So, here's some interesting findings. First off, AH-4 has assigned a zodiac sign to each of the "trolls", so we'll go ahead and use those as names for differentiation purposes. AH-4 has given several of them unique characteristics. Subjects Aquarius and Pisces have a secondary aquatic respiratory system. Subjects Taurus and Libra are crippled and blind respectively. Taurus, Aries, Gemini and Scorpio were assigned psychic powers. Aries believes herself a ghost, with her death being an element programmed into the back story given to the other 11. There's a whole lot more data you probably don't care about, so I'll spin that off on a side memo.

I'm wondering if AH-4 knows about the plan. It's incorporating game like elements into the subjects narratives. It could be testing if exposure to fantastical elements is more difficult to imprint on a person's memory than mundane elements. Seems to be working fine so far.

Also, we've got some information on the three adult subjects integrated so far. One man and one woman, appear to have been spawned as yet another "sci-fi race". They've been placed on a purple, urbanly developed planetoid, where the male is subservient to the female in some sort of governmental structure in which she appears to lead. The race is jet black and covered in hard caprice. AH-4 has also populated the planetoid with "NPCs", who refer to the planetoid as "Derse".

The last adult subject, I'm baffled by. He is located on the troll planet's moon, occupying a single room in a deserted city. He appears to be human save for his head being replaced by a large white sphere. Since integration, he has done absolutely nothing. We are curious if this might be a failed integration attempt, bug, or some other problem. I'll be keeping an eye on it to see if anything comes of it.

No sign yet of AH-4 beginning work with the remaining subjects.

AH-4 definitely knows about the Sburb project. Gemini, imprinted with a desire and talent for programming, has begun programming a game called "Sgrub" using source code that AH-4 hid in the world and had delivered via Aries. The game itself seems very different then what were preparing, but it certainly got the name. We should check if AH-4 got into company Intranet during that data breach. I would just ask it, but that would kinda mess up the whole experiment.

Gemini distributed Sgrub to the other 11 trolls, who have begun to play it. The Sgrub game is essentially a custom debug kit and world editor for Seed. It's allowing them to manipulate the world around them, as well as making pre-programmed changes to the world to create objects, places and npcs. Despite being exposed to illogically malleable reality, none of them seem to have caught on that they were living in a simulation to begin with. Thank god. This 5 year experiment was about to jump the rails on week 2.

Third day of Sgrub play. The original "world" is almost totally gone, replaced by smaller, interlinked "worlds" the subjects travel between. "Derse" has also been loaded into these connected worlds, where subjects Black Queen and Black Jack are playing villains in the game. As expected the subjects are all highly violence prone. Saggitarius constructed robot body which now houses Aries. Further, multiple instances of Aries have been appearing. These copies are, in-narrative, versions of Aries traveling through time, though it appears AH-4 is simply running emulated copies as NPCs. Again, more details added to the external record. Even though they haven't caught on to the truth, I'm inclined to say that this experiment is so far off the rails that it won't have any meaningful findings for the project. Recommend that after a few more days of observation, we intervene with AH-4, give it more specific instructions about the scenario to build so we can get results more applicable to the real world.

Administrator's Note:

Suggesstion noted. We'll discuss it at the next project meeting. Though we should still keep the "troll" version of the experiment running, it's just too damn interesting. I mean, SCIENCE, why not?

Intervention with AH-4 is approved and scheduled for tomorrow. I'm not gonna lie, I'm excited to have an actual discussion with it. Figure out the method to his madness. Why aliens? Why the weird blood caste and courtship systems? The zodiac iconography? And the game... oh god the game. I'll be perfectly honest, I might need someone with me to keep me on track.

Administrator's Note:

I'll be in attendance Doctor. Don't worry. We have all the time we need to satisfy your curiosities.
