow this relationship to organically develop for now, I’ll decide its fate at a later date. Further to this: is the weather system they claim their unofficial crewmate has generated genuine, or is it merely a manifestation of their craving for contrasting climes? B attempted to gamify the meeting with an ad-hoc quiz before recalling past soirees: we are wading deep in nostalgic waters now, both parties pining for less tumultuous times. The ratio of true to false memories isn’t overly troubling at this stage, lets monitor with reservation to expedite the Memory Augmentation process where required. The extended discussion around how they dispose of their fallen was fascinating, while the cannibalistic undertones were certainly unexpected. Our inhabitants chose to close the session by fantasising about the colonisation of another world, displaying the typically entitled arrogance mankind has used to excuse the abuse suffered by planets under their custodianship. The persistent disregard for their destructive behaviour makes me doubt our long-term relocation strategy, and if the preservation of their species truly is as essential as we’ve been led to believe. It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the impressive amount of work they have put into developing the pod, how they were able to achieve expansion to this extent is beyond me. It will be interesting to see if their precarious craftsmanship can withstand the oppressive external forces, as it certainly appears their minds are beginning to buckle under the internal pressure.

29:13003: aristocracy_opiates_cosplay The third session commenced in open conflict, with B accusing A of larceny. The heated exchange substantiates my hypothesis that our ability to subtly manipulate time and space, and the objects within it, intensifies the volatility of their domicile. Historically, chaotic atmospheres yield rich seams to mine for emotional response data. B displayed further delusional behaviour, this time convincing himself he was a 19th century physician. A encouraged this for his own amusement. The hallucination initiated a confab around snake oil remedies, I can only pray they won’t be tempted to create their own onboard given the limited selection of ingredients. Talk of artificially intelligent overlords concerns me: was this merely a coincidence or are they becoming more resistant to reality suppressants? Dictating their own social standing in such a remote and desolate region of space is unprecedented, how can they be so fearful of lacking individuality and status despite being in such a unique and enviable position? A’s preference for the lower decks is worrisome, what exactly is he getting up to beyond the periphery of our surveillance systems? Their reminiscence about 20th century automobiles inspired my proposal for next quarter’s Activity Day: perhaps we could allow them to pilot the pod, under strict supervision of course. It should give them some much needed perspective and discipline, and I am fairly confident their motor skill reconstruction has progressed to a level that will meet minimum safety guidelines. Triggered by a question about cosplaying, they delved deep into the topics of caricatures and impressionists. Feelings of a change to or loss of identity are common for those who have been isolated for so long: ordinarily subjects will either endure and return to relative normality, or a complete fracture of the mind will occur. I will monitor this with interest. The stowaway lifeform is now reproducing. If C.A.W is once again unsuccessful on its next seek and destroy mission, I will have no choice but to venture into the dank depths to deal with it myself.

An undercurrent of uncleanliness flowed stubbornly beneath the conversation, alike a waste pipe constricted by human effluence. A regular occurrence at this point in the trial as participant’s minds wander, thoughts turning to previously implausible proposals presented before them. I recommend C.A.W. is instructed to carry out a deep cleanse of both occupant’s exteriors and interiors. There was further indication that A yearns to vacate their transitory domicile: I would like to analyse client interactions more closely to discover why he finds B so repellent. Reports of an extraterrestrial being in the lower decks should be addressed immediately: any alien life-forms present on board will seriously impede the progress of our study and could force yet another pod purge. There is new evidence of an emerging belief system based on their current source of entertainment. Should this be allowed to escalate we may witness the inception of the first religion outside of a habitable planet. Nostalgia permeated the encounter: A and B talked about former professions, vacations, first-times, and acquired skills they would both prefer not to relearn.

31:22001: rodents_ emulsion _cetaceans Their first mandatory meeting was fraught with taboo topics, both parties were restless and disorientated: subject A delicately deliberated the legalities of animal ownership, while B fixated on faecal matter. Attempting to placate a visibly hyperactive B, A engaged in a spontaneous game of Charades. An insightful but meandering conversation transpired: the themes chosen from our predetermined pool exposing their desire for solitude, autonomy, and terra firma. I was perturbed to learn they are routinely consuming a unique variety of home-brew. While precautions have been taken to prevent the reoccurrence of corrupted data, A and B’s ingenuity reinforces my request to revaluate existing security protocols. One client displayed the unmistakable signs of early-onset ‘cosmic delirium’: I will monitor and, following a formal diagnosis, medicate as required. Towards the end of the allotted time, B attempted to alleviate the tension by sharing a joke seemingly written by a resident of their homeland. In response A expressed his desire to be allowed to go back to work, confirmation that the occupation simulation firmware has updated successfully. C.A.W. is fully operational and performing as intended. I recommend a minor dosage increase of previously prescribed barbiturates prior to reconvening for the next stage of the study.
