Richard:


By the time you read this I should already be at The Swan, hopefully getting the information that Ethan could not relay to us. I am already expecting to find him dead, and due to recent events concerning Goodwin, doubt it will be easy to get back so soon let alone so easily. Bea Klugh is to be left in charge of the “special cases,” with Dr. Patricia Price as head of the research team. Take care of special case number 1. That may be my best shot of coming out alive.

Station Access: Staff, Temporary


September 22, 2004:

It has been confirmed by M. Bakunin that the subject known as special case number 1 (SC-I) is indeed Stephen Wilson. He survived the crash and is in stable condition. I will keep him in observation in the Staff station alongside Ethan and his project. Tom has agreed to help us as Ben had asked him to stay close by.

It is possible that Wilson’s abilities as a private investigator, particularly his developed sense of intuition, are indeed evidence of telepathy. Our introductions were quick and informal as I was greeted with him going in and out of consciousness. Tests will begin once SC-I is strong enough to stand under his own constitution.

October 18, 2004:

Test 1: Alpha Level= 2.5%, Results: NEGATIVE
Test 2: Alpha Level = 5%, Results: NEGATIVE
Test 3: Alpha Level= 10%, Results POSITIVE


Notes:

Remote viewings have been the most positive so far among adult subjects, particularly past the age of 20. There are a few instances of possible psychic abilities. As was expected, Mr. Wilson seems to respond to stressful situations much more easily than casual viewings.


This coincides with other findings with a confidence level of 80% and while impressive, does not qualify the case as being an anomaly of any interest, at least in the field of remote viewings. There is potential in developing said skill as well as other psionic abilities. Further study is needed. I placed his notebook within the vicinity of Mr. Wilson in hopes to extract new findings.


November 4, 2004: ....

Test 1: Alpha Level= 2.5%, Results: POSITIVE
Test 2: Alpha Level = 0.025%, Results: POSITIVE
Test 3: Alpha Level= 0.0001%, Results: POSITIVE ***OUTILER ***


Recommendation: Lloyd is a possible Black Swan. Suggest further tests. Blood samples extracted (must compare with known relatives). Downgrade Stephen Wilson to SC-II and upgrade Walt Lloyd to SC-I. Notify superiors of results.

Notes:

Anger and frustration seem to be a driving force in the performance of SC-I. At first fearful, the remote viewings proved inconclusive, but placing the boy in stressful situations increases his abilities. His fear of us subsides with time and it must be noted that he shows little to no apprehension about the surrounding jungle. Is it possible he has been on the island previously? Perhaps this is evidence of some sort of connection with the environment.

November 7, 2004:

SC-I is placed in the holding room adjacent to SC-II where no physical interaction is possible. They were allowed to communicate with one another across the hallway. SC-II refuses to comply with any of our suggestions. While not rebellious, SC-I remains disobedient and indifferent about his current situation. It is still unclear as to whether or not either Wilson or Lloyd is aware of the other’s presence. I have been instructed not to inform them of this.

The subjects are now deep in REM state and seem to be exhibiting similar and possibly related activities in their dream state. Confirmation of said activity was confirmed when SC-II asked, “What’s your name?” and SC-I responded “My name is Walt.” SC-I was promptly removed and quickly brought to Room 23. His brain activity was measured and the results show his frustration and anger levels rising critically. Oddly, his vitals remained stable. It is almost as if he is still in a deep REM state.

Suddenly, sharp banging interrupted the music of Room 23. At first, I thought it was nothing until somebody alerted me to check out what was going on. It is unclear as to whether or not Walt Lloyd’s experience is responsible for what was observed. Several birds have crashed into the wall just outside of Room 23. It is reasonable to conclude that this was the work of SC-I in his current state. Juliet Burke was quickly notified.

