Hello!

Few things before I post the story section (Skip to the heading for the start of the story):

I have been working on a story now for a good while and I am finally, finally getting things together to be in a useful format and order.

Honestly, I am very excited as this is the first time I have ever tried to write a story and it is thanks to CreepCast I fully took the first steps.

I fully intend on posting the whole story here. As of right now, most of it is written but there are three things that need serious work. Unfortunately, I have hit a roadblock with those. 

I think it will be therefore useful to just release the parts I can when I can. So, because of that, if you have feedback, I will be taking that into account for the sections I have to finish (I greatly appreciate if you just read the story).

Next thing is the content advisory for the story as a whole (not just this part):

* **Human Trafficking & Slavery:** The story features an industrialized setting where humans are treated as inventory, subject to strict quality control, rental for sexual purposes, and disposal upon failure.
* **Sexual Violence & Exploitation:** While not explicitly erotic, the text contains heavy implications of forced sexual servitude, grooming of minors, and "inspections" of victims. It depicts severe trauma responses, including dissociation and involuntary reversion to conditioned "service" behaviors during moments of stress.
* **Graphic Violence & Gore:** The narrative includes visceral descriptions of physical combat and torture, including eye-gouging, amputation by biting, strangulation, and force-feeding of hazardous materials.
* **Body & Medical Horror:** There are frequent depictions of biological experimentation, including forced breeding programs, chemical testing on human subjects, and industrial environments composed of living flesh. Scenes also depict self-surgery without anesthesia and the removal of skin branding.
* **Child Abuse:** The story references the trafficking and conditioning of minors, including physical and psychological abuse disguised as paternal care.
* **Psychological Distress:** The protagonist experiences severe mental fracturing, including auditory and visual hallucinations, memory loss, and the splitting of identity as a coping mechanism for trauma.
* **Substance Abuse:** Characters rely on alcohol and substance use to cope with their reality and suppress hallucinations.

I have tried my absolute best to manage the topics.

On to the story!

# Human Resources

**Subject:** Hanna

**Age:** 12

**Investigate:** Suitability as recruiter

**Persons Present:** Hanna (subject) | Krallos (observation) | Aurella (lead)

**Objective:** Upon observation of how subject handles negotiation and communication skills, it has been determined a relevant endeavour to question subject as to their methods. Strong evidence of narcissistic traits dictate allowing subject more free relay of information is to be accommodated. Due to the value of the received subject, “Cookie”, it is critical to gather a clear progression as to how the situation transpired.

**Date Start:** 15-05-1980

**Time Start:** 14:00

**Time End:** 14:12

**Summary:**  Subject displays high-functioning sociopathic tendencies and a transactional morality system. High regard for "rules" and "fairness" as defined by an internal logic structure (refer to: "Muracr"). This structure must be further investigated.

**Result:** Designated Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Master Copy

**INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT OVERLEAF**

**AURELLA:** State your name for the record.

**HANNA:** Hanna.

**AURELLA:** Hanna? Nothing more?

**HANNA:** H. A. N. N. A. Hanna.

**AURELLA:** Thank you. Now, Hanna, we are very impressed with the trade you conducted. It is rare for someone your age to negotiate a custom modification on a vehicle with such ease. Frankly, I believe even Mr. Ancillus was taken by surprise.

**HANNA:** The arrows make it go faster. He knew that. The engineers are stupid. Mister knew. I knew he knew. He was like butter in my hands.

**AURELLA:** Could you elaborate on that?

**HANNA:** Look lady, I will try but it’s not easy. It’s like… you know when you get a piece of metal and melt it? Like that. I leaned on him. Not with my body but my mind. He didn’t even know.

**AURELLA:** I see… I think I understand. You mean you got Mr. Ancillus to do what you wanted, is this correct?

**HANNA:** Of course that’s what I mean. You are kind of smart miss. I think that’s cool.

**AURELLA:** You’re too kind Hanna. Could you explain how you found the girl? You called her… Asteria.

**HANNA:** Oh, that stray? Yeah. I found her moping near the Mound. Looking at the sky like a silly idiot. She was hungry. I’m a nice person, you know? I decided to help.

**AURELLA:** You fed her?

**HANNA:** I tried! I took her to my spot. Best spot in the district. Fresh meat. I caught a rat—a big, fuzzy one. Juicy. I even showed her how to twist the neck so you don't lose the blood. And you know what she did?

**AURELLA:** No? Please, I would love to know.

**HANNA:** She pet it!

**AURELLA:** My goodness!

**HANNA:**  I tried to put it in her mouth. She’s simple you see. But she spat it out. Spat. It. Out. Disrespectful. I offer her a five-star meal, and she treats me like dirt? Muracr said right then, "Watch her, Hanna. She's ungrateful."

