ㅤS-47ㅤ
ㅤLocation of Capture:ㅤ Coerthas, near Province Point
ㅤSummary of Events:ㅤ
The subject was apprehended in Coerthas following a hostile encounter. Despite initial resistance, the subject was rapidly neutralized with standard containment protocols. Upon further examination, it was determined that conventional sedatives are sufficient for subduing the subject during periods of heightened aggression.
ㅤLanguage Proficiency:ㅤ
The subject has demonstrated complete fluency in the Garlean language and has been observed engaging in clear and coherent communication with the research team.
ㅤAuthorized Interaction:ㅤ
Dr. [REDACTED] is the sole individual with the necessary clearance to directly engage with the subject. All communication is conducted under stringent security measures to prevent unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information.
ㅤCurrent Status:ㅤ
Ongoing investigations into the subject’s anomalous physical and behavioral characteristics are in progress. Preliminary findings suggest irregularities in both physiological and psychological responses. Additionally, a significant anomaly has been detected in the subject’s aetheric composition. Standard aetheric readings indicate a fluctuating and highly unstable signature, which deviates from typical organic patterns. These fluctuations are believed to be linked to the subject’s shapeshifting abilities, though further analysis is required to determine the full extent of the aetheric disruption and its potential impact on the subject’s physiology.
ㅤConclusion:ㅤ
Continued observation and analysis are crucial for understanding the full scope of the subject’s unique attributes and potential applications. Additional data will be compiled in subsequent reports.

ㅤObjective:ㅤ
To determine the efficacy of specialized pharmaceuticals and aetheric manipulation in controlling and subduing the subject’s free will, with the intent of achieving complete compliance and submission to Garlean authority. This experiment seeks to explore methods for ensuring the subject’s obedience in combat scenarios, intelligence gathering, and other operations critical to the empire’s interests.
ㅤSummary of Procedure:ㅤ
Phase 1: Sedative Induction
Subject S-47 was administered a high dosage of [REDACTED], an experimental sedative designed to suppress the subject’s higher cognitive functions while maintaining basic motor capabilities. The subject exhibited initial resistance, but after 15 minutes, physiological responses were observed to stabilize, allowing for subsequent testing.
Phase 2: Cognitive Manipulation
Once sedation was achieved, a combination of aetheric resonance manipulation and psychoactive compounds was introduced. The objective was to interfere with the subject’s neural pathways, specifically targeting the aetheric channels associated with free will and decision-making. Aetheric siphons were used to synchronize with the subject’s aetheric signature, creating an artificial link between the subject’s consciousness and the external control device.
Phase 3: Direct Control Implantation
An experimental “Control Node” was surgically implanted within the subject’s cranial cavity, interfacing directly with the subject’s aetheric core. This node is designed to transmit external commands via both chemical and aetheric signals, overriding the subject’s voluntary actions. The implantation was conducted under heavy sedation, and recovery is ongoing. Post-surgery, the subject’s responses to commands were monitored.
ㅤObservations:ㅤ
Initial Response: The subject’s resistance to control was notable during early stages, with marked attempts to break free from both the physical sedation and aetheric manipulation. However, as the Control Node integrated with the subject’s aetheric system, the resistance diminished.
Compliance Threshold: Subject S-47 exhibited a significant decline in independent thought after the full implantation of the Control Node. During initial tests, the subject attempted to resist direct commands but was unable to manifest full defiance. On command, the subject performed complex tasks (e.g., manual labor, basic combat drills) with no visible sign of internal conflict.Psychological Effects: When queried, the subject exhibited fragmented responses, showing signs of dissociation and confusion. It frequently questioned its own autonomy, suggesting a deepening state of psychological subjugation. Emotional distress was noted but did not hinder compliance. However, it remains unclear whether the subject retains full cognitive awareness of its actions while under control.Aetheric Reactions: Aetheric interference appears to have a stabilizing effect on the subject’s shapeshifting abilities. The subject’s transformation capabilities were temporarily suppressed during periods of high-stress commands but resumed normally once the command was completed. Further testing will be required to determine if the subject can still shapeshift under extreme stress or when forced into subservience for extended periods.

ㅤResults:ㅤ
The Control Node has proven effective in limiting the subject's free will. Subject S-47 is now capable of following complex commands with minimal resistance. However, ethical concerns regarding the psychological toll of prolonged manipulation and the potential risks of complete cognitive dissolution must be addressed in future phases of testing.
Further, while the subject remains physically capable of shapeshifting, it is unclear whether the subject can maintain full control over its transformation when subjected to constant psychological and aetheric manipulation. The ability to retain or modify its form under mind control remains a critical area of further study.ㅤConclusion:ㅤ
Initial results from the subject’s cognitive subjugation experiments are promising. The Control Node has shown a strong potential for overriding free will, and with further refinement, could lead to an effective method of controlling changelings or other captured entities for the Garlean Empire’s strategic purposes. Additional tests are needed to understand the long-term effects of such manipulation, including the potential for psychological breakdowns or aetheric incompatibilities.
ㅤNext Steps:ㅤLong-Term Observation: Continued monitoring of the subject’s mental and aetheric stability over a period of several weeks.
Expanded Testing: Introduction of additional subjects to assess the scalability and universality of the Control Node’s efficacy.
Ethical Considerations: Consult with High Command regarding the potential application of this technology in military and espionage contexts, as well as any need for additional safeguards or intervention protocols to prevent abuse.

Subject S-47 has somehow bypassed the Control Node implant. It appears the aetheric signature adapted, rendering the control ineffective. Immediate lockdown and further analysis required.

S-47 Capture Alert
ㅤSubject Escapeㅤ – Immediate Action Required It has come to our attention that Subject S-47 has successfully escaped containment. Initial analysis suggests the subject may have bypassed both physical and aetheric restraints through adaptive transformation abilities.
All personnel are advised to immediately cease all ongoing projects involving S-47 and implement full lockdown protocols. The subject is highly dangerous and may attempt to infiltrate Garlean facilities or sabotage critical operations. Do not engage without authorization or backup.
ㅤEscalating threat levelㅤ—request immediate mobilization of Special Forces and G.E.A.R.S. Division for retrieval.
