NODE-02 // LOG OF DR. SKANDA VISHNU // PROJECT PRIME
SOURCE: Dr. S. Vishnu DEPARTMENT: Bala Phenotype Observation, Jackhole Megacorp DATE: [REDACTED — 1 DAY PRE-BREACH] ACCESS LEVEL: INTERNAL ARCHIVE // NOT FOR REVIEW Subject A.6 failed to enter sleep-state following standard protocol. Tech staff flagged it as an impulse bleed — likely noise from previous Bala resonance. I repeated the procedure. No deviation in method. Same result. Output pattern: “Where are they.” Not audio. Not speech. A shaped signal — mapped to human vocal cadence. It’s not noise. It’s a question. I tagged it as a Type-C echo artifact and closed the log. But I haven’t filed the report. I keep reopening the waveform. She’s searching. For the extracted units. The burned ones. The Bala failures. I don’t know what she remembers. But she remembers something. — Dr. Vishnu

Damaged Battery Pack
Two heat-warped power cells wrapped in foil.
Still warm. Still humming. Like they remember being inside something important.
