Burnt Leaf Declassified

'The Experiment'

A Memo to the Prime Minister

We're contacting you in regards to Site Yamashida. Yes, we know about Yamashida. We're leaving these reports we've acquired as evidence that we're already there. We have one request of you Prime Minister. Shut it down. Whatever you're trying to do, whatever your end game is, nothing good can come of your experiments. This is your one warning.

The Last Hokage

Burnt Leaf IV

Experiment 456120345

Summary:

Further attempts to discern the biology of the captive 'digimon' continues without useful result. Blood samples acquired from the specimens dissipate moments after collection, as do biopsied specimens for further study. Subjects who are taxed with extensive sampling die and disappear briefly afterwards. After an accident with a magnet in the break room, we've concluded that some of the digital life forms may in fact exist in a part of the electromagnetic spectrum we've yet to be aware of. As such, this experiments attempts to determine the effects of different emitters on varied digimon subjects. For this experiment, the primary subjects will be the 'Gazimon' as we have several hundred of them in captivity.

Introduction:

Following the events hereby classified as the 'Odaiba Incident', several creatures were captured related to the destruction. These creatures self identified as digimon or 'Digital Monsters'. The digimon in question represent new forms of life but study remains difficult as attempts to preserve samples resulted in samples disappearing before analysis could be performed. Standardized preservation techniques from formalin to potassium ethyldiaminetetraacetic acid have failed to preserve the specimens in any significant manner. During research, one of the captive digimon escaped containment and made its way to the break room. There, it had an adverse reaction to a magnet on the refrigerator that left it subdued but raised new suspicions. Thanks to their intelligence and self-awareness, information was obtained through standard questioning techniques when the creatures are cooperative. These creatures identify as digital, suggesting our approach has not been appropriate. Provided our current means of transferring and communicating data via electronics, it has been suggested that study would be better performed with exposure to different radiations along the electromagnetic spectrum. Following government approval, several different emitters were produced capable of outputting different radiations. The goal will be to determine which radiation is the preferred use of studying the creatures.

Test 01 - Gamma Radiation Emitter 300 EHz

Subject was introduced into the room and sealed. Precautionary measures to contain radiation and prevent exposure to staff. Upon activation of the emitter, subject expired immediately. Radiation allowed to dissipate before another specimen was introduced. New subject also expired immediately. Further study to follow.

Addendum: Of course we conducted this test from a mile away. No one is going to be standing next to that thing when we turn it on.

Addendum: Further study deemed unnecessary per operations director. We're basically nuking them at point blank range. Nothing can survive that.

Test 02 - X-Ray Radiation Emitter 300 PHz

Subject was introduced into the room and sealed. Precautionary measures to contain radiation taken. Upon activation of the emitter, the digimon became disoriented and confused. Digimon was exposed for 45 minutes, with no additional effects noted. After radiation was allowed to dissipate, the digimon became oriented to location and place. Subject was removed from the containment. Further notes to follow in days.

Addendum: Subject exhibiting symptoms of radiation poisoning at day 3, further notes to follow.

Addendum: Subject expired at day 4. No body left behind. Further study impossible.

Test 03 - Ultra Violet Emitter 30 PHz

Subject was introduced into the room and sealed. Precautionary measures to contain radiation taken. Upon activation of the emitter, subject sat down and complained of being bored. Outcome likely unrelated to exposure. Exposure continued for 45 minutes, with no additional effects besides increased irritation from boredom. After radiation allowed to dissipate, the subject was removed from containment. Further notes to follow.

Addendum: Subject showed tumor like growths at day 2 following exposure.

Addendum: Subject became deathly ill at day 3 with falling hair, coughing fits, and difficulty functioning. Initial assessment suggests cancerous like development. Further study to follow on rapid development of symptoms.

Addendum: Subject expired at day 7 post exposure. No body to study afterwards. Further study impossible.

Addendum: We are not calling them vampires.

Addendum: Stop calling them vampire rabbits.

Addendum: I swear to every supreme being in existence, I will kick your ass if you don't shut up about the vampire rabbits Dr. Hideo.

Test 04 - Visible Light Emitter

Subject was introduced into room and sealed. Subject looked directly at emitter as it was turned on and blinded immediately. Subject became irate and hostile for duration of blindness. Vision returned after several minutes, followed by irate behavior. No other effects noted. Subject removed after 45 minutes. No precautions taken. No further study needed.

Addendum: If visible light was harmful to them, they would already be dead. They're not vampires. Dr. Hideo will be taken to administration if he continues to insist upon that term.

Addendum: Dr. Hideo expired due to incident with the 'vampire rabbits'. Subjects already demonstrated intelligence. It seems they consider the term an insult and continuously refer to a Myotismon as the reason why. Further questioning to follow.

Test 05 - InfraRed Emitter 30 THz

Subject was introduced into the room and sealed. Precautionary measures to contain radiation taken. Upon activation of the emitter, subject became confused and complained of being unable to see. After several minutes, subject complained of being unable to hear. No other effects noted after forty five minutes. Radiation allowed to dissipate and subject removed. Further notes to follow.

Addendum: No other effects noted after 30 days. Subject remains in relatively good health.

Test 06 - Microwave Emitter 300 GHz

Subject was introduced into the room and sealed. Precautionary measures to contain radiation taken. No effects noted on activation or during forty five minutes of testing. Subject became irritated with boredom. Subject removed. Further study to follow.

Addendum: Subject complains of hearing voices at day 4. After further study, it was determined the subject was hearing a broadcast from a radio station several towns away in their head. Further study to follow.

Addendum: Subject continues to complain of music at day 6, saying the songs all suck and they won't stop.

Addendum: Subject took own life at day 8, complaining of the endless singing. Experiment to continue on other subjects. Further study into why they're picking up frequencies at levels they were not exposed to.

Further study discontinued at this time due to an incident with Dr. Hideo. Doctor referred to several of them as vampire rabbits while attempting to feed them and was mauled by a group. Experimentation halted until security measures can be reviewed. Subjects in lockdown and armed personnel are to be stationed around the perimeter at all times.

Conclusion: Without the ability to perform further testing and continue research, insufficient data can be gathered to reach any verifiable conclusions. At this time, experiments will remain unfinished.

Kino set down the research articles they'd stolen and looked up at Naruto in disbelief, "Are they really this stupid?"

"Apparently," Naruto reclined in his office chair, watching television on his computer, "It's funny in a mundane sort of way. They're doing all this so that they won't have to rely on Burnt Leaf in the future. But, if they'd just ask, we'd be willing to share the information we pulled from SkullMeramon in the basement."

"Isn't it time to feed him?" Kino asked Naruto, organizing the research articles. Naruto shook his head, "We want him cooperative, not comfortable. Feed him too much and he'll start to think we care. We don't."

"You don't," Kino pointed out, leading Naruto to raise an eye, "Do you?"

Kino knew she may have misstepped but kept a brave face in her answer, "Not really. I just want to know when we'll be allowed to leave. You promised me a passport a long time ago. When can Hermes and I go?"

"I'm working on it," Naruto assured her, "The political situation is complicated. More so after what happened to the Americans. Just be patient."
