VHC Lab reports

PERPLEX CITY, SEASON ONE The search for the Receda Cube on Earth

General

The lab reports were retrieved from the VHC tempfile.

• First phase appears to be the subject dissapearing, Second phase the travelling, and Third phase the subject reappearing (or not!).
• Laika appears to denote a canine subject.
• SSO Carter appears to be a bystander.

Other relevant information

Using the Hobbs Island Transcript:28-SEP-06 we know that the following people were subjects prior to Jake Maine as he knew their outcomes:

• Thorpe ended up in the wall (not in Lab Reports}
• Jackson turned into steam, and they could continue to hear him screaming
• Choi was lost
• Stephens was lost

Elan is not mentioned by Jake Maine, so he may have been a subsequent subject, someone unknown to Maine, or just not mentioned by Maine.

From the emails between Sente Kiteway and Chadwick it appears that the canine phase was first, and that human phase was called Tau-Seven. We are also told that Lakia 233 successfully completed phase three, but suffered psychological effects.

Sente sent Scarlett off to stay with her aunt and uncle link, possibly so that he was free to travel to Viendenbourg without anyone knowing. She was there between mid August and mid September 2006.

Conclusions about sorting data

• The numbers of dates, locations, and subjects are all the same, so it is likely that we have full sets.
• The canine trials were first, and then the human trials. Lakia 233 made it through, but several human subjects were lost, so the third phase information cannot be put into order by success.
• Thorpe ended up in the wall, and Maine who went afterwards ended up on Hobbs Island. It seems unlikely that they would aim to send someone to an unmanned, pre-war facility. However, having partially got the geopositioning sorted, they may have been trying to increase the distance over which they could send someone. This makes putting the geopositioning information into order by success difficult, as with distance, the accuracy may have been decreasing.

Data

The data appears to break down into the following sections:

Subject reports readiness entering first phase. Subject reports confidence entering first phase. Subject reports confidence entering first phase. Subject reports calmness and confidence entering first phase.
First Phase Result (9 total)	First phase appears successful. Dissolution complete. First phase successful. Dissolution complete. (repeated 8 times)
Second Phase (1 total)	Audio evidence suggests subject remains in phase two. Unconfirmed
Third Phase (9 total)	Third phase only partial success. Subject retrieved. 65% reconstitution. Laika 212 expired. Third phase unsuccessful. Geopositioning has no lock. Repeated signals produce no response within range. Third phase unsuccessful. Geopositioning has no lock. Repeated signals produce no response within range. Third phase successful. 100% reconstitution resolves in Unit 6a, Level 3. Subject intact. Subject severely agitated. Subject tranquilized. Third phase unknown. Subject lost. Third phase unknown. Third phase partial success. Subject 40% integrated with site infrastructure. Third phase partially successful. Subject 20% integrated with site infrastructure; 15% with SSO Carter. Carter expected to recover with prosthetic. Not expected to return to duty. Third phase partially successful. Subject 50% integrated with site infrastructure. Reports extreme pain and disorientation.
Subject Status (7 total, + several in Third phase)	Subject lost. (repeated 3 times) Subject expired. (repeated twice) Subject severely injured. Expired at 18:15. Subject reports extreme pain, disorientation.
Geopositioning (7 total, + 2 in Third phase)	Geopositioning signal faint and intermittent. Estimated accuracy +/-500km. Signal lost after 95secs. Geopositioning indicates accuracy to within 1.5km on horizontal plane. Geopositioning indicates accuracy +/-1km. Verticals unclear. Geopositioning and visual evidence indicates accuracy +/-50m. Vertical plane 0m. Geopositioning and visual evidence indicates accuracy +/-10m. Vertical plane +5m. Geopositioning and visual evidence indicates accuracy +/-10m. Vertical plane -1m. Geopositioning and visual evidence indicates accuracy +/-10m.
EM (9 total)	EM interference recognised in first phase. Dampers and shielding seem to minimise EM interference. Down to 3%. EM interference negligible. (repeated 7 times)
Isotope (4 total)	Isotope signal strong (repeated 4 times)
Gamma Shields (6 total)	Gamma shields fully effective. (repeated 6 times)
Notes (2 total)	Master in attendence Progress noted and submitted to SK

Sorted Data

• This is a best fit of the data, so may not be right. Assumptions in sorting the data are included in the file.

It leads to several other conclusions:

• They started off trying to increase the accuracy, but then moved onto trying to increase the distance over which they were able to transfer.
• The lab may have been part of another underground facility, so it would not have been visible when the Visitor Centre opened.
• The Gamma Shields seem to have been introduced in order to combat the problem with EM waves.
• It is possible (although this is highly speculative) that the Gamma Shields failed when Major Maine was transferred which may be why he was having so many problems with the EM waves.

Viendenbourg Heritage Centre Violet & Scarlett went to Viendenbourg, and were shocked by the appalling display of ... tourism. Kurt managed to dislodge a choppy piece of data, affectionately known as the VHC tempfile, the contents of which changed everything.
