Recording has started: We have decided on a group project. The twelve of us that is. We're converting the big lab into a living space, a different world for our project. We have genetically enhanced twelve animals to be able to care for the twelve beings that we will be creating. We have decided on calling the experiments "trolls".
Our test run was a success. They will look like insects and mature into...something. We have the genetic codes and the twelve test subjects that were donated by us twelve scientists, planning on making the unique life form after some of our favorite things. Each "troll" will have a different blood color, ranging from bright red to a fuchsia color. We have adapted code names for this project as well as symbols so we can keep an eye on the trolls.
This is log one. This is The Signless signing out.
The man put the recorder down, turning his chair to look at a man who was hunched over his computer, typing out codes. "How goes the first making?" He asked, watching the man.
"Vantas, it's going as well as it was last time." The man snapped, sitting up and cracking his back before running a hand through his hair. "The first subject is complete, ready to be applied to the base. God, those animals make such a racket." He muttered.
"Are we just waiting for Ampora and Peixes to get here then?" He asked. The room they were in over looked a small section of what they had created to host the life forms they would be creating.
"Yes, but they just arrived."
The voice caused Vantas to turn, facing the dark skinned woman and the man that was with her. "Everything looks like it's in order then. The twelve subjects are ready. Shall we proceed?" The man that had been at the computer said.
"Yes, I would like to see what we can create. How long before it is converted to the new species?" The woman asked, pushing a strand of very long hair behind her ear as she glanced over the small part of the forest they could see. "Are the twelve animals out there?"
"The only thing I can't account for is any variables that may happen." The computer man said.
"Thank you Captor. Shall we proceed?" Vantas asked, glancing around the room as he waited for the eleven nods. He hovered over the button for several seconds before selecting it, turning to face the lab room behind him. They watched the little electronic arms before the red haired man sat down, grinning as they watched the machines move.
Recording has started: We have been watching the new species for five months. The grubs have taken to calling the animals something along the lines of "lusii", we are unsure if this is because they have had no interaction with their actual blood parents, but will not be interfering with them any time soon. We have decided to see how long they can last. There are animals in the wooded areas for them to eat.
It's amazing to see how the animals are taking to raising the grubs. They are pure white, something we did not expect. The grubs are more insect like then human, though where their bodies are different colored, their faces seem to be gray. We are unsure how they will look when they mature, or how long it will take to mature. We do know that several of the cameras that we placed within the environment has been destroyed. But we have several hundred still operating.
It seems that there are two grubs that live in water, though we are not quite certain which one these are. In time, the animals will give each grub a mark to be able to tell them apart.
This is log 5. The Disciple logging out.
The woman set the headphones down, stretching and looking around the room. She pushed back her hair, pulling it into a tie and yawning. She had duty of the log for the day, though much hadn't really changed in the environment.
She adjusted one of the cameras, watching the grub chirp along side what seemed to be a beach, a white monster coming from the water and curling up next to it. They couldn't determine genders but most of them didn't care, interested only in what might happen with the test subjects.
Recording has started: Today has marked our four year and seven month anniversary in the project. We have seen many interesting things with the experiments. They have started to mature, to grow into young...trolls I suppose? They each have a set of different horns and the one with the Cancer symbol-Subject Cancer or Subject Vantas- seems intent on keeping his blood color a secret from the others.
We have recorded the Aries Subject or Subject Megido having burgundy blood. She seems interested in old things, and dead things.
We have recorded the Taurus subject or Subject Nitram having an umber or bronze color. His horns seem to get stuck in the doorway to their house, or "hive".
We have not recorded the Cancer subject or Subject Vantas as stated before.
We have recorded the Gemini subject or Subject Captor having yellow blood. He shows a knack for liking things in two, having a double set of horns.
We have recorded the Leo subject or Subject Leijon having olive blood. She likes cats and seems to hunt like her lusus.
We have recorded the Virgo subject or Subject Maryam having jade blood. She is the only one that likes being out during the day. The others have adapted to a nocturnal sleep pattern.
We have recorded the Libra subject or Subject Pyrope having teal blood. Her lusus is a dragon egg, we believe. She was blinded by another troll in a sick game and her eyes are red. We are unsure of how she sees.
We have recorded the Scorpio subject or Subject Serket having cerulean blood. She fancies herself a pirate and blinded Subject Pyrope.
We have recorded the Sagittarius subject or Subject Zahhak as a blue blood. He seems to be protective over Subject Leijon.
We have recorded the Capricorn subject or Subject Makara as an indigo blood. He seems to prefer getting high off what they sleep in then spending time with the others. His lusus the seagoat we created off mythology seems to not come around as often.
We have recorded the Aquarius subject or Subject Ampora as a violet blood. He has a mutation that allows him to survive underwater, having fins instead of ears. He's rather close to the Peixes subject.
We have recorded the Pisces subject or Subject Peixes as a Fuchsia color. She has the same mutation as Subject Ampora. She seems to have to feed her lusus for some reason, though we do not know the reason.
Over four years, we have collected data and I believe some of them have realized that we destroyed the lives of twelve children. I am in a mind to agree with them. It...is strange to think that these could have been normal children. They seem more violent then what they would have been. It's a scary thought.
Her Imperial Condescension has already backed out. Her and Dualscar. I'm afraid that Signless is too deep into this project to consider pulling out now. He seems to enjoy watching all of them.
This is log 55. Redglare signing out.
Redglare pushed herself away from the blog, looking at the forest. "Subject Pyrope, I am sorry for what happened to you. I did...not realize. If there is ever a way for you to get out, I hope that you can get out. One day, they will have to reveal you but I cannot be part of that anymore."
She got up, setting her pen down. "Keep your myths and legends, you'll need them."
She headed to the door, pausing when she nearly ran into the dark haired man, frowning. "Excuse me Vantas, please move out of my way."
"Pyrope, where do you think you're headed? It's not time for your shift to be over." The man demanded.
Pyrope shook her head, leaning against her cane. "I am sorry Vantas, but I'm going to leave this project. If it keeps going as planned, I don't want to be part of it."
"Leave with the rest of them, but we're keeping our research going. We have created a species that can function without an adult. They aren't even humans. We started a new species Pyrope! Your own blood is in there, you can't fault that." He said, gesturing wildly.
Pyrope shook her head. "I am done. Leijon, Maryam, and Captor are still with you. As is Makara. I don't know about the about them, but I must do the right thing. Peixes, Ampora, Zahhak, and Serket had the right idea. Good bye Vantas. I wish you luck. And I wish you luck with your son as well."
Vantas stepped aside, nodding at the door. "Then leave and don't come back when our work is considered complete. This will be life changing."
Pyrope walked past him, giving him one last glance. "We've created monsters."