November 8, 2004:
SC-II is interrogated about his dreams but refuses to tell them to us. I reminded him of his notebook and encourage him to write down what he remembers. I ask him who Walt is, but he does not respond. The incident with the birds ceased as soon as the movie in Room 23 was stopped. SC-I is sleeping soundly in a separate cell.

Last night’s events led me to believe there is good reason to test if Mr. Wilson has the same response as the young boy. He was placed in the room, not as punishment, but purely for research purposes. There was no indication that he has the same abilities to call birds telepathically. In fact he seems more receptive to the effects of the room than SC-I. The results are inconclusive, but further testing in Room 23 is not needed.

November 9, 2004:

Bea Klugh has come to personally oversee the progress of my research, particularly the anomalies concerning SC-I. She instructed me to take him into the computer room. I protested arguing that it will be possible for him to contact outside help with the computers. She assures me that she knows what she is doing. I let her know that Walt has been to Room 23 and though does not enjoy it, has full control of his abilities within its confines.

Ms. Klugh asks me to have Room 23 prepared and reserved for this portion of the experiment. In addition, she asks if I could turn on the computer in the computer room and make sure that it has access to communicate with the Swan computer. Again, she reassures me that everything is under control. I tell her of my apprehension with the level of power that SC-I possesses and the possibility that his unawareness of it may be a danger to everyone. This is the time she tells me that if all goes well, the young boy will be taken out of my hands.

SC-I is taken into the computer room and I tell him that he is not allowed to use the computer, not even allowed to touch it. Ms. Klugh then takes the microphone to let the young boy that his father is the only person that can see what he types on the computer. SC-I protests as is expected, but Ms. Klugh does not waiver in her methods. He sits in front of the computer possibly contemplating how to work his way around our ironic little rule of not touching the computer.


Suddenly, the look on his face melts away and resembles the usual blank stare of any person in Room 23. Finding it strange I opt to send in help, but Bea alerts my attention to the computer. Eerily, SC-I had found a way to contact his father through the computer, and still not break the rule.


November 17, 2004:

I must admit that I have grown rather attached to these cases. Not only have they yielded unexpected, exciting results, but also they remind me of myself in graduate school. The look of fear and determination, and what they must feel with the cold, unfeeling stare of complete strangers as the struggle to make their selves recognized as human beings.


I almost feel sorry for the subjects, but I remember that it is all being done in the name of science, a science whose very existence serves the greater cause of all mankind. But I digress. I fear that I have grown useless though Bea assures me that I will be needed in the future.

They are sending me home for a week, and upon my return I will continue my training. I wish this was a personal leave, but I am being sent to do reconnaissance work on three subjects that may be making their way to the island.


Bea has taken SC-I to Room 23 and tells me to not that she is increasing the intensity while he is inside. Apparently, he will be seeing his father soon, and Ms. Klugh would like to supervise the visitation.


Addendum:
Note that Wilson has begun to write in his notebook. Brainwave frequency measurement will begin now. It should also be noted that the notebook was meant ONLY as a means to stimulate other parts of his psyche. Perhaps his subconscious will be triggered in this fashion. Nothing of use to this study can be directly observed from the notebook itself. More accurate measurements of brain activity will be measured when the subject known as SC-II is fully affected by the tranquilizers in his supper. The notebook will be submitted to Ms. Klugh.


November 18, 2004:

A spike in his telepathic abilities is somehow magnified by his writing, but more surprisingly so in REM state. It is possible that Wilson is exhibiting more communicative methods with SC-I who has been taken to the other side of the island by my supervisor, Bea Klugh. She assures me that a sample from a blood relative will soon be retrieved upon her return.

The door was left open to allow SC-II to escape. Certain lights of some corridors are left on to guide him to the desired exits. If all goes well, Wilson should find himself in the jungle in the direction towards the fuselage survivor’s crude camp. Ben Linus assures that the end of SC-II’s usefulness is near and he will be taken care of by the week’s end. Ethan and Tom have long since left this station and I have been instructed to abandon the facility as well.
