Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is data specialist standers of the Data Redundancy Project SEP.
Six thirty seven. Object class is safe special containment procedures
when inactive SEP. Six thirty seven is contained entirely within
the consciousness of SEB six thirty seven. DASH two. DASH
two is to be held at Site seventeen in a

(00:26):
low security room. Anything at requests is to be given
as long as it does not violate standard procedure. However,
any requests for pencils, pens, sketch pads, or any marketing
implement are to be denied and reported to doctor redacted.
The issue has been raised that if DASH too wanted
marking devices, it could use a fluid such as blood
or urine, but the subject has not displayed a marked

(00:48):
interest in drawing. It is agreed, however, that it is
wise not to tempt fate. Subject is to be fed
three times per day and whenever it requests food. Description
H two U is an elderly Caucasian woman of approximately
sixty five years of age who calls herself Margie. Margie
has been described by staff as polite and old ladyish,

(01:09):
if a little confused. She spends much of her time
in a semi catatonic state with occasional lapses of lucidity.
Dash two is the host of SEP. Six thirty seven,
a psychic organism which subsists entirely in dashtoo's mind. Six
thirty seven is described by its host as a little
black cat, skinny fellow, real, easygoing. Although the creature normally

(01:31):
resides in a blank space in a subject's mind, it
is capable of residing for several minutes as a drawn
item on paper, wood or other substance. If any sapient
organism not previously carrying six thirty seven sees the reproduction,
the image will vanish and six thirty seven will take
up residence in the new subject's mind. Based on information

(01:51):
gathered from Dash two and D six three seven zero
eight C Document six thirty seven A, the organism behaves
exactly as a normal cat, and its host is always
capable of describing what it is currently doing and where
it is within their head. Dash two shows affection for
the theoretical creature. Dash two does not recall where she
saw six thirty seven originally, so it is assumed to

(02:13):
have been living in her mind for some time. A dendum,
Doctor redacted believes the creature could be useful, including the
possibility of mass producing the cat and adapting it for
use in psychic warfare as a means of crippling the subject,
and plans to continue testing on other subjects. If no
uses are found for six thirty seven, then it is
believed that it will die when its host dies, unless

(02:35):
further experimentation is warranted. It is recommended that we prevent
DASH two from releasing six thirty seven onto paper in
order to maintain the good mental condition of our agents.
Document six thirty seven. A test subject D six seven
three zero eight was exposed to an image of the
organism drawn by DASH two. Subject gained a disheveled appearance

(02:57):
and made several comments like nothing works, isn't working? Want
the cat out? Nice kitty. When the subject was informed
that it would be placed in quarantine for twenty four
additional hours, it reacted violently and swore the guards for
several minutes before lapsing into a semi catatonic state. The
subject's behavior was deemed non harmful, and the subject was
moved to a low security dormitory on the site. After

(03:20):
twelve hours, the subject unexpectedly self terminated using the broken
edge of a ceramic dish provided with its meal. The
subject was observed making several loud remarks such as get
the cat out, I want the cat out, leave me alone,
and commenting that the organism was a brain sucking parasite
before death. It is worth noting that at approximately the

(03:42):
same time as D six seven three zero eights termination,
dash Too, who had been sleeping, sat straight up and exclaimed,
Kitty's back. You can get all my episodes add free
