Dr. Betruger confirmed what the core scientific team has long suspected. Namely, he will proceed post haste with more experiments using “volunteers.” Though these steps must be approved on some level by the UAC, and hence Ian Kelliher, I will continue to send full documentation and a warning.

This new series of experiments is alarming for a number of reasons. First, the so-called test results from this past year’s work remain largely unexplained. There have been theories, such as spontaneous genetic mutation and even one concept dubbed “telemetric gene modification.” But still, no one knows what happened.

And everyone saw what happened to the first human subject. We all watched as a human subject, a marine, stepped into the large chamber, prepared to travel through space, to a distance 20 meters away. Betruger argued that the series of successful teleports of inanimate objects, as well as a few somewhat successful animal “ports,” all argued for a human test.

But even those few successful animal subjects later developed difficulties and behavioral changes that remain unexplained. I plan on continuing to record the results of all these new experiments here. I will also inform Kelliher of each step—though I fear he knows, and approves—and my role as his eyes and ears is a false one.

If these steps do not alarm him—if this work doesn’t horrify him—then nothing will.

My wife pleads for me to return, this time for good. She may be right. But I have to wonder: would I even be allowed to leave?