**AURELLA:** Muracr?

**HANNA:** My... advisor. He works for me. I keep him around, he knows things. He said, "If they lie once, they'll kill you later." She lied about being hungry. She said she was hungry, but she wouldn't eat. That’s a lie. That’s the sign of evil.

**AURELLA:** So, Hanna, did you decide to trade Asteria because of that lie?

**HANNA:** OF COURSE NOT!  I gave her one more chance. She said she'll play with me!

**AURELLA:** Did she?

**HANNA:** No! She lied twice! I was being so good and she was being mean. Mister sent us to that fancy noodle place. The one with the neon lights and squishy chairs. We sat in a booth, it was really cool. It smelled like fake flowers but… yeah… it was really cool.

**AURELLA:** Did you let her eat there?

**HANNA:** *\[Laughter\]* Are you crazy? No! That wouldn't be fair. She rejected my food. If she's too good for my food, she doesn't get the noodles. I ate the whole bowl while she watched. She cried, but I told her, "These are the rules." Lady… miss, she even tried to… she tried to bite me.

**AURELLA:** You’re lying, sur-

**HANNA:** DON’T YOU DARE ACCUSE ME OF THAT! I would never! NEVER! I told her she was not allowed to eat and she was mean.

**AURELLA:** Did you feel guilt?

**HANNA:** Guilt? For what? I was teaching her a lesson. Besides, it was only fair. She wasn’t a friend just... spare parts. Mister wanted her. I wanted a bike. If he wants someone who lies and is mean then that is for him then. I got a nice bike too! Did you see it?

**KARALLOS:** *\[Interjecting\]* She viewed the subject as currency?

**HANNA:** Everything is currency if you find the right buyer, old man. Can I go now? I want to see if the paint is dry on my arrows.

**AURELLA:** A very… practical approach...

**HANNA:**  Can. I. Go. Now?

**AURELLA:** Karallos… we can- let me turn thi-

*\[Recording Ends\]*



# Inventory & Misc. - 02-01-1977

Procured 108 gilt status specimens. Of those, 86 are viable for live production observation. 16 are to be disassembled and scanned. The remainder lack visual appeal, therefore they shall be recycled.

I find it most disturbing how the unit produce. Hip girdle consistently obstructs passage. Result is extended time to deliver as well as insufficient product size upon delivery. By observing live manufacture and delivery, I intend to refine the procedure. Doing so will accommodate growing demand.



# Efficiency Goals - 03-01-1977

Results of size reduction test are dissatisfactory. Removal of limbs resulted in 0 decrease in standard output. When compared to baseline numbers, 30% greater yield can be achieved in a functionally identical space requirements..

While good, tests for additional part replacement have been fruitless. As of right now, there is a lack of infrastructure to accommodate additional functions at an acceptable scale.

The 86 specimens from yesterday were divided in 3 batches of 28 with a remainder of 2. The 2 specimen have had “natural” motions undertaken. 

Batch 1, using compound E6-LL3-A, show signs of progress. 

Batch 2, using compound E6-LL3-B, demonstrate rapid progress.

Batch 3, using compound E6-LL3-C, total failure.



# Compound E6-LL3-B - 10-01-1977

Batch 1 (E6-LL3-A)  has continued to progress at a rapid yet thus far uneventful pace.

Batch 2 (E6-LL3-B) has progressed in a unique manner. Alas, of the 28 subject, \~35.71% have suffered structural integrity issues. Interestingly, although the exterior failed, the uterus proves highly resistant. 10% of those subjects remain viable and are to be monitored more closely. The remaining 90% have been disassembled and assessed.

Subjects which retain structural integrity remain of interest.

Tomorrow, Aegis is expected to deliver street sweep samples.



# Batch 2 - 15-01-1977

Total structural failure. Compound E6-LL3-B shows considerable promise. Specimens lack resilience for desired progress. Infrastructure for mass handling of external functions is, as of now, unobtainable.

Batch 1 continues to progress at a slow rate.

Batch 2 results:

* 12 day estimated turnaround
* \~35.71% producer failure rate
* \~23.43% resulted in nonfunctional forms
* Of the 32 produced units;
   * 0% viable unit
   * \~3.57% chance for fetus in fetu - attempts to recreate underway
   * Unit packages;
      * Singular - 50%
      * Double - 30%
      * Triple - 10%
      * Outlier - 10%

Primary finding: subject resistance is lacking.



# Batch 1 - 24-01-1977

Compound E6-LL3-A, while initially slow and uneventful has generated a situation most intriguing. 3.57% of subjects exhibit a marvellous result. Yesterday, all subjects were progressing uniformly, approximately 8 days from conclusion. On this morning, I witnessed a miracle:

As I observed the subject, a faint murmuring could be heard from within. NOTE: Vocal chords are to be severed from her on - they serve little purpose except to muddy auditory results.

As I observed closer, the unit expanded by no less than 83.72% in mere moments. Structural integrity failed in totality. The output, while semi functional, neared production status. Alas, due to the producer’s lack of accommodation, severe internal injury of the product resulted in rapid shutdown.

The remainder of the batch continue as expected.

Aegis delivery - 14 units.

As the batch is small and compound E6-LL3-A is under observation, I have elected to store the new units for later use.



# Manufacturing Opportunity - 04-05-1980

A manufacturing breakthrough. I can now manufacture both the relaxin and oxytocin hormones with near perfect results.



# A Prime Specimen - 11-05-1980

Compound observations:

* E6-LW8-A
   * Batch culled - source of error is not yet found
* E6-LW8-B
   * 75% total structural failure
* E6-LW8-C
   * Subjects exhibit blistering skin - nothing else of note

A girl of approximate age 12 has, for some time now, brought objects for trade. Primarily, these served of little use. Her words though, were worthwhile. Something I thought improbable occurred - she brought a younger child for trade.

Her name, from here on, is “Cookie”. Her prior name, Elira Asteria, is thus forbidden. I am most delighted, due to her attributes and recent history, she is a prime candidate for remoulding.

External system support currently supports 5 development units. Alas, the system cannot accommodate actual development of product.



# Cookie - 12-05-1980

Subject makes excessive requests. My wits grow thin yet my intellect forces me forward. Strategies to facilitate a fruitful connect are under investigation as we speak. The new team is led by the trusted Karallos, I anticipate results in the next 3 days.

Subject does not appear to accept me as a father figure at present.

Compound E6-LW8-C shows signs of product production finally underway. Progress is far more rapid than compound E6-LW8-A or E6-LW8-B. It remains to be seen if structural integrity hold. High dosages of relaxin and oxytocin are administered at steady pace.



# System Failure - 14-05-1980

Karallos has not been trained adequately. I take responsibility and therefore will personally oversee his training.

My request was simple, yet evidently vague - create a plan to ensure fruitful connect between myself and Cookie. To my horror, dismay and upset, Karallos suggested the barbaric lobotomy as a method of easy control.

Obviously, this is cruel. How can the self learn to appreciate what is given if it is erased? To do so is to steal an entities right to joy.

Alas, I pose a question: Would you strike a mutt that attempts to appease its master? No, you commend the effort, take responsibility and better train it.

I will not allow this happen again. Karallos and his team are to be provided one additional attempt.



# Freedom - 18-06-1980

Hip girdle no longer poses issue. A system has been developed allowing the complete removal in no more than 15 minutes. Minimal subject damage resulting in minimal upkeep. Primary components remain unharmed.

Compound E6-LW8-C shows impressive scaling. The batch used for testing however, did not benefit from the new procedure. It is expected natural delivery of products will be improbable. Compound E6-LW8-C will be trialed on a new batch. The previous trial will shift from observing the production to observing structural integrity, hormonal alterations and other such relevant details.

Cookie refuses to cooperate despite my attempts. It was during a meeting Karallos spoke of freedom. He proposed pain reward. V1 of my Judas Eye concept is far too volatile to attempt use with such a delicate subject. V2 is under way.

Karallos’ question sparked my mind with a desire, or rather, need to understand freedom. Without doubt, freedom can be defined sufficiently as such:

“The ability to find satisfaction within a given system.”

It is beautiful. I plan on relaying this to Karallos at the next meeting. Perhaps this will aid him in manufacturing a process to gain a fruitful connection with Cookie.

The recent unrest has resulted in a fortunate moment. Aegis is scheduled to make a delivery.



# Breakthrough - 29-12-1984

All at once, many pieces have clicked together:

* Compound S12 - successful dissolution of rigid frameworks from subject forms
   * This allows unparalleled flexibility
* Compound E6-XA9-B - rapid production with low failure rate
* Mira

Mira is the system I crafted to allow multiple removed processing units from subjects to communicate. Along with my facility now being capable of artificial support of subjects, this allows for high density, high yield production. Currently, the creation process tasks Mira with hardly a fraction of pressure. I believe that Mira will be capable of near limitless scaling and pristine control of facility life systems.

It will, I believe, allow for optimal environments for staff to conduct research due to intuitive climate and atmosphere management among other tasks.

Cookie had grown to appreciate me. Her age is now that of 9. My time runs short. V2 of my Judas Eye has not ran as smoothly as I would need. In three years, it must be operational. I cannot allow for Cookie to be used improperly while her services are in use. I will not allow it.

Ok! Out of the story for now. First things first, thank you for reading! The next part will be out at some point. I will update this post. The story shifts after this to a different POV and writing style.
